Ordered a chilli chicken around the closing time at the restaurant for to go. The chicken was so hard and tasted so bad that i had to spit out the food and throw away everything. The owner does not care about the service at the restaurant. Buffets during lunch hours are usually fine.

Paradise is one of our go-to restaurants in the the Herndon area. We are spoiled here with lots of great Indian cuisine, but Paradise truly has amazing service, a variety of items, and always tastes amazing. I’ve been to the buffet, eaten dine-in, and have ordered to go easily over 20 times since living in the area. I’ve always had an amazing experience! Don’t hesitate to enjoy here!

Great good, the lunch buffet had a good variation of cuisine. Everything was delicious !
I find their food to be the best in the area. My go to dishes are the butter chicken, lamb curry and tandoori chicken. i think their prices are reasonable and their food is fresh. I have tried other veggie dishes and they were great. i would highly recommend them.
WORST WORST FOOD I EVER HAD spoiled food, 3/4 days back food was served in buffet. I had informed so called owner Mr. Sudhakar and he replied to me don’t come if you didn’t like the food. Such a rude reply I didn’t expect from him and being 50+ old I was so polite and he was rude in answering
Later I said even rating was not that great and he replied saying worst people will add reviews and I don’t care about bad reviews
Each and every item was horrible no one wash there in entire restaurant That it’s the sign not to step in but it was my bad day totally
Gratuity added without informing the customer, and they do that if you are 6 in count . The food isn't so great. I think I don't go here anymore.

Well, this WAS my go-to spot for Indian food buffet, but I think this may be my last visit. This is one of the few Indian restaurants that still offer buffet.
They still have a full buffet, but now I'm wondering if everything is actually freshly made or reheated since there are so few customers and they have daily buffet. Maybe they have more crowds during the weekday buffet from nearby businesses. The butter chicken used to be delicious, but this visit, it was just too heavy on the tomato flavor. The raita (yogurt) tasted a little sour, not sure if it was old or spoiled.
The staff were the same, one woman stands there staring off into space (or out the window) and eventually picks up dirty dishes. Don't get me wrong, she is very sweet, but it's a little uncomfortable sitting at the window and she's just standing there facing our direction. The guy who rings us out, just sits there at his counter, this time I did see him getting food from the buffet, but he doesn't do much else. Then there are staff that sit on one side of the dining room eating....they seated us away from that side, so I guess that's why.
This as well as my last couple visits, there weren't many customers dining. Actually, there were were more staff eating in the dining area than there were customers. The table cloths, curtains, walls, bathroom area are still dirty....and have been even from my pre-pandemic visits. I think that was the final straw for me. This is such a nice strip mall, there is no reason for this restaurant to look like or worse than a "hole in the wall" restaurant.
Would I return? No, sadly I won't. Would I recommend it? Definitely not.

I've been coming to this restaurant pre-pandemic and came 2xs afterwards. They are really the only restaurant in the area that still offers buffet 7 days a week, $19.99/person. They offer takeaway from the buffet at 7.99/lb.
I'm sure it's packed during the work week, but when I went during the weekend, It wasn't very busy. They had full buffet, both veg and non veg options. The food wasn't exceptional or like how it used to be. The puri was slightly dry and fried cauliflower was extremely greasy. The butter chicken wasn't as good as it used to be. I was feeling adventurous and tried items I normally wouldn't, like the fried cauliflower, fried fish, the eggplant curry, etc. They do offer water bottles (and charge), which I prefer instead of using glasses.
The restaurant itself is not well-kept. the hallway to the bathroom looks filthy. The table cloths are all dirty and has been consistently like this the last 3 times I came here. The curtains had holes and were dirty as well. The music was nice, started off with instrumental music and switched to what sounded like film songs.
There wasn't much interaction with the staff except for when we were seated and they were collecting dirty plates.
I would return as they do have the full buffet, but I hope they plan on cleaning up the place and replacing the dirty tablecloths and ripped curtains.

Food is bad. Service is okay. Atmosphere is okay. We ordered chicken 65 and mutton. They were both mediocre. Dosa was good.
