Baba India Restaurant — Restaurant in Cincinnati

While this restaurant may just be one of many punjab style north Indian places, the food quality is great and i've been eating Indian food for over 20 years and have eaten at all the Indian restaurants in the 275 loop, even ones that don't exist anymore. Lunch buffet selection is great, quality is very good and consistent and the price fits in well with the area its in and the people that inhabit the area. I wonder if they could make more money by having a dinner buffet certain days of the week? Anyways, the food is made by chefs working for a long time, its good, but the customer service here isn't exceptional but i'm not bothered. Almost every negative experience people have had here are mostly the result of the surrounding community environment in combination with a staff that preserves its integrity. RECOGNIZE THE POWER YOU HAVE AS A CONSUMER. YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHOOSE MOST OF THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES YOU USE. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE FOOD OR SERVICE, DON'T EAT HERE! THERES NO REASON TO LEAVE BAD REVIEWS AND SLANDER FAMILY OWNED BUSINESSES. I've been eating here since 2006, when my girlfriend went to Xavier, and the food has always been great! I LOVE THE FOOD HERE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DINE HERE REGARDLESS OF HOW I AM TREATED.

RATING THE 'SERVICE' HAS A VERY LIMITED QUANTIFIABLE MEASURING SYSTEM, SO FOR MOST INDIVIDUALS TO RATE SERVICE AT RESTAURANTS WOULD BE INVALID AT THE LEAST. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A SUBJECTIVE NON-QUANTIFIABLE FIELD WHICH IS DERIVED FROM PROVIDING CUSTOMERS WITH AN EMOTIONAL RESONANCE TO PROJECT FEELINGS OF SUPERFICIAL JOY, HAPPINESS, FALSE AFFINITY. ENOUGH SAID. I DO NOT LIKE TO EMOTIONALLY MANIPULATE PEOPLE, NOR LIKE TO BE MANIPULATED, DO YOU?............................

So the last word is, this restaurant is a great place to eat indian food, the lunch buffet is great, the menu items are plentiful and quality items, and the customer service is acceptable. If you like indian food, eat here, if all you care about is being treated well, do...

One phrase review - Indians, run away! We ordered chicken Biriyani, chicken Pakora, chicken kurma and panneer Naan. The service was very courteous and prompt but the food was horrible. We left pretty much everything on the table walked out and stopped at a nearby grocery store to pick up dinner. The meat was stale, so stale that we couldn't eat it. Biriyani was some curry mixed with half cooked long onion pieces and rice mixed together, and chicken Pakora was a joke. My 4 yr old said he likes the McDonald's chicken nuggets than this so called pakora. It was a thick rubbery thing covered in batter, yuck! Left the entire thing as it was. I love Biriyani and it is a dish I order at every restaurant for the last 22 years. Sorry to say that this was the worst one I had in a long time I can remember. The first indication should be the Pappadam we got for our 2 yr old. Out of the 3 or so pieces, two were burnt and were black. They didn't even apologize but just dropped another Pappad. We were just angry at the entire experience, I can't remember the last time it was this bad at an Indian restaurant. [edited] When we told the another lady who took the order that the food isn't good, she couldn't care less. She just turned and walked away! This traumatic experience cost us $42, wish I donated it to a charity. The good fall out of this experience was the realization of how good it feels to eat fruits for dinner.

I have not left a review in a long time, but I felt I wanted to give 5 STAR review SERVICE & QUALITY to Baba and the owner/staff. Thanks you all for amazing experience.

My wife and are in the restaurant business, so we know about being attentive on customers and taking great care of them. My wife's been there before. She highly recommended Baba. We were greeted right away with a pleasure smile from a older lady. We got our water right away. Was offered an India drink non-alcohol. It was smooth, I think it was mango drink. Started with appetizer the stuff beef and vegetables appetizer. I can't remember it, but it was delicious. Then onto you main entrees the lamb curry and we ordered the garlic nan. That was AMAZING flavor and very fresh. Eating it together with saffron rice and the curry combination was unbelievable flavors and freshness. We are in gluttony that we also had left overs the next day. The most important part of our meal was how everyone was so helpful on give us a great 5 star experience. We will...
