The food was incredible! I ordered takeout and the pickup experience was very smooth, they had my food ready at the counter as I walked in. Not incredibly spicy - I ordered max level on a few of my dishes - but everything was super tasty and rich with spices. Portions were large and every dish came with a heaping carton of rice. I definitely plan on returning to try out more of their offerings

Not my style, I didnt fancy the chicken curry like om Indian. But great place and people. Little expensive for a meal the average lunch meal cost is America is just below $10 my was $17 without a drink. But their great people and its worth checking out. Its also nice to support business as we just had a global pandemic. Also the business was very welcoming towards customers.

Great Punjabi food! Employees were so warm and welcoming!

We always have a wonderful experience. The food is excellent and you can bring your own alcohol. The managers/ owners and servers do a fantastic job. They treat you like family. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Our food was very yummy and they had a walk up window to help with social distancing. We received plenty of food for the price and the staff were very nice. They even gave us two small deserts with our meal. Our only complaint was about the naan which was fine but we have had better.

Good ambience but food not all that great atleast by Indian standards. They have a good spread though.

Excellent service. Place is very clean. Food is also so yummy.

The best Indian fare in Cincinnati. Love the extensive menu, fresh food, and easy carryout.

I absolutely love the buffet here! Awesome food. When I approached the restaurant it didnt look like anything special. Inside, I found a nice looking restaurant that was very clean. I was greeted right away by friendly staff. You will see them in one of the pictures. The buffet was awesome. A decent selection with amazing tasting food. The service was above-average. The staff was extremely pleasant to talk to. The buffet will set you back about $10 for lunch. Its a great deal and I recommend this place.

Super small portions, three small pieces of lamb cubes, $17.00! No beer/wine license. Only the one seikh in the kitchen, otherwise theyre all from Nepal!!! Hey, I know, why dont you serve Nepalese cuisine!?

Food was delicious. Well eat there again for sure. Cleanliness and the nats or fruit flies or whatever they were dropped them from 5 stars. I cant give a perfect rating if there are nats and dirty glasses. Perhaps they were just having a rough day. Maybe next time Ill be able to revise the review to 5 stars.

This place was AMAZING! The service was great, the people were very kind, and the food was EXTREMELY DELICIOUS. Everything about this place was great and I would totally recommend you come and eat here! Out of all of the Indian restaurants/buffets/cuisines I’ve been to this has been the overall BEST!

It is just the best. Lovely inside. Food is wonderful. Remember it is BYOB if you want a drink

Good ambience. All the dishes were good. Not spicy at all. Overall a decent restaurant.

Was visiting the Newport Aquarium and wanted food afterwards. We chose this place and it was a great choice! Delicious food and friendly staff! The buffet wasnt open, which is what I was hoping for, but thats okay. Still worth a visit!

Okay Indian food with a more casual setting but expensive prices. On the positive side of things, they will absolutely give you a mild spice level if you ask for it. Dont be afraid to eat here if you dont like spicy things- youll be okay.

Good service but a weird looking and tasting lamb Biriyani. I have definitely tasted better ones but maybe it’s the way it’s done there:

Its ok. Take out Portion size was a bit smaller than my preferred place and had a way more veggies than meat ratio.

Great food and service. Definitely will come back.

Everything was PERFECT this Family is beautiful when they speak on the phone. The family is beautiful how they cook. They have patience to listen are very kind. I have found a new place to have meals with my family second to our home. Thank you for such beautiful food :)) Danita Cobb Sacko :))))))Our first order was this evening.. you are for sure a FIVE STAR RESTAURANT SALAAMS :)

Delicious food...Staff is very cooperativeRecommend to all👍🏻

Primarily a buffet (though single orders are doable), I felt the food lacked flavor compared to other Indian restaurants. The naan was flat and chewy. Some grains of rice were hard and crunchy.The place is small and can get noisy, a testament to its popularity (lots of diners when we visited). The service was great with really attentive wait staff, but overall I think this place is just OK. Likely not a place I’d frequent over other restaurants in the area.

