I absolutely adored my experience here. The food and service were both excellent. I came here with my fiance and he ordered the chicken korma and I got the lamb korma. We each got some rice and garlic naan (delicous!). We ended up trading dishes because we each liked the others food better, so it all worked out in the end! I thought that the chicken flavor had a really great flavor, and they didnt make the food too spicy which is usually a concern for me. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. The server (owner?) was super nice and checked in on us frequently which is a rare experience for most indian restaurants in the area. I think that this place is the full package and very reasonably priced when you are looking for a casual dinner out. I will absolutely be back, and I look forward to trying their lunch buffet!

Food is quite good, in fact a lot of improvement over what used to be at this location (Minerva Cafe). I specifically like their lunch buffet .. a lot many varieties (both veg and non-veg), value for money (~USD 8), and open till late afternoon (~3:00pm).. for me its perfect deal for Saturday lunch. I heard (from my roommate) that their thaali (meal combo) is also nice, Im yet to try that myself. It is generally sparsely crowded since it doesnt have a vantage location like the Indian restaurants straight on El Camino. However the restaurant has opened just few weeks back and its a couple of minutes drive from El Camino, so I hope it will soon gain popularity. P.S. I found they serve free tea whenever I went.

I didnt dine in, but rather had my girlfriend pick me up some india food for my craving and drop it off to me. This was our first time trying this place, so like most places the first time I try, I order a general dish to see how they make it. I ordered a Chicken Tiki Masala and boy was I surprised. The serving for the price that we paid was great and the dish was delicious! The spices and flavors were good, it wasnt spicy as a mild, so I may need to up the spice next time I go. I would imagine this place being very busy for lunch as it is located next to businesses across the street.

My husband and I go here all the time mostly for lunch buffet because we are on a budget. They have a great selection of curries both with meat and vegetarian. They even have goat curry :) I dont eat goat, but there I always scoop a bit , its delicious. I love the freshly cut salad with cucumbers. Thank you for being an awesome place to go to. Customer service is always nice, respectful, cheerful and overall great. You have to come in a bit early (before noon) to get a close-up parking spot, otherwise it might be hard since it is sooo popular!

I ordered delivery through door dash 2 times and their food is awesome. I hope they maintain this and not get carried away with these good reviews. I had the lamb curries(punjabi and rogan), tandoori chicken and chicken pakora and they were good. Only thing I could ask them to improve is they use lot of oil. Also, if they are not delivering they might want to remove the delivery menu from their site as its confusing as they are not delivering anymore. Would recommend if you want good Indian food

The lunch buffet is reasonably priced and the food is exactly what you would expect from North Indian cuisine. They have some of my favorite nan around and you can make your visit as short or long as you like since you choose when to pay. The dinner is good too but is not buffet style and they have always catered to specific requests that were not on the menu when I asked. The whole staff is pretty friendly actually. I also enjoy getting the complementary Chai tea after my meal.

Went there for my birthday treat. Tandoori taste was really good. It wasnt too spicy. Goat curry wasnt that good. Felt goat was not cooked completely. The curry taste was good. Liked the butter chicken and panner. Palak panner was also good. Not a good choice for vegetarians as you have very very less choices. Pakora was good. Halwa & Gheer was not that sweet and it tastes good. I felt the place was little congested.

Went to this on a Monday afternoon and had their buffet. My wife and I, we loved the food. The saag, the pakore, the chutneys and the naan were really good...we thoroughly enjoyed the food. Although thr desserts were a little disappointing. The owner was also pleasant to chat with. I would def. recommend this place and would def.be back to try their regular menu.

Hands down, the best Indian food restaurant in the area! We order take out from here once a week or so and never disappointed. Highly recommend the Butter Chicken and Vegi Korma dishes, which are our favorites. The staff is really friendly as well. Never tried the lunch buffet, but am pretty sure its just as good. Highly recommend this place if you like Indian food!

This is a small family run restaurant. The food (both off the menu / lunch buffet) is amazing and great value for money. What I particularly love about this place is the service - the owner puts in a lot of effort to serve with a smile and go the extra mile to cater to your taste. Definitely recommended for delicious North Indian food.

Consistently good. Parathas are firm and little crispy, not crumbly which falls apart. Veg korma is great. Baigan bharta and Kadai paneer also favorites. Very courteous service. Today they pleasantly surprised us by getting all our food along with half the parathas and the other half followed up fresh and hot :))

Отличный обеденный буфет, несмотря на небольшой выбор. Нан свежий и очень вкусный. Десерт Гулабджамун один из лучших что я ел в США.

Delicious and reasonably priced Indian buffet. Lots of veggie and non-veggie options. Tea to end your buffet so that you dont feel drowsy afterwards. Helpful and attentive staff. Awesome naans and curries, cant stop eating them even when I am full. Will be back soon with the family from India :)

We decided to check out this restaurant based on the reviews (3/3/17) and it was not too far from the hotel where we were staying. I tried the Cuban mojito. Delicious, it was not sweet at all and he ordered beer. With the exception of the truffle crab mac and cheese, the food was average.

Extremely disappointed with the quality control. Im a vegetarian and I found multiple chicken pieces in paneer tikka masala. The food was crap and was crowded. Not too many options as well. There are so many places around Sunnyvale for good Indian food. Look somewhere else

I havent tried the buffet, which may be better (I think its there only during lunch time). Their menu options are tasty, but can become too oily quickly. Id recommend the samosa. Definitely not bad, but there are better places available if you go a bit farther.

Really tasty food. More interesting options compared to the average Indian buffet. Interesting atmosphere - buffet only and hard to find any signage about pricing or options. Pay at the register after you eat. Very crowded, but the turnover seems fast.

Really good food for the money. Inside its a typical dumpy strip mall that is very unassuming best each of the chicken and veggie curries we got were quite good and the garlic naan was excellent. The chai tea wasnt my favorite but overall good value.
