I will never go back there after today. It was a horrible experience!!! I feel so embarrassed and insulted.... We went for a after graduation party with our guests (12people). I called to make sure that theyll hold the lunch buffet time for us. But when we reached a guy (waiter) treated us very badly. He was literally shouting at us, bcoz were five minutes late. He was so rude, that he threatened us saying "hurry up! Take ur food!! Otherwise we will close it and u have to pay the dinner rate. Where is other people? I will not let them have the buffet, they have to order lunch!" I just felt so insulted as a host to the lunch gathering that, I wanted to walk out... but as some of my guests had to leave early, so there was no other option! I talked with the manager and asked to be nice to my guesys, but that male waiter was still so rude.. 4 of us had to order dinner.. we were fine with ordering dinner.. as we were late.. but then the manager let us have the buffet. So we started, as we began eating, that rude guy stopped the buffet and put the left over in our table.. This is a shame how they treat their customers!! I will never ever go back there... and I suggest you all.. try to avoid Ajanta it would be best not to go there.. if theres other options available!

Love indian food,out of the other indian restaurants I have been to this one is the worst. First they brought us the wrong order, had to argue with the owner, who kept trying to convince us to take the wrong order. Finally got our order right. The chicken smelled old, the lamb was tough to chew,,,and there were roaches crawling on my feet,,,screamed and argued with the manager again...lost appetite and left in a hurry. Went to Amar India to satisfy my taste. My friends always told me "if you find a place that gives great service and has great food...stick with it". Never want to see that rude owner and waiter at Ajanta restaurant again.

By far the best Indian restaurant in the United States. The food here hit every single spot. Ive been living here for almost 6 years (only 1.5 years in Dayton), and I have not had Indian food thats even comparable elsewhere. The vegetarian samosas are SOOO flavorful!! The nan didnt just get crispy and stale in 2 minutes (or even an hour), meaning it wasnt microwaved. The veggie Korma was spotless (and I usually am not satisfied until I get the chicken Korma). And the dessert...I usually do not like Gulab Jamun because theyre too sweet, but this was perfect. And the Ras Malai was AMAZING! I now have a favorite restaurant in Dayton!!!

I went there after hearing that the food was really good. Usually I go to other Indian establishments in Dayton but I thought Id give it a try. The food was very good but the service and ambiance was horrible. The staff was most unfriendly and started at the people eating with what can only be described as contempt. There was no music playing so all one heard was other people conversations and the sounds of eating. The staff kept messing with the lights so the light level kept going up and down. One group of customers came in and had to ask the staff if they were still serving. Im not going back there after this experience.

I have been here on one of my friends suggestion..Food was good there is no regret in that. Ambience was awesome..!! Maintenance was clean and tidy. If there is one reason that stops me from coming back here it is the observant and rude staff. They dont treat customers in a polite way despite of that they keep watching us and literally they are ready to pull your plate from you in case you take a small pause from eating, assuming that you are done with eating. That made me and my friends to pack all the food we ordered and got it home to have. That would be better if you make improvisation in greeting people.

Well.. We were not that lucky.. We went anjanta with friends and family after 9 pm. They served food around 9:45 pm. We were 10 people including kids. We were shocked when they told us to leave around 10:20 pm because they close the restaurant at 10 pm. We have to pack our food, come home and eat. It was bad saturday nigh for all of us. Food was ok though but staff is very rude and horrible horrible service.. I cant believe you tell your customer to leave. If you want people to finish dinner by 10 pm stop taking after 9 pm. If you are planning for dinner after 9 pm, think twice..

Tonight my husband and I ordered chicken tikka masala to go and found the food to be very agreeable and a good price at $11 or so a plate. It was as spicy as we asked it to be, flavorful, fresh, and the chicken was cooked just right. Very similar to Indian food I ate when living in New Jersey and New York. Contrary to other reviews here the staff was pleasant on the phone and at the counter. Enough naan and rice too. I will be sure to edit my review should a dine-in experience yield different results, but so far so good!

Ajanta is my "goto" Indian Restaurant. The food is delicious, if you go at lunch time you can get the 7.99 Buffet which is amazing, everything is fresh and new on the Buffet, you can tell it hasnt been sitting long as the food is so good everyone is going back for more and more. If you grab a City Paper on your way in for dinner you can get a coupon, or donate to WYSO and get the WYSO member card!, and get $$ off :D its so good though you will not mind paying for what you get either :)

This place is fantastic. Im not sure what the other reviews are talking about. Every time weve been there (tons of times) the staff couldnt have been more helpful and nice. My daughter absolutely loves them because they talk and laugh with her. The food is delicious. We LOVE it there. They may need to remodel a little bit, but its super clean and works for us. I would rather support them, a small business, than a newly remodeled chain restaurant.

It was my go-to Indian. The staff is usually friendly enough and the tiki masala is great. However, they have roaches. A half smashed one left the kitchen and followed me into the bathroom. They know about it but havent addressed it and have a history of poor cleanliness. Its a shame as I would like to go back but refuse to eat if they have a pest problem but wont remedy it. Amar is good but their tiki is not as good. Im in a conundrum.

I have never had a problem at this place.... The food is always fresh!!!! the staff is super nice as a matter of fact i love this place so much my child, mother and i eat here almost three times a week. Also, i think some people think that the staff is being rude, when in actuallity their english isnt up to pare and it comes off as if their being rude when really not. Not mention 9 times out of 10 its the customer(s) thats rude...
