I went here last night, everything was really good! It should be rated higher. We had naan, samosas & pakoras, the tandoori platter, chicken vindaloo, mutter paneer, and aloo gobi. Service and ambience were very good! I will come back.

Accidentally discovered this restaurant while out for a Galentine’s night with some friends. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly. I would definitely recommend checking it out!

The best Indian food I've had in the city! Other places are overpriced and split everything into separate orders, really hurts the experience unlike this place.
It's the only one that I frequently return to year after year.

Unfortunately they aren't doing a buffet right now? I went in with some excited friends only to discover it was limited to some menu items and takeout.

Please reopen the buffet so we can return with our friends and family! We're craving Gautama!

Not worth the price! Sweets & food tasted stale & spoiled. Food was not even hot! They dont have a good variety in terms of ‘buffet’ Not an authentic indian taste.

My visit to this restaurant was quite troubling. My boyfriend and I arrived together, but he stepped away briefly to use the restroom, leaving me alone at our table. During his absence, a young man working as an order-taker, who appeared to be of brown skin, made me feel very uncomfortable with his inappropriate and unsettling stares. His behavior was unprofessional and disrespectful.

Feeling increasingly uneasy, I decided to leave as soon as my boyfriend returned. I chose not to mention the incident to him at the time to avoid escalating the situation, but I feel it's crucial to address this with the restaurant’s management. It’s concerning that such behavior was allowed, and it raises serious questions about the safety of female patrons at this establishment.

The behavior of the order-taker felt like harassment and happened openly in front of other customers. Despite my clear discomfort, he approached me twice while I was seated by the window, making unwelcome advances.

I advise other women to be cautious if they plan to visit this restaurant. I do not feel comfortable returning until I am confident that management has taken serious steps to address this issue.

This situation needs immediate attention from the owner.

My experience at this restaurant was deeply unsettling. After arriving with my boyfriend, he briefly left to use the restroom, and I was left alone at our table. During this time, a young man who seemed to be taking orders and appeared to be of brown skin began giving me disturbing and inappropriate looks. His behavior was both unprofessional and disrespectful.

I felt increasingly uneasy and chose to leave as soon as my boyfriend returned. I didn't discuss the situation with him at that moment to avoid any escalation, but I am now determined to bring this issue to the owner's attention. It is alarming that such behavior was allowed to occur and raises serious concerns about the safety and comfort of female patrons.

The conduct of the order-taker was tantamount to harassment and occurred openly in view of other customers. Despite my visible discomfort, he approached me twice while I was seated by the window, making unwelcome advances.

I strongly urge other women to be cautious if considering a visit to this restaurant. I do not feel safe returning until I receive assurance that management has taken appropriate steps to address this serious issue.

This situation requires immediate action from the owner.

My visit to this restaurant was deeply troubling. I arrived with my boyfriend, who briefly stepped away to use the restroom, leaving me alone at our table. During this time, a young man taking orders—who appeared to be of brown skin—started giving me unsettling and inappropriate stares. His behavior was both unprofessional and disrespectful.

Although I didn’t share the details with him to avoid escalating the situation, I am determined to raise this issue with the owner. It is concerning that such behavior was allowed and raises significant concerns about the safety of female patrons.

In my view, this restaurant does not offer a safe environment for women. The conduct of the order-taker was akin to harassment and occurred in full view of other customers. Despite my clear discomfort, he approached me twice while I was seated by the window, making unwelcome advances.

I strongly advise other women to be cautious if they are considering a visit to this establishment. I do not feel comfortable returning until I am assured that management has taken appropriate action to address this serious issue.

This matter demands urgent attention from the owner.
