Brij Mohan Indian Sweets & Restaurant

Best Indian Food in USA (equal to NJ/​NY area).
We were 4 families and tasted a variety of dishes. All top class. We will recommend this place any day. Don’t forget to get fresh sweets.

Taste is good, but little expensive. I think in their paneer dishes, they will give just 4 – 5 cubes of paneer that costs around $ 10. They have their own customer base because their taste is good and probably the first veggie indian restaurant around Cincinnati. I would prefer Udupi café over Brijmohan as they have quantity more, similar price with good quality. Its almost 6 months since i stopped going there and going to Udupi.
For price only i give 3*, otherwise for taste they deserve 4*.

Tl;dr order and pay before sitting down. Spicy scale 1 – 6 all the food is delectable!

Now onto the review: WOW THIS PLACE IS AMAZING.
You should know there are 2 main types of Indian cuisine. Northern and southern. Brij is northern, and what we see most of the time, saucy curries, flatbreads, and rice. Southern Indian cuisine is something I’ll educate you about on my future review of Udupi café (dosas, thalis, iddlis oh my!).
About 80% of patrons were Indian, and the workers did not speak English without heavy accent, so I knew authentic was the name of the game here!
Also it is 100% vegetarian, if not vegan. India has a large vegetarian population, and I can see why most patrons would only trust a restaurant like this to provide completely animal free food.
But don’t let the vegetarian thing scare you! This food is not health food. It also isn’t any less flavorful or filling than a steak dinner! It was simply delicious.
On a Thursday night, in the middle of nowhere of sharonville, this place was pretty hoppin!
And for everything being served on paper plates the interior is much nicer than you’d expect! Full booths and nice chairs!
You order at the counter first, pay, and then sit down and wait for your food to arrive at your table.
We decided on the dahi poori (at other restaurants spelled puri) to start. I didn’t expect this dish to be cold, but it was delicious:
Dahi= yogurt and poori=fried cracker shell
6 little shells were filled with cold potato, masala spice, raisins, and then doused in 3 sauces, yogurt (dahi), mint, and tamarind. The dish was gorgeous and SO flavorful!
Next course: choley bhaturi
Choley= chickpeas bhaturi= fry bread
The hot chickpeas and curry sauce were so filling and flavorful! I loved tearing off pieces of steaming fry bread and forming little chickpea pockets out of them! The curry flavor was so rich I even used dahi sauce from our appetizer to cool it down and sweeten it a bit!
Next dish: aloo saag
Aloo= potato saag=spinach
Rich curry flavor as well and so good! The rice on the side was fragrant and yummy.
Malai Kofta: A rich buttery sauce with floating veggie dumplings (the kofta). YUM YUM
Garlic Naan: not too garlic-​y and perfectly cooked.
Samosa Chaat: So Chaat just means snack. The samosa are all hot and deepfried hot pocket like entities that contain potato and peas. This samosa chaat is a semi smooshed samosa topped with tomatoes, mint chutney, and chickpeas with sauce. It was good! I also got it to go, so it might of been more soggy than if I got it dining in. The clerk told me that all Dahi Chaat (snacks with yogurt) are served cold, including the special chaat!
Dessert: was my least favorite even though this is brij’s specialty! There’s still room to grow! I’ve just never eaten Indian dessert before. The cakes are doused in syrup (not to my liking) and most have fresh cheese (also not my cup of tea).
I’ve tried the rasmalai– spongey cottage cheese served in a cold soup of sweetened cardamom flavored milk. The peda has, you guessed it, cheese, mixed with sugar and cardamom again. I wasn’t a huge fan of either. I’ll be looking forward to cakes next!

Great Indian food at great prices! Just got their lunch deal for $ 6 and it was excellent! If you’re looking for a vegetarian only place. This is it!

This is an excellent restaurant. The food is good and price is competitive. The only complaint is that food is served in foam plates and paper bowls. And they do not have option for being served in steel plates. I just do not recommend eating in paper utensils, they are coated with dangerous chemicals and absolutely not good for your health. Will recommend.
