Passable lunchtime buffet. Butter chicken minus any detectable chicken. Dal makhini a little bland, more salt maybe? Aloo mattar too sweet, too much jaggary?Most items would invite a spoon and a little bowl but none were to be found. Hard to eat runny curries with a fork.Cavernous super dark interior. It was so dark I could hardly see my plate. They've even unscrewed half of the 40watt bulbs. Almost amusing, reminds one of those darklit AM hangover bars.

On Saturday, May 6, 2022, I ordered my usual stuff from the menu for take out. 1. The time I placed the order was at 11:30 when they opened and I was told the food would take between 20 to 25 min. I told them that I can pick up at 12:00 noon. To my surprise when I arrived at 12:05 pm, the food was ready for pickup. This never happened before in the past as the food usually took a minimum of 45 min even though they always tell the customers 20-25 min. 2. Once I got home, it was when I realized the inconsistency of spiciness as I requested to have everything medium spicy. The Chicken Tikka Masala was super spicy and very-very salty. The food tastes like if someone got mixed up between teaspoon and tablespoon. 3. I specifically ordered a 'whole' tandoori chicken which I had to paid extra $5 for it. When I open the container, there were 1 piece of breast cut in half to form 2 pieces, 3 legs, and 3 thighs (just when do chicken comes with 3 legs and 3 thighs). To me, it is very "DISHONEST" to cheat the customer like that especially when we have to pay extra for a whole chicken but instead, they just use leftover parts to assemble the dish by weight and not by completeness. If they can control and be consistence with the use of spices, the food is actually pretty decent. That said, I won't ban them from my list of Indian restaurants but next time when I order another Whole Tandoori Chicken, I will definitely open it before I leave to make sure all parts are complete per order. I understand nothing goes to wasted in restaurant business concept but as a customer who pays full price for any dishes shall not be required to compromise without being notified especially when the food was meant for take out. Maybe the thinking behind this unprofessional business practice was that once the customer's is at home and hungry, even a mistake like this is not a big deal because the other half of chicken breast was compensated with a piece of leg and thigh. Since I am not ok by such practice, I can't recommend anyone to this restaurant.

Tasty and affordable food. Used to have more selections in the past lunch buffet. Overall, great dishes.

The worst meal I have ever had.Fish pakora was really dry and hard and the best part of the meal.Mixed tandoori has no shrimp, it was blend and tasteless.Vege pakora was awfully prepared with a thick batter and mostly potatoes.Lentil soup had no salt and absolutely lacking in flavor.It tasted like a meal thrown together by someone who hates to cook. I regret wasting $75.00 on a meal that I could not eat.

The quality of the food here is not good! We ordered mixed tandoori plate, and the chicken just tasted off, we didn't eat it. The fish was also a bit strange, we didn't eat that either. And the lamb in the platter tasted better but was some weird sausage type of thing, ground lamb. We also tried saag paneer (spinach and cheese). Much better than the meat, we ate it, but doesn't compare to the quality of saag paneer dishes at other Indian restaurants in the area. Maybe we got VERY unlucky......but based on my experience i would not recommend this restaurant.

The food here was OK, but the sanitation was awful! There were stains all over the walls, the carpet was dirty, and the table my party was seated at even featured a used napkin! My friend wanted to try the lunch buffet here, so we ate here despite my reservations about the sanitation, and as noted the food was OK (but not great) and seemed to have been handled with better care than the cleaning. I would not recommend this place however, and don't intend to visit again.

Food is great but service is always horrible. They always close early for dine in even when the restaurant is full of customers. I wish I could eat hear but the service makes that impossible
Alan B.
Terrible service. I've been coming here for years and tonight they told us to wait out in the cold. and then they told us we cannot eat in the restaurant as they had a party that evening And they didn't feel like sanitizing the tables. Never again

One of the worst Indian restaurant in Santa Rosa ever seen ..never want to go back we order artichoke pakora didn't get mint sauce .order 3 naan got 2 naan and order chicken sahi biryani got with no raita..guys please do not ever try anything from here ..you just have to pay your money for nothing..waste of time n money .
Aloo paratha does not come with any dipping yogurt or pickle. They didn't even have any yogurt to be ordered seperately. They are upfront about it. Extremely unfriendly and rude front desk staff. I would not recommend this restaurant. Very disappointed.
Kishan Patel
It was okay buffet with very limited options.They seems to have a staff shortage so service was pretty delayed and not too smooth.Not recommend but if you don't have other option then definitely okay to test.6.7 out of 10.

Take out is fine but I wouldn't try the buffet again. Much more bland and the chicken was dry.

I absolutely love their food I always get everything on time whether I’m coming to eat or pick up all the servers are very nice to me and give me the most hospitality. The atmosphere is very welcoming and again the food is delicious especially the butter chicken it’s always the correct amount of seasoning which is very important for me. The lunch buffet is also really good it’s a good price 1199 for all you can eat and I love the set up of the restaurant and they mango lassi are fire!

The food was not good. Waited a longer than quoted.Lettuce browned, containers poorly sealed and spilled all over my shirt. One dish was inedible and the fried food tasted like the fryer had not been cleaned in weeks.
