I originally found this restaurant while shopping at Sam’s Club. Several times while in the parking lot I smelled the most wonderful curry smell. Eventually, I had time and stopped in for a menu. I told my wife and on the way back from Mount Dora I ordered one lamb curry and one chicken curry for takeout. They told me it would be ready in 20 minutes and that is when I arrived, it was ready. My wife got the lamb and I love good chicken curry. The curry was had wonderful flavor both the chicken and the lamb. I have ordered the same order more than a dozen time but trying the different levels of spicy. I like the Indian hot or the hottest curry. My wife likes the Spicy, but sometimes she orders the mild. I can not say enough about their curry. I learned to make chicken curry from an Indian woman in South Africa, whom I use to sell live chicken. Their curry is as perfect as you get.I took my wife for lunch and we tried the buffet. I really enjoyed the different types of Indian food they have available. The goat and chicken masala was awesome. There was no chicken or lamb curry on the buffet that day. I don’t know if they have it on the buffet or not. The restaurant is closed on Mondays.I recommend the chicken and lamb curries and the buffet. The buffet is a higher price on the weekend. I think it was 15 dollars during the week.

Usually get take away from them and it’s typically pretty good. Unfortunately not always correct. This past order I got a biryani with a paratha and got a roti instead which was disappointing. Nothing you can really do about it either. Unless dining in. It would be nice if they could double check all the orders that go out.

5 stars. Absolutely exceptional. I had the paper Masala dosa. The chutneys were the best I've ever had.

Hard to find authentic and good South Indian fare in Daytona. Although the location was out of the way, the trip was well worth the effort. The idly and dosa were excellent. As good as found in Iselin,NJ. Service was friendly, welcoming and attentive. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. Will visit again when I'm in the area.

I wish I could give less than 1 star on food and service. I'm not generally unkind, but this was once a 4 / 5 star restaurant for us until the last 3 visits, of which, the last 2 should never have happened. I chose this restaurant for my birthday and it was a HUGE let down. I asked if they could make vegetable masala. *the Jax location always does this, and does it well. * it came out in a brown sauce as opposed to a normally robust red. It tasted nothing like masala sauce, and I felt bad sending it back. Again, it came out EXACTLY the same (I suspect it was the same dish I sent back) when I mentioned it really wasn't any better, they sent a large/tall man to handle the situation not the woman who appeared in charge and took the food back the first time(I'm all of 5 foot nothing) I again explained this wasn't what I ordered and that I had the vegetable masala before, and it was smooth and bright red, and before, the sauce wasn't brown and clumpy like what they gave me. This man was completely indifferent, made some excuse and walked away, we couldn't help but to think they had hoped to "intimidate" us, and it only served to make us think even less of our experience. My husbands meal was also barely edible. We paid over $70 for a meal we couldn't eat, and it was obvious, no one cared, and had no intention to make it right, so now we enjoy good Indian Food elsewhere, and will never return to this location. I've never given any establishment this poor of a rating, but I suppose I've never been this disappointed with the food, service and attitude.

The service and the food were amazing and the atmosphere was really friendly definitely recommend trying, 5 stars doesn’t do it justice it needs like 10 stars. Staff was more than helpful when my wife needed to change her dish from medium to mild, much appreciated.
