The other day I went to this disgusting restaurant with my family and the food was absolutely pale. The staff told us restaurant was gonna be full and we might not get food on time however when we were there restaurant was all empty and the staff was just trying to sell there stale buffet from morning, we insisted not to have buffet but the staff forced because they said we might get food super late. There was only one curry and bread. Noodles,samosa,pakora,and south indian food was absolutely cold and stale. We have had a good experience with this restaurant in past but the current experience was terrible and I am just upset. They need to have more staff and they have to be more professional and consider what the customers want and not force them to eat buffet just to sell there cold morning food. Plus it was $18.99 which was way expensive and food was not good for the price I think Chand palace and masala art does better job. Frankly speaking I wouldnt suggest this place to anyone!!!

I normally dont write reviews for restaurants, however, seeing some bad reviews I thought I had to put my two cents in. I have only been to five or six Indian restaurant evers, and I always thought All India Restaurant was by far the best. The reason I havent gone to many is because we keep coming here for the buffet and for the great food. We travel about one hour from out of town. Why chance it somewhere else when you are craving Indian food. I found this restaurant when I did a search a couple of years ago for the best Indian food, and it was on top. I cant believe the bad reviews brought down the rating of this restaurant so much. It makes me wonder if the reviews were written by competitors. Keep up the good work All Indian Restaurant and I wont be searching further. Thanks.

The place is a little gaudy and over heated but then all Indian aces are gaudy... Had mushroom pees curry with cottage cheese stuffed bread (mutter mushroom and lander kulcha for Indians). The cook at this place is good the balance of spices was great and the flavours delicate. While the mushroom matter had an underlying sweetness, it was delicately offset by the juliennes of ginger, and the ginger was not over fried. The lander kulcha was filled all the way to the edges, was soft and fresh, and there was a light hint of Haram Masala in it, the jeera too was delicate and the chilli just galvanized the flavor. For the first time I am packing the leftover food and taking it home - something I never do even in India.

Banjara definitely has the potential to be the best Indian spot around this area, they just need to work on smoothing out the rough edges. The staff is courteous and accommodating but they need to pick up the pace during busy times. They have an extensive menu but right now this is working against them because the overall quality is not as good compared to a smaller selection of top notch dishes. Maybe focus on North Indian cuisine since that seems to be the best tasting. The interior of the restaurant has very nice decor but the exterior could use some polish to be more noticeable and attractive. Keep going and be the best!

We will not go again here for vegetarian food. Bad quality food. We ordered for fried rice, pasta, hakka noodles and gobi manchurian. Nothing was appealing except Pasta. Fried rice was like pulav and without salt. When we complained we got the same rice with super extra salt. Basic Gobi Manchurian was served bad like burnt plainGobi without any sauce added. After complaining they served it better. Hakka noodles was over burnt. They should try once Mithas food for the same and might be able to replicate the taste. Overall not at all satisfactory.. we felt like waste of money that time!!!

Everyone in party got very sick and one was diagnosed by a doctor with food poisoning and was sick for a month. Health Department inspector said the owner was smashing up the stove with a hammer when he got there. The report said refrigerator was too warm, the food wasnt reheated properly, the drain was clogged, and the kitchen was dirty, and so on. The service was strange. Search reviews by lowest rating first. There are about 25 1 star reviews, many with interesting comments.

This restaurant is a joke for its Indian patrons. Food is lack luster, unauthentic and pricey for delivery service. Banjara claims itself to be a Hyderabadi restaurant but none of the dishes we ordered had even a whiff of the nawabi South Indian cuisine! Their food is probably meant to serve the American palate, at best, which also explains the glowing reviews on Google. In that case, they need to work on their positioning and marketing.

This is the first time that I actually did not enjoy the experience of eating Indian food. The selections and the quality of food used to be so much better, but when I went today, my expectations were slashed. They did not even have saag paneer or tandoori chicken for lunch! The chicken wing they brought out was raw and still bleeding. If I could give less than a star, I would. I would highly recommend not going here for anything.

Went for weekend buffet. Food was nothing different than any other place. Service was pathetic. There were atleast 5 people helping but each one only distributing checks. I had to move our used plates to other tables since so one picked them up. We had to wait for refills to come (like naan etc.). The worst $50 weve ever spent on indian food for family. Id give it a negative start if i had

Went for the weekend buffet, the appetizers (pakora and bel puri) were soggy, the water for the pain puri was a diluted store bought cilantro chutney. As for the vegetarian main courses, all I could taste in the paneer tikka masala was tomato sauce. The aloo baingan had no aloo and was dripping in oil and the naan was under cooked and bits of it were raw. My advise is to save ur money.

We rarely order Indian food in this area because despite asking for "mild" spice we usually get a dish that nearly melts our faces off. This was our first time ordering here and the spice was truly mild, as requested, and yet retained all of the other wonderful flavors we love. The quality of the ingredients was also very good. This immediately became our go-to Indian restaurant.

We went to try out this place on Sunday while driving back from Bridgewater, the doors were locked at about 2:20 PM, when the door opened the guy asked us "Buffet", yes was my response, " ok then you need to hurry up and leave. We close at 2:45" That was very abrupt and rather rude. We followed the good reviews here, but experience was different.

Banjara ALWAYS delivers exceptional food, and outstanding customer service. Ive been ordering delivery from them since they opened and Ive never been disappointed. Their chicken curry is delicious, the flavors in their lamb biryani will change your life, and I have to order extra butter naan because my husband cant get enough! We love Banjara!

Some of the food is really good. Some not so much. Samosa was not good. Sambar was good as a soup but wada were soft and undercooked. The paneer was really good. They have mango lassi which is a good touch. So its generally better than the run of the mill indian restaurant . I am sure the dinner will be much better in an a-la-carte form.
