The first time we ate at this place we had a good experience. We therefore returned for another meal a few days ago and received probably the worst service imaginable from the waitress, who also happened to be the owner. She forgot to put in our order for appetizers and we waited 45 minutes just for our appetizers to arrive. She similarly forgot about our drinks as well until we reminded her. We let all this slide since we assumed she was probably busy and we didn't mind waiting a little bit if needed. We continued to wait patiently for our entrees. We got extremely angry and frustrated, however, when we noticed that other parties that were seated around us were getting their food before us and we had already been WAITING FOR TWO WHOLE HOURS. Even some parties that came in after us received their food, paid for their meal and left while we were still waiting for our main course. The waitress walked by our table numerous times, noticed that we had no food, but did not think to double check with the kitchen about our order. Instead, she spent her time making small talk with all the tables around us while completely ignoring that she had not yet served us our food. It was particularly cringe when we saw her literally sit down at the table next to us to make small talk with the diners and tell them how the restaurant "is a family" and in the meantime we're just looking at each other and wondering if she was gonna get up and decide to finally do her job. After 2 hours and 15 mins of waiting we flagged down a different waitress and asked her when our food would be served. She went back to inquire and returned to tell us that the kitchen never received our order. At this point we were frustrated enough that we just wanted to leave. So we told them to bring us our check so we could go find someplace else to finish our meal. But the waitress/owner (the one who did a pathetic job waiting on our table) was super apologetic and said she would serve us shortly and that "it would be on the house". So we agreed and accepted her offer. They did bring out the meal shortly, however, when she presented us with the check, nothing was on the house as she had originally suggested. She charged us for all the entrees that she served us, even though they were 2.5 HOURS LATE. We didn't want to create a scene so we just paid the full check and left. If she had actually excluded the entrees from the check, like she had initially suggested, we might have accepted that as an apology and not left this negative review. But the fact that she led us to believe she was going to exclude those dishes, but ended up asking us to pay for it anyway just left a sour taste in our mouth. She was also trying to be overly nice and sweet towards the end after she realized her mistake but her over the top behavior came across as fake and insincere. If she was really sorry, she would have adjusted our check to reflect that. We will NEVER return here again and we don't recommend this place to anybody. There are plenty of other ethnic restaurants with good food and good service nearby that would ensure a better experience than this establishment. STAY AWAY.

Went for the lunch buffet, the chicken tikka and the tandoori chicken were very good, as were the mushrooms. Not much variety with the buffet but the few items they did have were tasty!

We tried the buffet on a Friday afternoon for the first time, everything tasted so fresh! I might have a high tolerance, but the dishes could have been spicier.

Delicious food. Great service. Gem hidden in corner of downtown mall. Great value as well. My friends never had okra before and they loved theirs.

Kiley W.

Amazing food, great service, and a funky atmosphere. Recommendations: steamed momo, chicken biryani, lamb Price: a little on the expensive side but it's a great date night spot and you typically have leftovers! Deliciously spicy and always cooked to perfection.
