We always order the same things at Indian restaurants so, we though going to a buffet was an opportunity to try many things and widen our options. This however was not a good one to try. There were only two options with meat (tandoori chicken and some curry chicken), everything else was vegetarian. The food tasted mostly like lunch leftovers, left by the heat too long (perhaps doing the luch buffet was a better idea, as the dinner buffet offers the same options) Naan was not cooked thoroughly. The biriyani rice tasted more like fried rice and contained no meat. It was not all bad, the mattar paneer was a really tasty. I believe that one of the reasons we visited was due to how delicious and illuminated the pictures posted by the business were. But those seem to be from an event. The actual restaurant is dimly lighted, there is only one isle with two rows of trays, for a total of about a dozen option. I think it was deceptive from the business to post pictures that advertised an event rather than the actual restaurant. Just don't go there expecting to find what their pictures depict. Or expecting to see a good Biryani, or classics indian curries like Vindalou, or even the more inglish tikka masala on the buffet.

DO NOT COME HERE. This is not an actual Indian restaurant. The name, the decoration, might be Indian styled but the food is not Indian, especially when I been eating Indian food for over 25 years. Overseas and stateside. The food is cold, old, smell old, and the chicken does not look like chicken. It is dark and you can tell it’s been reheated over and over and over. The service guy was trying his best, but if I go to a restaurant and the food is disgusting snd old, than they shouldn’t open. Oh, FYI the food is not cheap either, I would highly recommend going somewhere else.
ANSWER: This is the response to the owner question: The Chicken Masalla is super dry, the rise is literally cold while being served, the chickpeas stew is cold while being served, the Naan bread is at least three days old.

Parminder is AMAZING. He catered my 300 person wedding and did a fantastic job. I gave him a list of experimental appetizers and desserts that I wanted for the event, and he executed them effortlessly and flawlessly. He wasn't even phased by it, saying he could definitely deliver. He is willing to work with you and do a tasting for anything you would like to try. He was responsive, on time, professional, and made sure the event went smoothly. I am so impressed by him and will definitely be using him for any other events we have!

The briyani was tasty but it was more like fried rice. Chicken proportions not acceptable for that price! Also why would you serve it in that container (think someone traveling without utensils). The food proportions were unacceptable for that rate.

Oh man! Lucky, lucky S. Carolinians! Everything I had was wonderful and tasty. I was sad, at first, because none of the buffet items had paneer, and the owner/manager(?) saw my dismay and prepared some palak paneer just for me! Please, if you get a chance to check out this restaurant, please do so at your earliest convenience. It's worth it!

My mom and I tried the lunch buffet today. Everything we tried (except the mixed pickles we didn't like) had a really good flavor. If you dont like spicy just be prepared it may be too spicy to some. I usually get all my indian food as mild as they can make it but everything on the buffet seemed to be at a 2 or 3 spice level. Which for me was way spicier than I like but the flavor of everything was delicious.

My wife and I stopped in about 8pm on a Sunday. Restaurant was almost completely empty, but the server and owner were amazing. The goat biryani and chicken korma were fantastic. Extremely tender meats that had been seasoned wonderfully. The peshwari naan was unique compared to many places I've tried, not full of nutty fillers but with a nice, bright fruit flavor that my wife and I both enjoyed. Will definitely be back.

The food is sloppy, dry, and not fresh. Naan bread was burnt, other than only having 3 pieces available. Ran out of tea and the waiter/hostess/busboy looked like he rolled out his bed and decided to go serve at a restaurant. Absolutely zero standards.
