Updating my review 12-14-24 So I was driving my spice of life and thought about the great food experience we had, I dont like to leave negative or bad reviews but when you are expecting a good food and does not fulfill your expectations thats where i dont mind. Made a call for pick up order around 3:30pm to place an order for 3 different type of curries and some naans but when I got to the restaurant looks very appealing and nice atmosphere after renovation. So I decided to look through the Buffet and add some more delicious curries and fish pakoras including Gulab Jamun. At home we opened the curries beside nihari eveything was very very oily which shouldn't be and fish pakoras were under cooked and chicken in Tikka masala was over cooked since it comes from the skewers, naans were little on the raw flour side which could have been properly baked in the oven. So at the end of today's experience I would think twice to pick something here. I wouldn't mind going for buffet since everything is out in the open. Great place for dinner, especially they have a new bbq buffet tray which include some of the delicious meat and vegetables.

This review is specifically for their catering service. First of all, I want to warn all prospective customers: Do you own Math and tell them how many trays you need instead of number of people. I told them items for 30 people and they sent me tons of food and charged me $1100 for it. Almost 70% of it was not used. The worst thing was that I specifically requested metal trays underneath the aluminum disposable trays and they completely ignored me. Afterwards, they said that they do not provide it for catering. Now, I usually cater food at least twice a year, and I have been doing it for 15 years and even small, home based businesses carry either metal trays or, double tray it for stability. While carrying the left over tray inside, the whole tray spilled, marring a dress and making a mess. Their customer service is horrible. I send them the pictures, no apology, no compensation, just arrogant, "we don't provide metal trays for catering." Bottom-line: stay away.

Absolutely a place worth stopping by. The food is fantastic and well prepared. One of the best halal food restaurants serving Indian, Pakistani, Chinese, and Thai cuisines. We had their lunch buffet and it was pretty decent. There was a wide variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, like Potato Masala Fries, Veggie Chow Mein, Channa Masala, Naan, Palak Panner, Panner Butter Masala, Chicken Tikka Kebab, Fish Pakora/Fried Chicken Strips, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Biryani, Goat Curry, Mongolian Beef, Rice Kheer, and Fresh Salad. They also have hot tea which is included in the buffet. If you are lucky, sometimes you may even get to try Beef or Goat Qabuli Pulao. They have buffets during weekdays and weekends, but there is a cost difference. Their service is also excellent, and the waiters are highly welcoming. The decor is updated and clean, and the bathrooms are spotless. We love their variety of food and the spices. We will most definitely go again.

This place is a Chinese Indian food. The food might be a little spicy for some people. It's a buffet so you can try what you like. It tastes good but it's not truly Indian food. This is an update my son around me like this place so we went there about 5 months ago to have lunch. So I decided to take lunch home for my wife, so while I was serving myself I was taking the the food that I thought my wife would like. There was a woman there gave me the container and stood next to me and told me that I have to pick a little bit of everything. I told her that I was going to pick what I like. She told me that I could not do this. Well there's a dish that I like and I knew my wife would like so I just start feeling the container with that. She saw me and told me that I could not do that once again. Since I had pick other things in the containers I just went ahead and paid for it. So I did not go back for many months because I was mad. So about a week ago my son-in-law insisted to have lunch there again so we went. While we were there a customer came in to buy takeout. And since we had a table right in front where the food is I could see and yes I did watch him to see what he was going to pick. And yes he picked only one thing and feel the container to maximum and also filled the container they gave him for the salad with the same thing and the waiter was watching him and did tell him anything about he has to take a little bit of everything. The thing is this is a buffet so you could take whatever you want. And if that's the rules that you have to take a little bit everything then they need to post a sign stating that. I also noticed that they cut down on the different dishes that they had previously served. I don't think you're supposed to be telling your customers what to eat. I'm not asking for anything for free I'm paying for it. The management needs to watch their employees and how to speak to their customers. And yes I'll go back and eat...

"The person at the counter was very rude."

I’m writing to express my disappointment with the recent experience my friends and I had at your restaurant. We are a group of six and have been loyal customers, visiting your restaurant every weekend. We love the food, which is delicious and has a wide variety of options, and we’ve always had positive experiences in the past.

However, during our most recent visit, things took a turn for the worse. After finishing our meal and tea, one of my friends paid for the food and the tip, as he usually does. When we were ready to leave, an older man at the counter accused us of leaving without paying. We calmly explained that we had already paid, and advised him to check with the staff. He seemed confused and spent about five minutes searching for someone to confirm. Finally, he found the main person in charge, who apologized and explained that he had not informed the older man that we had already paid.

To avoid any future misunderstandings, we kindly suggested that a simple note at the counter indicating that the bill has been paid could prevent such confusion for other customers. However, the response we received was shocking. The staff member told us that they didn’t need any more customers, as they already had plenty, and added that we were not welcome back next time.

This treatment was completely uncalled for and left us feeling disrespected and unwelcome. We’ve been regular customers for a long time, and we expected better communication and customer service from your staff.

I hope you take this feedback seriously and address this issue so that future customers don’t experience the...

This was bad you guys, like I'm trying to think of something redeeming about it and......nope. Just can't do it.

A lot of the reviews I read said no buffet during week which I'm down with cause buffet=no way for this chick so I walk in with the regular dining experience in mind.

Place is cavernous, dark, empty and almost silent. Don't wait too long but long enough for it to get a bit awkward before a man finishes his conversation and motions me vaguely towards a table and starts clearing off the extra glasses. I stumped him momentarily when I asked for a menu, he just says how much the buffet is and keeps going. When I say no thank you and start to walk out he grumbles that he can get me a menu.

I sit on one of the most uncomfortabe chairs I've ever had the misfortune of letting my keister kiss and immediately sit up straighter just to avoid touching the back. Fine. I could use better posture anyways. He takes my order, I open my book thinking maybe the food will be awesome and the discomfort will be worth it.

(Spoiler alert! It wasn't)

The Aloo Matar was seasoned fine but the potatoes were a bit raw in the middle (it's a potato and pea dish) and the Garlic Naan was dry, burnt and cold.

Perhaps it was just a really off day but I'm going to stick with Tandoori Grill from now on. The only downer with them is they're...
