Good Indian Food, but do yourself a favor and walk next door for some great Indian food.
Ambar FTW!

Sooooooo much better than Amber. Better curry flavor s & better service. Always a great treat before a movie at the Esquire.
I have to disagree with Dan J. about Indian being in short supply in Cincinnati after living in other cities. There are three Indian restaurants (that are all great!) right across the street from each other here! I long for those options now that I am in Columbus.
Amol has a great lunch buffet with many options, both vegetarian and meat entrees. I have also eaten dinner here a million times independent of the buffet, Saag Paneer and plain Naan all the way, and it is delicious. The service is polite and they do not hesitate to refill your water glass 400 times which I LOVE, because any time I eat anything spicy I need to drink about 400 waters.
Many people are Ambar fans, but I am loyal to Amol. The prices are better, the atmosphere is more laid back to me, and I started out on the Amol lunch buffet and can't go back now. I miss it and am sure to go here every time I am in Cincinnati. I miss you Amol !
i lived in Cincinnati for 10 years before moving to San Francisco in 2001, and Amol is a MUST visit for me when i am in Cincy!
For one thing, i travel both nationally and internationally and for some reason "Gajar Mattar" or "carrot and pea" is ONLY found at this Indian restaurant! I know because when i try to order "Gajar Mattar" at any other Indian restaurant, they look at me as if i ordered their grandma's head on a plate. Unfortunately for me, Gajar Mattar is absolutely my favorite!!
In addition, they make a great, Chicken Tikka Masala, which is also a staple. You MUST get this to dunk your garlic naan into!
I know Cincy is very divided as to which is the better Indian place (Amol versus Ambar) as much as they are divided as to which side of town is better (EAST side all the way!).
Amol, i heart you. I heart you alot.
Amol is great. They offer an excellent lunch buffet that has some of the best Indian tomato soup in the city. The naan is fresh and the samosa's are delicious. Indian is in short supply in Cincinnati, so it's nice to see a place like Amol offer good fare for a fair price.
Amol is truly the best Indian restaurant in Cincinnati and quite a value too! Ask any Cincinnatian what they're favorite Indian restaurant is and they'll say either Ambar or Amol. Coincidentally, the restaurants are literally right next door to each other. Both places are great, but Amol gets the win because it's less crowded and a little bit cheaper. Their buffet is perfect for a business lunch.
Used to really enjoy their buffet. Buffet food was never exceptional but was good enough for the money. However, Amol has steadily continued to raise their prices over the years to the point where it's ridiculous to pay that much for low quality, basic buffet food. If you're looking for an excellent buffet at a good value, try New Krishna's in Sharonville. Quality & selection are much better. Weekend buffets have even more variety.
Seriously. I have lived in Cincinnati forever, and I've been to every Indian place. Amol is by far the best. It sounds odd, but I think it's better than places I've had in London, too. Pretty standard dishes like korma and mater paneer. The samosas are the nice big pyramid-shaped ones. It all tastes great. There are now three(!) Indian places on the block, so be sure to choose this one. Also, the Sunday buffet is choice.
In Cincinnati the second most debated food establishment of choice behind Goldstar or Skyline is Amol or Ambar. If I have to choose I'm always going to go wtih Amol. Not only have they put up with six years of my friends and I coming in Sunday afternoon; varying degrees of hung-over and in general disarray but they have always had a warm buffet full of Indian comfort food. My only problem and why I'm leaving off one star is the samosa issue. For a while you could get as many samosas that you could stuff in your little cheeks but then they began tapering off and if you showed up after one you were out of luck, then... the samosas were gone all together. I'm not sure if they have returned but taking away samosas from a buffet is a crime. Now that I'm moving on to San Francisco I'm sure when I come back I'll have to go Sunday afternoon to get my fill and samosas or not, it will still be wonderful.
This place is amazing. Since I left Cincinnati I have searched for an Indian restaurant that could compare to Amol. It is one of the few places that I would go by myself on a regular basis. Everybody loves Ambar, but I just can't get into it as much as Amol. . . plus Amol has easier parking. The Aloo Chana is beyond incredible.
I am an Amol girl!! Their chicken saag and garlic naan are the best!
i hads some crap meals here but for the most part it rocks. best service ever and they know my order. awesome and mouth watering
