They have the best Indian lunch buffet!! Limited options, but they’re all amazing and filling. Be careful if it’s your first time going, because it’s addicting!

This place is so much better than the reviews give it credit for. The food is phenomenal! Everytime. The setting is not great but we always get it to go since we live so far away. There is no Pakistani/Indian food that compares in the area.

This place was great! Not only was the food great, but the lovely family that ran the place and their fun children really brightening up the atmosphere.If I were to say anything productive, I’d say that the tables could have been cleaner and fan seemed to be a little old as well and could use fixing up. We loved the food and our time there!! 100% recommend!!

I love Indian food, and eat at Indian restaurants at least twice a month in my travels. This place has a grimy little buffet, and when I decided to skip the buffet (which did not look sanitary or appetizing) and order from the menu, I was told anything I ordered from the menu would just be taken from the buffet! I asked which items were vegan and was offered an egg curry and a chana masala made with yogurt (but they said it was cooked yogurt, so that would be fine...?!?).

Perfect place for budget friendly Indian thali options. We had buffet and all the dishes were authentically delicious specially their eggplant curry.

After ordering the tikka masala, butter chicken, garlic naan, and rice I have lost my faith in this restaurant. The masala shot me back into third grade and is reminiscent of lunchable pizza sauce. I should've ordered NONE of the garlic NAAN. It was burnt, and the garlic was devoid of all flavor and natural texture. They put the Butt in Butter chicken. It was a yellow slurry of confusion and sadness. I had high hopes for the rice... my hope was murdered... it was as if they cooked each grain individually at different times throughout the year. Flavors and temperature were both erratic and underwhelming.

This place is highly very very EXPENSIVE when compared to portions and also other classy restaurants.... I asked him if they have any sweets, the owner replied I have only sugar.. lol.. that's a joker's answer... They advertise lot of food dishes and sweets but they don't carry anything.... Today was my first and last time at this place...

Lunch price was $18 per person with one canned soda.There were four dishes served, and about five other dishes which were empty and not refilled during the 45 minutes I was there.

So far I love this place!! My first experience trying Indian cuisine. I adore the tikka masala. The cheesy naan is great too!!! I've been in twice this past week. ? definitely give it a try! I gave 4 stars because I do have more to experience and customer service could be just a tad better. Only once I really talked to one of the guys behind the counter did I get a smile.
