They used to have the best Indian food in Charleston, but they said they can't find workers so the food is now inconsistent. They must not have written recipes because you can tell different people cook on different days because of how different it tastes and looks. The atmosphere is not great at all. Usually they have no AC and the bathrooms are REALLY dirty. The owners said they are closing in October to redo the entire place so hopefully when they reopen they fix the food...
October 2023
The food was excellent; fresh, great variety, and well labeled, so you knew what you were trying. We were seated, and then no one came back, so we went up to the buffet. We couldn't find the large plates, but other patrons helped us. (Duh!) It was quiet, and they had soft music playing in the background. Very nice.
September 2023
Not much variety and the taste is okay. It's hot inside just the fan (far away) no AC! I was sweating while eating. It's good to come here if you want to try it. Cost ($15) is reasonable especially when one dish costs over $5/$10 when you order from the menu. Lady at the counter was nice and provided a nice service. The seat was sticky. The place looks like it needs a deep cleaning. Thank you for the food and nice service!
