Staff is always nice even when they have a full house. I'll return friends next time. It has an awesome atmosphere. I can see why they have a lot of good reviews.

Excellent Indian Food! Friendly and swift service. Samosas were delish!

Sitting here in complete shock right now. I've never had Indian food so bland and just so blah. Even the naan (which isn't fresh from a tandoor) tastes unusual and the rice appears to be microwaved. There's literally oomph in any of the six dishes that come in the thali. No salt, no spices, just bland heat. The service is also a bit unusual. This place has good reviews and I'm just scratching my head right now. There are much better options just a few miles up the road.

We have been going here for years and we love it! Authenticity is what we love the most. The owners are very genuine people. The staff is excellent!!! We are going back again tonight for a late Valentine's celebration!!! I fully recommend if you want real authentic Indian cuisine. Not the commercial garbage you can get anywhere. Go try it out, you won't be disappointed. ❤

Tried this place for a second time in 4 months. Found the owner to be very arrogant because i had told him my food was cold and that it tasted old. What also did not help was the fact was while the the owner was speaking to me there was a very strong smell of body odor. I will NOT be coming back to this place.

This place doesn't have any connection to real South Indian Food. We tried Friday "buffet" - was served a thali with a few dishes - all tasted similar, old, lukewarm, and tasteless! We got one vegetarian and non-veg thali. Chicken was the only difference in the non-veg thali. We were the only customers on a Fri at 1:30 pm ! We should have walked out. Owner was rude, and server was indifferent ! Only restaurant in Richmond area that claims to have South Indian Food - absolute misrepresentation! Will never go there again ! Neither South Or North - worst of both !

Delicious! This is my favorite Indian restaurant. The staff, service, and food are great. I especially am a fan of their mango lassi and vegetable samosas!

We really enjoy the buffet. It is rather small, but the food has always been delicious. It is fresh and flavorful. It has a nice, family friendly atmosphere too. We will definitely return.

Absolutely incredible food and even better service. Stopped here on a road trip, we were so tired and so hungry and these guys took amazing care of us. Would HIGHLY recommend

This place has been around for a long time, and has always served excellent Indian cuisine. They have a really good lunch buffet too.

Pretty good prices for the quality of food. Was unimpressed with the vegetable platter appetizer but their entrees are quite delicious and a fair sight cheaper than the nearby Anokha. Come for the lunch buffet! Can't beat all you can eat entrees made to order.
