This place is an underrated gem in Toledo. Fantastic food and down to earth staff. Vegetarian options are available.

Stopped for the $12 buffet, nice selection of Tandoor chicken and curry plus Chana masala and dal. Rice ok, spice ok. Friendly fast service and looks like they paid attention to decorations in what was probably once a diner, so the booths are comfy. Desserts very good.

My family and I love this place. The food is delicious and homemade! They have great options for an array of dietary needs including vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, and halal which is perfect for my crew. The family is always kind and willing to offer suggestions about new dishes to try or what someone could start out with if they've never tried Indian cuisine before. They also have great homemade dessert options also accommodating to dietary needs. Definitely a must try! More...

I was EXTREMELY disappointed in their lunch buffet. About 8 different options on the buffet most of which were vegetarian which i am not. The best thing about the situation was the naan bread. Ill give it a 4 star review for the sake of vegans and vegetarians who dont have many options in the city but this is definetly one of them More...

You can't go wrong with the chicken tikka masala! I was randomly craving Indian food and they did not disappoint! It was a little out of my way out worth the drive!

The best Indian food in Toledo!  My son and I have been exploring Indian restaurants over the past few months and this one, by far, is the ultimate favorite.  Get the Garlic naan bread!

The food is simply amazing and so many vegetarian options. The staff are so friendly and attentive to their customers. I also love that I can order off the menu during the lunch hour. The vegetable samosa are the best I've had in years. I'll be back for sure. More...

Love love love! If you haven't eaten here yet do it today! The best food! The brand new lunch buffet is the way to go. You can sample a few different types of foods and desserts.

I think this is the best Indian restaurant I've ever been too. The food is delicious (my favorite is the malai kofta). The interior is BEAUTIFUL: quirky and tasteful, Indian and American, vintage and modern. The staff is warm, the atmosphere homey  TOTALLY CHEERFUL.  It makes me feel like I'm dining in Indian Anne Tyler novel. Better than any Indian we have in Cincinnati. More...

We enjoyed a celebratory double birthday in Toledo, Ohio. Through the years we have had several terrific meals at Star of India. The restaurant is well designed. Our service was five star. The meal started with a crisp salad, a stack of crisp papadum with a small dish of tamarind sauce and another of onion relish. Our chicken tandoor was moist  and perfectly seasoned,  the vegetable curry had just the right spiciness and the saag paneer created a good balance of flavors along with the perfectly prepared rice. The naan was right up there on the five star scale. I don't know what the bill was as we were guests. There was left over food to take home. More...

AMAZING Indian Restaurant in the town!!!!!!!    So my friend and I were in town for the night and we found this place in Yelp and decided to go. First thing you notice is that its a family business and entire family takes a pride in what they do. Our server were Seema and Jesse. The went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed.    Seema recommended Salmon Garlic Masala ( which is not in the menu)  and I must say it was delicious. We also ordered Mix platter Chicken Tikka Masala and for dessert Seema  recommended golden Oreo Cheesecake and everything was simply amazing and fresh specially the Nan. Their prices were amazing for quantity and quality of food. I personally believe that they could charge little more and I would happily pay for it because of the quality of food. Overall, so far the best Indian food I have had in Toledo, Ohio. Its definitely in my top 3 Indian Restaurants for me and i have had Indian food across the US. I will definitely will be back for more no questions asked. More...

We love Indian food and will travel when the craving is unbearable--and we did: 65 miles.  We loved Star of India.  The buffet was simply delicious.  The Mango Lassi was the best I have ever tried.  The service is fantastic, very friendly.  We know where to go for excellent Indian food from now on.  (Our bad experience at Tandoor Cuisine Of India, in Toledo, taught us a lesson, lol!)  Highly recommend it.

What a gem! Every bite is like being in India and all the ingredients were very fresh and tasty. ( And yes I have been to a number of cities in India so I can authentically say this). Portion sizes were more than generous leaving me another full meal to take home. What a great find, as I happened upon it as an out of stater. Service is excellant and you are highly attended to. Worth going to and well priced. I am putting The Star of India on the top on my must revisit list when I visit Toledeo again. More...

Ate at the Star of India for the first time yesterday. It will not be our last. They have a lunch buffet everyday from 11-4:30. Everything was absolutely delicious and the service was great as well. They do change the variety on the buffet.. They also had deserts too. Mom's quote was" the Mimosa Cheesecake is an explosion of flavors in your mouth". It was fabulous. Which went for the whole meal to me.Many of their dishes are vegetarian. They also have vegan and gluten free foods on the menu. And the price was more than reasonable, a little under $10. More...

