I love this place. I’m not a vegetarian but if i were, this place sure would make life easy and tasty. The food is just so flavorful and well cooked. Every time i come i get the buffet because I’m impatient and its always really good for trying new things. I’m here now after a meeting doing some research. I’m enjoying the free WiFi as well! I will continue to frequent this restaurant as long as they are open. My favorite foods here are the vegetable and chicken biryanis, the saag paneer, and the garlic naan.

Been to lots of Indian restaurants in the area. This one is my favorite. They operate mostly via a buffet, which is fine since it is so varied. Great vegetarian and meat options, separated by a wide margin so there is no contamination. Food is very fresh. Place is clean and the prices are very fair.

This restaurant is one of the worst indian cuisine places that I have been in the past 2 years. The management tried and failed to make up for their bad service and bad food quality with a large variety of dishes about which they mentioned more than once during our one time experience. The management thinks how to please their american customers and compare them with indians and insult their own country rather than try their level best to provide good or at least edible food. The management is mostly indian which is expected and some of the waiters are not good at english which is not was not a problem for me because I can speak hindi well enough. When I asked a waiter at the buffet if he could refill an empty dish he asked me to eat another dish with an answer–«yeh itna hi hai. Refill nahi karenge»(this is wat is left. We wont refill). When I complained to the person who looked liked their manager he started stereotyping indians and complains that all indians are always fussy about a particular dish even when they have a large variety. Then he gave me a 3 $ dicount for not able to provide that dish and told me «I don’t want to be mad at you and don’t want to make you mad« Bottom line — quality cannot be compensated with variety and bad behavior.

Indian buffets are good for lunch, but at dinner I want a dish prepared especially for me. This place offers buffet all day, but since DLW and I checked it out on a Saturday night, we went for the menu items. It’s a rather big selection, and they will cater to your spice level preferences. That can be tough to gauge for a first-timer. Do they intentionally tone it down for American tastes so that they don’t get complaints, or do they try to keep it authentic, and what exactly is authentic? It’s an existential crisis! We went with a couple of favorites, chicken tikka masala and lamb vindaloo, with garlic naan on the side, The naan was absolutely perfect, the sort of fluffy texture that dreams are made of, with plenty of garlic. We chose 5⁄10 for the spice level on both of the entrees, and that was good for DLW, but I could probably deal with a bit more. Our spice tolerance is probably a bit above average for Americans, so take that as advice when you select your own. The dishes weren’t huge portions, but the thing with Indian curries is the sauce, and both of them were quite good. The vindaloo was tangy and hotter than the tikka masala, as it should be. Both were rather thick, good for sopping up with rice and bread. Service was a little strange. The server spoke English perfectly well, yet had trouble understanding our order. The bartender had to help her out. The owner circulated through the dining room and asked us twice how things were. Most people went for the buffet, which is a good value at either lunch or dinner, and they were pretty busy while we were there. We spent more, but got just what we wanted. If the buffet is anywhere as good as the a la carte, this place will go on our rotation.

I’ve been coming to this place since it opened maybe 10 years ago, then I moved away 3 years ago and I really miss this place. I’m in town and came here again today A+++ it can’t get any better. Best Indian buffet. Period. The food is always good and fresh. It was really busy today and they handled the crowd without a glitch. I’ve also been here(a few years ago) late on a weeknight when it was dead and the food and service is always top notch! Even though it’s been 3 years since I’ve been a regular I still recognized many people working there. That’s a great sign of consistency and quality in my opinion!!! A+++

Best Indian food in Cinci, hands down. Don’t be fooled by places that don’t have meat on their menu. Plenty of vegetarian options here and the meat dishes are very good as well. My wife and I will be back for sure!

