While I was too busy to post photos of our meal, this restaurant is LOVELY!! The servers are just great, respectful, and kind. You can tell they are from higher service backgrounds also. The food is terrific, the portions are NORMAL. Imagine not getting too much or too little food, for the price?!?! Great flavoring, and I believe it is all fresh-I could be wrong. Atmosphere is good. I'm not certain what it should be, for a traditional Indian restaurant, but it is a lovely vibe here. Great food, will definitely return. Thank you!
Wife and I decided to stop here for date night and the food was out of this world! The only issue we had was not ordering the whole menu! I got the lamb curry (10/10!) and my wife got the chicken tikka masala and she loved it! The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was very clean. We will most definitely be back!
I have eaten Indian food all around this country. Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati is fortunate to have this representation of India’s finest cuisine. I cannot say enough about how fresh the food is. The chicken curry is out of this world and their sauce is thick and creamy which is just how I like it. The servers are always pleasant and gives excellent service. The restaurant is incredibly clean and roomy enough to relax with friends without feeling rushed or hurried. It’s quickly become one of my favorites to meet for luncheons with my friends. And I love I get to introduce this place to them. #ladieswholunch
Jot India is hands down the best Indian restaurant around. I’ve been going to the Newport and Florence locations for almost 3 years very regularly. The service is fantastic! The people there want you to enjoy your food and your experience.Their recommendations are great and they will answer any questions you have if you are new to Indian food. The atmosphere is great and the restaurant is very clean. Now to the food ! The food is some of the best Indian food I have ever eaten and I am half Indian and have grown up eating this food, so I know what I’m talking about lol(don’t tell my family ).I haven’t had a bad dish yet, I regularly order Keema Samosa Chat, Aloo Choley,Aloo Vindaloo, and of course Garlic naan. Every thing is always hot and fresh and delicious. From chicken to vegetarian option everything I’ve eaten has been delicious. Do your self a favor and go to this restaurant!! Also the owner is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.
We feel incredibly lucky to have this amazing Indian restaurant right here in Newport, Kentucky. It’s a family-owned gem, and truly the real deal. As someone who travels often and has eaten at Indian restaurants all over the world, I can honestly say their food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Some of our favorites are the lentil soup, the saag paneer, the chickpeas with potatoes, and of course, the chicken tikka masala. For drinks, the mango lassi is a must—refreshing and perfect with the meal. In many ways, it feels like a “health food”restaurant because the ingredients are so fresh and nourishing. Beyond the food, the people who run it are just wonderful—always welcoming, smiling, and happy to help, whether you’re dining in or taking out. I can’t recommend this place enough.
Server was quick and nice, the person behind the counter (perhaps the manager?) was super friendly and interactive! ✔️ Food was good, not that much portion of food but it was surprisingly soo filling! Recommend the curry with around 5+ spice level
We were 4 people and ordered a veg thaali, chicken tikka masaala, rogan josh, chicken biryani, garlic naan and ras malai. Chicken biryani could be improved but rest everything was outstanding! Full of flavors and good portion for lunch size. We thoroughly enjoyed everything.
