If you're new to Indian cuisine, I recommend a buffet to try a variety of dishes. That said, this is the best Indian buffet that I have been to. The atmosphere is classy and elegant and the food is incredible. They only serve a buffet at lunch until 2pm and the price is $15. Each item is unique and exploding with flavor. I drive an hour to get to this place and it's well worth the trip. I wish I more stars to give!!

Been 7+ years and multiple visits to this restaurant. This is one of my favorite Indian restaurant around the area. Most of the time I go here for lunch buffet. Me and my hubby goes here when we crave so much for Indian food.Tasty and quality food, lots of variety, plenty of space, fast service and what not. This place is always full but we don't have to wait for so long. Not only desi crowd but equally (or even more) non-desi I see here..Fruit custard is always a hit for me.This time I so loved their fresh mix veg pickle that I purchased it separately (Now they know who is posting this review ?)

I visited Madras Chettinaad, took food and made payment. We were almost on the gate some other person came running - and asking for money and say - you did not payed though we showed him receipt. His behavior was extremely strange and abusing. I recommend - please do not go to this restaurant unless owner do not promise or demonstrate a guarantee that - such kind of staff will be removed from the job.

I entered into restaurant around 2:30 and at main entrance staff said - we are closing so only to go. I said - I totally understand hence I took food As to go and paid money. All of sudden new person appeared and started yelling that — you did not paid and I said here is the receipt and we paid and go and check with him. I told him clearly that - we don’t take food with out paying. When he knew that he is in fault , he started yelling on me and said in Hindi - tum grahak log aata hai aur humara matha kharab kerta hei. In English it means that - customers come here and screw up our mind. I was shocked for a moment and realize that - I made a mistake by coming here. I will recommend that - try to avoid this restaurant.

Sign of falling Indian food authenticity , Lays Chips sauté as curry . Value for money on buffet is 0.

Restaurant is spacious and clean. The buffet bar had English translations but you should still know a little about the cuisine to choose what you're interested in. The flavor was awesome in almost all dishes. (I personally love curry). The mango custard was a delicious finish to our lunch. First restaurant in 2 years that has made my "definitely returning to" list. *Note- patrons are asked to not load your plate up if you're not sure you are going to like your choice. Have fun and let your palate love again!

Amazing food and lovely service no matter how busy they are. Jyoti, are waitress was awesome. She almost handled the entire floor single handed an hour before closing time in busy day. Food taste awesome, well cooked no doubt..finger licking good! Must visit the lunch buffet!

We had the lunch buffet and everything we tried was great!The staff did a good job keeping the buffet stocked despite being pretty busy.On weekends, try to get there before the major lunch rush. We arrived around 12:15 and waited 10 minutes. By the time we left, the crowd waiting for a table was out the door.

This is a place you go to when you want to have a grand Indian lunch buffet. This place is so popular that there is always a wait for the buffet (15-20 minutes). The restaurant has a good variety of South Indian food, tandoori appetizers and other Indian specialties. I have been here before on multiple occasions and have had pleasant experiences but today was a different day.As usual, I was asked to wait for sometime. There is a waiting room outside and we sat there. After 30 mins, I checked with the lady at the counter and saw that they had already crossed our name in the list. Upon inquiring, she was extremely rude and said that she called us four times which was not true as we were sitting in the waiting area right outside. She could have simply apologized and given us a seat on the next chance but her rudeness was extreme and she was aggressive. She must be having a bad day but then she should not be handling the front desk if she is upset about anything.We sat for our buffet lunch and the food was average today and the food counters were all empty. There was a delay in refilling the food.The dosa and the uttapam were hard to get as there was a huge waiting and the kitchen was too slow. Overall, the kitchen was not able to keep up to service the number of people they were hosting and it was a really bad experience.We complained to the person at the front counter about the unavailability of food and instead of apologizing or trying to help, the person rudely admitted that they were slow and asked us not to pay for the buffet if we were not satisfied.Provided that they are really popular and have been around for a long time, they should know how to manage the crowd and the kitchen.We were not satisfied with the overall experience. The food was just okay. It wasn't something that I would like to go back to again.On the way out, the owner was considerate enough to charge for only one person rather than the two of us which was the only saving grace.I am not sure if I am going to be back there soon or recommend it to anyone.

We came here for lunch on Saturday and Saturday and it was amazing. If you want a good seat get here before they open because they quickly fill up. Due to covid, they did not have full Capacity.As for the food,You have many options here whether you eat vegetarian or meats. There are 4 bars containing 10 to 12 items each. Each bar has its own category of food.To give you an idea of what type of food is available they had the following while we were there.Chicken 65, chicken tikka masala, Mutton curry, Gobi manchurian, fish curry, Biriyani, dosa, uthulpalm, sambar, naan, noodles, tandoori chicken, mixed kebabs, jelebi, and more. I'm going off memory ... because I forgot to take pics.The only criticism I have is that they didn't have tea. No chai, and they didn't offer to make it either.That said, it is worth checking out.
