Traditional Indian cuisine served in a warm & straightforward atmosphere, plus a lunch buffet.

We dined in at this restaurant on our Orlando visit – Day 1 when my wife craved for some Indian food. There were only two staffs and a few tables when we got there. The guy wearing a shirt with his glasses on who was probably the manager said that there will be a 20 minutes wait-time, but we were seated pretty quickly. The ambience was good, but the table that we were seated on was a little sticky. The manager was bragging about how good their food was, but I would say it was mediocre at best. We ordered some samosas, chicken saag, butter chicken, naan, and peshwari naan. Food was okay. I did not like the butter chicken. Not sure how that gravy was made. Also, I have had some delicious peshwari naan in other Indian restaurants. The peshwari naan they serve here was something else – I didn’t like it. Chicken saag, samosas, and naan were good though. Props to the guy who was clearing up tables. We were amazed to see how he was clearing tons of stuffs at once.

Genuine, delicious well prepared Indian food. I am really happy to find this place. We ordered a vegetarian Palak Paneer which is literally the best I’ve ever tasted, and the Lamb curry was amazingly tender and flavorful. We shared a garlic naan which was succulent, as was the gulab jamun dessert. Service was wonderful and from the heart. I definitely want to go back!

Very quiet on a Saturday night at dinner time. Service was very good, with our waiter explaining the different dishes and spice levels. We started with a cracker like bread made from lentils with 2 dipping sauces, a spicy (green) and a sweet (red). We shared the lamb curry with basmati rice and a garlic naan. Curry sauce was flavorful but lamb was overcooked. The dish had a few small pieces of carrots and peppers. Garlic naan was enjoyable but basic.
Most Orlando restaurants have the AC on “meat locker”! This was actually too warm for me. Felt like no AC.

We had the worst Indian food in the US. The chicken pakoras are fried with a besan/chicken peas floor coating. The Chicken biryani has absolutely no taste. The chicken curry is made up of tomato puree only. If you have never cooked Indian food, you may prepare better food than this by watching YouTube. Additionally, the prices are too high for this quality food.

First time here. Small diner setting. They were not crowded on a Saturday night which was awesome. Wait staff was very friendly and suggested a few items for me to try. I love Indian food. Portion sizes were smaller than I expected for the price. O-town is all about that bottom line. The rice was excellently prepared. Garlic naan bread came out delicious.

If you’re looking for genuinely delicious Indian food in the I-Drive / Universal area – this is the place to go! I came in not knowing exactly what I wanted – I basically told him I was stuck choosing between chicken tikka masala and a biryani (my favorite traditional meal) – and after a polite conversation with the owner, he knew exactly what to do! After prompt delivery of a tasty Taj Mahal beer and some fresh garlic naan, out walks this BEAUTY of a sunset-colored biryani – and you could smell that tikka masala influence before it even got to the table! Aside from how amazing it looked and smelled, I could not have asked for a better blend of my two favorite Indian dishes. The spice level was perfect, the chicken was tender, and the aroma was just shy of intoxicating – and on a side note the consistency of their raita is perfect, not too runny!! Apart from the amazing cuisine I was about to indulge myself in, the service was awesome. From the owner down to the kitchen staff, everybody was so kind and so accommodating! On the way out, the owner caught me and told me to wait – he rushed back inside and grabbed a bottle of water for me, saying it was necessary for me to have water to accompany my leftovers. In a world of tired and burnt out restaurant staff, you don’t see an act of service like that too often anymore and I’m very grateful for that consideration!
Bottom line, if you’re in Orlando and you’re on the prowl for some good food – PLEASE make the trip, you won’t regret it!

Honestly, I had never had Indian cuisine in my entire life, and this was actually amazing. My girlfriend and I decided to go on a whim to try something new that we’ve never done before, and this was perfect. It was pretty empty dinner time on a Sunday night, but the waiter, who I believe is the owner, was amazing. He stood with us, talked about the meals, and even informed us of the proper way to eat our meals. They were wonderfully seasoned and filled us right up. I truly am not a fan of spicy food, but this spicy food is worth it!
The only true complaint I have is the temperature of the restaurant. Definitely seems like they don’t have a central A/C system, and when you’re eating spicy food, it’d be nice to be in a cooler environment. Other than that, 10/10, will definitely come again!!

Okay food with good customer service. They serve halal meat.
Edit: for the person who is saying I was never there please look at the pics. Hopefully you recognize your own food. In addition, please take reviews as an opportunity to get better NOT to get offended. As a reviewer I’m doing a favor to you to help improve/grow your business. Hope this helps!

This was the best Indian food I have ever had in last 10 years. This was recommended by a friend while we were visiting Orlando. You can’t go wrong w this place. Don’t know what to order? Ask for recommendations to the staff. Although a bit pricey, it’s totally worth the food. <3 I'd really fly to Orlando just for this lol
