We were the 1st customers in the door at open on a Sunday 11am.1. We were sat at a dirty table. The plexi glass top had several spots smeared on it and the white table cloth underneath was even dirty.2. The women's bathroom was disgusting and had no toilet paper or soap. This should have been checked before close the previous day and before open.3. The food was OK to fair depending on the dish. The Mango "Custard" was tasty but the thin consistency would have suited it better as a drink. The other 2 dessert like items were great.4. My husband was left with out water for long periods of time.Overall I don't recommend this place. The Chinese influence in what dishes they offer ruins the taste. Honestly, I wouldn't call this food Indian. More like Indo-ish Chinese. It is cheap though!Vegetarian options: There are a lot of vegetarian and vegan options in general in this type of cuisine.Parking: Plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: I saw kids there.
On either side of the coast it’s become a staple for ethnic food places to stop including beans and rice/rice and bread/ whatever the case is. It’s infuriating. This food was amazing, modestly price and came with rice and bread. Generous, awesome restaurant.

The quality of the food was excellent, although I'm usually hesitant about trying Indian cuisine outside of India. Surprisingly, their prices were very reasonable, as each dish comes with a choice of naan/roti/garlic naan AND rice. The staff was exceptionally friendly and polite.This place is a must-visit for anyone who enjoys Indian cuisine.J Approved

Place smells like a broken sewage pipe. 2/27. Waiting for take out is almost unbearable - how do people eat in here?

Food: - Chicken Makhani - Chicken Karahi - Veg Samosa - Garlic Naan I ordered the food through DoorDash. The positive is that for the price it was a large amount of food. The negative is that the food did not have any spiciest. To me, the food was bland. I had to add my own spices to accommodate the taste. I would've like each dish to have more flavor and spice. The garlic naan was plain no garlic. The only thing that was really up to par was the rice.

Food is great. PLACE SMELLS LIKE STRAIGHT SEWAGE - like poop pipe leaking. Do not eat in. Repeat - do not eat in.

The lunch buffet was very nice. We came here for work lunch and left feeling extra sleepy haha
It's not a place to have a buffet.Went this last Sunday 1/3/2024, butter chicken is horrible. Chicken biryani is chicken with some rice mixed up.Veg is a disaster .The only thing that is fresh is Naan .

we tried the sunday lunch buffett - it is the worst buffett in town, non-vegetarian items were bad as in bad, chicken was very dry and bland with no flavor and taste, mutton quality was bad, chicken 65 was sour and tangy (too much ketchup) which is not what chicken 65 is, it is supposed to be juicy and spicy, chicken biryani was just rice and chicken mixed together with chicken being very dry, the veg items were good - navratan korma, bhindi, saag paneer, naan, gajar halwa. Other buffett places are much better.

Very attentive service. Great food selections at a good price! Even the desserts are great!
I went for the lunch buffet. They offer you garlic or regular naan and they refill it. The lunch buffet has a lot of options and they make sure to refill before they run low. Some of the curries are spicy so be aware (I do not remember if they marked spice level). The menu seems to be different from time to time so what you had one day might not be there another day. They are always busy at lunch time (with so many corporate companies nearby). They are very attentive and make sure everything is okay. If buffets aren't your style, you can always order off the menu as well.
