India Garden Restaurant Reviews
Excellent food. The mild option was a bit spicy tho so be careful. Rice was cooked great and the Naan was delicious. Make sure get the mango lassi for a delicious mango yogurt drink. 4 star reviews had us skeptical, but now looking at them, they all seem very trivial. 5 Stars for sure.
The food is very good but the service is absolutely terrible, no management. We were rushed through our meal all the way. We should have walked out right at the get go .
I took new guests there and none of them will ever return, including me
Dreadful service. Arrived at 1.35 for lunch only to be rushed to order.
No lamb available of any kind, no curries, no chops, etc.
Bill brought halfway through meal and while still eating they came to collect payment.
Just don’t open for lunch !! On the door it says 11-2.30 and 11-3 , depending on which sign you read.
Bad bad attitude.

India Garden Restaurant has been a popular dining spot for over a decade, known for its excellent dinner options that are worth the price. The lunch buffet, which returned after Covid, features a variety of vegetarian dishes reminiscent of South Indian cuisine. The menu includes delicious options like Thali plates, vegetable combination platter, and amazing garlic naan. The staff is super friendly, and the pricing remains great. The restaurant's atmosphere is relaxed, allowing customers to enjoy their meals without feeling rushed. It is also praised for its authentic Indian tea, perfect samosas, and a full page of vegan foods, with several options clearly marked. The menu offers a range of vegetarian and vegan dishes, though the buffet is priced a bit higher than most vegan entrees, making it a better value despite having only one vegan hot dish.
Recent reviews highlight positive experiences, such as enjoying the best shahi paneer ever and friendly service. One customer appreciated the staff's dedication, with a server rushing out in a heavy rainstorm to deliver food to a customer whose Door Dash driver didn't show up. Others mention that the food is consistently delicious and filling, with large portions during dinner. While the lunch buffet is about $20 per person and considered very worth it, some note that service can sometimes be slow, even when the restaurant is empty, especially for drinks. Overall, India Garden Restaurant offers many highlights and is a favorite for its authentic flavors and friendly atmosphere.
