A popular Cincinnati restaurant is moving its Downtown location to a new neighborhood.

Bridges Nepali Cuisine says it will be closing its Court Street store after five years in business and transitioning to Walnut Hills. The restaurant says while the decision was difficult, they’re excited to join the neighborhood.

“We are extremely excited to announce that we will be opening soon to become part of this dynamic and flourishing neighborhood. The anticipation of our opening day fills us with eager enthusiasm as we prepare to embark on this new journey,” Bridges shared on social media Monday.

The Nepali restaurant says it will be closing the Court Street location in mid-May, with the new store expected to open in the former Hoity Toity Donuts space at 2459 Gilbert Ave. in July.

Bridges is also getting ready to welcome guests to its new Covington location, with a planned opening in April. That store will be located at 11 W. Seventh St.

Bridges Nepali Cuisine to Open Fourth Location in Northern Kentucky: Bridges Nepali Covington will open in the former McK's BBQ space in February.

Bridges Nepali Cuisine, 4165 Hamilton Ave., Northside; 133 E. Court St. (until mid-May), Downtown; 6304 Vine St., Elmwood Place; 11 W. Seventh St., Covington; 2459 Gilbert Ave., Walnut Hills (opening in July). More info: bridgesnepalicuisine.com.

The 25 Best Indian & Nepali Restaurants in Greater Cincinnati, According to Yelp

Ambar India Restaurant350 Ludlow Ave., Clifton“Ambar is hands down the best Indian restaurant in Cincinnati. I have tried many and always come back to Ambar. I've never had a saag mushroom at any Indian restaurant ever as delicious as Ambar's. The garlic naan is perfect and the chicken tikka masala is top notch. Servers are friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is intimate and quiet enough for casual conversation. Definitely recommend Ambar if you're looking for some great Indian cuisine.” -Colleen A.

Krishna Indian Restaurant313 Calhoun St., CUF“This place is across the street from the law school and the moment I tried it, I knew I was in trouble because it is so good and just so close. I always order the chicken tikka masala, spicy level 2. The creaminess and flavor is amazing. Naan is always cooked to perfection and like the perfect consistency you would want for naan. The place is small so definitely just do takeout if you are going to eat it. Proportions are so large. Like it makes three meals ordering their entree. Also I must mention the workers are so friendly and funny. They know me and my order and I will probably have to eat here at least bimonthly until I die.” -Angela L.

Bridges Nepali Cuisine (Northside)4165 Hamilton Ave., Northside“I cannot say enough GOOD things about this restaurant! You have to get the momos and naan! My favorites, hands down. Everything we had was delicious though: the rice bowl, the woh, and the tea. The staff is friendly and helpful if you have questions too.” -Emily V.

Shaan Indian Cuisine3880 Paxton Ave., Oakley“Recently moved to Cincy and Shaan is near our new place. When I tell you that first bite was like seeing God, I mean it. Absolutely delicious! We had the vegetable samosa, matar paneer, and chicken makhani with garlic naan. Do not skip the garlic naan! The service was quick and attentive. Our waiter was very kind and joked with us, making us feel wanted in the restaurant, not just like he was doing his job. We will definitely be back.” -Cat S.

Elephant Walk Indian Bar and Grill170 W. McMillan St., CUF“This is THE best lunch special! $10 for all of this food! If you are new to Indian food this is a great way to sample everything. It comes with: Saag Paneer, Chana Masala, Mushroom Matar, Basmati Rice, Naan, and Gulab Jamun for dessert! Everything was so delicious and fresh. They also have an Ethiopian version of this lunch special that looked equally as delicious.” -Shantell P.

Dusmesh Indian Restaurant944 Ludlow Ave., Clifton “I'm always loving this place every time I come. It is very inviting and all the staff is very friendly. Typically when I come here, I choose between this place and another place over in Northern Kentucky. They are pretty similar but for Cincinnati, this one takes the cake.They have a great menu selection and everything I've ever gotten has been excellent. It's never too spicy but it's just spicy enough for me. I typically get the Thal plates which come with a lot of different variety and naan. Definitely a good dinner that you might end up taking part of it home.Looking forward to going back and trying different things on the menu. Very much recommended for good Indian food in Cincinnati! They've been here a while so keep giving them business so they can keep giving us good food.

From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere and the tantalizing aroma of freshly cooked spices.The menu at Delhi Palace is diverse and offers a range of options to suit any taste.

The beverage menu is also worth mentioning, with a variety of Indian beers and other drinks to choose from.The atmosphere at Delhi Palace is cozy and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed dinner with family or friends.
