I have now dined at this location several times and under different circumstances - for sit-down dining, a birthday buffet, and a catered birthday party that we hosted. On all of these occasions, Awadh delivered above and beyond quality of food and service.
When we last dined in, we ordered a bunch of different dishes - the Mutter Pulao, the Butter Naan, the Chicken Korma, the Vegetable Jalfrezi, the Chicken Hakka Noodles, the Samosa Chaat, and the Mango Lassi. All the dishes were flavorful and just the right level of heat. The portions were also generous.
When we visited for a birthday party where the guests had access to the restaurant's buffet, we were very impressed with the variety of food options. The staff worked extra hard to ensure all the chaffers were refilled as soon as they were empty.
Based on our two experiences above, we hired Awadh to cater for my daughter's birthday party. Archana worked with me on the menu based on our preferences. She was very mindful of our needs and constraints, and her recommendations were a hit with our guests. On the day of the event, the staff from Awadh showed up several minutes ahead of time and went about setting up the food. They worked tirelessly for the next several hours, and we received a lot of compliments from our guests about the quality of service they received from Awadh's staff. The food itself was delicious and tasted like it had just been prepared.
Whether you are dining in, going to a buffet, or using them to cater a large event, I highly...
Read moreToday was our first experience going to Awadh by Chef Anand, and we were so pleased to not only be greeted by Chef, himself (who not only remembered me from seeing me at his first restaurant on Bethel Road, but incredibly, he also remembered what I typically ordered!), but also, we were surprised and so happy to be graced by the presence of Archana, Chef’s wife who, just by chance, happened to be stopping by, and whom we also know from their first restaurant.
We were there for lunch, and the 3 of us shared and thoroughly enjoyed the dishes we ordered, which included chicken biryani, karahi bhindi, garlic naan, and one other dish (which was ordered by our Indian friend so I could not understand the name of that dish).
The high quality, taste, portion size, and presentation of each dish were all up to the very high standards to which we have been accustomed based on our many wonderful experiences at the first Awadh restaurant. The wait staff was very attentive, polite, and helpful. This building, located in Powell, is more “upscale“ in comparison to the first restaurant which, although very clean, comfortable, and inviting, has a different ambience as a result of being located within a strip mall. Finally, we very much liked walking beneath the colorful strands of “flowers” hanging down In front of the entrance.
We very much look forward to our next outing to this newer location, which will undoubtedly be as enjoyable as has always been the case going to either one of Chef Anand’s...
Read moreWe are a large student organisation representing diverse groups on campus and this is the first time we catered from Awadh India.
Our signature event that celebrates cultures from around the world includes representation of the different cuisines native to the cultures/nationalities of students on campus. For representing the Indian subcontinent region of South East Asia, we happened to get in touch with Awadh India.
We had a wonderful experience working with them on the logistics and affordability for students and the different food options. They were also able to work with us to accommodate dietary needs/restrictions.
The owner personally corresponded with us and ensure we had a flawless experience.
With well over 200 people in attendance of the event - the feedback we received from attendees afterwards in regards to the food catered to represent the entire subcontinent was overwhelmingly positive and everyone relished the food (both students from the Indian subcontinents and the larger student community). The flavour was authentic and yet spice levels could be customised to suit everyone’s needs.
We have continued to work with them since for multiple events and festivals (Diwali, Ramadhan, Holi etc) and couldn’t have asked for a better partner to work with to make our events a success and make them memorable to...
