Ajanta India Restaurant

Wow!!! We have a favorite Indian Restaurant in Columbus and are always hesitant to try other restaurants for fear they won't measure up. Ajanta measured up wonderfully. Although the lunch buffet is a thing of the past, the four items we had were delicious and made to order. Hubby said that the paneer dish he had was best ever. Soda pop is by the can. Plenty served for a big eater and/or leftovers. We'll be back!

That was some great food! My wife and I shared the lamb and shrimp in curry with some nan bread. So much flavor and the waiters we're freindly and attentive. They also brought my wife a free desert for Valentine's day. It was a kind of honey sauce dipped fried thing. And that was fantastic too. The honey syrup sauce flowed into your mouth when you took a bite. I can't wait to return to try something new. Highly recommend.

Always enjoy Ajanta. A great spot for authentic, flavorful food. I’ve dined in, DoorDashed, and ordered directly from the restaurant - all fantastic experiences. In the photo below is the Special Thal - a mixture of curries, naan, rice, and Kheer The lamb was flavorful and juicy. Spice scale is 0-6; I could go for more than 6. Overall, my favorite Indian spot in Dayton! I would recommend branching out from Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Mahkani - Indian cuisine has so much more to offer! Ajanta: please bring back the lunch buffet when able!

So. I LOVE this restaurant! I love the food and the service and overall experience! My husband and I dinned in about a week ago and we loved it! Unfortunately we had to leave early because I was still recovering from a cold in which I thought I was fully recovered. I thought I was ready for spicy again but I started coughing and could not stop. The staff was so understanding and friendly with me and helped us make our dine in food to go ( I asked them since I felt so embarrassed). We went again a couple days later and it is awesome! The food is delicious! Both the servers I had were great as well! If I could give 10 stars I would!

Great service. The hostess/server provided so much great information regarding the different dishes provided and spice level. He was such a nice guy. I ordered the Chicken tikka masa which was recommended and I’m pleased with the choice . The dish provided so much flavor I asked for a spice level of 3 and it was perfect,I tried a assortment of appetizers which helped me decide what I liked and didn’t like for my next dining experience here. This is such a great restaurant

I've never had a poor experience with the quality of their food, it's consistent and great! However, this review speaks more for their timeliness with take-out orders. The last few orders I have placed that were schedule-ahead orders (hours in advance) have come out 10-15 late. I respect that the food is still hot when I get home, but sitting around watching others eat thinking "this could be me" is torture!
