Review for their lunch buffet. Definitely lots of different options for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Food is great and in my opinion, beats the numerous options I can find in let say, Bloomington or even up in Indy. I tried their Tandoori Chicken (Tasty and actually not dry for once), Biryani, and a few curries. All taste really good. Most important, they actually served fresh naan with buffet. Something that Im definitely not used to (Most Ive been to just put the naan along with the rest of the food options in the buffet bar, which means they get harden and are usually cold). Consider their selection, price is not bad. Its definitely not the cheapest but if the food is good, its well worth the price. Service-wise, servers are attentive and not much else I can ask for. Will definitely stop by again when Im in the Columbus area!

The food was delicious, with the spice flavors standing out in every dish. Would have given the 5 stars if not for their terrible service. Instead of being seen to our seats, we were pointed with an eye roll. Late into our meal we were finally give naan that should have been given at the begining, and also, everyone was on their smartphones nearly the entire time playing games or what sounded like their own flavor of Indian music other than the one already playing in the restaurant. It was that loud. Lastly, my wife saw a mouse scurry across the floor. On the upside, most of their customers were of Indian ethnicity, so it is definitely authentic. To reiterate, awesome food. Terrible service.

This restaurant is tucked away behind a shopping center, where youll need to park in a less-than pristine parking lot, and then a walk down an alley, during which time youll swear your directions cant be right. The restaurant has very good service, and a wonderful lunch buffet with a huge variety of options from different regions of India. They are usually busy for lunch, and they accommodate large groups well. They have excellent vegetarian and vegan options, plenty of meats, and good Indian desserts. Beer and wine is available. Dinner menu is extensive and everything weve tried is delicious. It is less busy at dinner, and portions are generous. Do not pass on the Naan.

Food was okay. The service was horrible. Weve ordered Masala Fish Fry, Chicken Biryani and Hakka Noodles veg. The server got us the food but never gave us plates to eat until we had to call him again and ask for them. He has given biryani without raita and we had to ask him twice to get it. Weve asked for a spicy biryani and all he got is biryani with some raw and thin sliced Thai peppers over the biryani. The chef did not know the fact that Indian spiciness comes from a combination of spices and not from some thai peppers. I would not recommend going here for Biryani. Edit: Been here recently and the service is very poor this time as well.

This Indian restaurant doesnt change their buffet menu. Same food every time. Food is not at all good...same taste in every item. Ambience is OK but horrible service. The black dressed waiters work with extreme reluctance. Some of them are quite rude if you ask for your share of naan/dosa even water. Due to Cummins large Indian employees and lack of an alternative, this place is still in business. If the management doesnt improve their service, train the waiters on behaving with customers, improve their food...its just a matter of time that this restaurant will sink very deep.

Amazing Food and large variety to choose from in the lunch buffet. A must visit during the weekend! Usually a bit crowded around lunch but really worth every penny you spend. Delicious Indian food with affordable pricing around the region between Cincinnati, Louisville and Indianapolis. The only drawback: Service, for some reason there is unpleasant service every time I go in. I am generous tipper even if the waiter is a little rude to me. The management should look at improving the service, in a competition oriented world, good service will add extra points to any business.

Surprised to find such good indian food all the way out here. Chicken seekh kababs were delicious and juicy. The chicken tikka masala was excellent with some great curry that wasnt loaded with cream. Lastly the paneer dosa were also excellent. The paneer had great flavor and the consistency of scrambled eggs. The cons were that service was very slow and the dosa got soggy by the time they got to our table. Definitely go here if you are looking for great indian food in the area.

Terrible service and food. Managers and server are rude, they really do not know how to treat customer. I asked for salted lassi, served me yogurt in the glass , really stupid. During carry out, they ll intentionally skip item from your order , and if you call back and ask for it,they would not listen to you but actually blame it on you. It has not happen just to me but to my other friends as well. In one line , worst resturant i have ever been to in my life.

The food was good and had enough variety of vegetarian dishes but the waiter was quite rude. We reached at 1:30pm and he said restaurant is closing in 10 minutes while the timings were written up to 2pm. Also he was busy driving away other customers atleast 4-5 people and they started removing food trays at 1:45pm as if they were obliging customers. The owner must keep a watch on the waiters else he will lose business.

Had been wanting Indian food for some time now, and there were not many selections in my area. Made a visit to Columbus and made a point to come here for the lunch buffet. I was not impressed at all. I didnt care for any of the food, maybe I had high expectations. Also felt that the lunch buffet was overpriced (if I was charged correctly). However, the desserts were some of the best Indian desserts that I have had.

This one of the best, if not the best, restaurant in Columbus. Excellent service, excellent food, good dining environment, and reasonably priced. Look for this place as it is not on a main road. The manager has given us complimentary appetizers multiple times. He is very personable and remembers his customers.

The demeanor of the staff is absolutely unwelcome. One incident is such that when me and my friend went for a meal, the staff was rude when asked for a cup of cold water. The exact response was, "If you want cold water, ask in advance". That was a done deal for us right there! We stood up and walked out.

Never had a single satisfying visit to this restaurant. Food is overpriced, waiting staff is rude and unaware of how to do their work. The cashier behaved as if he was doing us a favour by taking our money. Give this place a miss and cook yourself! :)

This is the best Indian place in Columbus! Id even go as far as saying its better than the old Passage to India in the bishops Plaza. Spicy / delicious food with equally hot and spicy Masala/Chai tea. Definitely one of Columbuss best kept secrets.
