This is my favorite spot for Indian food. My wife loves it too. We've had a la carte and the buffet. My wife first tried it at work- her indian coworkers ordered it for a team lunch.The buffet is really good. There is a wide selection and the food is fresh. They always refill the food promptly. My favorite is the tikka masala. My wife loves the butter chicken. There is also some indian dessert, but we've never tried it.When ordering a la carte, we typically order the lamb curry, orka and onions, and naan. There are two sizes so be sure to clarify which one you want. The price is fairly expensive compared to other places but its worth it. I brought food over to my mom's house for sunday dinner and everyone loved it. There is plenty of seating- booths and tables. The place is fairly clean. The bathroom is super small so make sure you go before coming in- its not the cleanest bathroom.

Fantastic food. Very kind and friendly staff. Very efficient and food is prepared in a very timely manner. Above all, as first stated, the food is INCREDIBLE! I would highly and definitely recommend this establishment.

Best Indian food I have had but I am far from an expert on Indian food.All the food we have had has been takeout and we have not eaten in the restaurant which I must admit did not appear overly inviting. Service was not a strong point either but it was not something I was looking for or expecting.We usually order the following:Chicken Tikka Masala (uses breast meat & spiciest of the dishes)Butter Chicken (uses thigh meat)Chana Masala (chickpeas)Tandoori ChickenAloo Gobi (potatoes & cauliflower)Okra Bindhi MasalaGarlic NaanWe also have ordered the Shahi Paneer but found it too sweet.

Really good buffet! I'm going here at least once a month. Food is always fresh and tasty. Everyone are so polite and smelling. I like to show the place to new friends, chill vibe and good food. Definitely recommend!

Still one of my favorites. Years ago I found out about this place from a chef friend who described the food as "a grandmother must be in the kitchen cooking."I've been coming here for years it's always great! Casual service and easy for takeout. You can easily order online. For dining in they have the full menu and a buffet that is popular especially at lunch time.Dinner buffet is $17.99. They rotate the items and include a dessert. Always served with fresh naan bread. Great value for a tasty meal. I recommend ordering takeout online rather than calling it is much easier.

Reminded me of the first restaurant I had reviewed on Yelp. It was a small standalone restaurant like a little house serving killer food but with very few customers and I wanted to spread the word around to help them. This place is similar, it's right next to small store and place seems kind of sketchy but we still decided to go in as reviews were good. They had the typical Indian Punjabi food: rich gravies, red tandoori chicken, piping hot naans served tableside, pakodas and small samosas, some chutneys, pulao rice and a dessert. Restaurant was empty when we went for a weekday lunch buffet but slowly customers walked in. Mostly single men who are looking for a decent meal at a reasonable price. Every item was good if not great, all the gravies were extremely rich thanks to heavy cream. This is the typical Indian buffet restaurant one would find across the country thanks to the early settlement of people from the Punjab province of India. The Indian restaurant scenario is changing atleast in the bayarea though due to the diversification of the Indian population.

Ever since the pandemic took away my local favorite Indian buffet spot, I've been on the hunt for a decent Indian place to fill the void... I'm glad I finally stumbled upon my new go-to Indian buffet. I'm pretty easy to please-- as long as the butter chicken and garlic naan are good, I've no complaints. We came for a weeknight dinner around 7pm and this small garage storefront shop was easy to pass by. I'm glad that we got there at a good time because all the food was still fresh. This hole-in-the-wall has a decent amount of seating, the standard buffet options, and is quite clean. Food: As for the food, we tried most of their curries and really enjoyed how they weren't too heavy. The standard butter chicken was good and the meat was tender and flavorful. My friend also enjoyed the paneer version of this. The dal and palak paneer are also not to be missed. The tandoori chicken was a little on the salty side for my taste but the flavors are good. We also ordered their garlic butter naan which was very soft and paired perfectly with the curries. I also enjoyed how tender the goat curry was and didn't have a strong gameyness to it. As an appetizer we ordered the pani puri which was bursting with flavors. It was my first time trying this and it was fun to eat. Overall, this place fulfilled my butter chicken cravings and I'm glad they offer a buffet because I can easily go through 3 plates when eating here. The service was quick, the place was clean, and the food was pretty decent for the price. Parking: It's easy to miss this place while driving by, but they have a small lot on the side of the building and street parking as well.

For $18 a person for the buffet, unless you are a very big eater, and can really pack it away, this price I feel is too expensive. My family and I are fairly small eaters, we get full pretty quickly, and when we go out to eat we have food we bring home in doggie bags that we just cannot finish. At most buffet's you cannot do that, and food goes wasted. This buffet is tiny, only a very few options, and signs everywhere regarding not wasting food. I'm all for people not wasting, I hate seeing people waste food, so this did not bother me, although we did feel weirdly compelled to overeat and get stuffed so we wouldn't leave any food on the table... The food choices were good, with chicken and goat meat as well as vegetarian. I liked most of what I got, and I enjoyed the dessert option, although it's definitely not the best Indian I've ever had. However, I more than likely would not come back because I feel it's over-priced for what you get, and there are tons of indian options in the Bay Area i'd prefer to try.
Had a craving for Indian cuisine and came here on a Friday evening. This place hit the spot! Although it was dinner time and busy the servers were very attentive and we got seated right away. The food was delicious and authentic Indian cuisine. Everything came out quickly and really enjoyed the experience. Would definitely dine here again.

From the outside this restaurant does not look impressive. It looks like a strip mall convenience store, BUT.....once you step and see and smell the AWESOME BUFFET for dinner, I was in food haven. The buffet was not only delicious but the staff was so friendly and accommodating. They were not stingy, and told me to go through the line again, and get as much food as I want! I will go again, as I think this place does not have adequate advertising. I heard some other diners saying they only knew about this place because someone recommended it. Try it, you'll LIKE IT!

Very decent priced buffet with great time offering the option everyday except Sunday. Small selection of food but it's always fresh and they have all the most common dishes you could want.

Butter chicken is meant to be BUTTERY, not watery. It was practically like a watery soup NOT curry consistency at all. My Indian friends who've tried this place say the same thing and have all gotten sick afterwards. You need to do better.

Long time customer here. I just love their goat curry. I rotate between indian buffets in South Bay and I find the goat curry here pretty good. Not much of a fan of the lamb/goat curry mix that they serve instead of the pure goat curry every once and a while. Everyone who works there have always been really friendly.
