Worst food experience ever! Please don’t encourage restaurants like this, especially if you genuinely care about representing Indian food well. We visited around 10:30 PM on a Friday, expecting to enjoy a good weekend dinner. The staff was courteous and took our order promptly, so the service was fine. Unfortunately, the food was a huge disappointment. It honestly felt like the dishes were made from leftovers. The food lacked freshness, flavor, and quality. We ended up throwing most of it away right in front of the staff because it was simply inedible. The pulao was nothing more than plain rice mixed with leftover starters, and the curries were among the worst I’ve ever tasted. I would honestly recommend avoiding them. I’m sorry to leave such a negative review, but after spending a significant amount of money, it felt like a complete waste. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves the quality of the food. I won’t be coming back for the food. The only reason I’d return is to record the experience and show people exactly what was served.

the food is genuinely so bad i wanted to cry. i dunno what the freak they put in their mango lassi but it lowkey ruined my entire day… and the pastry was so dry and unflavorfull that it ruined the nostalgia i was seeking. Also the service was so off because they yell your name multiple times to come up to the counter and grab your items and in the end they forgot to get some of our stuff to us so i had to go up and request it. i didn’t have a good experience with this place in october of 2023 but thought i would give it another try but it genuinely pissed me off to my core.

I’m new to this place, so I apologize that I don’t know the names of the items. One of the servers was very accommodating and patient. He explained what the different items were. Tried several of the food items. One batch of what seemed to be a mix of spinach, onion and prolly jalapeño, breaded and then fried; just amazing. Some stuffed jalapeños were very flavorful with a little spice to them. Some very tasty bread balls were stuffed with a boiled egg, topped with onion, cilantro and chili. Was told that some donut looking rings, were corn flour with different veggies in the mix; some were on the dry side and some were a little more tender. Lastly tried there milk tea that I was seeing everybody was getting. Thought it was a sampler type of drink, cause they only have two very small size cups. When I asked for a 20 oz, they said that’s all they have; very small 3oz or small 6oz. I placed the coke can next to the bigger cup they have for comparison. Other than the very small delicious milk tea and a dry donut ring; you will definitely enjoy the huge variety of food and grocery items this place has to offer.

Do NOT fall for the Wednesday biryani offer. This restaurant is cheating customers with shrinking portions while keeping the same high price. Earlier, the deal (3 biryanis for $30, $32 for goat) had good quantity. Now the quantity has been reduced drastically, week after week, and the quality is terrible barely any meat, poor taste, and nowhere near worth the money. This feels like a bait and switch tactic advertise an offer, then quietly reduce portions and quality while charging full price. Regular customers are being taken advantage of. I feel completely misled and fooled. Save your money and avoid this place, especially on Wednesdays. There are much better and more honest options elsewhere.

Today, we came here for the unlimited breakfast and enjoyed our visit. At the front desk, we were greeted with big, warm, welcoming smiles by two young ladies. That itself, is reason for 5 stars. After paying for the buffet, I observed that the entire area was sparkling clean. The food was also well made. Keep in mind, we all have varying palates and preferences for spice levels. For us, this was good. It s imperative that I pay a compliment to the lady chef who prepared the exceptionally delicious upma with sufficient cashews; the aroma, texture, and taste were awesome. I was told it had been prepared in pure ghee. The chai was also the perfect consistency and flavor. We will definitely return to this place and promote it to our friends. Please continue to maintain your standard of cleanliness and retain your Upma chef and customer service ladies.
