Lunch buffet is back! Best little hole in the wall.

As a vegetarian seeking Indian cuisine in Lynchburg, Milan Indian Restaurant offers a decent, though somewhat limited, buffet experience. With it being one of the few Indian choices in the area, it might be worth a try if you're craving those flavors.I recently visited Milan for their weekday lunch buffet with colleagues. As a vegetarian, I was pleased to find a few dedicated vegetarian options, although the selection was noticeably smaller compared to the non-vegetarian dishes (roughly a third of the overall choices). Despite the limited variety, the vegetarian dishes I tried were flavorful. The hot tea at the end of the meal was an enjoyable touch.

So the food is great, no doubt. Just about everything is labeled gluten free but it definitely isn’t. My friend and I both have problems with it and have gotten sick the 2 times we’ve been. The service is also really bad. Like, the wait staff was moaning and my friend and I.. we were the only table. You have to waive them down to order and one guy essentially threw the plate of rice on the table. Also, the waiter didn’t understand “more chutney”. I get language barrier, no worries at all, but he just stared at us. Very weird. We won’t be back

Milan has a lunch buffet which is typical of Indian restaurants, but the buffet is pretty low scale. I tried the tikka masala and it was too watery. So I would say skip the buffet and order from the menu instead.

Extremely unprofessional staff- after a long drive from Atlanta we stopped on our way at 1:50 pm for lunch. The attendant refused to seat us saying they stop seating at 2 pm- we showed him the time - saying it’s not 2 pm yet. Their website says they close for lunch at 2:30 pm. We just wanted to eat from the open buffet- and it would have taken just 10-15 min but the unfriendly attendant started laughing in a mockery tone. Very distasteful and bad experience- recommend staying far away from this restaurant- no need to go there. They engage in false advertising on their website- they need to correct their closing time to state 1:50 pm for seating for lunch instead of 2:30 pm- looked like the attendant hated his job and was in a rush to be somewhere else. Businesses like Milan bring wrong reputation for their community they’re trying to serve and need to close soon since they’re not happy doing their jobs.

Excellent food!!! I had the shrimp tikka masala it was delicious. I will be back there.
Order an hour and half early so it would be ready when I came to pick up. Waited 20 min and then the order was wrong. Been coming here for 10+ years and this does not make me want to come back

This is one of those places that is kind of hidden but has the best food in Lynchburg. I have never had a bad dish here. The garlic naan is incredible. The tandoori chicken and chicken tikka masala are my go-to dishes. I have been to several Indian restaurants and none compare to Milan's.

Paid $50 for two takeout meals and left very disappointed. Paid a premium price expecting to have leftovers of a great meal, as has been our experience with many other Indian restaurants but unfortunately the portions were very small and the flavor was extremely underwhelming. I had the lamb curry and it was somewhat bland the the meat was tough. My spouse had the butter chicken and the “boneless chicken” was full of bones.
