  Never disappoints!!! Everyone in there treats me and my friends like welcome guests. This questionnaire does dot give enough options. There are many delicious dishes not listed that we almost always order.

  An absolutely wonderful vegetarian dining experience in Roanoke! We visited Nawab Restaurant as a vegetarian family during our short trip to Roanoke, and honestly, the experience was much more memorable than we expected. The food was absolutely amazing, and the service was impeccable. We were all quite hungry and had limited time, but the entire team went out of their way to make sure everything was served quickly and in a very warm, family-style manner. Everything we ordered was delicious, flavorful, and satisfying. What really touched us was that they even brought us a container for our leftover food without us having to ask. That little gesture turned out to be a blessing! The next morning, we were able to enjoy some of those flavorful leftovers for breakfast, which was especially comforting for us as a family from India. That small act of hospitality became a surprisingly meaningful part of our trip and created a wonderful memory for all of us. A special mention to Manager Hemant, who was extremely personable. He took the time to come to our table, interact with us, ask where we were visiting from, and genuinely make us feel welcome. That personal connection really stood out. Our server Amar was also excellent. He was attentive, friendly, and provided remarkably fast service, especially considering that we were on a tight schedule. Overall, Nawab gave us much more than just a good meal — it gave us a feeling of warmth, hospitality, and being welcomed like family. These are the kinds of experiences that stay with you long after the meal is over. We will definitely come back to Nawab Restaurant again whenever we’re in the Roanoke area. Highly recommended, especially for anyone looking for delicious vegetarian food and genuinely caring service. Thank you, Hemant, Amar, and the entire Nawab team for making our short Roanoke trip even more special! 🙏🇮🇳❤️

  I did not have a pleasant experience at Nawab Indian Cuisine in terms of service, food quality, quantity, and billing. A male employee who appeared to be approximately 45–55 years old repeatedly visited our table. He tried to talk about regional food and taste, seemingly to make it appear as though he was providing good customer service. However, his behavior did not feel welcoming or professional. He approached us every four or five minutes, interrupted us with unnecessary conversations, and kept staring at us until we left. Two other men at the front desk were also staring at us, which made it very uncomfortable for us to sit and eat there. basically all the 3. employees at the front desk. The food quality was also disappointing. The curry tasted as though chilli powder had simply been sprinkled on top. We ordered a non-vegetarian chicken Tikka curry and a Goat biryani. The curry contained only four or five small chicken pieces, while the biryani did not even fill the bowl - it was only about half full, despite costing more than $20. When we told the same employee about the small portion, he only said, “I’ll take this as feedback and let the chef know.” That was all - there was no effort to address the issue/ without offering any meaningful resolution.. When it was time to pay, the employee added a 25% tip himself and asked us to pay the total. We were not given the opportunity to choose how much we wanted to tip. Finally, when we were about to leave and requested an extra container to pack the remaining curry separately, he questioned why we needed another box. The employee who appeared to be around 45–55 years old made us extremely uncomfortable through his unnecessary conversations, constant unnecessary check-ins, interruptions, staring, questioning, and the way he handled the tip. Acting attentive DOES NOT equal good customer service when customers’ boundaries are not respected. I strongly suggest that management identify this employee and give him a serious tight warning or proper training regarding customer boundaries, respectful service, and tipping practices. Its not worth to hire these kind of people, the restaurent will lose its basic minimum respect/ value they have. Employees should never add or demand tips according to their own wishes without clearly informing customers and allowing them to decide. I also suggest that people order from Nawab Indian Cuisine and judge the food quality and quantity for themselves. I believe many customers would be extremely disappointed and ask, scream for refunds.
