DO NOT order the tikka masala. I should've checked my bag before leaving. Very weird color and zero flavor. Naan is actually good

The food is absolutely horrible. The sauces are unsettlingly bright in color in a way that can only be from food coloring and there’s no flavor whatsoever. I’m pretty sure they use the same sauce across many items and just change the color. I had to add my own seasonings to make it even remotely possible to eat because the flavors were just sweet and cream. Not even salt. The bread is also extremely flavorless including the garlic naan which should at the very least should taste like garlic but does not. Incredibly disappointing especially for almost $20 a dish

Tika was neon orange and bland. Garlic Naan was not garlicky at all. 0/5

The food was not good. Ordered the chicken tikka masala and the flavors did not balance - it was the worst chicken tikka masala dish I have ever had. The color looked artificial, almost too orange and the taste was not very good. Very disappointed because I’ve never had bad Indian food!

Nice people running the place but Butter Chicken should not be sweet at all whatsoever. The dish looked almost pink in color, like an artificial pink and the sauce tasted like there was sugar poured into it. Butter Chicken should be an orange color and savory, I shouldn’t be tasting sweet at all. Please get a new cook and train them properly.

This is the best Indian saving a couple of eclectic Indian restaurants for Mother’s Day and anniversaries. I’ve been coming here for the buffet because it’s fresh and not a heavy Indian dining experience. They do offer comfort options like tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, and braised lamb but also seafood, cucumber salad, and this incredible pickled chili “salsa” with a chutney consistency. So, the meal is refreshing with so much flavor.

I used to go there a lot not anymore. There food is good but they are unprofessional. Ordered from them for home and they left the order down without letting me know until I called and asked. They did not ever apologize and acted like it’s ok, it happens. They were very unprofessional and definitely this will be my last time dealing with them.

The most under seasoned bland Indian food ive ever had. I ate here years ago and the food was good. Decided to try it today and wow have they gone down hill....

I ordered delivery. Super salty food. I'm expecting a headache from all the salt I ate from the lamb vindaloo I ordered. I ordered delivery so I couldn't send it back to the kitchen. I also ordered mango lassi with my order but it never came. My food was delivered in a stapled bag without my drink.

This food was pretty disappointing. The paneer tikka masala was sweet with no flavor. Overall the quality was not great for the price. The folks there are really nice and the service is good. Food just needs serious improvement.

Quite small compared to the location on Charles St, but very delicious buffet. Adding them to my Indian buffet list ?

Vegetarian options: All Indian buffets tend to have good vegetarian options this one is no different!

It’s a small place and was empty so didn’t know what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed by the food. First, I was surprised to see a strawberry lassi since I usually only see mango. It was delicious!! I ordered the lamb biriyani with garlic naan. The food came quickly and was delicious as well! The lamb was tender and well flavored and the biriyani was seasoned to perfection and not as dry as typical biriyani! Absolutely recommend this place and hope to return!
