My recent dining experience at Nawabs Indian Cuisine Restaurant was a delightful journey into the heart of North Indian Punjabi flavors. The food was nothing short of extraordinary, offering an authentic taste of Punjab. From the moment I took my first bite, I knew I was in for a treat. The dishes were bursting with rich spices and flavors, and each bite felt like a culinary adventure. The buttery naan was the perfect accompaniment to the flavorful curries, and the tandoori dishes were cooked to perfection. The restaurant's ambiance added to the overall experience, with warm and welcoming decor that transported me to India. What truly stood out, besides the food, was the attentive and friendly staff. Their recommendations and willingness to cater to our preferences made the evening even more enjoyable. Nawabs Indian Cuisine Restaurant has undoubtedly earned a special place in my heart, and I'll be returning soon to savor more of their delicious offerings. If you're looking for an authentic North Indian Punjabi dining experience, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit!

I had heard about Nawabs but never been to one. This time I went to their Burlington location and totally loved it. Their ambiance, vibe and taste is on point! I tried their biryani, tikkas, manchurian and chilly gobhi. Absolutely on point and the cherry on the cake was the mango lassi. Definitely recommending this place.

Yesterday, on Mother’s Day we had the pleasure of dining at Nawabs, and the flavors of their dishes took me to a whole new culinary level—I found myself yearning for more with every bite. The Guntur Gobi was a standout, perfectly juicy and authentically spicy, pakka Hyderabadi style. The healthy and nutritious Millet Thali was a delightful surprise for just $9.99. The Chicken Nawabs was creamy and flawlessly prepared, Garlic naan so soft. What truly impressed me was their flexibility with spice levels, ensuring every dish was tailored to our preferences. Even my kid enjoyed. The ambiance was breathtaking and luxurious. I highly recommend checking out their special offers for all memorable occasions; just remember to make reservations in advance. With multiple locations and weekend buffets, and fine dining experience, Nawabs has become my favorite destination. I'm already looking forward to my next visit, eager to indulge in the magical flavors of Indian cuisine once again.

We recently tried Nawabs in Burlington, and it was fantastic! We had the Chicken Tikka Biryani, Chilli Fish, Chicken 65, Chicken Tikka Kabab, Creamy Tomato Soup, and Street Side Gobi. Everything was delicious! The biryani was flavorful, the fish was spicy and tangy, and the chicken dishes were cooked perfectly. The tomato soup was rich and creamy, and the gobi was crispy and tasty. The service was friendly and quick. Highly recommend this place!

Truly a Fine Dine Experience! They have definitely created a really amazing aura and ambiance for a rich fine dine experience with good food. It's not just the lights and paintings, they made sure of the great background music/songs and couple of televisions to keep everyone entertained. They also made sure that the kids are entertained through the papermats they used on the table. However, my request would be to change and put fresh papermats for everytime. The bathrooms are super clean and do not smell at all. They also have handicapped accessible washroom as well. It seems they have patio too for summers, would definitely try that next year. The food is a bit on the expensive side due to the ambiance and the fine dine experience. The staff is really great. Very understanding and ready to serve. The food however can improve. We tried chicken Lollipop, Palamuru Biryani, Hakka Noodle and Nawab's special soda. If you haven't tried the Palamuru Biryani before, I would recommend going with regular Dum Biryani. The Nawab's special soda was disappointing and would definitely NOT recommend ordering. Lastly, they gave ample parking spaces as they are part of a plaza.
