I order from Nawab quite a bit but tonights order was exceptional. It arrived really fast, because I don't live particularly close to downtown. It arrived hot and packaged very well. I ADORE these items and actually create a bowl with them! The portion sizes allows for almost three meals for me. Nawab is the best Indian food in Roanoke!

5 stars? No, it's 10 stars. THE BEST Paneer Makhni I've had around here. It is bursting with flavor and so fresh and delicious. The portion is perfect. I love having some for leftovers. The taste is perfection. I will absolutely order again. My husband ate the Samosa's and he's not a huge fan of Indian food but he loved them. No picture of them because he inhaled them. This place has THE BEST Garlic Naan I've ever had from any and all restaurant that serves naan.

First time I've ever having Indian food and it was absolutely delicious. It comes with two samosas per order, which were super good not too spicy and I also got the saagwala lamb which was also amazing! I was definitely nervous at first looking at TikTok videos and what not but they definitely just blew my socks off I will be ordering again!!!!

Nawab has gone way down hill. Their Condiments Raita was disgusting. The spice level we requested was totally ignored. Not to mention the price is exorbitant for what you receive. A few pieces of chiken in the tikka masala and a sad amount of paneer in the saag. Were ordering from taaza from now on

The food was was really good and flavorful however I didn't expect the lamb to have bones. There were more bones than meat. It's not worth the price you pay for such little protein.
