Don’t laugh at my photos! I was starving ! HahaLet’s start with the PROS- Customer service was 10/10 . Great service!- Hakka noodles with Paneer spicy 10/10. Perfect flavor. Delicious- Lamb chop delicious! (Mixed grill) 10/10- Raita was good 9/10- Green Chutney 10/10 made perfect to my tasteCONS- Garlic naan 3/10 was served cold. I asked them to reheat and they reheated in microwave. It came back soft it’s supposed to be a little crunchy! Come on! As a food safety license holder it would’ve been better if they brought me a fresh one from the kitchen.- Lamb seekh kebab 1/10 , dry tasted old. You can see from the picture. I wouldn’t feed that to my dog- Chicken (mixed grill) 5/10 was too cheweh- Shrimps (mixed grill) 1/10, dry, cold- mixed grill quantity we received 2 kebabs, 2 shrimps, 3 chicken pieces, one lamb chop. Atleast give two pieces of each!- Rice wasn’t fresh- Soda was served flat.I give this place 3 stars. If the owner tries to reach out I’ll maybe give it four stars.

I always forget to review this place whenever I come here, and I also don’t take good photos because I am stuffing my face the whole time.This is one of the best Indian buffets that you can get in town. For $21 on the weekend, you get a full buffet that includes many specialties, vegetarian, and non-vegetarian dishes, multiple desserts, coffee, chai, and mango lassi.You really cannot beat this as the value is great, and the amenities are even better.Fresh naan is brought to your table, and services extremely efficient despite how busy they can get.The food quality itself is also decently above average for all of their dishes.I would say, my only complaint is that on one corner of the buffet, it is impossible to go around people and can get quite congested during their peak hours.I highly recommend coming here, if you are in the area and are looking for a fully balanced meal with more items than almost any other buffet.

It was my first time at this place. I walked in, checked out the menu and ordered butter chicken, came with white rice. While waiting for the food i chatted with the gentleman for a bit i believe he is the owner. Great guy and gave me a mango smoothie drink on the house. When i arrived home to indulge i must say the flavor of the butter chicken was extraordinary and filled with so much flavor the rice was a nice compliment to the chicken. I recommend this restaurant. Food is delicious!

I have only been here for the buffet, but this is one of the best Indian buffets in the area! When you first walk in it may not seem like it because the selection is relatively small, but each dish is so flavorful and each bite is a delight. They have all the standards from chaats to chutneys, chicken biryani, different curries, and vegetarian options as well. The staff are very friendly and I love how the food is very fresh and since they have good customer flow it's constantly being refilled and kept at hot temperatures. The mango lassi is great and so far is the first one I've seen that comes for free in the buffet and they bring naan to your table(you can also ask specifically for butter naan). It’s probably one of the cheapest and most rich yet balanced Indian buffets I’ve visited. They also have a couple desserts which are a little sweet to my taste but still good like gulab jamun.

Had butter chicken and biryani. Ordered online and chose the option "indian spicy". But it wasn't spicy at all.It still tasted good, but not what I was looking for.

The food was excellent, the service was excellent, the atmosphere was excellent, and to top it all off, it cost exactly what it was worth! Definitely going again! ?

One of the top two Indian buffets I go to. Staff was very attentive, multiple people caring for me. Buffet was very plentiful, more selections than I have ever seen. Be sure to ask for your 10% cash discount.

I have been here for buffet and non buffet. The non buffet is pretty good but I would say the buffet really stands out. I love the goat curry. Something I probably would not order off a regular menu and don't see at other Indian buffets. Recommend getting there close to opening and utilizing the early bird special as the price is slightly cheaper and the bhatura (fried bread) is super fresh.
