Chaska Grill

I stand by Chaska being one of the the best in Cincy, and by far the best lunch buffet. Leaps and bounds above the rest. The only better buffet is AAB in Columbus, now that Taj closed a few years ago. The tandoori chicken is spot on the best I've ever had, including in India!

I live about 5 minutes from Chaska and drive by it at least four times a week, often more, and it took me almost half a year after they opened to finally give it a try.And I am soo happy I finally dragged myself in.I love Indian food, but Raja India (who I believe is owned by the same people as Akash down on 6th street in downtown Cincinnati) is closer and was always good enough. Additionally, the space that Chaska is in has been several Indian restaurants - none ever lasting very long. So, I was complacent and for that I am sorry.When you walk in you are greeted with the smell of curry spices and warm, red walls with black accents. On each table is a flower too.Getting to the good stuff, Chaska Grill has amazing Indian & Pakistani food. The flavor is just so much better than Raja's and I enjoy getting to see and take big bites of the ingredients (onions, peppers, chicken, paneer, etc.) I've gone back here about 3 times in the span of a week and a half it's so good. I've ordered dinner and I've had the lunch buffet - both of which were excellent. The lunch buffet food is all very mild so everyone can enjoy it. The selection at the buffet is also really diverse - another bonus. One of my new favorites is the Mixed Platter appetizer: 1 Vegetable Samosa, 1 Keema Samosa, 5 Vegetable Pakora, 2 Paneer Pakora and 2 Chicken Pakora (it's a combination of all their other appetizers.) Not only did I discover how amazing Paneer Pakora and Keema Samosa are, but I have a hard time picking between the appetizers - so why not just get them all? Problem solved.The family that owns Chaska is very friendly and really make sure that you're happy when you are there. When we were there for the lunch buffet they came over a handful of times to check up on us, refill drinks, and bring us more food.Parking is pretty easy - it's in a shopping center so there's lots of spaces to choose from. The interior every time we have been in has been spotless. There's really no reason not to go here.

Try Ala carte Chicken Tikka (Tandoori) and Chicken/Goat Biryani. These are the best around here. Service is slow, takes time for food to arrive. Lunch Buffet is a hit or miss. Service is terrible during Lunch Buffet

This place opened recently, we found out about it from some Pakistani friends who recommended it as the best Pakistani/ Indian food in town! The first time we went was for the lunch buffet which contained many great authentic dishes like beriani and chicken tikka...I'm usually not a big fan of too much hot spices but I forgot all about that when I was eating there, you really enjoy the taste!during the month of Ramadan, they have a dinner buffet with a different daily menu, and the atmosphere becomes a family style and feels like traditional home iftar.the service is very good and the price is reasonable. I totally recommend trying this place and I'm almost sure you'll get addicted to it.

This place was awful. First of all, they were out of paneer pakora. Then they didn't ask what level of spice I wanted for my goat korma. And whatever they brought out was definitely not korma and way too spicy. Even though they assured me that it was indeed korma. It took forever for the food to be ready even though we were the only people in the place at first. I asked for paneer to be added to my dish and it seemed as though they must have been running low because the cubes were cut into tiny pieces. Then when I asked for more rice, I was told they were out!! But the table next to me received entrees with rice.

I have been meaning to write a review on this place for sometime. Pakistani food is my comfort food and I am very picky when it comes to it. So when I say the food here is great, I am hoping it holds some weight My favorite dishes include: the keema naan, Aloo Naan, Chicken Saag, Mutka ghosht, and Karahi Chicken. Chicken Biryani is okay, was jus good enough, but nothing spectacular. Glad I ignored the one bad review. Definitely worth a visit.

Makes a brown man want to cry.Indo/PAaki food is known for its robust and vibrant flavor. This food may suffice for most of the non-brown for their diet is not as spice filled. However, for myself, the food came across as unenthusiastic. Literally Meh in taste.The palak paneer was decent, the only good thing, needed a bit of salt.This was carry out , did not have buffet , so i do not know about that.However, the reason I can strongly say this food is mediocre is the fact that I was fasting for ramadan. typically, food tastes good when you are hungry, however, this was not appetizing. A true disappointment

One line review is 'Great food, Average restaurant'I was here for work from Florida and happened to eat at this place and the food here is amazing.I have been to this place 5 times within 12 days, the reason behind is their authentic biryani and the grilled chicken. These guys know what they do; if you are in Cincinnati or nearby areas, try this place, I dont think lot of people know about this place, it is a hidden gem.Goat meat in the biryani is super tender and at its best, Chicken Tikka has that amazing flavor without the raw smell you get from other places, tried buffet once and it was good. The deserts Gulabjamon and Kesari was probably the best I have had in indian restaurants.Only thing you may not like is the ambience and the loud TV playing Pakisthani programs, but for good food, I dont care about the ambience.

Started off with bad customer service and ended with bad food. I would not recommend this food to anyone. Pathetic!!!

Authentic food, great service. We arrived on Sunday for dinner, and there was hardly any customers.
