"Sadly my favorite Indian restaurant after ownership changed also changed the recipes to the food. No iced tea available, the tamarind was more like a salsa and spicy. The buffet wasn’t refreshed during my visit. The nan was doughy, the server said that the food now is more authentic, I don’t think that was the issue. Nowadays with having to choose where to eat due to cost; service and food have to be high level and consistent."

"Tried the buffet at this Indian spot and it was honestly great. Tons of variety both veg and non-veg and everything tasted fresh. The tandoori chicken and butter chicken were especially good, and the samosas were super crispy. Loved the mint chutney too. The place was clean, the buffet was well-stocked, and the staff were on top of things. Definitely a solid pick if you're in the mood for Indian food"

"Did the to-go buffet and who I believe was the manager was extremely nice and let me sample after I was curious about one of the dishes. The recipe and dishes have changed and for the better! Everything is flavorful and cooked well. I’ve been coming here for 10 years already and the changes they’ve made are significantly good! Thank you for the delicious food and hospitality!"
