We were incredibly fortunate to have GIK cater our wedding in August! Benny, Sri, and the team were exceptional in working closely with us to ensure that we were able to serve our favorite dishes in a reasonable manner. GIK was super flexible with our DIY, bring everything in venue (Windham Manor) despite never working the location prior to our wedding. After being super cautious, we were blown away by how professional and seamless GIK was. Our guests still talk about how incredible the food and drinks were. Thank you for making our special day so much better than we could have even imagined!!!

We were in town just for the evening and stepped in here for dinner. Excellent food and service. I wish we were staying longer so we could try their lunch buffet and other menu items. In particular, I would have liked to have tried their dosa! My meal reminded me of my last trip the New Delhi.

I'm not a big fan of most Indian food, but we loved the food at the Great Indian Kitchen restaurant. I had the Tandouri mixed grill which was delicious.
The service was superb.
We'll be back there soon!
4-16-2025 We returned and had 4 excellent dinners. My Kadai chicken was very good, others had salmon, Tikka chicken, and Tikka chicken Masala.... or something like that. Very pleasant meal and good service.
11-1-2025 We again greatly enjoyed our meals. The salmon combo was excellent, while the alu spinach like stuff, Kadai Chicken, and Lamb Tikka Masala was wonderful.

Love this place! Food is always great and service is wonderful. Staff are friendly and always smiling. The exterior doesn't quite give this establishment the vibe this place deserves. Inside is cozy and warm and this is definitely a hidden gem.

BEST Indian lunch buffet in the area! More than just typical food you find at most places. Service is phenomenal, food is fresh and they bring a warm basket of naan to each table.

Decent Indian restaurant with a lot of menu choices. Seasoning was on the light side, so if you want the heat you have to ask for it. I got the lamb Madras, which was tasty but very mild heat. My honey got the Chicken Tikka Masala, and it was rather bland. I got extra hot sauce to add to it. One of our party got the hottest dish available on the menu, and enjoyed it. Wait staff is attentive and pleasant. There was a rather long wait between order time and getting the meals, so an appetizer is recommended.

Went to the buffet last weekend and the food was fresh and delicious. The thalapakattu chicken biryani, kebabs and desserts were the highlight of the meal for us.

We recently catered food from GIK for a wedding after tasting the food a few times and I must congratulate the team for making the wedding memorable as the food provided for three occasions was praised universally and the service exceeded expectations. When we looked at the overall cost, the proce quoted came out to be very reasonable. Highly recommended
