Reviews
What really stood out was the hospitality. Since I wasn’t familiar with some of the menu items, the staff kindly walked me through the menu, explained the dishes, and helped me choose. They were patient, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable. That level of service made the experience even better.
The environment was clean, comfortable, and had a great atmosphere. This is easily a 5-star restaurant, if not more. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious Indian food and amazing service!
The buffet – food itself was good, but they were refilling the food fast enough. I didn’t eat a lot of the food because they hadn’t refilled it and the refill time was anywhere between 20-30 minutes. A lot of food didn’t have enough salt and I had to ask for salt to add. They didn’t have salt shakers at the table. The number of items seemed less for “mega buffet” and seemed like just a regular buffet to me. I didn’t need the mega buffet but paid for it, so wondering what was mega about it. The service was well, they seemed to have staff shortage as they kept running around a lot. The ice cream was completely melted. Also, I think it would be a good practice to place that children would need to be assisted at the buffet as a lot of children kept putting their hands into the food which doesn’t seem very hygienic.
NYE Biriyani deal – we ordered egg biriyani and gobi manchuria. Both were very good, some of the big pieces of the manchuria were not thoroughly cooked, but the taste itself was very good. Would definitely recommend trying their biriyani.
Dosa night – they had 2 different chutneys, sambar, some kind of chaat, flavored rice and curd rice. Unsure what the flavored rice was but it wasn’t good. The dosas itself were tiny. I make bigger dosas at home. Some dosas were overcooked and some undercooked but overall all the dosas were good. They have a separate menu for the dosa night and again order 2-3 dosas at a time as it took a while for the dosas to arrive. A healthy adult could eat about 10 dosas easily (because of how small they were). You can finish one dosa in 3 bites or less. The tastes of the chutneys were good and the dosas were good too. I wish they increased the size of the dosa a little so I didn’t have to order so many times.
Had chicken tikka masala and butter chicken for entrees which were both very good. The mutton biryani was as a disappointment, less protein and very dry, seemed it wasn’t fresh. Mango lassi was very good to go along with the main course.
Overall, lot can improve, the service is very slow and not the best adding to the average food.
I tried the Indian buffet today and everything was incredibly flavorful and fresh. The variety was amazing — rich curries, perfectly cooked rice, soft naan, and delicious sides. Every dish tasted authentic and well-seasoned, just like home-style Indian food.
The buffet was well maintained, and the food was hot and fresh throughout. Definitely worth it if you love Indian cuisine. I’ll be coming back again for sure!
The service was also below average; we had to repeatedly ask for basic things like water and spoons, which should be provided without prompting. Overall, it was a horrible experience, and I wouldn’t recommend this place based on my visit.
Also all the photos are of left over food . Unfortunately we had leave it though typically I don’t waste food.
