Dined in on a Saturday night during which there was a very loud party on the sub level and a "green card" private party on the other side of the dining room. The service was very slow and our attendant kept walking away, even while we were speaking mid-sentence. Despite taking our order down on a tablet, we did not receive all the entrées we ordered. The "hara bhara kebab" was unlike any I've tried--it was just battered and deep fried potato without a trace of spinach or peas as was described. My vegetable biryani was 90% rice with a smattering of a few overcooked vegetables. All in all it was a disappointing experience but I may give this place another try as they offer a couple of specialties not commonly seen such as miloni tarkari and bagara baingan.

Santoor has to be hands down one of my favorite Indian Restaurant in this area. The food is excellent, restaurant is always clean and recent management change has given it an excellent look. We had visited last Saturday evening, it was a bit busy but we had an excellent experience. I had visited a few times since the management change and have never been disappointed. Food was always great and service is beyond outstanding. Our waiter, Emmanuel, really remembered our entire order from the previous time we visited which was at least 5 months ago. The other waiters were also very kind and helpful with all our needs. I would highly recommend Santoor if you're looking for an Indian Restaurant.

My friend raves about the buffet at this spacious Indian restaurant located near a small shopping area. There is paid parking out front but, the parking is free in the back. They haven't been back since COVID but, they been on numerous occasions with their family prior. We came on a Saturday morning to take advantage of their $15ish lunch buffet deal. Upon entry, we were promptly seated and got our plates. The buffet was a bit smaller than in the past. They had one soup, salad, 3 appetizers, naan, white rice, a chicken dish, dahl, goat curry, and a veg entree and two desserts. The food was tasty but, I wish there was more of a selection. The dahl and the chicken tasted delicious but, the chicken had bones in it. I don't really care for bones in my curry. While the staff did a good job keeping the buffet stocked, one time I picked up naan and it was still doughy. My friend and I both enjoyed our meal and thought it was an affordable price. I am not sure if they have a rotating menu but, I can understand why this is a neighborhood favorite because of the tasty food at affordable prices. The staff was friendly but, one of our waiters was a bit absent-minded. She sat us down and didn't even ask if we wanted anything to drink nor did she check in on us.