Great variety, good portion sizes on the dinner menu, and super friendly and attentive staff. There are plenty of vegetarian options, as well as chicken, lamb, and seafood. I have placed a few large to go orders in advance for groups of 20+ and everything was ready on time and the orders accurate. I love that the chicken is shredded in the tikka masala instead of huge chunks, it seems like it is more flavorful that way. The various saag dishes are great too. All of the varieties of naan are delicious and fresh; with the paneer naan being my favorite. I have never been disappointed here whether it is dining in or take away. The extra treat at the end of your meal is a nice touch too. Highly recommend if you are in the mood for Indian food!

Great food, great prices, great staff, great tasting, great portions, great location, like everything is perfect. 12/10, best Indian around 💙 will forever go here! also I got my biryani and naan way faster than expected today, it’s all hot and delicious and made exactly how I ordered. and they’re consistently like this!! even when they’re busy. sweetest staff, like. I can’t say this enough. go here!!

Excellent service and food taste very good. Maya and her family is always so wonderful. Especially their welcoming and smile. I think Maya has twin sister who is also very nice. She gave us great experience. We love this restaurant. We been coming here since they took over again. Keep up the good work 👏

Great lunch buffet but its been a few years since Ive been there.

Fantastic food, nice staff members, regularly fantastic character. They charge fair rates and the food quality is excellent. I recommend this place.

This is in my humble opinion the best Indian place in the city. Actually, my favorite restuarant ever ❤Absolutely phenomenal food, so flavorful and always just right. When you eat-in, it is a very nice atmosphere inside with tablecloths, pretty decorations and music and the wait staff is very on point and friendly. We also get takeout a lot and they have never ever gotten any aspect of an order wrong. If I knew I was gonna die tomorrow I would want Dusmesh to be my last meal.

VERY AMERICAN FRIENDLY UNDERSTANDING AND VERY GOOD AT EXPLAINING THE CULTURE & FOOD I ABSOLUTELY LOVE KEEMA SAMOSAS + BROWN SAUCE

Good good! fast service

Service is superb. amazing smiles.food was great and very clean and calm atmosphere.

Food was great and we were able to choose how spicy we wanted the food from 1 to 6. Food was fresh and the waiters attended to us well. Loved the fact that the food is served family style so you can share dishes with who you sre eating with. Ambience was calm, will definitely be coming back.

The food was great. It was my first time, but wont be my last. Fast service!

This is my favorite Indian food in Cincinnati! They cater to vegans as long as you ask for your curry to be made with coconut milk. The staff is extremely friendly too. I always take newcomers to Cincinnati here :)

Excellent service and food is very tasty. Especially, Dal fry just like punjabi style with onion naan and side of chili and onions salad. I love this place. Definitely, will recommend this place. The staff is very friendly, especially 2 sisters. Keep up the good work. Will definitely come back.

Tasty tasty and great selection (and price!) at their buffet. Definitely a favorite for lunch any day of the week.

Very nice food at low price . Its a clean and nice restaurant. Food wasnt spicy at all though.

I absolutely love this place and the workers there!!! Always sweet and food is always good.They even accommodated my guest very well for my husband and I wedding reception we had there last year. Although the pandemic was worrisome, these lovely people took the worry off our mind of having good food and professionalism service!!!I still go to this day and will not stop as long as I live here in Cincy😆🥰❤

This has been one of my fave places since I moved to Cincy! Their spice lvl is not super spicy which is nice for my partner who does a 3. But overall the meat is super fresh and are big/chunky pieces. You get a lot for what you pay for!

I dined in . We ordered chicken tandoori , chicken tikka masala and chicken biryani. It was amazing. Great food and good service.5 thumbs up.

Great service, food was so yummy. Definitely will be back. Very clean.

Great service and food. Will come back again. Dal fry is good with onion kulcha.Chai....amazing.

Great service. Super nice workers. Always so nice to my little girl when I bring her in with me. Ladies are very friendly and sweet.

First time I tried Saag Paneer. It was delicious. I will definitely recommend to a friend.

I like Dusmesh. Great Indian food in Clifton.

