Ordered a curry chicken and a butter chicken. Took over an HR just to get the food. Had my lady waiting in the lobby for at least half an HR. Was very unapologetic and very unconcerned about the wait. Never again aweful service...

Great food--a generous buffet & big, nice dining room allows for a quick lunch with much better than fast-food atmosphere & cuisine. Favorites are fish pakoras, fresh naan, butter chicken, biriani & more

DO NOT GO!!! The carpet smell is awful . I didn’t feel like eating anything . Food taste is also not good!! Bhaji for pav bhaji does not have authentic taste. naan was too hard. Chicken tikka masala had bad chicken taste. I wish I could give 0

We celebrated our daughter's birthday party there, The food was good. There were a lot of vegetarian food options. Overall we are happy. The only thing which was not good was the restroom which was not kept

we attended a party here end of May 2023.While sitting on a chair; I fell down. The chairs back broke. Wow! Family n friends came running and one of the employees there only asked, are you ok? No apologies.Then one of my relatives saw another chair nearby which was about to break as well! Great! You people charge so much for everything but cannot afford to update your chairs or other things at the restaurant. The food was also not good. Not once did anyone bother to apologize about the incident.

I looked their food. Pretty good and I was full when I left. Only complaint I have is when I looked at the menu on Google the price said $13.95 for dinner buffet but when we saw the bill it said $46 and some change. Should have asked before I sat down. Fifty dollars for chicken and bread seems kind of steep for two people.

Worst experience. Stale overcooked food. We threw away food we got from there.Ordered take out fron their website but when I went to pick up food they said they missed my order. I asked them to provide food from their buffet instead of preparing my order but they insisted they'll have my original order ready in 10 minutes. Well, they did give me food in 10 minutes but it was stale and overcooked food.Never ever would recommend this place to anyone.

B Garden’s service and quality of food have been getting progressively worse since start of covid. Same dishes all the time, food served cold in buffet, STALE food left over from the day before, placed in several items of the lunch buffet, leftover food from the buffet served a la carte in the evenings.Dirty plates from buffet never bused from the tables. Owner don’t seem to care.

Mediocre weekend lunch buffet. All the dishes were ok-ok tasting. There were quite a large variety of dishes for vegetarians and non vegetarians. The fish pakora that day was horrible because of high baking soda in it. Chicken biryani and tandoori chicken were moderate tasting. The restaurant is very old so the ambiance is pretty boring and has this weird carpet smell all around. The service was bad (they took forever to get rotis to the table). Won’t be going back here.

Great Indian food at reasonable prices. Buffet on the weekends.

The restaurant has a wide spread of food there for the buffet. The food was very good. The restaurant was very busy so the service was not up to satisfaction. We were promised to have a server for our party but the server was so busy with another party that we had to go many times to call the server to help.

This place came with mixed reviews from our Indian friends. But as we had never been here, we thought we'd try. First of all, the place was VERY dark for a sunny afternoon. Overall a kind of dreary atmosphere. We were taken to our table with almost zero conversation. I think he might have said hello. I get it, it's a buffet, you don't go for the stellar and friendly service. Though the two people working there did seem to be much more friendly to the two other Indian people in the place. Whatever...We went at the beginning of lunch. Food is all served in chafing pots. But most of the food was only luke warm at best. Flavour wise it was bland and lacking in spice. They do have naan, but you will have to beg for it. Don't expect a second serving of small naan either. Four small pieces for two adults???Nit picky point, but no dessert??Overall, found the meal to be pretty lackluster for $22 for a lunch buffet with not a lot of options. Also, pricing for your meal was nowhere to be seen.They do however include a drink with your meal.I'd pass on this place. There are plenty of better Indian options in the area.

It is a great location, I have been to many parties here. The people are very nice and helpful. The food is really good authentic Indian dishes. I’m always looking forward to another party here!

This review has been long due. We have been going to Bombay Garden since 2007 although not very frequently but every single time they haven't disappointed with their taste which I will say is the best as compared to any other Indian buffets we have ever tried. Today we went for lunch buffet and everything tasted fresh and tasty. What is really impressive is even during covid they were able to keep their operations and didn't shut down like almost all other buffets and not only that maintained quality.Also impressive is the the choice of both veg and non-veg options. We are vegetarians so really enjoyed the veg buffet which had pao bhaji, chole bhature, matar paneer, saag paneer, dal makhani, aloo gobhi, sambar, aloo masala, hakka noodles, uttapam, mix veg pakoras and then also chat options. pao bhaji and chole bhature were both tasty. They also had rice kheer, carrot halwa and tea.Now our only complaint is they never ask or offer to bring naan so if you don't know they also serve naan, you may never ask for it. And when you do ask for it, it takes a long time to come, so I'll request to management, ask as soon as people are seated if they need naan or not and by the time we get food, naan should on the table.

Vegetarian options: At least 6-7 veg curries along with appetizers

Kid-friendliness: Lots of options which kids can have

Nice place to done out with family and friends. Lots of delicious Indian cuisine available here. If you are planning to have lunch, please visit early during afternoon as they close by 2.30 PM. Food was delicious, ambience was average, cost effective buffet options available as well.
