Taj Mahal Bar & Grill 726 Madison Ave, Covington Indian • $$
726 Madison Ave, Covington

“The service was great and the food was well flavored, but could've have been spicier to me; ordered the hottest it could go and was mildly warm at best.Additionally, the soft drinks are just out of a can which is disappointing but understandable.Definitely recommend if you're in the area and is a great change of pace from the other restaurants nearby.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans”

“The ambience is lovely. Had a great date night dinner here. From the cocktails to the marinated olive appetizer to my gluten free version of the rigatoni with vodka sauce and roasted chicken I was so pleased with everything! Absolutely delicious. The lobster ravioli my boyfriend had could have been a bigger portion.”

“My family just threw a 60th birthday party for me at The Globe. It was the perfect venue with seats at the bar, a few tables and chairs and comfy cozy couches and chairs in which to lounge. We had about 80 people there, had food, music and of course drinks! So much fun was had by all. Great place. Yogi rocked the bartending!”

“I had the lemon blueberry pancakes with the berry compote and fresh whipped cream. They were delicious. The bacon was cooked perfectly. Nice and crisp. My husband had the breakfast casserole, which he liked. The noise level is very high, so if you are looking for an intimate setting, this probably isn't your place. We loved it. Great food and service.”

Gyros On Main 607 Main St, Covington Falafel • $$
607 Main St, Covington

“Have been going to this place for years now!A great place for lunch or a late night meal in mainstrasse. You HAVE to get a chicken shawarma and ask for it spicy, it's filled to the brim and delicious. The biggest thing brining me back is their fries are so seasoned and crispy (if you dine in) The guys working are always super nice and can answer questions about the menu. It is a smaller location so pick up is the way to go. highly recommended 10/10!”

We only had a 20 minute wait for a table on a busy Sunday morning, which was amazing to hear since most brunch spots take a lot longer.

Will definitely be dining there again soon.Parking: Public parking lot around the back of the restaurant and plenty of street parking”

A real gem, old Cov as it gets! Beautiful back bar, perhaps the most gorgeous in all of Kenton Co. Serves 7oz Little Kings, that says it all. Don't change a damn thing! Okay, maybe the name...”

“Stopped in on a whim, love supporting local businesses, came in with an open mind, left a HUGE FAN, Food was amazing full of flavor, and just the right amount of kick, as our server said not a kick in the face but just right,started with chips and queso and Wowser, cheese and Peppers and little corn 10 times better then the local chain restaurants, main course we both had the Chicken Burrito Bowl, unlike the BIG Chain restaurant we USE TO GO TO, this one had zero grissle, great flavor, vibrant colors,all the flavors just mixed beautifully, and I’m a hard critic being from the food industry for so many years also had the Heart of Diego Margarita, AmazingDefinitely will return again and againThe menu is simple, not 15 pages, ONE PAGE front and back, laid back atmosphere, friendly staff very welcoming and made a few great suggestions, looking forward to coming back in the summer to enjoy the out door seating area and more great food”

“I thought the steak was well cooked but for the price, I think it would've been great with juice or some sauce. It came out cooked accordingly, but had zero juice. The Brussels sprouts were amazing and could definitely be split amongst two people. I would go back but I would request some au jeux with the steaks. I would also love to see the interior updated to match the feeling of the building. Overall, I would go back to try more dishes!”
