Over the years, this location had been a few restaurants. Last time I passed through this door it was a Mexican restaurant. Sadly shortly thereafter that restaurant closed. Nevertheless, this Indian restaurant has occupied this space for probably 10 years. I must say dinning at an Indian restaurant is a new experience for my wife and I. We have been to one place in Central Valley numerous times, but it is high end. We decided to try this place yesterday and our overall experience was great! Apparently they are known for their buffet, but I had no interest. We ordered Butter Chicken, Jerra Rice, Lamb Biryani and Chili Garlic Naan. We had a difficult time trying to understand what was in Biryani dish other than it was spicy and had lamb. The guy who brought it to our table was friendly and spoke English well. Had we known the Biryani was more of a rice dish, we wouldn't have ordered the other rice. All was very good. The Butter Chicken looked different than the one I had before, but was very tender. Parts of the lamb dish were chewy and had a lot of rice. Very flavorful. I would definitely come back to try other dishes.

It's been a while since I came here, and I had to write an updated review. This place has some delicious food, the tandoori chicken was fantastic, the chicken Tikka Masala has a wonderful flavor to the sauce, as did the butter chicken, and the dish with peas and cheese was just so darn good! Honestly, I ate till I was stuffed because it was so tasty. They are very generous with the naan, and the place looks like it does a great take out business. Definitely worth coming here if you are in the area.

This place was actually pretty awesome! The ambiance was not much of a factor for this visit as I made a to-go order, but they took my order near closing and were happy to see me come pick up (with a full dining room near closing time too). The joint is in a tiny location, definitely a local joint feeling and the kind of place some might shy away from because it looks so 'hole in the wall' but so worth it. Service was good, as I mentioned the staff were awesome in explaining their heat levels and didn't scoff at a late order near closing. The food: excellent. My mom had a chicken tikka masala (very mild--she doesn't tolerate heat at all) and they executed on that beautifully. I had the butter chicken and it was likewise tasty. Garlic naan was crispy where it needed to be, soft and pillowy elsewhere. Great flavor too. I'll be coming here more for sure.

I come here often for their buffet which is offered Monday-Saturday 11am-8:30pm. They have plenty of seating available inside. There is always a great selection of vegetarian and meat options offered in the buffet. I love coming here as a vegan, they usually have Dal, rice, samosas, and pakora available. They also have a large menu with plenty of other options if you want to order takeout or to try one of their other dishes that aren't available in the buffet. The staff are always friendly and helpful in answering any questions you may have. Definitely recommend this place.

YESSS finally!! I have been on a hunt for indian dinner buffet for so long. My favorite place off Hostetter closed down during COVID and I was so sad. A lot of indian buffets are usually during lunch time weekday, and I can never go because of work. I love indian buffets because I get to try a variety of things that I would never personally order otherwise. It was my first time coming here and was meeting a friend here. I was so confused when driving here, it looks like SOMEONES HOUSE! but I pulled in and saw marked parking spots on the side. There were probably 5 parking spots but there are definitely more by the sidewalk if there isn't any more room. Anyways I walk up to the door that looks like a house door, and into a restaurant. it's a smaller restaurant, but has abundant seating. There were only one or two other tables besides me and my friend. They gave us water and utensils right away. We went up to the buffet line. it says you use one tray or two plates for buffet. not sure if that means you are only allowed that many plates, no more if you finish over that amount. Did not get a chance to ask or wonder about it since I got really full from one tray There were an assortment of curries to choose from, some fried snacks, chicken, rice, and yogurt. The goat curry was spicy and so delicious -- probably one of my favorites there! it has that nice gamey kick. The chicken tikka masala + butter chicken were creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was tender. tandoori chicken was a bit dry and had one left when I got there (645pm on a weeknight). Im sure they restocked. I also enjoyed their malai kofta and palak paneer! Their mini samosa and pakora were crispy too. I passed on the rice and did not have room for yogurt. At the beginning of dinner, the server asked us if we wanted garlic naan, which we said yes to and he brought it out steaming hot! It was so fluffy and good, perfect amount for my friend and me. Pricing was good too, under $20 per person for the buffet. would definitely come again!

This is my favorite spot for Indian food. My wife loves it too. We've had a la carte and the buffet. My wife first tried it at work- her indian coworkers ordered it for a team lunch. The buffet is really good. There is a wide selection and the food is fresh. They always refill the food promptly. My favorite is the tikka masala. My wife loves the butter chicken. There is also some indian dessert, but we've never tried it. When ordering a la carte, we typically order the lamb curry, orka and onions, and naan. There are two sizes so be sure to clarify which one you want. The price is fairly expensive compared to other places but its worth it. I brought food over to my mom's house for sunday dinner and everyone loved it. There is plenty of seating- booths and tables. The place is fairly clean. The bathroom is super small so make sure you go before coming in- its not the cleanest bathroom.
