They have a decent buffet. I've been here multiple times because it's cheap and it's close by my house. I also work with people who really like this place, so it could just be me. Also, I put a lot of weight on a few items that most people probably don't care about. I love to put the tamarind sauce over my Shahi Paneer and rice. So the reason this place is only a 3 star is because I do not like their tamarind sauce at all; it's too watery and it's too sour. It is kind of dimly lit in the restaurant and it's a good vibe for a date night in the evening.

Normally love this place. Come maybe once a month or so (or just order take out) and normally enjoy it fine. This review is for the day I went only (3/15/24) but it was bad enough I wanted to say something. They made us wait almost thirty minutes for our food after bringing one piece of the entire meal. The food they brought is a normal favorite of mine but I like it on the more mild side. Aside from it being there way before my other parts of what I ordered and starting to cool…it was spicy! I mean way more than medium that I have had before.. was let down by this but I some how hoped maybe it was just the one piece of chicken I tried…my partner food comes and it’s ok but very spicy. This was ok because he didn’t specify but they also didn’t ask! At this point we have been at the restaurant 45 mins and barely had all the food at the table though they seemed to be not extremely busy..After properly trying my dish it was found to be so spicy I couldn’t eat it.. I just wanted to leave at this point and asked for check. They acted surprised and questioned what was wrong. Said wayyy too spicy. Asked for mild. Got a confused look and an offer to remake it. I said ok and then waited another 20 mins… someone brings out the ‘new’ dish on a skillet that normally is sizzling and too hot to touch.. not this time… spicy level not really reduced and I truly believe they did not remake it at all.Paid and left no tip.

Went for lunch while in town for work. Excellent food and service. Tailored my preferred spice level (mild) perfectly. Had the Lamb Madras and garlic Nan. Portion was plenty for lunch with some leftovers.

I have only eaten one time here for the Buffet and normally I try to stay away from restaurants that have buffets but the food quality was very good and I am very pleased with their good customer service. I only rate a 3 because I have only eaten one time but I would like to return from my good experience here ?I also do deliveries through uber, and the employees and owner, always very nice people.
