New Flavor of India — Restaurant in Rosemead

My friend says she eats here almost once a week after she suggested that we give this place a try for a lunch date. I'm not the biggest fan of Indian food, but the reviews for New Flavor of India definitely looked promising. This AYCE buffet is located in the Target plaza by the Starbucks/Subway group of stores. And plenty of parking, so you definitely don't have to worry about that.

Ambience is pretty nice. They have very dim lighting (although the lights shining over the food are super bright!) making for a very pleasant dining experience. As soon as you're seated, you're able to grab a plate and head to the buffet line. I think the best thing about this place is their garlic naan bread - super light, with crispy edges, but once you get to the middle, it becomes softer and a bit thicker. I could sit there and eat several basketfuls!

There's a good number of items that are served in the buffet area, but my favorite items were definitely the tandoori chicken, chicken curry, and butter chicken. The rice was pretty flavorful as well! The butter chicken was probably my favorite out of all three - super creamy and soft, going amazing with the rice.

They also have several dessert items, but I opted to try the rice pudding, which was so good! I love tapioca pudding, and the taste definitely reminded me of tapioca pudding, just with a different consistency. I was full pretty quickly (probably from all that naan bread).

tl;dr - Service was really great - workers were constantly coming by to clear our plates and give us more naan if needed. Overall, a solid place to go for Indian food - and you can't beat the $9.99 AYCE lunch buffet deal! I'm not sure about their dinner prices, but coming here for lunch is a...

Please check your prices on your bill before you pay, may be different than what the menu advertised.

On 4-25-21, my wife and I had lunch at New Flavor of india and notice that the bill was significantly higher than the last lunch we had several weeks ago.

We looked at the bill and noticed that the prices charged per dish was more than what was advertised on the menu.

The dishes we had and the over charges:

On Menu: 1. Garlic naan $2.99. on bill was $3.99, we had 2 orders

On menu Tandorri chicken $11.99, on bill was $13.99.

On menu the curry lamb was $12.99, our bill was $14.99

On menu, our house salad was $2.99, our bill was $4.99.

In summary, if we did not noticed and questioned why our bill is $8.00 more than what the menu advertised, we would have unknowingly paid more than what we should have paid.

When we questioned the waiter why the prices are higher on our bill compared to what's advertised on the menu, he said the new menu with the higher prices has not been printed and available to customers yet. We were given the old menu with the old prices but were bill the higher price off the new menu not yet available to the customer.

We asked that the bill be updated to the prices on the menu. The restaurant refused but instead gave a 25% discount on our bill.

My complaint is the price on the menu is the price a customer should...
