"Indian cuisine is amazing however this restaurant does not do it justice. I've had food from this restaurant multiple times and sometimes it's okay and other times it's been horrible. I had to leave a review today because I bought dinner and I could not believe what I was looking at. The appetizers looked like stale appetizers from yesterday that were refried and placed in the bag. The naan was burnt and soggy at the same time, not sure how they managed to accomplish that. I took a few bites and had to throw it out."

"Dine in for lunch buffet and the food was okay. The atmosphere of the restaurant can also be improved."

"Just had the lunch buffet and, loved it! Beyond satisfied, this place scratched an itch. Only issue is that I wanted some more options, but they already had SO much layer out, given the space."

"I called ahead. They told me they were busy but they’d save a table for me. I got there and there was one table left. Good thing I called ahead. Sunday buffet was delicious. The usual dishes but done well. There were quite a few to choose from. One problem the rice was cold. When someone came over I mentioned this. He looked over at the rice, noticed that the sterno for the rice was missing and took care of it immediately. Thanked me for pointing it out. Service was excellent. Food delicious."

"Food is good, the service is satisfactory but not overly welcoming. During dining hours when the buffet is not available the restaurant tends to be quiet. The tables glass covering/linens are sometimes visibly soiled from previous customers which is the only real complaint. It's a nice spot to stop if you're craving Indian food but not meant for a "date night". The naan is very good and they offer a fairly large variety of traditional Indian fare."
