came here for dinner after work and the food was a good comfort meal! always love a mango lassi!! creamy and refreshing! we got chicken samosas to start. they came to the table HUGE! the samosas were good but lowkey the inside was giving taco meat. overall, the other foods were good but nothing notable. the service here was alright. the flower decor inside are nice.

This is our go to for Indian food. I like that it's convenient because it's close to my place. We usually order the same things and it always hits the spot. Their butter chicken is so good! I like the palak paneer, samosa and their biryani. Recently, we tried the lamb kebabs and they were good as well. We usually order takeout but I've also eaten here a few times and the food doesn't disappoint.

Maybe we didn't order the right things but our experience was just so-so compared to other peoples reviews. The dosa was not as expected. The ones I've had in the past are crispy, this was soft and mushy, almost like a doughy burrito. And the chutney selections were just ok. Paneer Makhni was supposed to be in a creamy tomato sauce but was not that creamy. Kind of watery. Similar situation with the Tikka Masala. The best dish was the garlic naan. I wish I got more of that.

We found our server, Parul to be extremely polite, she suggested us the food we should try and the Lychee Paneer and Malai Chicken we had were delicious. The service and food were both great :)

Great food! Lots of different and delicious flavors. We came in as a very large group without a reservation and they accommodated us! Service was good, but the food was great! Their masala chai is out of this world! Good size portions too.

Food was goodWe ordered gin and club sodaI was shocked to see a charge for coke on the bill we asked about the charge and he said it was for the soda…and they also charged for a extra dish which he took off after I addressed it.Never in my life have I been charged for a drink with extra separate charge for club soda!!!1 shot of gin was $12 and $3 for club sodaUnfortunately because of them being greedyI won’t be coming againDefinitely check your bill!

The food is just OK, ok....still went there because I was craving some chaat, went in exactly at 3 pm, doors were open, and people were seated and dining. The waiter came in and pointed at the sign on window, saying we close at 3 pm. I said the doors were open, and it's barely just 3pm, can't you just take a to-go order? He said no. I was shocked at the customer service! Wow... if a store is closing and a last customer just walks in because the doors were still open, you don't kick the customer out! Way to go, 8elament, you just lost another long-term customer!

I've always seen 8Elements passing this plaza and now I finally got to try it! My boyfriend and I came on a Friday night. It was packed so I already could tell this was going to be good. We ordered the masala dosa, lamb kebob and classic butter chicken with basmati rice. The masala dosa was BOMB and it was so BIG! This was my first time trying it so I'm not sure if this is the usual size but it was big for us! We enjoyed the 4 different sauces. My boyfriend favorite was the coconut (white one, second to the left) and mine was the last one on the far right. The lamb kebob was also delicious! It was cooked well and I always love it with the mint chutney. Of course, the classic butter chicken was classic! This place is definitely my go-to Indian spot. The prices aren't too bad either!

The worst thing I have ever eaten is Indian food and I am a fan of that food but this is useless because they sell rice that is not Indian and poorly prepared food.

The food is soo bad. I ordered egg and chicken fried rice and in that I got plastic pieces, my husband ordered pulka and it was soo hard to eat. There is no hygienic. I will not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Great Indian cuisine that is not too spicy for those wanting to try without the risk of consequences. Great selection and extremely flavorful. The lunch buffet offers a great spread of veg and non-veg items.

The buffet here is worth the money as they have a variety of menu options to choose from. The service is good and restaurant is clean. The ambiance is decent too.

Boneless lamb biryani tasted good but was very oily. Chaat samosa was okay. Nothing extraordinary.
