Well being Indian myself, I have a very good idea about what Indian food is suppose to be like. So I go to this place on a Friday night and ordered Idly sambhar, a south indian speciality and man was i dissapointed. They served 2 idlys, that were like size of lets say a little bigger than a dollar coin and hard as rubber. They barely served any sambar (lentil soup accompaniment) which was not even warm. My bro ordered chicken tikka masala, which was another dissapointment, as it seemed like they just quickly mixed the regular chicked peices with the generic curry base. Hence, at the time of eating it, you could taste the chickn on its own and didnt seem like it got any one the spieces in it. Well, i was really dissapointed with my food, so i did bring it to the attention of the server. They did take the idly dish that i had ordered off our check, as I did not eat it and was not interested in it anymore, but still the experience of getting indian food at this place was not so good. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Very busy when I went today. It is kind of a small place and looked clean and well kept. Greeted by a very friendly server although he did not introduce himself (afterwards, I like to personally thank my servers in writing or face to face using names). He did well clearing my plates and refilled my water regularly without me having to ask him. I dined in for lunch buffet (from 11 am to 3 pm weekend hours). Not a whole lot of selection, but curry selection from chicken to a type of cheese that I thought was tofu at first and forgot the name for. Both were quite good. There is also a small salad bar, grilled chicken meat on the side table along with their syrup donuts which were quite tasty. Their naan bread was a little overburnt which made curries taste a little bitter sadly. Not too bad of a place overall. I will return when craving chicken curry with fresh naan bread (hopefully) and those donuts filled with syrup! :)

Most condescending restaurant experience of my life. I went today with some friends and the host seemed friendly at first. I ordered a vegetable curry. The host asked me how spicy I wanted it and I said as spicy as it comes. The host gave me a condescending look and said "Minnesota hot or India hot." I misheard and thought she said "Indiana" and I didnt know what she meant so I said "whichever is hotter." Assuming I had never eaten anything spicier than mayonnaise she said "okay so Minnesota hot it is". After she left I realized she said India so I got her attention and made her aware of the mistake and ordered it spicy (again). When the food came out the curry wasr about as spicy as pace mild salsa. I had just paid $15 plus tip to have the host purposely bring me what I did not order. Then she started trying to tell me I should come back for their lunch buffet???

I have eaten there many times & like the food but the last three times I went I had 1. a plate literally thrown at me by what other reviewers call the guy with the earring 2. the greeter refused to seat me until all the men in line were seated and 3. the guy with the earring started a fight with my father-in-law who was taking a group of 12 of us out for a birthday (really people, at $18 each you want to start calling a customer names because you didn’t serve the tea for 30 minutes?). I didnt understand the comments regarding the guy with the earring but after having to clean a plate of saag off my coat I get it! Why Im taking time to write this I dont know because I know the restaurant could care less. Good food if you dont mind being ignored, treated like a second-class citizen and assaulted.

The food was very pleasant. However I had to wait to get seated (not normally a problem, just acknowledge that you see im waiting at least) By the time I had gotten my water filled, I and my table knew what we were having, which should say something for how long we had to wait for water. Our appetizer came before our drinks did. Our food came within a good time of being ordered. However I and my guests waited around well after our meal to even STOP someone to ask for a check. Everyone everywhere was just waiting and waiting. Just about no one looked pleased with the service. If that was fixed, and less noise, it would have been a very lovely meal.

This place redeemed indian food for me. I have been unimpressed at other places, but tonight, i was truly stunned. I ordered the Tandoori dinner (at medium spice) for two, enjoying the lamb Samosa as my appetizer and Paneer Naan as my bread. An impressive amount of food later (seriously, it should be called dinner and leftovers for two), the homemade Kulfi tied the meal together perfectly. Furthermore, the waitstaff never failed to keep my glass full, and our meal was ready in less then ten minutes. Perhaps i may be inexperienced in indian food, but i know a good flavor when i taste it. Five Stars.

I arrived on a Friday afternoon for lunch buffet with my 3 kids and wife. The guy greets me and asks how many, and then promptly shows us to a table. Asks me if I wanted a high chair for my son and then comes back 5 minutes later to tell me that the table wax reserved and then would refuse to tell me when he was going to get us a table. He stops all eye contact and we then left and stopped at jimmy johns to get a sandwich. Never been treated in such a insulting fashion. Will never go back to such a disgusting place.

The price is a little higher than I would like given the portions. I think it should be $$$ and not $$. The food was delicious, however, they prioritize take out orders over dining in orders. The service was fine, but we really wish we would have been told how long it would take to get our food. After an hour we were told that our food was coming, but it still took another 20 minutes to get it. They took one drink off our bill to compensate, but took of more when we talked to them about it.

Food was good if you are looking for Indian food. Some dishes are not authentic Indian cooked and are modified immaturely. Their afternoon buffet is gigantic and yet pocket friendly. Other menu items are not very pocket friendly. Beer is also available here. Service is okay. Only problem was their curd is sour all the time which is made sweet also to fix it. The only feedback they should take note of. You can dine here at times. I was satisfied with the food overall.

The take out portions are very small and not enough for an adult. For $11, you get a side of rice and a 4 oz container of curry. Definitely not worth it. I called to let the manager know and spoke with a server who promised to have the manager call me. Sadly enough, they didnt have the courtesy to call me back. Ive had the lunch buffet and the food was good and peon size not an issue, but for take out avoid unless you plan to order two entrees per person.
