A friend of mine invited me to this place, and she was raving about it. Me eaten before actually in India, I was a little bit hesitant.. but I didn't tell her that. I love to try places that they consider themselves authentic. Since it was for lunch, we had the option to eat the buffet or à la carte. We chose a la carte. We got some naan and I got a plate with multiple type of meats (totally forgot the name). The naan was average - definitely not as tasty as the authentic one. Now the meat it was super delicious and the service was outstanding. I would come back for that plate. read more

i've actually been ordering and going to this restaurant for a few years now I'm not sure why I didn't get to the review until now. It's one of the few places in the area that I can get Bombay Aloo. It's absolutely delicious and it's pretty much the only thing I get. They also have onion and chili options that I cannot find it other restaurants. They also always make it extra hot for me. So the service is top-notch. Highly recommend trying it if you haven't already. read more

First time visiting this restaurant. The food is delicious and authentic. Waiter is very nice and attentive. My only concern is the place is a little rundown and needs a makeover. read more

Great food and service, waiter was very friendly and helpful. He always refilled the glasses when needed. Food was very authentic and the flavorful. The place needs a makeover to really stand out. But besides that it was very good. Would highly recommend this place going forward. read more

Ordered delivery last night. The tandoori was tender, moist and delicious The Samosa Chaat was a different configuration from others I have had. Rather than a whole samosa in it it had lots of crispy fried pieces in f samosa wrapper. That added a nice texture to the dish. Honestly this place is too far under the radar. Food is consistently good read more

This place was a solid 8 in my book but they just moved down to a 6. It was warm on the inside like there was a problem with the air-conditioning. The staff was board and looked like they had nothing to do. My samosa was cold on the inside. They no longer serve tea or lemonade. My lamb was good and they still have my favorite Nan...so that's what makes me go back for now (and it's close). The goat was full of bones..more than usual....I hope it improves before I come back read more

Absolutely delicious! Love the crispy samosas, the stuffing is amazing, spicy and seasoned to perfection! Very difficult to find the right balance in a samosa stuffing, this is the only place I've enjoyed the perfect samosa! My go-to take out & delivery place! Thank you read more

This is my favorite spot for delicious Indian food! The staff is always welcoming, the restaurant is clean, and the buffet is an incredible deal. The daily lunch buffet is a must-try - everything is packed with flavor. My personal favorite is the butter chicken, but honestly, every dish is amazing! read more

Watching the World Cup and had a craving. Love that they are willing to prepare our order, this late!

Great option when you are craving some curry! Not a lot of food for the price, but a better deal than some of the other Indian Restaurants in the area. The dining room was empty, so I am glad I was doing takeout...but I will definitely order from here again! read more

What a wonderful experience! The food was fresh and the service was phenomenal! We came in as a party of 10 and we all sat together with room to spare. The ambiance was quiet and inviting. It's the best Indian food buffet I've been too! Thank you. read more

I go here for the lunch buffet and it doesn't disappoint! A solid amount of food for the price you pay and it's usually not very busy in here which is great for an introvert like me! I love their naan (although can be really crunchy at times, ig it depends who makes it), butter chicken, chicken biryani, palak paneer, and gulab jamun. They have an abundance of protein and vegetarian options as well. read more

I love Indian food, especially paneer dishes. Everything was very flavorful and delicious! I would definitely come again. The price is also great! The paneer was my favorite, no surprise there. I just wish the buffet trays kept the food warmer. read more

In the mood for Indian food? I was visiting east Orlando and we decided to check Yelp for a suggestion of Indian cuisine. Good Choice- lots of pick ups by Uber and grub hub. We were also alone in the dining room at 6:00 by 7:00 there were four other tables with customers. We ordered shish chicken- which arrived on a sizzling plate with onions and peppers, we also ordered vegetable korma (mild) and red curry shrimp (spicy) not for me. Along with plain and garlic naan. What I ate was great and left overs and an extra order of korma went home to my son. Great dinner- we will go again!!! read more

Super clean place with great service and amazing food. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor, and the staff couldn't have been nicer. I'll definitely be back! read more

Yes, yes give me more Indian food. I love the spice. I love the masala. The numb bread. It was a great experience overall for me thank you.

It's been a while since we visited because I had been periodically ill but today was the day. The restaurant was busy, which was good for business. Staff was as friendly as always and remembered us from months ago. We had the Saturday buffet and it was just packed with amazing dishes. The lamb brihanni was absolutely delicious, the tandoori chicken, and different other dishes were all a must and very tasty. The restaurant ambience was calm as we remembered so our 3yr old was not a problem. The restaurant in general was very up kept, clean, and organized. We are loyal patrons and high recommend them if you're into great authentic Indian cuisine. read more

Service is awesome, always sweet and helpful when I have questions. The ambiance is cute and cozy and they have some cute LED lights, music is good too. Oh my god the food! The food is insane. There's so much flavor, good portions, just overall some of the best Indian food I've had. In love with this place, have returned multiple times. read more

I have come here a few times with a friend because it's super close to campus and I was recommended by a different friend of mine. This is by far the best Indian restaurant food I've eaten and the staff here have always been super welcoming and friendly. They definitely deserve any customers here!! All that aside, the menu options have great variety and are so flavorful!! read more

Love this place ! The young gentlemen that work there are always so nice to me! Food always great taste ! read more

