A Great Indian Buffet As Always. Probably The Best I've Had
I've been eating here off and on for about 20 years, and it's still the best Indian food I've found. I've eaten at quite a few other Indian restaurants over the years, and I constantly find myself comparing them to this place as my baseline.
Several of the dishes here are favorites of mine anywhere. The seekh kabab, saag paneer, chicken tikka masala, mango custard, and rosewater donuts are all things I specifically come here for. When I'm craving any of those, this is the place I go.
The service is always great, and both the staff and owner are extremely friendly and welcoming. They also bring fresh-baked naan bread straight to the table, which is always a nice addition to the meal.
The lunch buffet is another reason I recommend this place, especially if you're new to Indian food or want to try a variety of dishes without committing to a single entree. There is usually a good selection to sample, and it's a great way to discover what you like.
The buffet selection has changed somewhat over the years, with a few items seeming to disappear from time to time. I don't visit frequently enough to say whether those items are permanently gone or simply rotate in and out, but there does seem to be a little less variety than I remember.
Even with that, this remains the Indian restaurant I use as my benchmark. After 20 years of visits, it's still the place I come back to when I'm craving my favorite Indian dishes.— Paul
