We have been coming here for about 30 years. We have loved the buffet . Also now we very much take pleasure in coming for a long leisurely dinner. The atmosphere is lovely, soothing and relaxing. . Pink linens are on every table and lovely gently music playing in the background. All of the staff are welcoming gracious and helpful.
The Indian food here is the best!! Tender, moist and flavorful chicken tikka, numerous types of bread to pick from served fresh and warm. We love the Dahl soup, various tandooris, lamb karahi, lamb Biryani, the lovely fresh salad and some some of the vegetarian dishes. (Plus many others)

We started with the appetizer sampler- 2 veg pakora, 2 samosas, 2 lamb kabob, and 2 chicken tikka. It also came with 2 onion rings that weren't on the listing. Everything was excellent but the chicken tikka stood out. Really amazing flavor and cooked perfectly.
I usually go with the palak paneer or saag paneer for the main course, depending on what they have, and ordered the palak paneer here when we placed our order. It was fantastic, exactly what I wanted and super creamy. We got some garlic naan which was very good, and cheese naan which my mom really liked but I thought was just fine. It was interesting- sort of a thin layer of bread covered with tiny cheese cubes and another thin layer of bread, all cooked together. My mom got the butter chicken for her main course and said she really enjoyed that.
All in all one of the best Indian places around that I've found. The waiters made sure our glasses were never empty and the manager himself brought out the main course and checked in a couple times. I only gave the atmosphere 4 stars because it was just kind of plain compared to a lot of Indian restaurants. It just doesn't have that visual wow factor that you get in some similar establishments, but the food made up for anything lacking in that department.

We've been going for years now, both before and after the area was flooded. This is hands down the BEST Indian restaurant in over 7 restaurants in 3 states that I have eaten Indian food. Absolutely wonderful; the food, the staff, the atmosphere... SUPERB!!!

The weekend lunch buffet ($21.95 plus tax) consists of a dozen dishes (basmati rice, salad, 2 desserts and 8 savory dishes) plus naan. The chicken tandoori, mixed daal and the palak paneer were the best in the lineup but overall the spice level was very mild if at all present, which is surprising for Indian cuisine. The lentil soup was particularly bland. The service was friendly and efficient. They do refill the chafing dishes promptly.

Ordered takeout. It was edible, but I don’t think I’ll try again.

Food and Service are excellent here. They set the expectation of food before confirming the order which was good in understanding the taste of the food. Especially biryani is not a biryani, still it’s good.
Don’t expect a native biryani taste as like in our home country..
Lot of local US citizens having food over there which is really good.
Thank you Dishes of India.
I've been coming to this restaurant for years. The food is always excellent, the restaurant is always clean, the staff always professional. Sometimes they can be slow to refill drinks, but that's a very minor criticism. Almost always come for the buffet (hence the picture that does not look professionally plated).
Highly recommended for anyone in or traveling through the area!

Worst Indian food I’ve ever had in my life, Pecora was pathetic five pieces of small fried vegetables for nine dollars the Sagnier looked un appetizing. The chicken masala was the absolute worst I’ve ever had in my life. Do not go here!
The butter chicken is good. And make sure you get the appetizer sampler
The food was stellar! I had Murg Madras (which was a sweet and spicy curry dish, others in our group had the Kali Mirch Tikka Malvani (smokey curry dish, very unique and excellent). The Mango lassi drinks were also AMAZING! Highly recommended!
This wasn't my first or second choice, but I'm glad I found it. Absolutely loved the food, and service was great.
Personal favorite. Always well prepared food and great service!
