This is truly a hidden gem tucked away in the quiant little town of Ponoka. Hands down the BEST indian food I have ever had yet! I had the indian dinner buffet, and there were options galore. Something there for everyone. There are plenty of meat options and equally as many vegetarian options. Everything was hot (temperature), exploding with amazing flavor, and utterly divine to the last bite! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff honestly make you feel like you were invited over for dinner. The prices were completely reasonable and fair. If you love indian food, then this is a place you can not miss. I will be making the drive from Red Deer just to dine here again in the near future. Don't sleep on this amazing establishment. You will not be disappointed. Just disappointed that you didn't go and try it for yourself!6/5 stars!!!Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options to fit all needs and requirements. The staff is very accommodating.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of western friendly options for the kids!

This place is terrible!!! Do not go!!! How it has a 4.8 star review is a joke.First of all took over 10 min to seat us when there were 5 tables only with patrons and no one in line. It took 15 min to receive water and we were not asked if we would like to order or try the buffet. We decided to do the buffet because if we had ordered, I’d probably been there till the next day before I was served.Secondly upon being seated there is a sign stating “naan bread will be brought to your table” we never received any.We were never approached to order a beverage, we drank the tap water that was served to us.The buffet was disgusting. The chicken was hard as rock - I wouldn’t give this to my dogs.The buffet was not clearly labelled or refilled, only sauces left in the bins.There were no desserts in the dessert area.This was terrible service and food. I do not recommend!!!

Fantastic food as always at the Pavilion. The Butter chicken and the herb and garlic Naan bread are always on my go to list, but I haven't had one dish I didn't enjoy. The owner and staff are fabulous hosts, thank you so much. Very happy we have this wonderful restaurant in our community.
