Perfect spot for hungry college students. Obviously not the fanciest food, but that's not what I'm expecting for a $14 unlimited buffet.Recently went with a group of 8 and the manager came out and asked us if we wanted anything added to the buffet, made a fresh batch of pakoras, and refilled the mango lassi tank. Solid chole bhature, standard vegetarian/paneer dishes (palak paneer, malai kofta, aloo baingan), garlic naan, gulab jamun, and kheer. Can't comment on the meat because I'm vegetarian.Overall, probably not the spot to take your date on a Friday night, but 100% the spot to hit when you're starving and tryna stack your plate with pretty authentic Indian food.

The best restaurant to dine in around Oakland.The food is really good, we had samosa chaat, tandoori chicken and chicken tikka masala with some garlic naan. All the food was full of flavors and satisfying.The staff was helpful and made the food as we wanted with the spices levels as desired.Definitely recommended. Will be back soon again.Thank you for your service. ??

I attempted to order "the eggplant dish" for takeout and instead received scrambled eggs and basmati rice. Language barriers happen, that's okay. I wasn't mad, I just didn't get what I ordered. I called them, they said the chef made what I ordered, and when I went back, they apologized and wanted to give me another meal. I asked for a refund for the full cost of the meal ($12.99 for scrambled eggs and rice!?) and the worker tried to give me $10. I said the meal cost $12.99 and he said I only deserved $10 back because I had eaten the food. I hadn't taken a single bite. I politely asked for a full refund and was given it. It was a strange situation and I will probably not return to the restaurant.

Saying this place has gone downhill would be an understatement honestly. Used to be a decent go-to spot for years but the dining experience we had recently was downright horrible. We eventually concluded that they just do NOT remotely care about providing any degree of customer service to dine-in. Even the simple request of having the dirty-upon-arrival table we were seated at wiped down seemed like way too big of a request and even an annoyance to the person who waited on us. Food quality was as lacking as the ambiance, which included some weird seating setup where your choices are either ordering from the menu and getting seated alongside the beer distributor business they’re also running or going to a sketchy back room where they moved the buffet to (where you cannot sit if you order from the menu instead). Absolutely never coming back here and going to opt for better spots in town from now on.

I love all india!! I order here from door dash at least once a month and I would recommend it to anyone. This place was the first time I've ever tried indian food and I love it so much. Make sure you order enough naan lol

Don’t choose the buffet, always bad, cold food, rice is really dry hard to eat, I even complained to cashier but he didn’t seem to care , I guess, they knew already. Waste of money.

Better than average Indian takeout. Prices are truly fantastic and the portions are more generous than at most other Indian restaurants. Also, they have some unique offerings as well, such as sooji halwa, shahi tutti fruity, madras curry, lobster vindaloo, and so on. I got the salmon tikka masala, aloo tikki, naan, and sooji halwa.The salmon tikka masala was quite creamy. Had a great portion of fish in the curry and the sauce was not too spicy or overwhelming! Plus, the rice portion it was served with was equally huge. Aloo tikki was pretty good too, nicely fried and came in a great portion too.The naan was very fluffy and was a great size. Paired very well with the creamy sauce. The sooji halwa was interesting. Honestly, when I first saw it, it looked a bit like grainy cinnamo-ish sticks soaked in a syrup. Pretty strange to me. However, when I heated it up, the flavor was actually pretty good, sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. It was not very creamy, nutty, or similar to Middle Eastern halva. There was oil dripping from it after I heated it up, though.

Buffet - Rice is Fully Dried. Everything is not at all as per proper taste. I have tried so many Indian restaurants, but this one is worst in between all of them. Simple Suggestion- Try other place.

Very long wait time. Due to staff shortage, they refuse customers for dine in sometimes. The best part is the food is tasty, but service is really bad.

It looks like they’re a beer store in the front and an Indian buffet in the back. You just need to walk past all the new beer fridges. All India’s buffet is super budget friendly. You’ll have tons of choices for food for as low as $11-ish. The seating isn’t the nicest nor their silverware, but you’re essentially paying for what you get. The food on the other hand is still great. Sometimes when you go to a buffet the heaters aren’t warming all the food, but we found that everything was as hot as if it were cooked minutes ago. Having everything warm with plenty of variety of food to choose from makes it an overall good buffet. We went during lunch time and it was empty so we didn’t see the overall Covid safety practices. We wore our masks when getting the food, I can only hope others do the same.
