Place was dead when we arrived for dinner on a Wednesday. My first thought was this was not good. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. I like good flavor, but not too hot spice wise and the restaurant was able to accommodate my request. The location is a little small, but I can definitely recommend the food and service was good. Will come back if in the area. They appear to do a lot of take out business.
We tried New Sapphire after hearing that it had opened in a previous Indian restaurant's space. We were not disappointed. The owner took a personal interest when we asked for for his recommendation. The quality of their meats and appetizers were second to none. We will be coming back often.
Very delicious, very flavorful. We went for Friday lunch, and we were the only people there. So the service was great, and they were generous with bringing chai, nan, and dessert at no extra charge. We got palak paneer and a yellow lentil dal, and I loved them both.
One of the best Indian places I've had in a while, they seem a little new and I hope they do well. Their Chicken Tikka Masala is better than most places it has a savory sweetness to it that other places don't have, I don't normally order that unless I am having it here.
The Samosas are soft and taste freshly made, it seems some places make frozen ones, if they are using frozen they do a good job not making them taste that way so it leads me to believe they are fresh. The outside is lightly salty and not to hard, just flakey and buttery enough, a real treat. They are also great reheated somehow, they don't dry out!
Definitely give this place a try, I hope they stick around they deserve to.
We drive past at least 4 well-regarded Indian restaurants to get takeaway from this one. Have also had very nice lunches here. It’s a young place, staffed by young people. And with that comes a bit of disarray. But the food...is legit.
The restaurant was quiet and empty and the service wasn't great which was weird, but the food was excellent. We had samosas, garlic naan, tikka and some aloo mater which was the right level of flavor. The service really left a lot to be desired though.
Another Indian restaurant has moved into 1140 Kenny Center Mall [around the corner from the Kenny Rd. Staples].
Sapphire Indian Cuisine has moved into the former location of Cinnamon Indian Grill. In case anyone is interested, Cinnamon Indian Grill is now located at 2628 N. High St.
Sapphire Indian Cuisine has a good selection of Indian food [including food from north India and food from south India]. At times [but not all of the time], Sapphire Indian Cuisine offers "all-you-can-eat" dining.
If you want cold water served with your meal, I recommend requesting "water with ice." Traditionally, in India and in nearby locations in that part of the world, the water that is served with meals is usually lukewarm rather than cold.
In addition to having a dining room with fifty seats, it is also possible to order food from Sapphire Indian Cuisine on-line; delivery is free.
It's dinner if the best Indian food in Columbus. There are a lot of things on the menu I haven't seen anywhere else. The interior is a bit lacking but it makes up for it in deliciousness.
Ordered the chicken biryani. It was delicious! I ordered through EatStreet, delivery was 25 minutes after the estimated delivery time. For what they lacked in delivery, the food made up for it! I will/would order again.
I ordered The sapphire tandoori mixed grill and the lasuni gobi. The mixed grill was excellent. The meats were tender and well seasoned. The lasuni gobi had a sweet taste, similar to a general tso sauce. Everything was very tasty.