Tried this restaurant for the first time last week. We ordered our food via Uber Eats and we were missing one of the orders of rice, which ended up not being too big of a problem because they did give plenty of rice in each serving. We ordered a Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Lentil Soup, basmati rice, and Garlic Naan. While we did enjoy the flavor of the food, my biggest complaint is that the Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala were very greasy. The garlic naan is probably one of the best I've had in this area, so I would definitely recommend it! I don't personally like lentil soup in general, but my mom said she enjoyed this one. Overall, I enjoyed the food and the prices. Had it not been for the greasy sauces in the Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala, I likely would've given 5 stars instead. read more

There are a couple locations around Orlando but this one is by far the best! Service is always attentive and friendly, and the food is spectacular. Whether you're ordering from their lunch buffet or from the menu, you can always expect delicious, fresh, authentic food. My favorites are the chicken tikka masala, chicken 65, and garlic naan. This is my new go-to Indian restaurant! read more

Food was decent . Nothing spectacular. Service was slow. Ok place to get Indian food for cheap.

We arrived late for lunch and even though they were busy finishing up the service the welcomed us with a smile and served us with a smile. The chicken tikka masala was very good and the tandoori chicken were good. Biryani rice was above average. The naan bread was fresh and delicious. read more

I'm scratching my head on those that posted such high raves on this restaurant. For one the food options to Indian food was just fair to say the least. Their palak paneer was way too salty so I mentioned it to them and they didn't do anything about it. I asked that they try it because it was not edible. Also their butter chicken was dry and not very tasty. I think to give it two stars only cause there was nothing to leave me wanting to come back. I believe Ahmed's on OBT tasted much better and the employees were much nicer hosts. read more

Food is always great here.. specially biryani!! One of our favorite place!! Service is good as well! read more

The food was NOT good. Perhaps the time because we went around 1pm on monday but I wanted to be open minded and try a little of everything from the buffet. Half of the food is cold, and the other half is flavorless slop. Maybe a good place to take your grandma with no teeth. read more

While not terrible, it certainly does not shine by any means nor in any particular way. Indian food is supposed to intricate in its flavor, this was, for lack of a better description, one dimensional and somewhat flat. The vindaloo, at Indian hot, had an appropriate level of heat (though I would have liked it hotter), but I miss the deepness, the layers of flavor that Indian food should possess. All in all, a generally mediocre experience. read more

If I had to define this restaurant in one word it would be AMAZING !!!! I love everything they serve at the buffet and I find myself coming here everyday lately. The food is so wonderful and the staff is friendly and very attentive when it comes to making sure you get whatever you need without having to ask or look around for a waiter. The atmosphere is quite with Indian music softly playing in the background so you can enjoy your meal without being distracted or disturbed. Plus, they have a point system so the more you come you can gain points until you want to cash them in for whatever you want. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy authentic Indian food... great job Ahmed please keep up the great work. read more

Love this Indian restaurant for the reliability, the excellent food, and the exceptional service. I typically always just get the chicken tikka masala mild, because I am a spice wimp, and it is always flavorful and plentiful. Love the tender breast chicken chunks and the tasty sauce. I can usually get at least two meals out of a serving. The rice that accompanies the dish has so much flavor also for what looks like plain white rice. My family members are more adventurous and always enjoy their meals here too. The naan bread and the roti are both hot and fresh always. I am always super impressed when we order large take out orders with multiple items and multiple spice levels and everything is ready for pick up quickly, correct, and labeled and packaged perfectly. read more

As a UCF student, this place has saved me so many times. I went here at least once a week and still visit when I'm in the area. It recently got renovated and looks much nicer. The staff is always friendly and attentive. Their lunch buffet is a steal, they have it every day and it has a lot of good options. It's slightly more expensive on the weekends but $15 for unlimited good food is an amazing deal. I always get their butter chicken, chicken curry, biryani, chicken tandoori, chicken 65 if available, and naan. Also, their mango lassi is one of the best I've ever had, make sure to try! Highly recommend this place, especially if you're a student on a budget. read more

My hubby and I ordered take out for our date night in dinner. We ordered buttered chicken, chicken tiki Marsala, chicken pakora, and garlic naan. Entrees come with a side of white rice. I thought everything tasted really good but my husband thought it was mediocre. He is a bit bias because he has been to India where he was able to try authentic Indian cuisine. So take my review with a grain of salt . Most importantly is that the service was great and friendly. I would order from here again. read more

Our local place closed and another local place is closed on Sundays (seriously?) so we ended up here. What a surprise! They have a nice buffet, although a bit small. A buffet in Covid is rare. They have you use a napkin to use the serving utensils and we used our own sanitizer afterwards. The buffet food was awesome. Butter chicken is as good as anywhere and I could eat the sauce over rice all day. Tandoori chicken was also amazing. Ok, as was everything else. Delicious. Everything was great. Naan. Rice. 2 types of biryani. Spicy chickpeas and spinach (actually my fav of everything). And a couple curries. The "negatives" of the place are its waaay too dark in there. And it needs a total cleaning top to bottom. It's not unsanitary. But everything needs a wipe down and dusting. And the strip mall it's in may cause discomfort for some but really it's fine. If you want good Indian food in a casual setting, this place is great. Check it out. read more

I had lunch at Ahmed Indian Restaurant during a business trip. They happened to have a buffet so I chose that so I could try several items from their menu. There were plenty of choices. The food was perfect. Fresh, flavorful, wonderful. The restaurant staff were attentive and polite. The buffet was refreshed often. I highly recommend Ahmed Indian restaurant! I plan to take my clients here as well. read more
