Normally, these types of issues can be excused if the food is somewhat good but in this case the dishes were not tasty. My overall experience has caused me to no longer consider eating here again."

I had dinner here and the food is not only over priced but utterly hopeless. If the dinner was this bad, I pity the people who have to eat the buffet there. The food is in all probability being cooked by someone who has no idea about cooking Indian food. Any person who has an Indian cook book and spices could do better. Avoid at all costs!"

The two men working... I wouldn't say unfriendly, but I felt like I was some kind of bug. I said it was my first time there but they barely even looked at me and went back to to their conversation. The food itself was extremely bland and tasteless, the chicken tasted of nothing and was very dry. I liked the meatballs."

The only downside is the price... on the expensive side. Best to check out the lunch buffet so you can try a little of everything and the prices are lower during lunch. Our family would eat there weekly if the prices were lower...but it is one of our favorite "splurge" restaurants. "
