Pretty terrible. Staff looks and acts like they dont care. Everything is dirty; bathroom, doors, walls, ceiling, chairs, tables, buffet table, etc. I was afraid to breath too heavy as I would blow off the dust hanging from the ceiling. Came for lunch buffet. Its all self serve. They have a cold section and hot section. All the food looked old as if reused for weeks on end. Hot food had a good selection. But they were out of multiple dishes. It was only when a customer mentioned something did they bring out more lukewarm food. Some of the chicken dishes were low on chicken. Many only had dry white meat. The lamb dish had a ½" of grease on top. Water was self serve in a fridge that was covered in grease. Water pitchers were dirty. Many plates and silverware had food residue. I wouldnt come here for lunch, dinner, or get delivery.

Worst Biriyani and Lassri. Me and my friend did a take out order to the office . The Biriyani had a foul smell. And there was no salt, or any taste. Thought the Lassi would save the day, it was even worse - just watered down mango pulp. It was so bad that we ended up eating another bite of Biriyani to get rid of the bad taste in the mouth. I am fairly certain we are going to get a stomachache tomorrow. Now we have to eat a cup noodle from the vending machine - so much for the dinner btw, called and told them what happened - they said sorry. $32 worth of sorry

No delicious food smell when you walk in. Weird decor. No music. Burnt smell. Dropped pan sound. Slow svc. Cold room. Naan not hot or crispy. Tikka masala not temp hot enough. Raita pretty fresh and tasty. Waiter no English. Didnt bring water. Didnt help me to ask if i want rice. I did but he never came around to see how i was doing. Dining room HUGE (too big). Unappetizing grey blur color on walls. Nasty lighter fluid smell! Waiter never brought check. Had to go up to register. Will never return. Update: got sick to my stomach from the food a few hours later

For lunch, lava offers a buffet that is quite tasty and yet there is no wait in time usually. However, the food sometime is behind the demand, several times there were no chickens in the curry and we have to wait for them to be cooked. I wish they prepare food faster. Lunch buffet was around 13 bucks.

Buffet overpriced. Place is filthy. Dirty handprints on front door. Bad vibe place. Staff no English. Food no flavor or bad flavor. Type of food/place that causes stomachache. How can they afford the rent for such a big place?

Pretty nice place. There is usually not many people there in the evening, so they are quick to whip up your food. Not the best Indian food in the Bay, but good, consistent, and reasonably priced.

This place may look like a cafeteria, but the food is fresh (including the buffet) and their service is friendly. The masala chai is strong tasting.

No flavor sometimes - may be their cook takes too many timeoffs. And the food has a funny smell. Pls get your refrigerator fixed.

Considering the location, descent Indian/Pakistani food. The buffet is the best option. I love the fresh Nann bread.

They are not responsible. They delivered smelled chicken biryani through UberEATS. So bad.
