Food was not hot, not a lot of options and they ran out of a lot of the options they did have at the buffet. The place is old and dirty. Not worth the $16 plus tip.

I was doing some work in Columbia Missouri, so I stopped by to grab some nice Indian buffet. The food was pretty good except where at the end of my meal I did find a long piece of hair in what look like to be the Curry chicken dish. I wasn’t going to make a big stink because you know it happens. I get it, but I actually read one of the reviews and it said that hair was also found in their meal - so clearly this restaurant needs to follow some basic hair net policy otherwise they’re going to keep getting these reviews which they shouldn’t because the food was tasty. I did enjoy it.

The owner/manager is so nice, playing with my grandson and seems to know every guest in the shop. Food is fresh and authentic .. great buffet options

If I could give it a zero stars I would! Without a doubt the food was cold and old. The naan was stale like chips and the rice was crunchy. The owner just gave me shivers when he walked past. He was low-key rude. The place looked nice, but what's the point of food that tastes like water. There were three women who looked like they were paid to sit there because they didn't even order anything - only drank water and left promptly at 2:30 when lunch time is over. Personally I would not recommend this restaurant.
We were a party of 7 and 4 of us got food from the buffet (at $16/head) and it was abysmal. Three of us ordered Ala carte: lamb Karahi and samosa appetizer platter and rice
The lamb Karahi came in a bowl smaller than one I’d use to eat cereal. The samosas were literally taken out of the buffet stand on the way to our table - in front of us. The rice was cold despite it being ala carte and not from the buffet. The same plain rice was undercooked and inedible in the buffet stand.
All of us left hungry and upset.
There were also t shirts for sale right behind the cash register.
The floors were so sticky I had trouble lifting my feet up to walk. At least 2 months worth of grime.
It’s ’A’ restaurant rating should be revoked and also looked fake

Food was tasty, flavor was 5/5. But it wasn’t particularly hot. Rice was a bit skimpy. Portions were small for the price. Delicious naan.

I didn’t believe the other reviews on here regarding the owner’s quirkiness or racist remarks but oh my was I proven wrong. I came here for my birthday with my family and he was extremely curt when taking our order, acting as if it was an inconvenience to do so, which was only the beginning. When we said we didn’t want any naan, he rudely insisted that we order some, which I did to mitigate the situation and appear friendly. Then, completely unprompted and with no warning, he began ranting about how immigrants from Afghanistan, Mexico, and Africa were coming to the United States, having lots of children, and was upset that he had to pay taxes for these people???? Our table was absolutely flabbergasted, confused, and offended, and considered leaving. On top of that, when the food arrived, it felt like a quarter of the portion we should’ve received. The dishes were extremely small and bland. Believe everything you read about this place: overpriced food, bland, and racist and rude owner.
The worst Indian food I've tasted in my life. The owner is very arrogant . He got mad when I mentioned the food's lack of flavor.

By far my favorite place in town. Great food and a kind owner that’s always here. If there’s any issue they’ll fix it immediately. They resumed their buffet also which is <$20 for all you can eat. I come in to study between classes and have a quick meal and am always taken care of.
I had a terrible experience at this restaurant. There was a human hair in my food, and when I pointed it out to the staff member working the front, he made a joke about it instead of addressing the issue seriously. The portions were very small, and I was charged an unexpected $3 kitchen service fee, which I’ve never heard of before. To top it off, the food wasn’t even authentic Indian cuisine. The customer service and cleanliness were unacceptable—I wouldn’t recommend this place anyone
Butter chicken was delicious.
