Delicious. I am not South Asian myself but the seasonings seemed just right to me.

I went to this place for a lunch buffet expecting that I would spend atleast an hour. But, I was out in 30 minutes. I sat idle for almost 15 minutes just to pass my time. I took the vegetarian buffet for $15.95. There was only 1 rice item, which is plain rice, not even biryani/pulao. Only 1 appetizer which is vegetable pakora (overflowing with oil). 4 curries, of which saag paneer was one but without any paneer pieces. I could hardly find 10-12 very small paneer pieces in the whole curry (not my portion, but the whole available portion in the buffet). The raita was extremely sour. Jalebi was not fresh and unpleasant to taste. The naan was okayish, not too great. Same with all the other dishes.I would definitely not recommend the place.

I had a craving for Biryani so with high hopes I visited this place as I had liked their buffet before. But this time I was highly disappointed with their Veg Biryani.Please do not order a Veg Biryani here. Simply put it was a mixed vegetable rice. There was no biryani spice or ANY spices added at all.

I went here with my wife and we tried the Buffet. The Buffet only had a veg appetizer and one non veg appetizer. I guess the day was slow and the food was cold. The main course was good with some veg and non-veg options with plain rice and garlic naan. The desserts had Jalebi which was not the typical orange color that we see, were uncooked and had a weird smell. Kheer was really good.

But yeah food was great but dude that was suppose to greet people was horrible !!! Not a people person. They need to get someone else to greet people and they would be perfect!!

India Pavilion provides a satisfactory dining experience with a variety of tasty dishes at fair prices. The ambiance is pleasant, and the staff is generally friendly and attentive. However, during my recent visit, I couldn't help but notice a mouse scurrying around the dining room. While it didn't directly interfere with my meal, its presence was concerning and raised doubts about the cleanliness and maintenance standards of the establishment. Although I enjoyed the food, the sight of a mouse made me question the overall hygiene practices in the kitchen area. I hope the management addresses this issue promptly to ensure a more hygienic environment for all diners.

It's a very good Indian restaurant. While the set up is well organised and nicely arranged, the restaurant offers homely food items.

Probably my favorite Indian restaurant in Cambridge. Their daily lunch buffet is a tremendous deal and the quality is quite fine, with excellent vegetarian apps and entrees, along with some really good chicken curry, butter chicken, and tandoori. Place had a clean, modern vibe and an impressive full bar.

Food was great! Definitely recommend all the lassis that they have! Service was a bit rough. We did struggle to catch the staff's attention to order and pay the bill, though,
