This place was great! Not only was the food great, but the lovely family that ran the place and their fun children really brightening up the atmosphere.
If I were to say anything productive, I’d say that the tables could have been cleaner and fan seemed to be a little old as well and could use fixing up. We loved the food and our time there!! 100% recommend!!
Love this restaurant! Don't get here much now that I'm out of state, but was really happy it was open on my way through town today! Good buffet choices. Great chai tea
Recommended for fresh, authentic masala dishes made in the restaurant.
Had Butter Chicken today, and I see why local college students prefer it.
So far I love this place!! My first experience trying Indian cuisine. I adore the tikka masala. The cheesy naan is great too!!! I've been in twice this past week. 😅 definitely give it a try! I gave 4 stars because I do have more to experience and customer service could be just a tad better. Only once I really talked to one of the guys behind the counter did I get a smile.
I've been here many times. Today someone ordered take out from the buffet line. There was only 3 options for food. Extremely disappointing because I was trying to introduce someone to Indian food. Good food but no selection. Maybe don't allow people to use the buffet as a take out thing. She didn't make us pay and considering the no selection I wouldn't have.
I ordered chiken kaurma and chiken biryani. Please do not waste your money at this place. There were no taste in any of my food. It was blend and without any spicies. It felt like I was eating chiken and just rice. Feel like most of the reviews are fake. But any how don't even think about it.
Perfect place for budget friendly Indian thali options. We had buffet and all the dishes were authentically delicious specially their eggplant curry.
Finally got to try the buffet today. There was a ton of different vegetables, curries and chicken dishes. The next thing I want to try here is the mutton biryani. :)
