HOT ‘N SPICY RESTAURANT & BAR

Seriously one of the best Indian/Nepalese place in Cincy are. Amazing food, great staff. Nothing on the menu is bad.

Reader's Digest Version: This place is a hidden gem and you should not sleep on this. Tucked away in a modest strip mall, this clean and well-maintained spot should be your next date night destination. The staff was very friendly and were happy to provide help in case the customer is new to Indo-Chinese offerings. The menu is only two pages but why complicate a good thing? We started off with a couple samosas. They arrived hot and delicious and a bit on the large side along with mint and tamarind sauces. Exactly what we expected. Perfect. Next, a little Chana Masala with our naan. We asked for them to bring the heat and they did in a respectable way. It didn't melt our faces off but was perfectly noticeable and it paired with the fantastic sauce. I went straight for the Chicken Mo: Mo Johl. Delicious and surprisingly generous dumplings in a savory sauce. My leftovers will not see the dawn. My saffron rice was light and tasty. The Tandoori Chicken was equally as stunning. Knocked it ou

This is a great experience due to the service. The restaurant was just starting to get busy as we came in. There were only two people working and they still provided great service, as an ex server I can see when the staff is busy and still makes the effort to be attentive. Both staff members were incredibly kind and answered all of our questions. It was only my second time eating Indian food and I had LOTS of questions and definitely was a deer in headlight lol. They were so incredibly kind about it. The lamb curry didn’t have a lot of meat and did have bones (this was not on the description) I really don’t care for bones in my food, but my husband doesn’t really mind and I just swapped with him. The other two entrees were great and have plenty of meat. The food was great and the atmosphere was calming. I would eat there again and would recommend it to anyone.
