“ Always a great place to go for some really great Indian cuisine! It's hot and fresh ! ”
“ Service was delightful. Naan was amazing. Food was tasty. All you can eat... all good. Enjoy! ”
“ So good! I went for the lunch buffet, and for its asking price, it's not bad at all. The servers greeted us right away, and was attentive the whole time. It's a nice place with strobe lights going off the whole time. The food was very flavorful, I just got too full too quick to be able to try anything besides the butter chicken, which was delicious. ”
“ I've been visiting this place for several years. Before the pandemic, they had a buffet, but it was discontinued in 2020. On my latest visit, I was thrilled to find the buffet back! However, the selection was quite limited, and I was disappointed to see that my favorite, tandoori chicken, was missing. Despite this, the quality of the food was excellent. Some of my favorites included Aloo Gobhi, Fish Curry, Chicken Tikka, Daal, and, when available, Tandoori Chicken. The service was generally decent, and they were particularly attentive in keeping my water topped off. The dining room was spacious and nicely decorated with artwork, making for a pleasant dining experience. ”
“ Taste: 4 stars. I can't tell if I like the Okra. It tastes kind of hollow. Kinda like it's fried but still a little soft. Rarely eat okra, so can't compare. Cauliflower with potatoes was not bad. First time trying this dish. I would order it again. Soft and has kinda like a curry flavor. Chicken tikka masala: 5/5 good flavor. Our usual. Kids love it and we have to always order double of the garlic naan as well. Price: Ok. We always forget our % coupon. It's either 10 or 15% in the Riverside or IE magazine mailer. Parking: Free. Plenty. Location is easy to find, in same plaza as Chase bank, Northgate market, and Frostbites. ”
