Sometimes you get into a restaurant rut and go the the same few restaurants again and again: your favorite salad place, burger joint, steak house or your favorite Indian or Chinese restaurant. Why gamble when you know the food is good? Then you hear about a new restaurant or read a review and want to try it. Why not. Nothing... More

I really have never liked goat cooked in ethnic pots or any other pots until I finally happened on Dushmesh's rendition of this goat curry. It was fabulously tender and toothsome. Most of their items are quite good, even the hateful Gobi dessert like chicken tikka masala of the pink redish fame, here is moist and very tender. We go... More

I went to Dusmesh for the first time in October. Wonderful experience and the food was excellent and we had a kind waitress. I decided to go back again a couple months later and the experience was not as good. I ordered the exact same thing I ordered the last time with a spice level of 3. When I got... More

We discovered Dusmesh four years ago and regularly eat there with friends and family. The restaurant is owned by a wonderful woman from Northern India and the food is authentic. Plus we can bring our wine!!

Having traveled extensively throughout India and immersed myself in the local cuisines, I was overwhelmed by the similarity in tastes at Dusmesh with true Indian food. In addition, the staff was warm, accomodating, and friendly. I just hadn't had an occasion to try this restaurant conveniently located right across from Cincinnati State. The highest compliment I can pay a restaurant... More

I had only had Indian food once before in Louisville and a bit of some on a cruise. Nothing prepared me for how tasty this was! As a vegetarian, the options were so wonderful. So tasty and delicious. I'll definitely be back for more.

We went to Dusmesh last night for dinner. Our experience was the same as the prior 5 or 6 times we have been there, which is always greeted with a friendly smile, promptly seated and the staff is always caring and very helpful. Just like the service the food is always served promptly and is always hot (temperature) and very... More

There are many Indain resturants in Clifton and I always enjoy going here because the staff are freindlier than all the others and the feel of the resturant is more homey too. The selection is great and the best Saag dishes too. Go and enjoy
