Nawab Indian Cuisine

Indian

Welcome to Nawab Indian Cuisine. Nawab, the word means a Duke or a Demi King, a man of wealth and influence, needless to say affluent with a lavish lifestyle. Our goal is to provide you with a dining experience that befits a Nawab.Indian Cuisine is a combination of wonderful and subtle flavors. They vary as much a climates and languages of India, and are as exotic as people of India.With about eighteen different languages and sixteen hundred plus dialects, food varies vastly from region to region. Our humble attempt to bring you the most popular dishes from the north western states of India. We have carefully selected dishes from other popular cooking styles or regions of India with a hope you would enjoy them to the fullest. With our most recent menu we have also made an attempt to introduce some contemporary style Indian dishes.On our menu each dish will have its own distinctive flavor and aroma, and most of our dishes can be prepared to your desired level of spice choice. The flavors we offer come from masterful blend of mixing fresh ground spices on our premises, and traditional sauce making techniques. The blending and preparation of spices is an ancient art and is indispensable to Indian cuisine. The result is delightful flavors, those, which cannot be attained by the use of Curry Powder.We do hope you have a wonderful dining experience.

Everything was wonderful! The ONLY complaint I would say that I have is that there were too many waiters. One would ask us if we needed more rice then left to get it while another came to ask if we needed more rice. Things like this happened multiple times because there were too many people trying to serve us.

This was my first time using restaurant.com . The thing that my girlfriend and I were a little shocked by, was the server added 18-20% gratuity to our check without asking. Was he supposed to do this? He would have gotten more money by not doing so. We had a large bill for two people. We both worked years in the restaurant industry as servers, and bartenders in college. We understand that it can be hard work and always tip very well, as long as we have a polite server.So, we really only had $.76 cents in savings. The server would have gotten at least a $25 tip. I left it as is, since he added his own $20 tip. The coupon said only to add gratuity to large parties.The money is not a big deal whatsoever, just the way they handled the gratuity was unprofessional and was the opposite of what the coupon said. I wanted to let him know that he just lost money, but we left it as is. We are both 37 years old and were dressed to impress for a date night. Thanks.

As always, Nawab continues to serve excellent Indian cuisine in a very tasteful atmosphere. As an Indian, this is my preferred Indian food destination in Roanoke. The chicken tikka masala is fantanstic, rich creamy and flavorful with large perfectly prepared pieces of tandoori chicken. Pair this with the garlic naan and you won't be disappointed. The paneer sagwala (creamed pureed spinach) is just as decedent. Service is good, but there can be a longer wait if its busy, like a Friday night. If you are in the roanoke area and craving delicious Indian food, be sure and come here

We went here for my son's graduation dinner. It was great, but with a party of 5 we were automatically charged gratutity for an amount way over what I would normally pay (25%) for that kind of service. I have never left a 25% tip before. The restaurant was good, but I won't be returning because of this.

Nawab is a wonderful Indian restaurant in the Market Square section of Roanoke. The dining area is minimally, but tastefully decorated with photographs from around India. The dishes are wonderful and flavorful. Along with some of the standard Indian dishes like saag paneer and butter chicken, they have a vegetable mango curry and their own take on vegetable pakora. Along with a buffet, Nawab has plenty of choices for your craving for great Indian food
