This is my favorite place to eat. I could eat this food daily if I could afford daily take-out food.

I called them 2hours before ifthar time asking if they have buffet and they replied that for a single person no reservation is required and it’s a walkin.When I went there an old guy came and he told me in a rash way that it’s reservation based and it’s Ramadan time. Even I am a Muslim and I am fasting and I pretty well know what Ramadan is. Just worst service.Any restaurant can make the food tasty and run the restaurant. But please take care of the customer properly and in the holy month of Ramadan, show some humanity towards the one who fasts and whether it is a Muslim or non-Muslim, behave with them equally. And mention everyone on the call as it is reservation based.

For 22.50 this buffet was very disappointing, the food had no taste. Maybe this was their off day. I would love to give benefit of doubt. The gulab jamoon was good, saving grace. The chicken tikka masala tasted so off, definitely not tasty. This place is not authentic in taste at all. Chicken biryani is just rice with chicken. The reason I gave 3 stars is because of service and atmosphere, food is not delicious.

Food was simply bland. I tried all the items in buffet and didn't find anything worth mentioning. Infact, I heard the word 'bland' from one section of the crowd who had just ate. Later It made sense to me on why they mentioned it. Mini Gulab jamuns were the only consolation.

Food is good and the restaurant is good...but only one issue was the old uncle who probably works at the restaurant kept hovering around our table ....at first I thought he was moving around to help but it turns out he was making sure that we are not bringing more food from the buffet because he thinks that we are gonna waste the food...it's a good thought but unfortunately was very uncomfortable for us because we became very conscious about him and ate the kheer which we didn't like at all...

Great food, great selection, friendly staff. Had the lunch buffet and was blown away with both the taste and the selection. The tea needs some working on.

Came here on a Friday night and had their Buffet. We really enjoyed the selections and liked special seasonings that gave a nice touch. The people took away our dishes almost as soon as we finished the plate which is quite impressive. There is not much decorations that says Indian. But food is great!

Being a vegetarian we couldn't find any good option, the only think we eat after spending $31 was rice, lentils, some potato and cauliflower. And its more of Pakistani Cuisine rather than Indian. Plus they don't have much vegetarian option so, I conclude that it is not vegetarian friendly.

Unfortunately, buffet food was really bland. As an indian myself, I understand I may have higher standards, but compared to other restaurants in the city like Bawarchi (down the road), House of India, and India Palace, this place really underperformed. Owner/Manager was really kind and atmosphere was just okay, but really sad that food was to plain. Tried almost everything in the buffet (chicken tikka, daal, goat korma, aloo gobi, channa, naan, tandoori chicken, kebab, gulab jaamun, biryani, chicken kadai). naan was passable, chicken kadai was okay, and daal was average, but rest were poor quality. would not recommend. Maybe only buffet is bad and ordering food is better.

I've been looking for an Indian buffet, but most are lunch only. This one also has a dinner buffet! I had the goat korma, chicken Tikka masala, chicken kebab, and kheer rice pudding. The korma was so tender and similar to a pot roast. The Tikka masala was decent and not spicy. The chicken kebab was made of ground meat and similar in texture to tortang(meat pancake). The rice pudding was actually blended and smooth, which is very different than the usual where the grains are still clearly formed, but still very delicious. I will definitely be back for the buffet in the future!
