Decent Indian in the RB area. I believe this location changed ownership a year or two ago so I have noticed some changes since then but overall it's still a nice local spot. I prefer to order takeout versus dining in but they have an affordable lunch buffet as well. Only thing that's sort of strange is that to-go orders don't include rice and you have to remember to add it as a side for $3. This is the only Indian place I've been to that doesn't just include it since it's sort of a staple for most dishes. I totally forgot to order it last time, but when I picked it up the worker was nice enough to give me a side for free. I'm sure this is a common occurrence for them. I mainly stick to the basic Butter Chicken or Tikka Masala and both are consistently tasty. Chicken is tender, sauce is flavorful, and portion size is enough for dinner and lunch the next day. The garlic naan is also a must!

I have tried their buffet previously, and I did not like it as the food was not so good and also, vegetarian options were boring. But recently, I tried Ala carte for dinner, and my opinion changed. I really like the food. They gave a complimentary papad basket with 3 chutneys and red chutneybwas so spicy and so addictive. Paneer pakoras was very different from what is offered at other restaurants. This was stuffed with some masala in-between paneer blocks and fried. It was awesome with the dips. Vegetable pulao was also very good, and we loved it. Kaju koya gravy, which we tried, did not satisfy what I expected. It was decent but not what I expected as I couldn't find any taste of cashews or koya whatsoever. Bullet Naans were decent and fluffy. The place was neat and spacious. Will visit again but only for Ala carte as thier buffet would not appeal vegetarians.

Came here for the first time and we will definitely be back. So many things to come back for We ordered: Palak paneer: 9.5/10 Malai kofta: 7/10 Garlic Chili naan: 10/10 Aloo paratha: 6/10 (slightly low on salt and spices maybe) They give a complimentary appetizer Papad Inside had booth seating and table seating. Good space and doesn't feel crowded at all. Price point on all food was very very reasonable for SD standards. I would highly recommend this place and will come back for the palak paneer and garlic chili naan and of course to try new items.

Very delicious and impressive Indian food! We came here at a weekday for buffet. They have a decent selections, including vegetarian and non-vegi. My favorite are the Spanish paneer, tikka masala paneer and chicken tikka masala. Their naan is so delicious as well, as a price of $15.99, it's very worthy.

Decent lunch buffet at $16.99 per person! My mom was craving Indian food so I decided to go with her even though I wasn't super hungry. We were seated immediately and there were lots of people in the restaurant despite it being a rainy day. We were served water and fresh garlic naan immediately after seating. There were about 15 dishes in total available encompassing both vegetarian and meat dishes, as well as chutney, onion, and raita. I really enjoyed the paneer tikka masala, goat curry, potato balls, and coconut chicken. Tandoori chicken was good but quite salty and some pieces were more burnt. After the second plate I had essentially sampled everything and got tired of the available options, but was full and satisfied. I also tried their carrot halwa and gulab jamun, both of which were decent. I think this lunch buffet would be even better with just a couple more dishes, perhaps fish or another rice dish. But for the price and prompt refills, I can't complain.
