We have always gone for the buffet, and it has been delicious every single time. Tonight we went for the menu and it blew us away. The service was amazing as always, very attentive and friendly staff. We ordered the vegetable sampler appetizer that came with a variety of veggies and paneer and two veggie entrees. We were so full but we still ordered dessert to go because it was so delicious. Very quaint experience, we still have much to try and will definitely be back.Update: this restaurant will be closing soon and we came here one last time before it does. Would still recommend if you have time to get here before Oct 31st. We will miss this place dearly.

The Tandoori chicken had a great presentation fajitas style and spicy, the chicken curry was excellent! The butter shrimp was amazing , and the garlic naan was great. Sorry no pics of dessert Pistachio cheesecake; India style which was great, and Excellent customer service. Will be back, and enjoy.

This restaurant is tucked away in the Home Depot parking lot. Plenty of parking available. When you walk in they will seat you. They gave us water with no ice and complimentary naan. We both got the Buffet and there was at least 12 options to choose from. It was nice that a couple of the dishes were spicy. There is also desserts across from the main dishes. Service was great, checked on us often and left a pitcher of water at the table. Would definitely return.

I had a delightful Indian food experience at this restaurant. The flavors were authentic, and the dishes were well-prepared. The service was prompt and attentive. My only minor critique is that I wish they offered a wider variety of vegetarian options. Nonetheless, it's a great spot for delicious Indian cuisine!

Stop on the way for the lunch buffet. It's $15.99 per person. Food is ok. However, It's feeling weird when the owner is around the counter, he will stare at your plate when you get foods. Lol.Goat curry has very little meat on purpose compared to chicken masala. We are the first customer here thou... Chai tea costs extra $3 with one refill in a small cup (we didn't know until the owner told us, our server didn't mention it). They served us a burned garlic nan with four pieces. We didn't complain or say anything until they ask. The owner was unhappy to hear but still took away the garlic nan. Few minutes later, he gave us a haft portion of nan... I'm feeling weird about this restaurant especially the owner. Will not coming back. Three stars is for your food, sir.

Maybe we showed up right at closing but the food wasn’t what I expected. Perhaps I have eaten on other Indian/Punjabi cuisine places that you expect to come out delighted by the experience. The waiter went out of his way to change dishes and offer us a Boucher to come back. Perhaps I

Great place! It was our first visit so my family and I had the buffet which offered a variety of tasty food options. I wanted to go because I was craving Indian food so I chose this place based on the reviews and my family agreed. We were impressed and will recommend this place. We definitely loved the garlic Naan, chicken tikka masala, rice and samosas along with the pakoras. Desserts were awesome. Staff is very nice and service was great. Best Indian food in town! We'll definitely be back.

This place is still the best, hands down. We always get the lunch buffet and it is delicious! The garlic naan is to die for. It is fluffy, a little crispy, buttery, and the best thing to go with the lunch buffet. They usually have butter chicken or chicken Tikka masala which is my go to, and a variety of other delicious dishes I love to sample. They had Vegetable Manchurian this last time and those were a new experience I enjoyed and they had some great Shahid paneer in the options. The service is always amazing. Rarely will my drink go empty nor will an old plate be left for too long. Kind and cordial, the staff is awesome and attentive. AND, their iced tea is amazing. I don't know what kind of tea it is but it tastes like it has more spices than just tea leaves and I can't get enough. I love this place, I cannot recommend it more.

The food is excellent, the staff is friendly, the restaurant is very well kept and clean. Honestly, for the price, you cannot meet it. It's the best Indian food in town.
