Overall, lovely restaurant, serving Indian Classics and many regional Indian dishes. I came here for the weekend buffet although items are limited. You could tell that there’s a lot of quality in the ingredients being used and he’s not cutting corners in the buffet. Naan is spectacular!Food:This review for the buffet food only. Overall good buffet they did cover a lot of vegetarian and non-vegetarian items. I did feel like there was not enough spice or lemon in some of the dishes. But what I did really appreciate was that the ingredients were very quality and it was not overly greasy. I have a feeling that the regular menu items when you order à la cart have more punchy flavors. Love that they kept butter, chicken, panipuri, and Pav bhaji in the buffet!Service:Service was top-notch. I came here on saturday for lunch. I never felt like I was unattended to . The waiters always were looking at our table and and making sure we got enough naan and water. The naan here is amazing!! All tandoor items are fantastic.Atmosphere:Clean, well kept, and has a warm environment in this restaurant. There is a free parking lot next to the restaurant.

No high top table or bar to hang out at so it's hard to really relax here.But it is a good place to sit down eat and leave.Traditional solid indian food with good decor and nice dim lighting.Overall it's pretty solid but hope to see a high top table and bar area soon !!!!!Thank you by the way for not overdoing the music. It was nice and quiet.

Service and Ambiance is excellent. The prices are reasonable and overall a good experience. Food is good quality wise but didn't hit out of the park on the taste front but you could feel the ingredients are good quality.

Very mediocre food. No taste, no flavors in anything we ate here but yes ambiance is good.Their biryani is a joke.

Good paneer masala and tandoori chicken. The food isn't noticeably any better than most other places, but the quality of the interior is definitely up a notch. Nice staff too.

We went for their weekend buffet, every thing was over and whatever was left was full of oil, no salt. Worst food I have ever had in my life.Edit1: we have explicitly asked to have a word with the chef or the manager but staff very conveniently said both of them are on break for next 3 hours. Staff was not supportive at all.

Great tasting dishes and solid service. Only negative is that portions are a bit small for the price.

I had the unfortunate experience of dining at this restaurant's buffet, and it was hands down one of the worst Indian buffets I've ever had. I'm genuinely disappointed, and here's why:Lackluster Buffet Selection:The buffet boasted a paltry variety of dishes, particularly non-vegetarian options. To be more specific, there were just 2-3 non-veg options available. It's unacceptable to charge customers for a buffet and offer such limited choices. This alone would deter me from ever returning.Unacceptably Long Wait for Refills:I had the displeasure of waiting for nearly 20 minutes for the staff to replenish the empty trays. It was incredibly frustrating to watch them move at a snail's pace while hungry customers stared at empty containers. It's as if they had no regard for the patrons' time or satisfaction.Tasteless Food:The food I encountered was not only prepared quickly but also lacked any semblance of flavor. It was as though the chefs threw ingredients together haphazardly without any care for the final result. Indian cuisine is celebrated for its rich, aromatic flavors, but this was a tasteless disappointment.Unreachable Management:When I inquired about speaking with the manager or chef to address my concerns, the staff provided nothing but excuses. They claimed that both the manager and chef were mysteriously unavailable. It's apparent that this establishment has no interest in addressing customer issues or improving the dining experience.The Worst Indian Buffet Ever:In conclusion, this is undoubtedly the worst Indian buffet I have ever had the misfortune of visiting. The combination of an extremely limited selection, agonizingly slow refills, tasteless food, and unresponsive staff left me with an unforgettable negative impression. I would advise anyone considering dining here to think twice and explore other options for a genuinely satisfying dining experience.
