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.
