So good! I’ve had an excellent experience every time I’ve come. The food is amazing and the service is great.

I’ve tried the paper dosa and the goat curry. Both I found to be well prepared and tasty. I love the giant paper dosa and all the dipping sauces they give you. I enjoy South Indian food and will keep coming back!

Came here to use a groupon for 2 dosas, 2 wines, and 2 desserts. Although the groupon states a dosa up to $ 9.99, you can choose from any dosa and just pay the difference. You can also choose any drink up to $ 5.99 if you don’t prefer to drink wine. Our server was extremely attentive and nice. He explained the menu very well and made some great recommendations. He also checked on us multiple times to refill our water, soup, and sauces. He even brought a free sample of another dessert at the end! We each ordered a different stuffed dosa. Both were very good and definitely filling for dinner. Not sure how this place is on a regular night or for their buffet, but the groupon was a great deal, food was tasty, and service was awesome!

Buffet selection was incomplete with some items being served cold. The atmosphere was dark and dingy, and the buffet itself was overpriced. Will not be returning.

Decent buffet, kind of on the expensive side, $ 15 dollars. Good service. Atleast they give you a 10% Unilocal discount

Best place to go here for the masala paper dosa because it is crispy and there is plenty of it. It comes with three dipping sauces, I favor the peanut one, soup, and of course the potato masala on the side. We also enjoyed the pancake dal dosa with goat curry. It can be very spicy so watch out! Tried the birani rice today and totally not like the other biranyi dishes I’ve tried in the past, I didn’t care for it at all. others than that, I’ve found my dosa spot!

This has become my go-to place for Indian buffet(lunch). Really good stuff. I’m guessing that it’s more south Indian because some of the items are fairly spicy. Some of the best naan in town. Check it out for the lunch buffet, you won’t be disappointed!

Biryani used to be good, off late the biryani standards especially for to go’ have come down drastically, I gave them the benefit of doubt twice but three times in a row is not acceptable, biryani was not at all fresh and was stinking, I would like to know whom to contact to send more constructive feedback, WATCHOUT for to-go items and double check if they are fresh or not

Got chicken fried rice with schezwan sauce. Trust me even tomato rice cooked in house would taste better. No taste and worst customer service. They took more than 35 mins to get the order ready even when it wasn’t busy. Please don’t go here. Even the rates are very high

This is one of the best Indian buffets I ever had in terms of taste and number of items! I went on Saturday and they had papdi chat, ponganalu, upma, sambar, rasam, 4 vegetarian curries, 3 non vegetarian curries, veg biryani, chicken biryani, 3 kinds of desserts. I gave 4 stars because i didn’t like papdi chat. I felt like they mixed leftover potato stir fry in it and forgot to add chat masala. I would recommend it to others, especially if you are looking for more vegetarian Indian options.

We bought a groupon for 2 Dosas, 2 glasses of wine and 2 desserts. The Paper Dosas were huge but with very little filling. There was a tiny scoop of potato in there and the flavor was not that great. Not all of the Dosas included in the menu were a part of the deal so our options were limited. It cracked me up that we could choose from any glass of wine up to $ 4.99 but all the glasses were $ 5.00 and up. When I finally chose a glass of wine from what seemed a decent list, they tell us they don’t have any of the wines but 2 bottles of cheap cab and merlot. Eventually I settled for a beer. Since our entrées and drinks were not very good we chose not have dessert. Since we did not want the dessert they could not accept our groupon. We had to order dessert even though it was going to go to waste. It was ridiculous!

I love the food. However, I have to bring it up that from last few times I find the service has not been up to the mark. Especially when it’s gets crowded. For instance today I happen to go down with my family and one of the waiter serving us had no training on how to serve. He asked me to pick the bowl of tomato soup from the tray since it was hot! The next time when he came to serve he was about to hit the serving tray to my 2 year old who was sitting on the high chair. I had to pull my baby with me. The next time when another Mexican waiter came he actually hit his body/tray to the high chair. Luckily my baby was with me. Please improve your service. The waiters were respectful but lacked the basic capabilities to keep up the rapport !!

This is the largest Indian buffet I have ever seen! About 20 choices, and many of them were delicious! I will go back just for that. Well worth the $ 14.99 price, which also gets you two kinds of Dosas(Indian crepes) — all-you-can-eat. We saw mostly Indian and Pakistani patrons. So, why only three stars? The atmosphere is zilch. The table wasn’t perfectly clean, so we had to ask them to wipe it down again. And, our server was mostly talking on his cell, in another part of the restaurant, with his back to us. We had to flag down other staff to get most of our water refills. The Naan was very blah and greasy. We didn’t care for the Dosas — just not our thing. Like a folded over, think tortilla, but a very bland taste, with a little stuffing in the fold, which wasn’t interesting(at least those that came with the buffet.) This restaurant was a little hard for us to find. A little hole-in-the-wall next door to the Indian grocery(not inside it), and you enter the building, then turn left to get to the entrance. We will be back for the delicious, plentiful, and interesting buffet — now we know what we like!

