“We had a larger group for dinner. Everyone got something different so we tried different dishes. Everyone loved the food. No complaints with the food.
I believe the owner was our waiter, and he was very respectful and kind and attentive.
They are very kind with the kids and even put on the TV for them.
The only downside was if you went to the bathroom, it wasn’t very clean.“

“We love this restaurant. Our date night staple. The food is delicious, always hot and fresh. The owners are down to earth and genuinely nice people. They always are prompt with taking your order and bringing your food out, even when it's crowded. Just go try it...you won't regret it!“

“The food is phenomenal! I definitely recommend Grace of India!“

“Enjoyed a delicious lunch. Dined on chicken vindaloo, lamb curry and naan.“

“Delicious chicken makhani, lamb biryani and paneer naan. We will be back again soon!“

“Best Indian food I've ever had. After having so much terrible Indian food in the Cincinnati area, this place will be the only one I go back to. The place is clean, beautiful, and smells so good when you walk in. Everyone was friendly. My boyfriend loved it too. The herbs were fresh. Everything was exactly what I'm looking for when I want Indian. Between my boyfriend and I, we have no complaints and are already planning a date night here next weekend.“

“This place is kinda nondescript from the outside, but they have some of the best Indian food in Cincinnati. It is all vegetarian, so if you must have meat, look elsewhere. But their menu selection is large and their flavors are always on point. It’s also a little lighter than typical Indian food, which is nice. Their dosas are best enjoyed in the restaurant, as they come out hot and crispy and so dang good. My favorite part is their spice level… definitely some of the spiciest food I’ve had in the city. Anything above an 7 (out of 10) will have ya sweating hard. I love Amma’s.“

“I am 100% a fan of their Chicken Tikka Masala. The best I've ever had, hands down. Beside the amazing food, their service is excellent and the atmosphere is, not only eye catching but also be clean. AAP is always my favorite place to eat.“

“I was comparing to Ambar my absolute favorite and found this place had a very delicious similar sauce for the Chicken Makhani. Ambar includes raisin and cashews with theirs but could have added and is available as an extra at Adeep. The Garlic nan was great at both places a smaller not as heavy crunchy version at Adeep. The guys that work and some may own were super great friendly and was comfortable to eat there but is small and basic and does a bustling carry out and delivery. You will like it here.

Parking: Pay lot right next door was readily available for like 2 bucks paid by quarters at the machine located at each spot. Very convenient“

“My favorite Indian restaurant. The food is very delicious and consistent. They do chicken shahi korma my favorite way, with chunks of cheese and golden raisins in the sauce. My fiancé loves the vindaloo and general thickness of the curries here. The naan is also top-notch.“

“Thank you for the excellent service and food during our visit, with such a warm welcome! We miss our favorite restaurant since our move to FL. See you next time!“

“It’s been a few years since I’ve been able to have Indian food and man am I glad I chose this place. The food was absolutely perfect. Both fresh and delicious. The restaurant itself is very clean, and the service was warm and always with a smile.“

“The food. Chicken mas & the green sauce stuff, & those pea puffs & the pan bread all delicious !
It's made there,
Made to order. I get this 1-2x a year when I'm craving these dishes & tastes .
Even if my stomach churns for 3 days after. It's well worth the price.

Vegetarian options: The chicken mas is delicious & kids will eat it

Dietary restrictions: Be wary ! the green sauce with the white cubes. I always thought they were tofu. 😂. just learned it's cheese / milk cubes.

Parking: There should be plenty. If you make the circle around & around. Or park in the lot next to Chipotle & slide the attendant a 5$er

Kid-friendliness: Kids love to eat it

Wheelchair accessibility: 1 step up in. 1 step down out.“

“Fast service, no wait. The smell is fabulous right when you walk in. Food is top-notch. Easy to carry on a conversation at the restaurant- not too noisy. Free Parking in the rear.

Parking: In the rear. About 15 spots.“

“We came for the buffet but didn’t realize they don’t do buffet anymore! I’ve only had Indian food one other time, but this place is GOOD! We came on a Sunday afternoon and there was surprisingly only one other table that was sitting. The flavors are very delicious and fresh tasting. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, Mulligatawny Soup, Garlic Naan, Bhatura and the chickpea appetizer (I forgot the name). I will be returning again! Thank you for the yummy food and good service!“

“Awesome Customers service“

“Good food, great service!“

“I've traveled to Hyderabad many times since 2015 and always return back to the United States craving the same kind of food that is served there. When I found Ravi's, I no longer had to wait to go to India to have authentic South Indian cuisine because it is as authentic as it gets. I love the food and the owner is fantastic! I highly recommend this place!“

“They have some great food. I liked the biryani and chicken handi. My kids loved the samosas and gulab jaman.“

“Most delicious food in town . Cincinnati OH Forest park. Try once.“

“Had the great chicken biryani. Will order again :-)“

“This is an Indian restaurant in downtown Cincinnati near UC. It kind of focuses on like Indian street food as opposed to some of the fancier ones with the big menus and fancier dishes. There was a lot of good here as the restaurant looked very nice and the staff did a mostly good job (it took a while for them to cook the food but unless it's ridiculously long I don't complain about that and won't here either.) I went with my favourite Indian which is Lamb Vindaloo which is chunks of lamb (or whatever other meat you prefer) with a tomato based sauce with lot's of spices. I got mine a 4 out of spicy instead of my normal 5 because I had never been to this restaurant and didn't know how much they would spice it. I could have definitely gotten the 5 as the 4 wasn't all that spicy. It had some pretty good flavour and the lamb was cooked perfectly and was in pretty good sized pieces. Their naan was quite good as well which is vitally important at an Indian restaurant to soak up all of those sauces. I probably should have tried their street food which is their specialty but there will be a day for that. What I had was good but not great Indian food. When I come back and try the street food dishes I will reevaluate. I'd rate this about 6.5 out of 10.“
