Me and my cousin came here a few days ago and the customer service was great. The restaurant was clean and smelled soooo good. The food we ordered was fantastic too.

Absolutely delicious! The naans were enormous! Their flavors were fantastic. The highest level of spice wasn't the spiciest, but definitely delicious. I loved the ambiance, which was a nice middle ground between casual and fancy. The service was so, so pleasant. So friendly, in fact, that even if their food sucked, I would return. Happy to be a patron of this place.

My wife and I came to Shaan based on the high Yelp ratings. It was a Friday night and we arrived around 5. The place was empty when we arrived and by the time we left at 6:30 it was packed. So very popular locally. I would say that half the business during our dine-in experience was carry-out or door dash.I will talk food first, then get into other stuff. If you are ordering for carryout like most people, the food is likely your #1 priority. And BTW I recommend you order out anyay. Daal Soup - poor. It was watery, flavorless, and no discernible bits lentils. It was like they had enough for 1 cup left and added water to make it last for 10 servings. Special Chicken Tikka Masala - 90% creme, 10% contents. The Masala sauce tasted fine, but the chicken filling was thin.Egg Briana - Very good. It probably had 6 boiled eggs in it. If we would have ordered this, and got it to go, my review would probably be a 5.Tarka Dal - very good. Nice flavor. Thick sauce.Now if you want to dine-in, here are some things to be aware of. They use very bright LED lights so if you like bright places, you will love this. I personally found it too bright, but that's very personal. Adjacent booths share seat-backs and they are not anchored so you get to feel every bump and push of your rear neighbor. Like every Indian restaurant I've visited in town (Ambar, Kanak), the works area is at the back of the restaurant so all the carryout people create and endless stream of passers-by of your table and for tables in the front you get a bunch of people standing nearby texting (look at pic). Finally, like most family run restaurants they are thinly staffed. The same two people were taking care of all takeout business and dine-in tables which made for slower service and check-ins at table.If your in the mood for Indian, I would give them a try, but recommend carry-out.

Very good experience. Clean and comfortable with an excellent server. We ordered a 2 person special. It came with vegetable pakora, chili chicken, lamb kadai, and garlic nan. It was cheaper than ordering two entrees. We had enough leftovers for another meal later. I highly recommend this restaurant. Be sure to check out the meal for two special.

What a great introduction experience! This was both of our first times having Indian food and we've definitely found a new love. EVERYTHING was delicious!! Our waitress was so patient and great with helping us decide. I assumed everything would be spicy and was being picky because I have a low spice tolerance. But the spice is customizable which I thought was fantastic. We got a ton of food which were all amazing. Starting with our appetizers. We got the clay brick oven version of bbq chicken which was finger-lickin good it came on a sizzling skillet and the table sauces which were all incredible. We also had the samosas which were essentially beef patties that were LOADED and sprinkled with maybe garlic powder. I put the green sauce and sweet sauce on them and they were amazing. If we would have had rice, we could have gotten full off of the two appetizers alone. Entrees were fabulous, the level 3 of spice was spicy (for me) so I'm glad I didn't think medium was mild and stuck with my 1 for my chicken tiki masala. I probably could've tried 2 and I will next time. Can't wait to try more Indian cuisine.

I got takeout from here, and given the review history I was a tad surprised that it was a small strip mall place and not that busy. I ordered three dishes and I'm pretty sure I'll get at least three meals out of them. It's filling stuff.My haul included a choley bhatura, chickpeas with fried bread; the chickpea curry evinced a rich roasted onion note. It came with rice in case the bread was not enough (it wasn't), but no other flavorings or accompaniments which this dish often comes with (like pickles or chili peppers). Bhindi masala was a fairly straightforward dish, good but not with any outstanding flavor. I did want to try a paneer tikka, but clearly getting this to go was not the best option. I associate the dish with a dry barbecued paneer, but here they gave it to me with a bunch of onions and peppers mixed in, which made it soggy rather quickly. Don't get me wrong, it was still an interesting sweet and savory flavor and I'll be happy to eat it, but not quite what I was hoping for. Overall, it was a bit too much salt and not enough spices.It was decent food, but having tried a variety of other Indian takeout around Cincinnati, this one didn't do as well.
