Imagine going to the your favorite Indian restaurant and when they ask you the spice level you say “0 spice, add extra cream to everything, make it all taste the same please”. That’s exactly what we had here. The service was great, we had some really nice staff attending to us, but the food is definitely catered to the basic American palette that enjoys bland food (no offense). There was a decent selection ranging from goat, to vegetables to curry and masala but it was all strangely watery and again, how did it all taste the same???. I’ve never tried biryani that looked almost white ?, not a clove in sight!Overall, if you guys want quick Indian food that has mostly non spicy options in the memorial area there is definitely this place, especially if your office is nearby! This just isn’t the spot if you want good, authentic Indian food. Set your expectations low and you’ll be fine!

Both curries were drowning in oil, with so-so flavor. We could only finish about half of each dish, because the oil was so overwhelming. Given the somewhat high price point, I was not expecting this place to be on the low end of Indian restaurants I've tried.

Felt mostly like a American version of Indian restaurant, food is only mildly spicy. If you like South Indian spicy food, and are going out to eat something spicy - I would not suggest this place for you.

Horrible customer service. I called to ask about Iftar buffet and was told it is rom 6 to 10 pm and was told price but they failed to tell me it was only offered only on Mondays and Tuesdays. We were a group of four and it took over 15 minutes to get us a samosa appetizer We ordered our main dishes and asked for naan but forty five minutes later nothing materialized. We decided to leave and just pay for samosa. Only then they claimed that our order is ready and their excuse for the delay is that they had many take out orders. Well if they can't handle both in restaurant customers and takeout order then they should offer takeout orders.

Great food, very delicious. We came for the buffet (it’s from 11-3) and everything was very well seasoned and tasty not too spicy either!

Top of the line staff and management. Upscale and very clean establishmemt.Delicious food. Excellent segregation of vegetarian food from the non -vegetarian in their lunch buffet. Fabulous desserts. Very reasonable pricing. Parking is adequate. For us inner city dwellers, the 20 mile drive each way is well worth the trouble.

Serves excellent indian food. They have a superb menu for weekday lunch buffet. They also serve dinner buffet on Monday and Tuesday. The only drawbacks are- 1. Food is quite expensive 2. Servers are too laid back sometimes to take order from the customers.

Pretty good buffet, reminds me of my moms home cooking. The environment was nice and service was good . I was impressed with the vegetarian selection because often times I feel a buffet isn’t worth it price wise due to limited vegetarian options. I wish they would include paneer tikka masala (I did see chicken tikka masala) and a vegetarian curry dish in the buffetGiving it 4 stars and not 5 because I think the naan could be much better. It is thicker and harder that what I’m used to. I like it crispy, thin, fluffy :) if they fixed the naan I would be back way more often !

They serve old and frozen food, it smells like frozen foods are microwaved. It is definitely unhygienic and all rice item smells bad. It seems they are using mustard oil in non veg preparation. I can never eat any food ever again!

The food was very good and they had a larger selection than the other Indian restaurants I've been to. The staff is very friendly and the service was excellent. Will definitely be coming back and recommend it to anyone who loves Indian food ?