Delicious food and Everyone was really friendly.Its a little pricey but everything tasted wonderful.We were happy that theyre open on Christmas day.

Got the entirely wrong order. Spent 50$ and was extremely disappointed after waiting an hour for my delivery. Luckily DoorDash gave me a credit. Check your orders before packaging

We ordered veg and non veg thali. The taste of the curries and vegetables was so bad. We were not able to eat anything. I won’t recommend this restaurant to anyone. So disappointed.

Never knew this place existed and been here for 10 years! Wonderful place Staff Everyone smiles and acknowledges you with Great first time. Will definitely be going back again and again! their food is wonderful.

First time ordering takeout from Dusmesh since Covid. Food was totally tasteless!!! Dishes had no flavor, no spice, and no heat. These were the usual dishes we have been getting for years. The tamarind chutney looked like brown water. Will not be ordering from Dusmesh again. Worst Indian food ever! Had to give it a star to post but food not worthy of even that!

Good food, service was fine and the outdoor dining patio is lovely weather permitting.

Under New ManagementDelish 🎆🎈🎈🎉

It’s worth of wait for the delicious food and great service. I called in order around 6pm busy hour they gave me 25 minutes. That’s Normal. Normally other restaurants give us 45 minutes and they are pretty fast. I got there there was a line of picking up orders and I waited in the line not more than 5 minutes. I was greeted nicely and smile. My food was ready. Food was hot and fresh definitely will go back.

I brought takeout home. The fragrance in the car was divine, and the food tasted even better once home.

Certainly a top place in the area. I will be back with my coworkers. This place has a good feel to it.

Great place with delicious food and excellent service.

Very good food and service ..Maya and her family is very welcoming always. Love always coming here. Always recommend.

Great food and very friendly service

Amazing food. Gave advice about what I should and should t order based on my tastes as well.

I tried chicken tandoori...so delicious. Very moist and same time tenderness and delicious. Definitely come back.

Amazing indian food. Excellent fast and friendly customer service.

Ordered food at work this afternoon. Found what looked like a cockroach or some other bug in my chicken tikka masala... really turned me off to this restaurant. Would definitely not get again.

Best Indian Restaurant in Cincinnati by far. Great food, great flavors, great service.

Woo I get to be the 1000th review. Dusmesh has been a lifesaver during the pandemic, it is one of our go to restaurants when we are tired of cooking. The Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Tikka Saag are delicious. Naan is great and the Samosas are excellent as well. Recently we tried the soup and it was also great. Finally if you want a little something extra get a Mango Lassi and thank me later.

Large portions, delicious food. I got the chicken tikka saag, spice level 4 with naan. The balance of flavor and spice was perfect.

Good food but less quantity

Love Love Love this restaurant. The food is so delicious. We always get carryout and are 100% pleased with the food and service. You should try this restaurant if you havent yet or havent been in awhile! SO GOOD!

I never leave reviews, but I got Dusmesh delivered via Postmates tonight and just had to say how amazing this was! I got the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. The food was piping hot, it was at least 3 large portions’ worth of food, and everything tasted incredible. Will definitely be dining here again!

Don’t ever eat biryani from this place, the worst biryani i ever ate.

My favorite Indian in the city, and that is saying a lot! Really huge naan bread and fresh dishes made to order. Great buffet for lunch as well.

Very little quantity, unnecessarily expensive, the naan was raw, poor service

Yesterday I went to take out. I never had indian food. So they help me order. 2 girls were very nice and helpful. So I got chicken tikka masala spicy 2 and fish saag...with onion bread. They gave complimentary dessert. It was very delicious. I cant believe I never tired it before, now I am definitely coming back here. Great service and excellent food.

Amazing food, a constant favorite when we can afford to get all the extras we love

BYOB. Indian restaurant. I love the atmosphere! Good food! Before Covid we really enjoyed the buffet too!

Amazing service and excellent food. Very clean and friendly people. Keep up.

It was so tasty. i look forward to a return visit. bring your hunger - portions are large. reminds me of a cafe in chicago i loved to visit.

Very good with nice variety.

