Food was very good! I had the lamb curry and the lamb was soft and well-cooked. Wait staff was very attentive. I like that their garlic was a little crispy.

Food and service was excellent. Staff were friendly and the food did not take very long. We ordered the vegetable samosas (they were amazing), chicken biryani, butter chicken, and Naan. Everything was delicious and there was plenty, we had to take some home. All in all, I recommend stopping by.
First time here, ordered to go. Entering the place we were immediately greeted and employees were nice. I ordered butter chicken, white rice which was separate and Naan. Total cost was almost $20.00 and this was during lunch. The butter chicken is not typical butter chicken. I am not sure if they put sugar in this but the sauce that it's in was very, very sweet and had I known this, I would've ordered something else. The sauce was also very thin and soupy when I'm used to a thicker sauce. I probably will not return.

Simi's Indian Cuisine is a culinary haven for lovers of authentic Indian flavors! The Tandoori Chicken is an absolute triumph, perfectly marinated and charred to perfection, delivering a mouthwatering smokiness that lingers on the palate.The Tikka Masala at Simi's is a gastronomic masterpiece. The rich, creamy tomato-based sauce envelops tender chicken pieces, creating a harmonious blend of spices that dance on your taste buds. It's a true testament to the chef's skill in balancing flavors.From the first bite to the last, Simi's Indian Cuisine delivers a dining experience that transports you to the heart of India. The vibrant ambiance and impeccable service only enhance the delight of savoring their delicious offerings. Simi's is a must-visit for anyone seeking an exquisite journey through the diverse and flavorful world of Indian cuisine!
Best Indian Cuisine EVER! I love it so much! My compliments to the chef. I see him occasionally step out of the kitchen I swear I just want to run and give him the biggest hug ever. ? (not crazy ?)But in all seriousness the food is amazing. Flavors are out of this world. The samosas are delicious the mushroom Matar the Naan bread omg! All of it DELICIOUS. If you haven't already gone you are missing out!!! And they are not kidding when they say everything is made fresh.
This was my second time in any Indian restaurant. I went for the buffet and honestly I wasn't impressed with the selection of items.Flavor though was great from what was available. I loved the samosas and fresh garlic naan.Had a Mango Lassi as dessert and it was perfection with its refreshing taste.

the food was okay if you were lucky enough to get any of the items you actually wanted to eat. The buffet is small, and there isn't a lot of options nor is there enough being served in the buffet.this is probably there way of dealing with less waste (shrug).Unfortunately for me it was busy enough to where the food I wanted to eat and try was gone by the time i got up there to get anything i was interested in.the rice pudding is fire though, its the best thing there.not worth the price for the small selection i would say, the service was a little to much, i had drank not even near half way of my water and they were already refiling it, immediately taking dishes away, and asking if everything was okay. This was constant, and a little to overwhelming.
I came for the all you can eat lunch buffet and it was incredible! And only $16! So much flavor in every dish. I had the Seekh Kebab, Chicken Tikka, Tandoori Chicken and Chicken Curry. Had to tap out after my third plate. The service was incredible and even met the long time chef. Hard to believe there’s a better spot for the price in town.

A recent lunch buffet visit was disappointing. I've always enjoyed the flavorful buffet, but the food quality was awful. Leftover like. Vindaloo sauce. No protein or veg, just sauce. Lame offerings.

Excellent lunch buffet to try many different Indian foods.....nice decor....excellent servuce. My friday lunch buddies and I frequently enjoy the healthy veggie dishes on this buffet and the naan bread is excellent .... 01/2024.....They have their lunch buffet up and running again......food on the buffet is delicious and a good selection for those who want to try a little bit of everything. If you are not familiar with Indian Food, this is a great place to try their items on the buffet. During and just after COVID lock down, they discontinued their buffet but another option is to try the Simi's dinner with a variety of items or the Empire Dinner for Two with more items and larger portions. I have had the Simi's dinner and only finished half of it, taking home a to-go box with leftovers for the next day's meals/snacks. I highly recommend Simi's.....Try it out, have fun, enjoy.

Terrible buffet. Food was dry and way too sweet. The waiters are good at clearing the table but they stare and watch over you while you eat. I definitely wouldn't recommend. Many better options for Indian food.
