I LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH! I usually get delivery and I’ve been to the restaurant a few times! I enjoy the atmosphere and it reminds me of the old school Indian restaurants in NYC. The food is stunning and I have loved everything I’ve had here! The Paneer Makhani is out of this world and so if the chicken Tikka Masala, Korma and butter chicken were sooooooo tasty! And also that soup that I can never spell right… ALL DELICIOUS! The people that work there are very friendly!...

Only ate here once, came for the lunch buffet while visiting.

Service was great and everything on the buffet was good. They had some good veggie options and some spicy stuff as well.

My only complaint about the buffet was the naan. It was more like pita bread, thick and doughy, which I didn’t care for. Most the regulars were having the buffet and ordering naan on the side, so maybe it’s better that that way, thinner and crisper when it’s...

Wow! We read reviews on this establishment and most were positive and a few weren’t helpful. I was most interested in the food quality, and the taste. Truly Indian food prepared by a chef who knows how to cook. Very large portions. We enjoyed the garlic naan bread, along with butter chicken. Since I read reviews one entry suggested a vegan dish called Chana Marsala ( vegan). Wow I said, really delicious. We’re going back. Treat yourself, don’t fret over the lower reviews.
