Awadh By Chef Anand

I ordered take out. The online menus were a little difficult to navigate. For example, on one menu I saw Kolkatta chili chicken and another one did not have it listed at all. Also, one menu you can adjust the spice level; however, on another there was no option to. It does not say, but each dish came with white rice. My food was ready to go on time on a Friday night. The restaurant was not busy around 8pm. Everything was packed nicely, double packed actually (first in paper bag and then in plastic), which really helped since the dishes had curry gravy.I ordered from the desi and indoChinese sections. My two favorites of the night were the honey chili eggplant and the goat awadh curry. The honey chili eggplant had no gravy, but it was perfect like that. They really did a great job frying the small pieces and then seasoning them. The goat did not have a smell and the curry sauce was delicious. I aslo enjoyed the chili chicken. This will be my go to place for IndoChinese from now on. I must say though that the prices here are higher than the average Indian restaurant. I don't mind the prices, since there was quality in the food; however, I thought the price of the naan was way too much. It was $6 for garlic naan. Other places usually charge $2 for butter naan and $3 for garlic naan. Overall, the food was great. I wish I got pictures, but we were hungry since we had a late dinner. I hope to try their buffet sometime.

Everything was good. The place was very relaxing and the waiter was perfectly attentive. My daughter had the chicken kadai and I ordered the chicken masala. We always share when possible. Both dishes were delicious. I highly recommend when in the area.

The crappiest attitude I have ever seen at any Indian restaurant. Ask to be seated at a table that is not blocking the walkway and the waiter (or manager) shows an attitude that is beyond my comprehension. I had a similar experience prior at this place and thought of giving this place another chance, but this is it. I only hope they realize. This attitude won't take them too far! I would give them a zero since I walked out but it is what it is.

OMG, THE BUFFET IS SO GOOD ...!!! Our favorite Indian restaurant in Columbus - Awadh - now has 2 locations!The original, smaller location - Bethel Road in Carriage Place Shopping Center - is still wonderful + fantastic, and it's getting busier.Now there's a larger and even nicer Powell location. It's awesome and worth the drive - big, beautiful dining rooms with vaulted ceilings, plenty of parking, a lovely restaurant.Powell offers lunch buffet Friday, Saturday + Sunday 11:30am - 3:00pm. At $20/person, it's worth every penny. There was a large variety of dishes, very impressive - and dosas made-to-order fresh by the chef. (I admit, the dosa - with all of its ghee-buttery goodness, was my favorite dish among many favorite dishes...).Chef Anand Kumar is an exceptional chef. He and his wife Archana are both incredibly nice, and together they've created 2 wonderful, welcoming restaurants serving exceptional Indian food in lovely restaurants with very attentive service.Let me be clear - Awadh (both locations) are our favorite Indian restaurants in Columbus. And the lunch buffet (Fri, Sat, Sun) is incredible - especially if you're not an Indian food connoisseur and want to try a bunch of different, delicious dishes.Go, just go... you'll thank me.VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Fantastic food, relaxing atmosphere, kind and attentive staff...100% recommend!My favorite place to go for Indian food

After my fiancee and I had a special engagement ceremony, we had rented space here to celebrate with our friends and family. Awadh is run by Chef Anand and is located off Sawmill Road. The lunch buffet was excellent. For vegetarians, there were plenty of options. I myself had chole bhatura, shahi paneer, vegetable fried rice, and some Indo-Chinese options. There is also complementary chai. We didn't rely on service too much given the buffet set up, but I really liked the space. It had wooden flooring, high ceilings, booths, and was warm. I think it was probably like an old steakhouse at one point. I would definitely come back here for either lunch or dinner. Of note, Chef Anand is willing to customize the dish based on spice and hotness level preference.

Tried their buffet. Dosa, mutton curry and one veg sabzi was good. Rest of the items in the buffet are average.

The food is always delicious! Their online system had a glitch so my order did not go through, but they quickly took my order and gave me my food. For my trouble, they gave me a free bowl of delicious soup while I waited!
