It was one of the occassions when I got to eat this place first time. I head lot of stuff (Good stuff) about them from past 5 years and tonight I went with my friends. I took the Buffet option ($30 per person) the best deal at this place. Lets start the review of food item: 1.. Beef chilly - The best ever I tried in winnipeg. 2. Butter chicken - Creamy texture and oomphing with spices, loved it. 3.Veg rattan Korma - Just wow. Creamy, sweet flavout and cheese. 4. Beef spice curry - Again what a wonderful dish, the taste of black pepper and rich spices just makes me wanna it again. 5. Roasted chicken - It was like average ( Nothing extra-Ordinary). 6. Saag (Spinach) chicken - I enjoyed it, every single bite of it. Saag is a well respected dish in indian household especially (North India, Punjab) and you cook chicken in it thats like icing on the cake. 1. Sweet Dish - Mango mousse (Wah ji wah amazing) 2. Gulab jamun - Just regular. 3. rasmlai - Exquisite. I am planning to come here again and again and my foodie friends you should also. I took the buffet option it worked out for me, I got to try almost all the dishes and fell in love with them. My mouth starts watering as I am writing this review. Love you east India restaurant.

Just had this tonight and although serving size was decent for what we paid, the whole experience was below standard. After we got to our seat, my partner’s chair was broken and had to be replaced. He ended up doing that himself despite informing the server. Server also never came back to take our order after she gave us menus. After waiting for a while, we tried multiple times to catch their attention (even for some acknowledgement they’re coming after what she was doing) but the server kept ignoring our raised hands. I had to stand up and ask the server if someone else was coming to take our order. After we received our food, we realized they made an error and did not give us the cheese naan we ordered. We mentioned this at the end of our meal, they finally provided it to us. We had the biryani and butter chicken. Although we asked for medium spice for both, neither of the dishes had any spicy flavor. The “butter” chicken came with a very light off coloured soupy sauce and did not taste anything like butter chicken. They sell bottled sauces at the counter and whatever they served us was not the same as that butter chicken sauce. At the end, we requested for to go containers for the leftovers. The manager (I assume since he was in a suit most of the evening) provided us with containers for our leftovers. Once we received it, there were crumbs in the containers and clear oil stains (as per images attached). These were clearly previously used and were not cleaned properly either. I informed the server about this, and an apology never even came from the manager who provided those to us. It is unfortunate as the place looked promising when we walked in. Hopefully their service gets better.

I can't believe I've never reviewed these guys before. YEARS ago when I lived elsewhere my brother took myself and our parents here after I returned from a trip to a India. I couldn't believe how delicious it was but I had only been in a India 3 months, so I was no Indian food connoisseur. Shortly thereafter I decided to return to India and then unexpectedly STAYED because I met the love of my life (Indian) and we remained there 5 years. When we returned to Canada, I DID consider myself a connoisseur! 😁 And obvs the husband is, too! We've been to loads of Indian restaurants in this city and this is the one we continue to return to. Authentic taste. Authentic design. Huge buffet selection. And they even let our kids sit on the marble lions for pictures. Price for kids is super reasonable. Their age + 0.95. And the owner, who has been there most of the times we've gone, is a super friendly, genuine guy. Treats each guest like they are important. This place is a win every time!

This is well known as the premiere place to go in Winnipeg for East Indian food. It has a one of, if not the largest East Indian buffet in the city. We used to go every Sunday. Sundays come with naan bread and mango lassi. Please note if you order anything but the plain naan you will get charged but they do not always bring out the naan bread and mango lassi unless you order it. I really like their cheese naan. They have 2 types. I prefer the cream cheese naan because it melts into all the crevices and the bread is softer. (Less crispy, that's my personal preference) My favorite is the butter chicken and they do a nice fish pakora. Their navratan is also delicious. The variety is so much that it's hard to pick and choose. Try the mung bean salad if it's available. Pricing is higher but the variety you get is also much more. At my last company, we used to also come here for Christmas parties because it would accommodate our vegan and vegetarian eaters well.

A very good place to have the east Indian cuisine. We had a lunch buffet and spread was amazing. Every item served was delicious in its own way. There was a huge variety of salads, pickles and sauces. The Veg Menu lists.. Veg pulav, Rice, Chana Masala, Navratna Korma (simply too rich in taste), Palak Paneer, Punjabi Kadhi, Dal Makhni. Next came the Non-veg Menu.. Spicy chicken wings.. ( actually mildly spiced and super tasty wings in Indian flavours), spinach Chicken, Chicken Tandoori, chicken 65, butter Chicken, Beef Kheema, Mutton curry.. The Naan was complimentary with Mango Lassi to sip along. There was a good variety of Desserts too each one as good as the next.. Mango kulfi, Ras Malai, Moong Dal Halva, Hot super soft Gulab Jamun, Carrot Halva Mango Mousse and Ice cream. All in all a super filling and amazing treat.

This restaurant has so much history that it could be a museum. It was Winnipeg's first Indian restaurant in 1967 and from the moment you enter to this beautiful place, you can see a bunch of wooden sculptures which we were told were even 200 years old, probably more. The decoration alone is an amazing reason to come, but as if that was not enough, the food is just as good! We tried to try everything from the bufette and no single dish disappointed us, there are many vegetarian and non vegetarian options for every taste. We were particular fans of the shrimp curry but every dish is worth trying. The staff is amazingly friendly and attentive and take care of you really well. This is a must visit place in Winnipeg!
