For the options on the buffet they were pretty decent, but I think that the spice level they were trying to maintain for American pallets instead of making the food exactly the way they would if they were making it for their own family. I prefer my food to be authentic to what they make at home or back in their own country, I don't like to have them try to cater to their biased opinion that Americans don't like spice. The man at the register, who I'm assuming is the owner, was absolutely super sweet and was on top of making sure everything was clean and taken care of.

I decided to give it a try because the sign on the door said a beverage was included with the lunch buffet. The man who helped me was super rude and unhappy. I oaid the $14 and inquired about the drink included . He said no drink included. The sign even says on the buffet line choice of drink included. The food was good, but I will mot be back. This is false advertisement. Also, everyone sitting in the restaurant had one of the three beverages that is included on the table. Why he singled me out and ripped me off is beyond me. He should be happy he has customers, but je chooses to ne rude. TAKE THE SIGNS DOWN IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO INCLUDE A CHOICE OF BEVERAGES FOR ALL CUSTOMERS

This halal restaurant is serving buffet in Ramadan for lunch. Not really serving the Muslim community i wouldn't support such business by a Muslim.

Response to the owners comment.

Read again I said halal restaurant. You are the one who advertise that you serve halal. So my review is about the lunch buffet which doesn't serve Muslim community at all bcuz we don't eat lunch this month. My review will help many not to waste their time.
And you better learn customer service instead of arguing with every negative review on Google maps.
And your reviews say it's owned by a Bangladeshi Muslim. Which is why I said I wouldn't support a restaurant owned by a Muslim and is not serving the community in this month. If you're not Muslim then don't worry focus on vegetables

I used to love the food here until I got a really bad keema samosa. The meat was super dry. It didn’t have much flavor except for an off putting after taste. On the other hand, most of the other items on the menu are pretty good to decent. It’s just this one bad experience ruined it for me.

Iowa is the last place I’d expect to find good Indian food tbh. Place was recommended by The Iowa Gallivant, and did not disappoint. Got the lamb vindaloo and garlic naan and was very satisfied. Some of the best vindaloo and naan I’ve ever had, hands down. 10/10 recommend!
