I had the saag paneer. It was more of a gravy consistency with no visible spinach and brown color rather than green. It tasted good and medium was plenty hot, made me sneeze . The rice was typical Indian Basmati rice. And the garlic naan was soft and flaky as you would expect. But I believe it was made with garlic powder rather than real garlic. The flavor was intense rather than mild. The gentleman who served me was very kind and helpful. Even offered me some plain yogurt when he inquired about whether the food was too hot. It wasn't but the yogurt was a welcome touch. The space is very open. Several tables well spaced apart with bright overhead lights. The music about drove me mad though as it kept skipping. Not sure it really caters to the eat-in crowd.

For quality and value this is a winner. The interior seating area is very spartan with basic fast food style tables, I would recommend getting your meal to go. There are a lot of food choices in addition to the build your own meal. I got 2 naan tacos kormi with chicken. Also got a chikoo shake all for $15. The shake is small, as are the lassis. Wish I had gotten some samosas and dessert too.I'll be back for sure

We came once to try, and only got a main course for each to take home. We didnt want to order too much incase we didnt like it. Regret. Pure regret that we didnt order more. The flavors were banging! Everything was cooked right, and allows for mixing of flavors.They describe themselves a chipotle style restaurant, and that is the perfect description. They offer a variety of drinks and other sides. It was so good we came back with two of our kiddos. My son got a taco? And his picky butt said it was a 10/10. My picky husband? Loved every bite, even spicy. We plan to come back to try more things! Highly recommend!

It is a casual place. Never saw fusion of Indian food in Mexican style. It has different flavors and you can make your own bowl like chipotle but with twist of Indian food. I personally liked their vada pav. I tried pani puri and never had something like this before as it was warm potatoes filling. I recommend for the fast and quick lunch option. Service was fast. We tried twice while staying in Dayton.

I saw the ad on instagram. I was really excited to come to this "chipotle style" indian restaurant. The location is in an older looking building. But I went around lunchtime and it was extremely bustling - but the service was still pretty fast. They have a larger menu outside of the bowls/tacos. I got the rice bowl for $9 which is a very competitive price. I also added on the 3x Samosas for $6.The ingredients are very authentic and it does not make any abnormal substitutions.The curry is really great.Meat is well cooked not dried out in sauce. Some places really just toss in chicken into curry which is too soupy, but this place does not. The rice is very good too. It's seasoned rice and it is a bit moist. The sauces are so flavorful. Be careful because the sauce can be quite spicy. , and I think the red cabbage really adds a lot or good texture. The other vegetables like corn are juicy, and the marinated red onions are slightly sweet. These vegetables really bring together the curry to make it a "bowl". I liked the samosas. Has caraway tow flavor seeds. It's filling.I really liked this place and will come back. Best new addition to Dayton.

This new spot is a great addition to Dayton!! Really enjoyed our meal here. This is set up like an Indian Chipotle, with a few extra menu items! To start off, I really liked how they had each ingredient labeled at the windows, so easy to order. So many delicious options to choose from! We ordered the Bhel, which was so tasty, crispy and flavorful. We took it to go, and it didn't get soggy, which is a huge plus. We also ordered a rice bowl with biryani rice + tikka sauce + tandoori chicken and it was very delicious and full of all the right flavors. We also got the spicy red sauce, and it is definitely pretty spicy. If you crave spice, highly recommend loading up on the red sauce. They load up the bowl, so I had 2 meals in packed in one bowl. I cannot wait to come back and try the other food (mostly the vada pav, pani puri and nandillas!) the location is definitely off the beaten path, but highly recommend trying it out!! Really delicious Indian food.

This place was so good! Ever since moving back to Ohio I've been looking for a good Indian restaurant and this place is it!! I had a vegan bowl and it was PERFECT! The staff was very helpful letting me know what items were vegan and how spicy things were. my lunch was delicious and I will definitely be coming back. BEST VEGAN FOOD IN DAYTON!!

Good food, with a creative "twist" on popular "standards," convenient if you're in a rush, reasonably priced, friendly service, and apparently receives the "seal of approval" from the Indian community, but hmmmmm, I think I've come to the conclusion that there's a limit to how far the "chipotle concept" can go for me... It's rare for me to be in this part of town, so I decided to check this place out, and I'm happy I did... It did seem that the whole operation is sort of... disorganized, just a bit. One person takes the orders, taking you through the steps of creating your meal (bowl, in my case). They were not too busy the Monday night I went, but it seemed like the 3-4 people working there were all yelling at each other and going in at least five different directions all at once!! You pick and choose from the MANY tempting ingredients, and there are some great options for the entree and some interesting "street foods/apps" as well. When it came time to pay, I don't think the cashier(s) knew how to make change, because they seemed genuinely STUMPED when I paid in cash, both for my main order and my takeout, and I had to correct them when I got too much change back on my first order and not enough on the second order. I'm no math whiz myself, but they seemed more confused than I was, but we got everything squared away... Their "street food" options are a great deal, btw, and make wonderful lunches next day!!Definitely worth a try, if you're in the area, but I think I personally still prefer the "standard" Indian restaurant experience.

I tried out Twist just a couple months ago and it instantly entered my weekly rotation! I've been getting the BYO rice + curry bowl and I really appreciate the clearly marked vegan options and spice levels. The food is fresh, filled with spices and very satisfying. Spicy means spicy here - don't go for the spicy options if you don't mean it. Mostly a take-out place but I do enjoy sitting in and eating. I make time every week to come here and will not be stopping anytime soon - it's fantastic!
