Great service, wonderful variety, good for large-ish groups, I'm happy!! The "BEST" Indian food I've had in the area? Well, hmmmm, I'll need to do more "research" (woohooooo!!) to be sure...Check out their menu ahead of time if you're like me (indecisive, not 100% up on Indian "standards," and ALWAYS hungry!!) I decided to skip the usual dishes this time and go for the veg and non-veg appetizer samplers. Pretty good, no complaints, VERY share-able, but not really enough variety between the two to order both. I was secretly coveting my fellow diners' kormas, vindaloos, and assorted curries, all of which looked WONDERFUL. Will have to make a return visit to try more...!!Come hungry, leave happy... Parking might be tricky, but you'll find something, and it'll be worth it, both for your car AND your belly!! ;-)

Ordered carry out for lunch, time to pick up, walked in lady down the way asked how many I let her know I was picking up and she rolled her eyes at me pointed to the bar then walked behind bar asked my name grabbed a bag, I walked down to where she was so all she had to do was turn around and hand it to me. Instead she turned to the left and set it on the counter away from me then turned her back to me. No here you go, thank you, nothing. I took my bag and left.First time and last time. Haven't even had 1 bite yet

I went to Aab with my mom about a month ago because we were craving Indian food! The parking was kind of tricky. There is a bank nearby that has a sign saying parking is only for the bank and then there is some street parking. We ended up parking in the street. The inside was really nice, it was more fancy than I was dressed for but it wasn't a big deal at all. Our waitress was really nice. When we ordered Samosas she gave us many Chutney options and explained each one to us. They were all good in different ways! For our entrees we got chicken tikka saag which I had never had before. It was good, but I wish I ordered it more spicy. We also got this dish that had a red sauce with fish in it. It was also good! I would go again and try their chicken tikka masala which is usually what I order. Overall it was a great experience!

Solid. You can get the lunch buffet to go weighed by the pound. The standards are all there. The saag paneer is solid. Love the corriander chutney!

Great service! Loved the garlic naan but the curries (chicken curry and chicken makhani) were okay. Felt like the chicken was dry but it was seasoned very well with the sauce. I tried the rice pudding desert and it just wasn't my favorite. Definitely think it's one of the better Indian restaurants in Columbus, but I haven't found a place I really enjoy yet.

The waitstaff is so friendly. The food came out quickly. The restaurant was quiet. And the food is sooo good! The portions are way bigger than they seem and you're definitely getting your moneys worth! I don't know how it doesn't have higher reviews. And on our way out with the box they brought us additional rice!
