Im not big into all-you-can eat since Im always trying to lose weight, but Ive been to about 3 other Indian buffets (San Jose, Van Nuys, and Los Angeles). This is my favorite. Not so much for the food, although it was good, but for the desserts. Like many buffets, they had Golab Juman (dough balls in thin honey sauce) but these looked like brown sugar all the way through the ball, broke apart almost like brown sugar, and they were just about the sweetest thing Ive ever tasted. If youre not so into sweet, they had "Mango Tango" which was like mango yogurt with apples and grapes. That doesnt sound like an obviously-good combination, but it tasted wonderful. They also had a mildly-sweet carrot and nut concoction that my wife loved, and Ras Malai, which is balls of something akin to goat cheese in cream. Again, my wife loved the Ras Malai but its not quite my thing. Ive never seen Ras Malai at a buffet before, and in fact we paid $5 for it at another Indian place and they only gave us two tiny balls of it, each smaller than a typical piece of sushi. As for the non-desserts, they had a good variety and I liked most of it. I wouldnt say it was noticeably better than the other buffets Ive had but it was great food. They had great samosas which is one of my favorites and these small cylindrical fried potato patties which Ive never had before but they might have been my favorite dish. They also had these fried chips cut into parallelogram shapes but seemingly made of pastry dough and mildly sweet. It was almost like eating little thin pieces of pie crust. Dont know what they were called but they went well with dessert. Few dishes were spicy which is how I like it. I didnt notice any condiment spices you could add to it but I bet theyd bring you some if you asked. About 4 different people came by asking if we needed anything while we ate. One person actually apologized for giving us paper napkins, saying the company that washed their linen napkins had done a poor job so they sent them back. I absolutely love places that use linen napkins because it takes more energy to cut trees and process paper napkins than it does to wash linen. Plus bleaching white paper napkins uses a lot of chlorine or other chemicals bad for the environment. They opened July 17th but as of Aug 13th are still running their all you can eat buffet special at $8.95 per person, as well as $1.50 beers. Thats an incredible price, so get it while it lasts - Im pretty sure it will go up eventually. It would be awesome if they kept that price permanently for a "single-plate" buffet where you could fill one plate with a variety of your favorites plus say one dessert. Or if that didnt work out due to dishonest customers, you could just name dishes and theyd fill the plate for you. Because I like the variety of a buffet but I dont like paying big bucks for it, then feeling like I have to stuff myself when I really only wanted a single plate.

I tired this place out last year and enjoyed it. I thought it would be a great to go back support local business. When we walked in no one was at the front to greet or seat us. There was a small crowed at the bar, but otherwise it was empty. The waitres looked over at us, but didnt come over. After a about 10 mintues waiting we were finally seated. The food was extremely salty probably from reheating. The chicken dry. The veggie soup had a horrible sour taste. We didnt get our naan until we had finished eating dinner. The worst part is I woke up with food poisoning this morning. Sadly, I will not be returning.

The food is really awesome. Very delicious. The first time i placed an online order for non-veg combo, (which says for 2 people) I got good quantity of food. 2 rotis 2 bowls of rice and etc. But later that, I ordered twice and they have been giving me only 1 roti and 1 bowl of rice. How will this be sufficient for 2 people !!!. The chicken curry quantity is good, but with what should we eat that. Jassen, please when you say for 2 people, send 2 peoples food. Otherwise I give 5 stars for this restaurant.

Just had our wedding here and the A/C was not on and all of our guest were hot, we paid to have it indoor due to the heat outside and it was hotter indoor then it was outside.. SMH overall besides that issue the food was delicious, and decor was perfect..

Im one of those that needs to impressed somewhat on the first visit, this place did not. Mainly because of the service, slow and not very attentive