Wow there are 17 hot dishes to try, things I’ve only seen in Meena’s kitchen, rarely at Indian restaurants. The naan was extremely fresh. I recommend for those that are sick of the old boring spinach, potato and chicken dishes.

I prefer Dosa here than lunch buffet although buffet had lot of varieties in dishes –veg/nonveg plus sweets are the best part of buffet – fruit custard, kheer, gulab jamun, gajar halwa, yumm! Buffet is around $ 15 per person and dosa as per menu is near about $ 12. Service guys are attentive here.

I came here with my boyfriend and we used a groupon for dosas and desserts. Other reviewers complained that this place gets busy and the service is slow, but we didn’t experience that at all. We came on a Thursday night and there wasn’t that many people there. We got to sit in a booth to our liking and our waiter was very attentive and explained what we could use with the groupon. Here is what we ordered: Stuffed Dosa Specila Dosa Shahi Tukda Gulab Jamoon We also ordered some lassis, which we were really happy about since we don’t drink. I recommend getting the mango lassi if you’ve never had lassi before; it’s pretty tasty and easy on the palate. I got the sweetened lassi which tasted like a yummy yogurt milkshake. :) The dosas we had were really good and came with three different chutneys. I don’t remember their names, but I liked the peanut-based one the best. The others were coconut and tomato, which were both good. There was a generous amount of filling in our dosas and we could barely finish them towards the end. I LOVED that this place had Gulab Jamoon. To me, they’re like fried donuts dipped in honey syrup. The best part is that they were served very warm; I’ve had them cold at other places which I find kinda gross. My boyfriend preferred his Shahi Tukda, which reminded me of french toast with raisins and cashews. It’s sweet, but definitely not sugary like the gulab jamoon. In the end we were both really full and could barely finish what we had. I don’t know why this place is only 3 stars because we had a very good experience with the food and the service. I guess it’s on the expensive side when it comes to Indian food, but with our groupon we ended up getting a good deal. I recommend!

Updated to 4 stars — the food was just that good and the service was very good as well. Original review: Lost one star because of lack of atmosphere and décor and because several of the buffet dishes were lukewarm or cold and the ice tea was sweetened. Three huge stars for the delicious flavours and food. I have no idea what I ate, in some cases, but I tried tasting a little of everything and everything I tasted was delicious. Nothing was too spicy, but the spicy dishes definitely had a kick. The goat curry was dark and popped with flavourful with the meat tender and falling off the bone. The fish curry was spicy and the fish was moist and not dried out. The butter dishes were quintessential Indian and the rice with all the delicious bits was so layered with spices, my taste buds were doing happy dances. We will definitely return. I want to give them four stars, but the food being cold is a real deterrent.

Been here for lunch buffet, and tonight for dinner buffet(Mondays only, I have been told). The room lacks any ambiance to speak of, the tv was playing India MTV, which looked interesting at least. First is a salad bar of sorts, with cucumber, lettuce, tomato and onion and an assortment of dressings and a couple of raitas… mostly low on the flavor scale. Next was a soup, I didn’t try it. Next, a carrot/bean stir fry of sorts and potato pakora… very flavorful, crisp and tasty. There were about four chicken dishes, ranging from ok(chicken curry) to very deliscious(Chicken Tandoori). The chicken Biryani was«ok», I ate two plates of it, but it was one of the more boring biryani I have eaten. Finished up with two gulab jamun, which were excellent, light and flavorful. There was nothing«wrong» with the buffet per se, it was a reasonable deal, and the food had decent quality, it just didn’t «wow» me, and with so many different dishes, spices, tastes and textures available in Indian cuisine, this is kind of a let down. Overall, I prefer the lunch buffet, it is a little less expensive, and is livelier during the day. For dinner buffet, I really like Ashoka the Great, it is in the same complex.

Went here for lunch with my brother, husband, and daughter. My husband loves spicy food. I can’t handle too much heat. I enjoyed the naan, vegetable kourma, and basmati rice. Everything else seemed to burn my mouth. They also had mango flavored pudding. The vegetable kourma was flavorful with spice. I enjoyed that on my white basmati rice. Everything had great flavor. I even tried the chicken. I don’t recall the name, but the chicken was soft and flavorful. Some food had heat while others had great flavor. If you check in on Unilocal, you get a free soda. I drank water with ice. My husband got the soda. Husband also had another coupon which was spend $ 40 and get $ 20 off. It saved us a lot of money. The service was excellent. We ended up getting the buffet which was the better deal. All you can eat for a great price. The waiter kept clearing our dirty plates. The waitress was very nice and kept refilling our waters. She also asked us if we were okay. The only gripe I had was parking. Very small parking lot out front of the restaurant. Overall experience was good.
