India Garden,

"Had the tandoori chicken. This one order was enough food for two or three people, for less than I would have paid for most dinners. I had it for dinner again the following evening. Great value. Very nice staff. Most certainly recommend."

"The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly. The buffet had a variety of vegan and meat options. The butter chicken (not on the buffet) was the best I’ve ever had. The tea was delicious too! I will definitely be returning!! Highly recommend!!"

"TLDR: Amazing lunch buffet for the unbeatable price of $15 on weekends (cheaper during weekdays). Come for the fresh poori and goat curry. Vibe: 4/5. Tucked away in a shopping center, India Garden is a cozy restaurant. The dining room is comprised of a dozen or so 2 tops with some pushed together as 4 tops. On the occasions we dined, there were groups of 6 or more, so they are more then happy to accommodate larger groups. The buffet is located in the back of restaurant with all food served in closed chaffing dishes. The restaurant also has a bar area which looks to have a small selection of wine. Service: 5/5. Attentive and welcoming! Both times we visited, we were warmly greeted at door and seated immediately. Water cups and dirty plates were tended to quickly throughout the entire meal. Bonus points for what appeared to be the owner welcoming several customers by their first names as they stopped by for lunch. Always a good sign when restaurants have regulars. Food: 5/5. The last time I dined at an Indian food buffet was before the pandemic, so I had high hopes for my lunch experience. Indian Garden did not disappoint! From the freshness and quality of the food to the vast selection of both vegetarian and non vegetarian choices, the spread is fantastic. When we visited, there were 8 main courses, fried appetizers such as samosas and poori, side items such as birani and buttered naan, a soup and 2 desserts. Main course highlights included the goat curry, saag paneer and the tandoori chicken. However, best in show of the entire meal is the hot and fresh poori. These little warm dough puffs will have you noshing on them throughout the entire meal!"

"July 2021 lunch buffet is back. Including rice, naan & two desserts, 12 of the 16 items on the buffet are vegetarian. My wife was quite pleased with a vegetarian options. Loved the lentils dish & palak paneer. But I have to give them four stars because I'm a meat eater & their curry chicken and tikka masala both had white meat that was overcooked and dried out. Was hard to eat. Their tandoori chicken was pretty good and moist. They had some nice fresh fruit and chutneys selection."
