"This was a great find while visiting our son who was on spring break from OSU. The meals were inspiring and affordable. I had one of the Tortugas and my wife chose the Jean-Claude van Randy Burrito. The meals were spiced nicely and presented many textures from a satisfying crunch to the creamy cashew cheese sauce. The meals were filling and we could have split one meal and have been more than satisfied. Also the ambience presented interesting books for sale with a great space to sit and eat our lunch. The only drawback was our son has a nut allergy which the staff indicated they could not guarantee or rule-out cross-contamination from especially cashew. Unfortunately, we needed to find another option for our son for lunch, but we will return on our next visit."

"Food quality Service Ambiance Value Menu selection Location/Accessibility Overall experience Date visited: 11/11/2023 During a weekend excursion to the vibrant city of Columbus, I seized the opportunity to indulge my palate in the diverse and rich flavors of Indian cuisine at Aab India Restaurant. Accompanied by my dining companion, KK, our culinary escapade unfolded with the promise of an extraordinary dining experience. Arriving just before noon, we found the exterior of Aab India unassuming, a subtle facade that betrayed little of the culinary marvels concealed within. The challenge of parking, however, proved a minor detour on our quest for gastronomic bliss. Having secured a spot in the Big Lot parking lot down the street, we waited outside, eagerly anticipating the moment when the doors would swing open to reveal the warmth and aromatic allure that awaited us. As the clock struck 12, the portal to this culinary haven opened, and we eagerly sought refuge from the brisk autumn air. A gracious staff member ushered us to a neatly arranged table, allowing my companion to peruse the menu while I immersed myself in the restaurant's ambiance. The interior unfolded with systematic organization—tables optimized for space, a bar counter adorned with a curated collection hinting at a storied history, and at the far end, a buffet counter laden with an enticing array of Indian culinary treasures. The decor, an elegant fusion of warmth and antiquity, transported diners to a bygone era. With its antique-inspired ceiling, floor, and furnishings, Aab India exuded an authenticity that promised an immersive dining experience. The warm color palette and tantalizing aroma further heightened the anticipation, especially as I imagined the ambiance taking on a magical allure as daylight gave way to night. Choosing the all-you-can-eat buffet, we joined a queue that mirrored our eagerness to explore the Indian culinary landscape. Labels adorned each tray, providing glimpses into the myriad dishes that awaited us. My plate became a canvas for a symphony of flavors—a scoop of herbal basmati rice, curry that was a departure from the familiar Chicken Tikka Masala, naan bread, fresh vegetables, and a dessert whose uniqueness intrigued my senses. Returning to our table, the first bites were revelations. The curry, a choreography of spices, danced on my palate, and the naan bread, while exemplary on its own, ascended to sublime heights when dipped in the curry. KK, fully immersed in the experience, relished basmati rice, Chicken Tikka, and an assortment of vegetables with evident delight. In the midst of our culinary reverie, an attentive waitress graced our table, ensuring our glasses remained filled. A managerial or culinary presence, keen on enhancing our experience, paid a gracious visit, adding a personal touch to our culinary journey. Our senses satiated and the ambiance savored, we lingered a while before bidding adieu to the burgeoning crowd. Overwhelmed by the newfound popularity, we settled the bill, generously tipping for the delightful fare and attentive service—a mere $16 per person, a paltry sum for the culinary symphony we had indulged in. Overall, Aab India Restaurant emerges as an unparalleled gem in the culinary scene of Columbus. A haven for those seeking not just a meal but a gastronomic journey, it stands as a testament to the alluring wonders of Indian cuisine. As I departed, the promise echoed—an assurance that whenever Columbus beckons, Aab India will be my chosen sanctuary for an encore of extraordinary flavors and warm hospitality."

"Food is okay but don’t like how there’s no prices online so was a little shocked to see when I got there that the big breakfast I ordered was $20. But got my food and the toast had no butter on it. Who gives someone just plain unbuttered toast ?? girl behind the counter had no customer service told her “thank you have a good day” and she just stood there and I had to put my bag of food on the floor since it almost fell off and she didn’t try and help at all. What a great way to start my birthday :"

"we went to the brunch to celebrate a birthday. we had requested a standard table, but we sat on a high peak in a high traffic area. we asked the hostess to be revived and she was very understanding and brought us to a beautiful place on the terrace. the food and drinks were delicious. However, the part forno burger and pommes was much smaller than expected. the mimoses are also very small. the prices were quite reasonable, so we were not too upset about the portions. our server was hailey and she was wonderful. she was attentive and our orders were quickly completed. she also brought out two herds for our birthday party. overall I would recommend forno for brunch. our only big thing was not sitting on the table we had requested on the reservation. the high tables are loud and busy. we have sat there at previous visits and they are really not a pleasant experience."
