Food was good! We went with high reference! But the waitress was pathetic!

We asked her how many samosas in samosa chat? Her answer was”don’t know “
What is this soup made of ? “Don’t know” and on and on!

We asked her to get fork, she went quickly but started chatting with another waitress! My wife had to shout out for her to walk faster!

My family of 4 gets butter chicken, tandoori, Palak paneer and garlic naan every year when we’re in town. It is absolute the best food ever. I highly suggest giving this place a visit.

The service is a little slow. It’s difficult to find the server sometimes. The buffet is my favorite Indian buffet ever. The food is 5-star! They make the best butter chicken, tandoori chicken, and kheer.
