Our daughter brought me home some leftovers from here a couple of months ago. It was really good, and I liked it better than the much closer Flame. Tried it again last week and it was even better! It's worth the drive. I always get Chicken Tikka Masala, extra side of rice and garlic nan. According to their website, Chicken Tikka Masala is the most popular dish. Posting that on their on line order page may help me venture out on my next order and try something new and different. Their website is easy to navigate and I was able to pay online.When I went in to get my order I was impressed by the dining room. It's cozy and would be nice for date night. My takeout was still hot and packaged securely. I'll be back for sure!

With a warm and cozy setting and good food, this place is a lovely spot for good Indian food. Our server was on top of his game and kept us in water and tea. I was very happy with the food, the place and the service. Now we had been expecting a buffet but it had been very cold with a solid amount of snow so the buffet had been temporarily suspended. The limited menu was good and fairly priced.

For more than a decade, I have patronized Baba, mainly ordering the Saag Paneer and occasionally Garlic Naan when I have dined with friends. Their recipes are consistent and good. Today, I added the Fish Pakora appetizer to my typical order, and it was absolutely delicious! While I could go for less heavy on the salt, the flavor was all there. I ordered it for carryout, but when I arrived home, it was still hot, flaky, and fresh tasting. Baba is the closest Indian spot to my home that actually serves fish pakora, so they will definitely begin to see me more frequently. Yum!Also important to note is that the older gentleman who took my order over the phone and attended to me when I picked up my order was gentle and kind. I wish they would have had more people like him in their earlier years because his type of energy is what gives a place a "family-owned" vibe (insert heart emoji).

Baba India, mm, mmm, mmmm! Sooo good! If you're looking for an Indian restaurant to frequent in Cincinnati, stop looking, cuz you just found it! The food is delicious and if you like it spicy they got you, if you don't they got you. The service is great, the workers are welcoming and friendly. Also, the ambiance is warm and inviting. I would recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely love this place! Friendly staff and excellent service. So many great choices of classics. It's hard to make a bad choice with all of the selections available. I can never pass up the naan, and I enjoy the spicy flavors. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming too.

I've been coming to Baba India with my dad since I was a child - so most of my life! Personally I think this is the best Indian in the city. Their rice is unique to any other rice I've had because they put saffron in it and I think it really adds something special to the rest of the meal.Their garlic naan is very garlicky and has a good crispness to it. Some restaurants use too much oil and it makes the naan greasy but here it is just right. Their mango lassi is delicious - a smooth, drinkable mango yogurt with a hint of Rosewater. The Rosewater is used perfectly, as too much Rosewater can quickly be overpowering. Chicken tikka masala is the go to for both my husband and I, and I think Baba's is the best. It's very creamy and they give you tons of sauce (very important in my book) and it has a good amount of spices.Service is always excellent here as they are very attentive and quick to provide refills and check ins on your table. Highly recommend Baba for your next Indian craving!

Aromatic, spicy(if you want), deliciously spiced and very very fresh. Everything you crave about Indian cuisine.We were super impressed by the server. He was attentive and friendly. And the interior was clean and colorful and there were fun music videos in the background but it was still easy to hear our server and each other.We did have some trouble finding them but we are not familiar with the area. I know that it will be easier next time because I can't wait to go back. The buffet is no longer available but the menu is great, the portions are nice and the flat breads are giant.

Was recently reading an article about the best Indian restaurants in the US. Needless to say I was very happy to see one located in an area where I frequently travel for business.Finally had a chance to try it today and it did not disappoint. So happy I made the trip to Baba.Today I had the chicken korma. A beautiful dish, loaded with chicken, cashews in a silky smooth curry.The Paratha that I ordered along side was perfect...crispy outside with a nice chew to it.There was so much on the menu I wanted to try, will definitely be back for more

The food was good but very small portions for the price. They failed to follow instructions and forgot multiple items. IMO it's overpriced and I've had much better food.

Simply the best Indian dining experience I have had in a long time. It's a strange thing that ethnic food gets relegated to take out and door-dash mostly with this generation. Large restaurant groups that are more on trend seem to scoop up people dining out for the night; undeservedly though, the intimacy and memorable night-out is here for you.The setting at Baba India at night is so intimate for a food place formerly known for its lunch buffet. The restaurant has made a pivot toward higher-end sit-down dining, and the service was excellent. We ordered garlic naan, chicken tikka, and aloo saag. The Tandor they cook with in the back kitchen has a real expert slapping naan dough into the side of the hot ceramic oven, because the naan is one of the best I have ever had: delicate, crispy, still steaming from the oven when it comes out to the table. The family has run this restaurant and others for 3 generations now. I love that age old story in the culinary world. Families surviving, traveling, thriving, nourishing and giving generation after generation on what started off as scribble on a grandmother's kitchen card, or time around her.You should take your family or a date here. You'll come away with a meal and a memory.
