Just to give you some background, I don't actively get Indian food so my review probably isn't the best. I will most likely be reviewing it based on the taste of the food. So, I went on a Sunday around 1:30 PM. I was able to get their buffet for $15; however, if you wanted to have bottomless champagne, you would pay $25 instead. The atmosphere of the restaurant was a narrower, but cozier restaurant in comparison to others that I have been inside. The decor on the walls seem to be traditional Indian paintings -- though don't quote me on this since I am not very familiar with Indian culture. The cleanliness was great and I saw one of the waitresses clean up both the table and the booth when people were leaving. Even though the entire restaurant was about 1/2 full when I entered, the service was impeccable. It wasn't until the restaurant was full when I left that the service started to slow down -- though not to an egregious level. The food itself was good. Each of the items had flavor and they had a decent selection from which you could choose. Some of the meats (like the chicken) were a bit dry, but other meats (like the goat curry and chicken curry) weren't. I also liked the sweetness of the cantaloupe that they provided; it wasn't too sweet, but also not too bitter. As for the salad, I wish they had some more premium ingredients inside of it like tomatoes and cucumbers rather than just romaine lettuce, but it could be that people picked them off already whenever they got the salad. Overall, I enjoyed the restaurant and was bloated (my own fault) when I exited. I would recommend trying this place as it is a good amount of food/variety for the price!

We ordered off the menu before. And liked what we had then. They have a lunch buffet there also. Good decor & friendly staff. Went there again a little before noon and got seated right away. Ordered a lot off the menu again. Enjoyed are meal and had many to go boxes. 😃

Owner is friendly, service is acceptable. There were only 3 tables filled and we still had to wait a while to get our order taken. They have a lot of pick up/to go orders and I guess only one person handles both that and waiting our table. We also had to ask for water each time. Once again, with 3 tables, it's not ideal I'd have to ask for water each time I needed it. On to the food. Portion size is more generous than what I'm used to. The chicken Tikka masala was amazing. Chicken was very tender, sauce was delicious and flavorful, and it was very fresh. Lamb vindaloo was prepared spicy, and it was on the verge of being too spicy, but that's how I ordered it. I handle heat well, and this was at my limit before I start tasting only heat and not the flavors. The tomato, potato, and lamb were all tender, sauce has good flavor, and on the basmati rice it was comfort food for sure. On the side we also ordered paneer naan and garlic naan. The paneer naan might be the softest naan ive ever had. It was steaming fresh, doughy but firm, and a great dipping vehicle for the Tikka masala sauce and meats. The garlic naan was also delicious and fresh, a little thinner, and a little crisp on the edges. Also perfect. All in all, definite repeat, definitely will try the other items or get all the same ones again. Great food, Service could be improved. Sadly 4 stars. If service was better, 5 stars easy.
