A wonderful experience!The service was kind and attentive and they put out the best entrees on their buffet without holding them back for menu-only ordering.A nice selection at the bar, including some good beer and whiskey choices.Do not miss their goat biryani or their fried chicken!

The buffet was fantastic. The selection wasn't the largest, but each item was perfect. From the potato chips to the rice, it really calls you wanting to go back!Service was quick and easy, and the value for the buffet was fantastic. One of the cheapest buffets in Indianapolis that I've seen recently.
