Food was pretty good. Ordered Paneer Tikka Masala, although not 100% authentic( which is the case with most places in the US to the extent I have tried), the taste was good. Gobhi paratha and naan was pretty good. Would definitely go back to this restaurant.

Used to be friends with the owner, nice guy. Curry recently is more like soup...very watery. First time thought we were unlikely, third time I called and complained to Sunny, the owner who seemed to think that offering to cook it again was the answer : |

Quality of the food has definitely gone down over the last year.We ordered take out last night and I was definitely looking forward to it. We have small kids and we ordered 4 dishes, 3 mild and one medium spicy. When I got home every dish was hot, like on a scale of 1-100, it was 100. Veggies in the Vegetarian biryani tasted like they were from a can.Also, the lassi we ordered was not in the bag. Pretty disappointing take out.

We went for buffett and for each person it was $19.99. Their food wasn’t worth it. We felt the food menu wasnt planned properly. We took the vegetarian choices only and 3 out of 7 items were of potato. The naan was underdone, you could feel the stickiness of the dough and even after looking for attention from the people there, no one came. The water wasnt re-filled, the food trays were kind of empty and not refilled for 25 minutes. We waited for tea to be refilled and had to wait. We went there at 1:10pm and thst’s too early for the food to get over. Also the kid was charged full price.

WOOOOW! I could not believe this place.Cost: After tax it was just under $20, plus a tip (and every person in there contributes, working so hard...and STILL managing to also check on guests. Taste: Off the charts...if you read my reviews, hubby and I love Indian. But this was so perfect for me.I had: Butter chicken, tikka paneer, channa a masala, rice, naan, and rice pudding. Every dish was perfection.Favorite: The paneer might take it but everything else is a close second!Naan: Perfect. Just the right balance, not too thin, not too thick. Sft but still that nice chew. Clean: staff constantly cleaning tables and counters.Buffet: open seven days a week for lunch and it was constantly being refilled. Friendly/welcoming/warm/inviting: That sums up my visit. Everyone in there was nice, and seriously, you can just tell the guy at the desk is genuinely a nice person, the kind that would help a stranger.

The Chana masala is my fav vegan options. Ask for the garlic naan with no butter and it will be vegan. The Gobi Manchurian is a must try!!

When you walk in you get a big whiff of what is to come. They decor is a little interesting, but I think it adds to the experience. My god I love the lunch buffet. They give out free naan and water with the buffet. I always try eat as much as possible till I am physically ill or cannot move. Lil expensive though.
