Nawab - Charleston

I retract my 4 star review. Server told me their naan bread was vegan and I just found out it isn't. Poor knowledge on veganism and clearly lazy.

The waitstaff is very friendly, always ready to compliment you, even if you’re just in a baggy sweatshirt, enjoying your naan. The food is definitely great, but the atmosphere inside is a bit puzzling. I wondered why so many people were passing through but no one was dining in the main area. The dining room seems unsure of its identity; it’s a mix of an upscale restaurant with cloth napkins, elegant table settings, and stunning wine glasses, combined with a casual sports bar vibe. The strong scent of cleaning products lingers in the air, and the carpets are covered in a constellation of stains. If they could remove the televisions and replace the flooring with something more stylish, this place could be truly beautiful. It wouldn’t take much to enhance the ambiance! Also, be aware that they start closing up around 8:45 PM, even though the sign says they’re open. Just smile, enjoy the delightful food, and you’ll have a great experience!

While the food is delightful, the interior is a bit puzzling. I noticed many people opting for takeout rather than dining in, and I can understand why. The dining area seems to struggle with its identity—it features elegant touches like cloth napkins, tablecloths, wine glasses, and chandeliers, yet it also has a sports bar vibe. The smell of cleaning products is quite strong, and the carpet is spotted with numerous stains. If they could replace the TVs and upgrade the floors to tile or wood, this place would really shine! Also, it's worth noting that they usually close at 8:45 PM, even though their sign says they’re open later. Just go in with a smile and enjoy the fantastic food!

The restaurant offers a dedicated vegetarian menu that includes vegan options. I absolutely love the Chana Masala, Baingan Bharta, vegetable pakoras, and vegetable samosas! You can also request Roti without butter. Everything tastes fantastic! There's another location in Huntington, WV.

I’m changing my 4-star rating. The server informed me that the naan bread was vegan, but I didn’t find that to be the case. It seems there's a lack of knowledge about vegan options, and it came across as rather careless.