So...my work peeps and I needed to redeem a prior Indian food experience and Star of India and Jaspreet delivered. Great flavor better service and really truly some of the best Indian we have had in the Midwest. Don't let the diner motif or glitter booths fool you. The food was delicious. We ordered the mixed appetizer and the pakora was light and not greasy, the samosas were well portioned. I had the saag paneer - medium spice - and was surprised by the portion and the flavor was spot on. The rice is cooked perfectly and Jaspreet was gracious enough to tell us how they make it so perfectly fluffy. My coworkers had the mixed tandoor and matar Paneer. They were as happy with their meals as I was. The mixed tandoor platter can easily feed two! All in all it was good food with a very entertaining and gracious sever. We will be back! More...

Just moved from Toledo and I am missing this place the most. My ex and I used to eat here once every couple weeks (would have been everyday if we weren't broke). The food is amazing. Vegetarian and extremely vegan friendly. My favorite is the mattar paneer. You CAN NOT leave without getting dessert. It's made from scratch daily. There's usually a good variety of flavored cheesecakes (vegan ones too).It's a family owned and operated local restaurant. You'll see the same 3 or 4, really nice people every time. Shoutout to Jesse and Seema for all the funny conversations and good times.It also always feels good to contribute to local economy. Anytime I'm in Toledo, I will be stopping here! More...

I was in Toledo for the weekend and some friends recommended i stop in and try this place out. They highly recommended it, 1. Because it was excellent Indian food 2. Because of the homemade cheesecake! And 3. Because it was a full on experience being at a diner... It was really cool walking into the former diner now Indian restaurant... i instantly seen the cheesecake and they said they only had a piece each of the flavors I wanted to try. So they said if I wanted they would hold them for me. So even before i sat down i had bought 4 slices of cheesecake!!! Lol!! When I finally got to order and try the food it was amazing! The meat samosas were the best I've personally ever had! They came 2 to an order an had cumin sprinkled on top. It was awesome! They asked what spice level I wanted for my chicken tiki masala... now the Indian restaurants im used to are really heavy handed with the spices!! So I ordered mild. I should've ordered hot. When they came back to ask me about my meal I told them it wasn't as hot as I expected... so they brought me the spice shaker, so I was able to make it as spicy as i needed it! It was perfect!! Then the naan and the rice! It was so good! And they were so nice! I will definitely be back when I'm in Toledo again.Now as for the cheesecake... as a baker, I personally can make better cheesecake, i was expecting more of a dense cheesecake. These aren't very dense. I tasted 3 types. The texture was very soft, almost like a no-bake cheese cake. I was wanting more chocolate from the chocolate brûlée.. and was hoping for a crunch from a sugar topping. The nutter butter was good, Very rich. And the best flavor was the animal cracker, (coming from the white chocolate topping) so my desserts didn't live up to my expectations. Unfortunately. But im a tough critic when it comes to dessert!

I've ordered several custom made cakes from Seema's Sweets at Star of India and each time I've been so impressed with the attention to detail and creativity. This time I asked for something peanut butter and chocolate, and completely outrageous. Mission Accomplished! Everyone raved about this cheesecake and it was perfect for the occasion. I also appreciate that Seema creates deserts inclusive of all dietary preferences. Her vegan desserts are amazing, especially the cheesecakes. The Star of India is our favorite Indian food and one of the top three places we dine at in Toledo. Next time you're there be sure to save room for dessert! More...

I love Indian food and travel quite a bit, and I've tried Indian places from Seattle to New York... and yet my favorite of all of them is a converted diner in Toledo, Ohio. The difference for me is that the sauces here are incredible, and their vindaloo (chicken/extra spicy for me) is my favorite of any I've ever had.Entrees run about $15-20 for dinner, but I've always gotten two meals out of it. The naan and rice are both always on point, and the wait staff and ownership is super nice. Only thing I've gotten that I wasn't crazy about was lamb, which was a bit too fatty on the day I ordered it.They also do catering and a lunch buffet, both of which I highly recommend. I'd eat here three times a week if I could. More...

Fantastic little find in Toledo when I had a hankering for Indian buffet and my usual place (Tandoor, down the street) was inexplicably closed on a Tuesday. (I found out from the people at Star of India that there had been an accident at Tandoor and the owner's wife had been badly burned. Prayers for her and please visit Tandoor when they are open as it is an excellent place, too.)Star of India has an excellent buffet with all the great Indian faves like aloo, paratha bread, basmati rice, spiced lentils, etc. They have vegetarian and vegan options as well as chicken dishes. I also ordered a delicious mango lassi with my meal. I only ate vegetarian, but still managed to stuff myself almost to the point if pain.Hurts so good!I didn't order off the menu, which I'm sure is delicious, because I love the variety (and endlessness!) of the buffet. What's also really cool is the buffet runs until 4pm so there isn't a short window to have to fit into. The place is clean, but not fancy. Plenty of easy parking. Come as you are. The real star is the food and the authentic Indian vibe. More...