I was disappointed. Since my party and I decided not to order from the buffet, we ordered from the menu. It took a little over and hour to finally get our food. During the entirety of our time there, we were ignored by the wait staff and had to resort to waving our arms like those inflatable, arm-flailing tube men you see at car dealerships to get their attention. I order an 8 on their spicy scale and was more like a 2, and the flavor was bland, meh, but I had already waited an hour and didn’t want to wait longer for them to re-make it. During the hour wait, they offered more of the thin chickpea crepes«pudla» half-heartedly to appease us. I will not be returning to this establishment.

Worst food ever! Almost all the dishes are left over. And service is the poorest. People should have a lil bit ethics. Example: they are serving biriyani where 80% rice got dried up and became rubber chips. last but not the least got stomach ache when I reached home

A-OK. I had lunch on a weekday and it was very busy. New Krishna is good for big groups because the buffet is easy and quick to navigate through. The food was satisfying and comparable to typical Indian restaurants.

We got garlic nan — so fluffy and delicious! I don’t think I ever had a nan so fluffy. The lamb piaza(not sure on the spelling) was really good, the lamb is really tender. Their portions are definitely big enough to share for two. The décor in this place is interesting — chandeliers but with diner style booth seating lol. The service is interesting too, we had three different waiters came by doing different things. I think you have to go to the counter to pay, we waited a while to see if they would gave us the bill but finally just got up to go pay.

When there is a crowd up front waiting for the doors open, you know the food is going to be delicious!!! You must do the buffet, it’s such a large selection of food. Now I can’t list what I like to pile on my plate, but it doesn’t really matter, it’s all great. Everything is made super flavorful and fresh. Great place to go if you’re new or introducing someone to Indian food, it’s a great selection of classic food. They have a large dinning area so there is plenty of seating, but go early if you want to beat the crowd on weekdays for lunch. Servers are always refilling water promptly. I’ve never ran out of water dinning here, not sure why I’m pointing that out, but it’s appreciated when I don’t need to look around for a server for more water, I guess it’s the little things in life!

For an indian buffet… this Place is pretty good. Dinner buffets($ 12) have more items than lunch buffets.

I ordered chicken curry(spicy level: 2 out of 10) and regular naan for carry out. Bad: I’m sure the curry was delicious but it was probably at least a 5 so I couldn’t eat it. Far too spicy. I would never ever be able to dine in because they have incense burning which was AWFUL. I could hardly breathe so there’s no way I would be able to eat a meal there. Good: The naan. Also, the buffet looked delicious with lots of variety. I think I’ll drive a little further and continue to go to Raja India on Tylersville. Always a good experience(and no incense!).

New krishna is great for when you want to try new things… but… A buffet that doesn’t have chicken tikka masala is not an Indian buffet at all I did enjoy some of the fresh fried bread on the buffet but everything else was lackluster and I would rather order something made to order then pay for a buffet again

As far as Indian Buffet’s go, it is ok. Nothing spectacular and not terrible either. I would likely give a better review if they offered meat dishes that were not only over cooked white meat chicken. Give us some goat or beef. The vegetarian side wins in this place. the bread is generally overcooked and then chewy. the pakora is generally on the steam table too long to enjoy.

Great buffet(12 – 13 $ for dinner). They have different buffet items every day according to their schedule at the door(didn’t check it yet) from goat to lamb. Choice of Indian craft beer as well.

The food is good, but not great. But what really turns you off is the service. The chicken and lamb dishes had no meat in them and when we told the manager about it, he started arguing and shouting on our faces without even letting us talk. I even heard a waiter talking to another waiter behind our back in abusive language. They insist that if an item is over, you can just order it from a la carte menu! Now, why should I have a buffet if I am going to order from a la carte. Just not worth the rude management to go there

I’m not someone who frequents buffets. However, I pray to be frequently eating at this buffet. Best Indian I’ve had in Cincinnati.

Buffet was good for an Indian buffet. Could use some more heat but overall it was a good experience. Best thing I ate there was the Galub Jaman with Ice Cream on top. If I judged the buffet solely on that they would get 6 stars.

Great lunch buffet! A lot more varieties than a lot of other Indian buffets. Reasonable price and the food is always good!
