Nice and quiet atmosphere. The place was not busy when I came in. I was immediately tended to by waiters: iced water, some chip-like bread with 2 choices of dip. One was sweet and the other sour. I really like the sour one, dipping the bread while waiting for my appetizer to arrive. I have ordered Panjabi Samosa and it quickly arrived. It was just like I expected, stuffed with spiced potato with fried shell around it. The taste was good. Next, after a little wait, came the main course, Lamb Vindaloo with rice and raita. the The meat was great, spicy and tender, just like I wanted and raita nicely complemented it. I have also decided to go for dessert and ordered Rasmalai. It was a first for me trying this dish and I was smitten away by it. I would definitely order it again. So, the whole experience was a success. On top of that they offer a coupon on their website for 20% dinner and that helped offset the price of dessert. After all, the waiter has bagged all the leftover food for me. I like also, that during that he wrapped all boxes in the food wrap, which nicely prevented it from spilling during further transportation. The location of place wishes to be better, half empty strip mall, but the food is worth it. The prices are pretty fair, considering I had taken home about half of my food. I will definitely will visit them again.

Not a great experience. Missed the essential Indian Pickles. The Raita was too sour. Probably because the yougurt used was old. The Goat curry was tasteless and watery. the meat was pre boiled and just poured into a premix of some sort.It had no tatse. The chichen tikka masala was on the sweeter side. But this will appeal to the Caucasian crowd that frequents the place and does not really understand true indian cooking. the deserts had gulab jamuns that tasted like the came out from a tin. You could feel the sugar crystals. The Rice Kheer was just boiled milk with sugar and rice. No efforts were taken to slow boil the bile and allow it to thicken. Given that they are catering to a Buffet you would expect better cooked dishes. the price was the general rate for buffets in the area. Will not be visiting again.

Beware of these people they will over charge your debi/credit cards or tip themselves. I got food to-go, and guy decided tip himself despite being very rude as usual, hes short Indian guy whith glasses and no personality, hes worked there for years and I try to avoid dealing with him if i can, but it wasnt possible on my last visit. As you can probably tell that Im a regular at this establishment but Im tired of mistreatment here. I always ask for papadum with my to-go order and he either tells me NO or tells me that they are out. Which I know wasnt true because i can look around the restaurant and see it on most of the customers tables. The food is good but the service is very poor!!!

This place is the best India gourmet place have ever been to, believe me I have tried all kinds of different locations and this is by far the best ever. The taste is very authentic with exotic flavors, they have many dishes to choose from with a competitive price compare to other places. Personally I have been coming to this locations for 11 years and the same personnel with the same great taste, service, and elegant. They also have all you can eat buffet each and every other day is a different kind of options on the buffet line only during lunch time hours though, honestly if you have not tried their buffet its a must try you will love it!

Fantastic food and very attentive service. This place deserves its own storefront, not a hole in the wall space in a seemingly deserted shopping center. They clearly take pride in their cuisine and preparation and they make the most of their quaint little restaurant. Some friends and I went for their lunch buffet and it was delicious! We all attempted to taste a little bit of everything and there wasnt a single dish I tried that I didnt love, particularly the chicken tikka masala and saag paneer! We will definitely be going back. Well done!

Me and my friend absolutely loved this restaurant ( and she is a very picky eater, especially since she lived in India for a while) Staff was welcoming and attentive. Ive tried many Indian restaurants before and I really enjoyed the taste of food in this one. Their buffet options are great, and for such tasty and high-quality meals their prices are lower than in many other Indian restaurants! I think it has a potential of becoming an upscale expensive place in the future. So, try it while its affordable! :D

The food and the service was really bad. Not one item we ordered was tasting good. Ordered chicken biriyani and received veg biriyani (more like veg pulav) and the person says its ok sir, you can take home! Onion kulcha and aloo paratha were no where close to their names. Chefs platter appetizer was another disaster - chicken pakora was raw and smelly, veggie ones still had the taste of flour. Chicken tandoori looked yum and we realized it was just food color after eating - it was very bland.

Good lunch buffett BUT after 1 to 1:30 pm things start to run out and they dont get filled back up, so go before then for the best selection. The food is delicious, but just a little warning for folks on low fat diets. This is traditional Indian cooking, so that means lots of butter and heavy cream to smooth out those spices. So this isnt low cal by a long shot. I dont have a gall bladder any more, so fat heavy meals dont agree with me too much. Its delish going down though!

This restaurant was pleasantly surprising! My work colleagues and I have wanted to give this place a try and we are so glad we did! The outside of the building looks pretty abysmal and we were feeling skeptical. Once inside however, it was much nicer! The variety of food on the buffet was good, was delicious, and lunch price is $11.99. We were all satisfied and will be back! The restaurant also seemed clean and wait staff professional and friendly.

This place is great! My bf and I were first skeptical about the location but, those usually end up to be the best places for some great authentic cuisine! So we tried it...and man they have great groupons and we have gotten to know the server and owner well. The service is a little different than you would expect but, they treat us great! And the food is wonderful. We love Indian food and theirs is right up there! I highly recommend.

Definitely hated it. Had been there twice before our awful experience, worth mentioning is all experiences were real bad. For vegetarians, you will get the same item made of paneer, be it paneer tikka (as an appetizer) or paneer makhani (as a side dish for roti). And you cant question them because (according to them) none complains. Is that a real response to what I asked?

3.5 Stars Overall (Food 4-Stars but service is 2-Stars) We are vegetarians and we always went during lunch time, their buffet has decent selection and nice food as well food is 4 stars but their service personnel they are just terrible they want you gone the moment you done with food or they decide it for you. Service is 2 stars.
