Doaba Indian Restaurant

By far the absolute best Indian food I’ve ever had. The quality, the flavor, everything was perfect. Also, the staff were lovely and extremely helpful to give us recommendations on what to order.

Choose this place for buffet today, gosh! What a great experience I had today. Buffet had plenty varieties of the food, for a pretty decent price, I can give an extra 100 stars for the chicken tikka masala, paneer tikka masala, chai tea and naan. Service was top-notch. Must appreciate the pretty lady “Bobby” for hospitality . It was a lovely experience

This is my absolute favorite Indian restaurant, period. At this point, I don’t even entertain other places because I know I will be disappointed. The family who runs the restaurant is friendly, the service is always quick. Their food has such rich flavors and spices, I am never disappointed. I used to think Aab was the best Indian around Columbus until I ate here. Let’s just say I won’t be returning to Aab anytime soon.

Great carry out Indian dinner. We had three entrees that were ready when we requested them, were spiced how we expected (mild for the kids, medium and hot for my wife and I), and the portions were enough to have lunch tomorrow. This is more convenient than Amul since we moved and while the dishes are a little different, they are just as good. Will be ordering again.

The flavors are stellar and spices give you a feeling of comfort. We went when they had the weekend buffet which had a good amount of options. The spice level was low-medium. We would recommend and visit again.

When you first walk through the door it smells delicious! I had the Chicken Makhani and can't wait to go back for more. Very good meal. They also have a lunch buffet but they did not offer the Makhani on the buffet, but a great option to try other dishes. I recommend going here for your next lunch or dinner!

I'm so grateful I found this place because their food is amazing. I've never been disappointed with anything I've tried from here. The staff are very kind and professional. Highly recommend the lentil soup if you're sick..

I’m a regular and am never disappointed. I’ve tried several entrees and the spices in them are always phenomenal. The buffet is a fun option. Carry out is a great option for on the go. The service is friendly and prompt. What a great restaurant to have in Powell!

Update January '23: ordered out using doordash and it's worth noting how well indian food travels. The naan gets a little moist, but I still wish I had ordered more of it. The only minor disappointment was the biryani (out of 5 entrées). Still a 5 star option in my book.

Unless your crowd is starving, each entree will easily feed two adults.

Original review:
I tried this with my parents on a whim and I'm impressed. They read the table correctly and served mild spice levels, though I would ask for a but more if on my own. Chicken Tikka masala, lamb saag, and bhangan bharta were all delicious. Portions are huge, we took home more than half of dinner. I'd love to come back. Come check it out-not busy on a Saturday night.

The best authentic north Indian food near Polaris/ Powell.
We tried the buffet option. We loved it a lot. There are many options in vegetarian food. Paneer butter masala, chole, dal makhani and Alu gobi were very good.
Best was, the veg and non-veg food were placed separately for buffet.

"Awesome atmosphere and service. My wife and I visited this afternoon for buffet, and we liked it. We will definitely come back!" - plenty of vegetarian options.

best india buffet so far. everything’s good, it’s clean, lots of options. will be back next week!

I went for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon, no one else there (another couple came in shortly after) but the food was absolutely fantastic. I got a vegetarian dish (Malai Kofta) and onion Naan. The naan was the best naan I have ever had. The dish plus naan would be enough for 2 people. Nice couple (I assume?) overseeing the place as well

You have to come for the weekend buffet. Hands down the best food in the Columbus area. Great variety, unbelievable taste, just consistently fantastic experience. Very clean restaurant. Friendly staff. This is our favorite Sunday lunch spot!!

The absolute nicest people!!
This is our go to place to grab take out. The mushroom saag and lamb vindaloo are my go to favorites. My hubby loves the chicken saag and my kiddo gets the paneer tikka masala. Oh, and don’t forget the garlic naan. The portions are huge!! I always have enough left over for lunch the next day

The food is perfect, the owners are so sweet and attentive. We drive from Toledo and are never disappointed! Buffet on weekends are the best.

Everything we’ve tried, Malai Kofta, naan, chicken tikka masala, vegetable samosas, and tandoori shrimp and chicken, has been delicious! The restaurant is clean and the staff are so nice.

I ate here with my husband after Zoombezi bay trip and loved every bit of it! Food was very tasty and wait wasn't fast and the waitress was very pleasant plus offered us a free specialty tea that I also tried and loved for the first time. The restaurant is very clean, spacious and offer indoor and outdoor seating. Next time we are going for the buffet during those hours. Thank you

My girlfriend and I ate here last night for dinner and let me tell you EVERYTHING was Quality! This is definitely my new favorite place to eat!!! The service was top notch and super friendly, the food was piping hot and so delicious. By far the best Indian food I’ve had in over 20 years.

Great food. We came for the weekend lunch buffet. It’s a smaller buffet but everything we wanted was there. Naan is brought fresh to each table. We tried the chicken tikka masalaa, paneer tikka masalaa, yellow del tadka, goat curry, and mango pudding and everything was delicious. We will definitely be back.
