Garlic naan and papadum with tamarind sauce on my b-day! A variety of good food on the buffet, with meat and vegetarian options. A bit salty, but there's a water pitcher at the table. I saw business people of Indian descent office people eating there, which is usually a good sign. The staff was polite. I wish the price was clearer in advance though, so if that's a concern, ask. I like their logo. I'll try it again!

10/10 experience ordering takeout from this restaurant for the first time! The portion sizes were very generous and the food was outstanding (chetinadu, chicken tikka, samosas, and bullet naan). We will definitely become repeat customers here and can't wait to dine in person as well!

Food is decent, nowhere close to great. Ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and it looked like I got about half a chicken breast in mediocre sauce. Might go for the lunch buffet sometime since I can control my own portions but I will probably never order from here again as the price is not worth it even remotely
