Just wanted to let everyone know that this place has closed and will be changing to a different restaurant so don't try to come here like I did, only to discover that it is CLOSED!

Delicious food you won't find anywhere else (except maybe India?) at a very reasonable price. Truly enjoyed eating here. The chef is also a very sweet person and community builder who takes great pride in his food. If you're in San Mateo don't miss this place!

A group of us came here for lunch and everything we ordered was delicious! Goat Korma Butter Chicken Chicken Tikka Masala Palak PaneerTandoori ChickenTandoor Grilled Kababs Garlic and Butter Naan Service was great and they gave us complimentary Mango Laci, which was also delicious and a great way to end our delicious meal. We'll definitely go back and try their buffet. Thank you!

Great buffet food! Awesome chicken masala , chicken homestyle curry and paneer . Oddly, its limited to ONE naan per person. Or ONE paratha. Never had this at a buffet before . Advice: for lunch buffet come early- else you actually have to ask for refills.

This is an amazingly exceptional spot - food was absolutely flavorful: butter chicken and tadka dal were damn good. People are nice and you can tell they love cooking and serving.

Good food and good service. We had some kebabs, butter chicken ,garlic Naan, goat biryani and mango Lassi. Everything tasted good. The Garlic Naans were a bit too crispy for us since we like them soft. Overall good place to have Indian food

Don't come if during buffet hours if you're looking for a specific item. They will push you towards the buffet so that they don't have to put in the extra time in cooking what you want if it's not on the buffet menu. Not only did they try to convince us it was on the buffet menu (which it was not), whatever it was only had half a scoop of meat protein left. They pushed us towards the buffet menu without telling us when it ended. Whatever - we were just trying to eat at this point. 8 minutes after sitting down.... They tell us we have 5 minutes left before they start wrapping up the buffet. $18 a person. I usually have a good experience but I have to say I won't be eating during buffet hours again.

Randomly popped into this place and we will definitely be back! We were talked into the buffet and I'm so glad we did. Every dish was flavorful, different, and delicious - hit the spot YUM. They also brought out fresh naan for us. My top three flavors from the evening: butter chicken (classic but so good), the lamb, and the "house" chicken. But everything was wonderful and we will be regulars from here on out!

Currently offering buffet for lunch and dinner. Everything is fresh and flavorful taste. The chef Ronni is an excellent cooks and very friendly personality. He made sure all of his customers are happy after each meal. Make sure to try his chai tea complimentary from the restaurant. Chai tea is so good I have to ask for a cup to go. Lol
Terrible and rude service. Wouldn't honor a deal they put on on Instagram. I was very excited to try this place and Won't be coming back. Ignored us for a while before taking our order when the place was empty. I can go on and on and on. Oh. Food was just ok. They also forgot our order and came to ask us what it was. Once I started to clarify, the guy just brushed us off and said "got it, got it" Is there was a negative star option it would be here.

I was served the least flavorful Indian food ever! Oh, there was plenty of meat and rice but no vegetables in my order. The price was modest. I won't go back.

Great little hole in the wall in San Mateo! Super friendly and welcoming employees. Reasonable prices. Tasty food and free flowing chai!

This place is run by 3 guys and they are all amazing human - I was there today for lunch and they made so much efforts to make feel welcome. Now, let's talk about the food - I like service but food wins at the end of the day. I have been to many Indian restaurants - go figure - but very few can stand out. The butter chicken and tadka dal had a different kind of flavors; really stood out. All items are good but I had to talk about these two because of the exceptional flavors. Vegetable platter was superb as well. I am definitely coming back.

The food here is fresh and yummy. They are very customer friendly. We ordered Dahi Kebab, Paneer Tikka wrap and Potato and Peas Kulcha. I would say all three items were tasty and flavorful.
