The google search says all you can eat.
But the buffet is not being offered. Not for at least a year according to waiter. So that needs to be removed. It's all a la carte. The two dishes we chose were both very tasty and at reasonable prices. Sadly the neighbourhood has gone downhill with so many storefronts darkened and closed.

Reviews were reasonable but not great, but we decided to try it and our experience was great! The food was delicious, our server was helpful and courteous. There were 3 of us and we had 2 appetizers and 3 dishes plus rice and naan. I can't believe we ate it all but it was SO good!

I came here with my family for dinner. This place used to be a buffet-style restaurant, but now offers dishes to order.

The food was great and flavourful. It took time for the food to come out, so I'm hopeful it was cooked fresh when ordered.

My family and I ordered several dishes to share as there were 6 of us in total. We sat by the front window so lots of natural light coming through while we ate.

Here's what...
