Current Review Under new management, It took 15-20 mins to take our order. Only table had customer. Food wasn’t that great. Mix veg did not test good, Sambhar was darker they must used different spices, it was ok. Coconut chutney was too watery. Chole bhature was not good. It got replace but took our plate and bringing it back. Who would do that that. Either you go get the whole new order or get chole in different bowl. In short, QUALITY AND SERVICE IS NOT AS EXPECTED.

This is pure Vegetarian with great appetizers - Chili Panner, Gobi Manchurian, Baby Corn, Punjabi Entree- Mix Veg Sabzi, Panner Makhni, and All variety of Dosa. Manager name Prabhu and his staff are great. Service is great and I would recommend this place to others who wants to try new restaurant.

I used to visit Shree Restaurant many times and really liked their food, especially the variety of vegetarian options. The Soya Tandoori Tikka is amazing! However, I recently tried their buffet, and it was disappointing. They only had 3-4 different curries, rice, and one sweet dish, all of which were below average and cold. I was shocked to be charged $18 for that quality. I usually enjoy their other menu items, but the buffet is not for me. They are also starting to offer non-vegetarian options soon, so it will no longer be an all-veg restaurant. Overall, it’s a great place, but I think the prices should be lower for what they offer.
We were there yesterday for the Dosa Fest, along with our good friends. We were seated right away, no wait. The manager, Prabhu, is a pleasant, courteous gentleman who took very good care of us. The dosas were excellent, and exceeded our expectations ! Kudos !

I had been a customer at Shree Restaurant for decades . It always had good food and service . I recently went there . After I was seated for more than 30 minutes no one came to say hello or take order so I and my friend left without eating .

I recently visited Sree and was quite disappointed with the overall experience. We ordered pav bhaji, masala dosa, and chole bhature, but unfortunately, the food was served cold and lacked the authentic flavors we were expecting. To make matters worse, the order taker messed up our order, and we didn’t even receive some of the dishes we had initially requested.
Customer service was another major issue. The restaurant seemed severely short-staffed, leading to a frustrating wait of almost 45 minutes for just a few items. It’s clear that Sree needs to improve both its service and staffing if they want to meet basic standards. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend dining here unless these issues are addressed.

This is the worst Indian restaurant in my 30 years eating in Indian restaurants. They didn’t have most of the dishes that we asked for and brought food with too much salt. The Lachcha paratha was harder than the plate it was served on and Nan was not far behind.

This place has been taken over by new owners and they have no clue how to run a restaurant.
They have a beer and wine menu but don’t have a license to sell alcohol. They brought my badam milk after my meal was over (instead of with it). They forgot my chapati order. They said they had no halwa but when I asked twice they magically found it and brought it out.
They have retained the previous chefs so the food is still good but it was cold. Who eats a cold dosa? They are severely understaffed and the staff is clearly overwhelmed and running around. They have a nice old man playing music which is a great touch, but not necessary when the basics are getting missed.
There is potential for this restaurant to go back to its glory days but this new management really needs to step up.
We visited this restaurant on a late Saturday afternoon when it was fairly busy, but we managed to get a table without any wait. We began our meal with tomato soup, which came with croutons and was reminiscent of the classic Indian tomato soup—creamy, rich, and bursting with flavor. Following the soup, we ordered aloo kachori as an appetizer, which turned out to be the highlight of our meal. The kachori was perfectly crunchy, and the accompanying aloo sabzi was cooked to perfection, offering a delightful burst of flavors.
We also tried the crispy chili baby corn, which, while decent in taste, didn’t quite live up to its name in terms of crispiness. For the main course, we ordered chole chur chur naan, and we were thoroughly impressed by the naan’s texture and the delicious chole that paired perfectly with it. Additionally, we ordered paneer tikka masala, which was a rich and flavorful curry that brought back memories of the vibrant street food of North India. The aloo kulcha we tried was equally impressive, with its soft, flavorful filling.
Despite the restaurant being understaffed with only one waiter and one server for all the tables, the service wasn’t overly slow, which was commendable. To round off our meal, we had a taste of the badam halwa, which was simply delightful. Overall, the restaurant offered good Indian food with some outstanding dishes and decent service. It’s definitely a must-try in the area!

Food was good. But I refuse to go back simply because I do not support a restaurant that steals tips from their servers.

Hours say they are open at 11:30 am on weekdays. We had a group of people meeting here at noon on a Thursday for lunch. Doors are locked, and no notice on front door or on website that they are closed. Someone finally opened the door, to state that they were not open. This used to be a good place, but due to service related issues, this restaurant is not what it used to be.
