Nawab's Indian Cuisine

Our Beginning

Nawab's opened in early 2025 at 4715 Kirkwood Highway, Wilmington, DE (Midway Plaza). Founded by three friends aiming to share authentic North and South Indian cooking in a relaxed, welcoming setting, they spent months on menu development, design, and tasting before opening a 64-seat dining room with a small bar.

Hidden In Plain Sight

Nawab's Indian Cuisine sits along Kirkwood Highway in Wilmington, Delaware — the kind of place you discover once and never stop returning to. Inside: North and South Indian dishes made with quiet confidence and no shortcuts.

The Kitchen

Every dish arrives hot, fragrant, and beautifully composed — slow-simmered curries, homemade paneer, tandoor-roasted proteins, and a hot and spicy soup that has earned its own devoted following. The commitment is simple: do things right, every single time.

A Place For Everyone

Plant-based diners aren't an afterthought here — they're honored guests with a menu as complex and satisfying as anything else on the table. Our broad vegan and gluten-free options make it easy for more guests to find something they’ll enjoy. The chana masala, in particular, has earned fans who call it out by name.

More Than Dinner

Our modern bar program brings Indian-inspired cocktails with carefully chosen wines. Nawab's is just as fitting for a celebratory dinner as a casual Tuesday night. Our catering team brings that same spirit to your next event.
