It took a little longer to get set up apparently as we had arrived a little before 11:30 but they didn't open until 11:45 am... Service improved dramatically once we got seated and the staff started to get into the flow. They were clearly busy leading into the opening but it was well worth it as the food was excellent. The spice level was decent, given that they are trying to cater to a wide palate range, and the dishes were all cooked well. The naan was fresh and excellent, but don't forget to ask for the dosa!! Given the lack of good Indian buffets in the area, this restaurant is a solid choice!!

Sunday buffet Review : Many options to choose from. I think non vegetarian food has more options than vegetarians. Ambience is okay(gets crowded). Dosa counter is a nice addition to the menu (be sure to ask for less butter/oil if you are health conscious; the quantity being added is insane on the dosa ) In general 2 appetizers +1 chat for vegetarians Main course has 2 varieties of rice (kinda plain and veg Biriyani types ) 3-4 curry choices (Paneer Bhurji , mixed vegetables, dal, kofta) tasted good Sweets : 3 choices , did not like carrot halwa , it was not cooked properly the other two options were amazing You do get a choice of drink (Lassi/Tea/coffee etc) on weekends Overall a decent place

Their lunch buffet is awesome. It’s around 20 dollars on weekdays and includes at least 15 or so dishes. The meat dishes are halal and the buffet also includes great beverages like chhaans (spiced buttermilk) and chai. They also offer different types of naan. The buffet itself includes some really good dishes such as chicken tikka masala, garlic chicken, chicken roast and goat curry, chicken biryani, veg biryani, chholey, Daal tadka, pav bhaaji, chaat, paneer, veg kebabs, pakora, salads, mix veg and a lot of other dishes. The desserts were excellent too and included some delicious gulab jaamun, saffron kheer and halwa. This is a really good option and service is quick and friendly!

We went here for a team dinner. And the food came out quick, however it did not come out at the same time. People were left waiting while other tables got their food. A bit pricey for a group. I would recommend this for a smaller team meal.
