One of my favorite haunts. Ive been coming to this plaza since the location was three restaurants ago. and I think theyve finally got the best guys in there. While there is tons of great Indian in the area, the guys here really make the difference for me. I typically come in for the daily lunch buffet. A crazy value at ~$9, this place outfits you with naan and tandoori chicken moments after you sit down. While I love the buffet, the staff here really makes the difference for me. The manager has this incredibly jovial air that just surrounds him. The dude is like a personified hug. He often does the hosting which really makes you feel like a celebrity walking in there. Most of the servers are really funny, supper attentive and make a big deal out of pleasing the regulars. As I said, the buffet is great quality and is kept up quite nicely for the duration of lunch service. Never have I seen something out of stock or greasy or scorched. Every chaffing dish is reasonably sized, so it gets replenished often. I occasionally will come in for the dinners, and in my opinion that is where the real magic happens. Ive had Indian all over the state, even the other Utsav location, and this is by far my favorite spot.

I didnt like much. My family is all vegetarian and Indian, as well. We got paneer masala to start, which was spicy, but lacked any sort of depth of flavor. The same with any other dish we ordered. Also, they gave us two of the same dish by mistake. They even charged us $3 for an onion platter. Onions should be complimentary. Anyplace that charges for onions is a subpar restaurant masquerading as a high class eatery. The service was also subpar. We had to ask for onions, but more times than necessary. At one point before we got the aforementioned onions, a server came and asked if we ordered coffee. Evidently not. The atmosphere was terribly loud at 10 PM with crying children and shouting adults. The aesthetic is appealing, and it looks very modern. When I walked in, I expected the food to complement the scenery, and we were disappointed. Its evident that the restaurant was created with atmosphere over food in mind.

As others have said, the atmosphere is great. Its perfect for large parties or even if youre alone. The food here is even better than the atmosphere. I had the buffet and I am usually prepared for disappointment since the food is usually precooked and reheated or finished during the lunch hour. I was shocked at how good the food was in this buffet. The chicken in the Tikka Masala was a little dry, but the flavor was great. Im not going to knock it since it is buffet food and all things considered, its still the best buffet food Ive ever eaten. The Lamb Phaal though was better than almost anything Ive ever had at an Indian restaurant. Evrything here was full of flavor and aroma, you could tell the difference in the quality of the ingredients here. Even the Naan was fresh and aromatic. Love this place, highly recommend. I should mention too that for all of this, my bill was $11.00. Unreal!

“Delightful ambience, courteous staff and did I mention great buffet?? ;)” I have already reviewed about UTSAV, Vernon (CT). I have been Utsav Wethersfield for couple of times A-la-carte and buffet both. Buffet rate on weekend is a little bit more and on a weekday is less, but both prices are well within you reach. The ambience is great and more spacious then Vernon one. Waiters are courteous and so is the management. As this is Indian restaurant so of course, you ll get to listen to Hindi songs. Coming to food- in the buffet, they provide ample no of variety in veg and non-veg both. What I like is they serve tandoori as sizzlers. Isn’t it great…!! Egg curry –some sabji in baigan (eggplant).Those were great too and yes try their green chutney too. In desserts, I had rice kheer. That was astonishing... So overall I was totally satisfied with the food and everything

My first riview. The price invertly proportionate to quality and taste has prompted it. THE worst food I ever had. And paid a heavy price for it too. The supposed to be biryani had burnt coriander powder based curry mixed with mushed rice, burnt onions, hard pieces of tandoori chicken/ meat. The meat was burnt too. I would have hoped that the rice at least could have been cooked better. But somehow the cook managed to keep it raw in some places and mushy and broken in other.

If you want super thick coriander paste, which they call as curry, and want to pay a lot of money, then this is the place for you. I did a take out of Chicken Tikka Rasedar and Goat pepper fry and boy boy, they were this tasteless big ball of coriander paste. Never ever order the above two items from the menu, you will regret it. The butter naan was really good though.

We were 5 for buffet. Most dishes were vegetarian with two non veg which had only sauce remaining but meat all gone. Very disappointed. Taste of food was generally satisfactory. The meat dishes were replenished somewhat but it was too late for me anyway. The decor is well done and seating comfortable I am willing to recommend it to others for its authenticity.

Amazing food! Amazing service! Amazing price! The waiters just kept bringing food and anything we needed very quickly. We were never without water for more than 20 secs. Waiters were very kind. One even told me about an app to learn Hindi! Definitely go if you have a chance!

Amazing amazing food!! Loved the flavors every single time! Well lit, nice ambiance and food where you can tell the different flavors - not the monotonous same sauce with different things in them. Glad we found this place!

If you are looking for amazing Indian food and an upscale ambience with professional staff in the New England area, this is one place you dont wanna miss. There malai kofta and chlli garlic nan is music to the palate.

Excellent food!! Consistent quality which I do not find in every Indian restaurant. I am from India, btw. My wife has used their catering service two times, for 50+ guests and people loved the food.

One of the best restaurants I ve visited in Connecticut State. The buffet is awesome and a-la-carte is good too. Bit expensive than other Indian restaurants but totally worth every penny