I just picked up an online order and am writing this AS I eat. This chicken sabaz is SO good and the veggies are fresh. The naan is huge and delicious, the samosas are great. The person working in the pick up window was super pleasant as well. Will be back again!

Consistently good quality on everything. My Go-to is the House Special Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer and Garlic Naan. Whether ordered directly or through Doordash, everything has been great and quick every single time.

Friendly service and clean place, nice to have outdoor seating in this day and age. The food was phenomenal and they even gave us desserts on the house. I will definitely be back.

SubhanAllaah wal Hamdulillaah!!!Very I Love their Saag Chole and the service we get rach time is personable, courteous, and with a smile that you can tell is there even from under the mask😊😀👍

Poor service and food** replying to owner **Well first off stop telling this is NOT INDIA, even back home we respect our waiters and it comes naturally to all decent human beings (unlike you). We never called any names to anyone, so that is untrue again. It was you folks who were singing at the top of your voices from the bar when we were trying to have a peaceful dinner.Looking at your other replies to poor reviews I can honestly judge your literacy and decency. If in fact it was good service we have no reason to tell otherwise.

They will make anything on the menu vegan! I love this place.

Used to have very tasty food I think they have a new cook because now it’s watery and undercooked

This is by far the worst Indian food that I have ever eaten. The kebab was rubbery. The Tandoori chicken was slathered in a ketchup, onion, pepper combo with some canned pineapple thrown in - the vegetarian items were equally bad.

Best Indian food Ive had! The ambience is great, its clean, and the service is wonderfu. They have a great variety and it all was delicious!

Beautiful service . Maya has the Beautiful smile. She always welcome me . Excellent food.

There are much better choices for good Indian food in Clifton. On bottom of my list for quality of food and service

Waitstaff was incredibly friendly, the food was amazing, and the naan is genuinely the best Ive ever had. DEFINITELY give these fine folks a try.

Never ate there but I got changed from there theyre very very nice

First got Dusmesh on DoorDash because I wanted to try something new, now it’s become one of my favorite places!! I have been getting the Chicken Makhani which also comes with rice , the Keema Nan, and a Mango Lassi and honestly haven’t tried anything else yet because it’s so delicious I don’t want to miss out on it lol. I definitely recommend and didn’t know what to expect at first but was shocked at how amazing it was, they also give you large servings that I was able to eat my food for lunch and dinner. Just had it yesterday, and already can’t wait to eat it again!

My bff and I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant tonight. It was my first time dining indoors in over six months. I ordered the Chicken Tikka which included rice and Naan bread. I also had a side of a yogurt based dipping sauce. My friend ordered soup and the Seafood Curry. Both entrees were excellent and the portions were generous. The servers were polite and answered our questions. The staff obviously takes pride in their efforts and rigorously follows social distancing and wear protective masks.I highly recommend this establishment and look forward to more dining experiences there.

It is my worst experience ever in any restaurant. I trusted the ratings and customer reviews but for me it was a disastrous experience. The food was UNHYGIENIC. They literally throw fried BUGS🐞as onions in the food. They add food colors to make it look good. After I called the restaurant to complain about this, the manager started blabbering fake Spanish with punjabi accent. I strongly suggest not to go to such an unhygienic and unethical place.I could have give ZERO STARS if possible!

Super tasty. The service was very helpful and observant.

Great food. Better service than any other Indian restaurant in Clifton. Very welcoming. Place is very neat and clean. Great chicken tandoori..with onion bread..amazing. definitely go back again.

I have them as a love heart in my google maps. What lovely service, people, and food!!

This restaurant is clearly one of the finest restaurants in the region. Whenever I visit this place I am exceedingly glad. They preserve their high standard service and the highest level of meals they give. You always win with this restaurant. Highly recommended.

Great vegan Indian options! Kashmiri naan is delicious as well. Highly recommend this place!

Excellent service. Food taste so fresh. Maya and her team is very friendly. I will definitely go back. Its still BYOB .they dont charge any corking fee. Which is awesome for me. Keep up the good work.

Great food, good prices, and door curbside which works out great
