Delicious Vegetarian Indian Cuisine
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially for vegetarians. The vegetarian options were delicious, and our favorites included the Eggplant bartha, Saag Paneer, and aloo gobi. We have also enjoyed other dishes. The food was rated a 5 out of 5. The service received a 4, and the atmosphere was also rated a 4. Parking was convenient with underground parking accessible from the back alley, and an elevator next to the front entrance. They offer free parking in a garage with plenty of space. Reservations are not required, and there was no wait time. The restaurant offers a vegetarian menu or section. The meal type was Dinner. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible from both the parking lot (via elevator) and street level (with a ramp).

Amazing Lunch Buffet Experience!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! We visited for the lunch buffet and had a truly great time. I absolutely loved the food, the service, and the atmosphere. The chicken curry was particularly outstanding and the best I've had.

Excellent Humble Neighborhood Lunch Buffet
My experience at this humble neighborhood restaurant was excellent, particularly with their high-quality lunch buffet. The food was fresh and perfectly seasoned, not overly salty or greasy. I especially enjoyed the fried cabbage, tandoori chicken, and Haryani chicken kebab. The desserts were also nicely balanced, not too sweet. Overall, it's an excellent option if you’re looking for a quick Indian bite at lunchtime.

Service Lapses Mar Ok Food Experience
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. Although the food quality was okay, the service significantly impacted my visit. Despite visiting during a non-busy time, one of my items was forgotten for 30 minutes. To make matters worse, I was given the check before the missing item was even started. The atmosphere was pleasant, rated a 4 out of 5, but the service issues were a major drawback.

Pleasant Surprise with Indian Buffet
My experience at this restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Tucked away in the corner of a strip mall, it offered a delightful array of Indian food favorites. I enjoyed a chai tea while waiting for my friend and was pleased to receive a free refill. The buffet had a good variety of spice levels, and I was particularly impressed with the curry chicken and butter chicken. To cleanse my palate, I had the rice pudding. Despite being a busy restaurant, they did a great job of keeping the buffet entrees full.

Delicious Indian Lunch
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I enjoyed the delicious paneer, naan, and samosas. It was fancier than I expected for a post-optometrist visit, but it was the perfect spot for a late lunch. They offer a buffet that looks like it would be amazing. I highly recommend this place!

Delicious Biryani and Great Service
My recent experience involved ordering the chicken biryani, which was served with raitha and generous portions of rice. The hostess, Yasmin, was very engaging while I waited for the food. Overall, a very positive experience with excellent food and service.

Authentic Indian Gem with Stellar Service
What a gem, this restaurant is amazing. They know what they’re doing when it comes to making authentic Indian cuisine. Every time I come here, the waiters are incredibly polite and treat me and my friends/family as their own. Their food is always fragrant and has the right amounts of spice! The service is quick and the waiters check up on you time to time. They had catered at an event we went to and their food was phenomenal. The owner was extremely kind and treated us kindly.

Shady Billing Practices - Watch Your Receipt!
My experience at this restaurant was marred by a significant discrepancy between the amount I wrote on the receipt, including the tip, and what was actually charged to my credit card. This suggests that either the employees or the owner are adding extra to the tip and pocketing it, operating like thieves. I question if this is the kind of shady operation the owner is running. I strongly advise anyone visiting this place to carefully note the amount they pay on the receipt and double-check it later.
