Absolutely amazing and authentic Indian food. We love the buffet, however they only do that now Thursdays, Fridays and the weekend. However, their lunch special forecasts a thrilling selection of many items. We have been going here for over 10 years and plan to make many more visits.

The to go portions are very small for the price you pay. When I pulled the food from the bag I was overwhelmed of how disappointed I was with the size of the containers. The flavor is there but isn’t the best.
June 2025
My family went for dinner last Friday and received great service. We tried the Biryani for 2 with different meats, vegetable and meat Samosas, butter chicken, palak paneer, lamb, garlic naan, Chana masala, and chai tea. I recommend dining with a group of people to try more dishes.
