For their lunch buffet, you are paying for the ambience. This beautiful restaurant has been designed really well and the interior decoration is spectacular. The food itself is also pretty good, however, if you are vegetarian, they have extremely limited options here. When we came, they had one mushroom dish and one cauliflower and potato dish for vegetarians. It would be nice if they could at least include one or two more dishes for vegetarians, including a paneer dish. If you eat meat, they have pretty good chicken dishes, as well as an interesting fish curry. Parking is not easy here, as they only have about 20 parking spots that are shared with a few other businesses. Most likely, you will have to park on the street somewhere else and walk here.
Compared to the best-known Indian restaurant in Asheville (Chai Pani), this one is more traditional and more upscale. It's also less crowded, though in my experience there were still people waiting for the weekend lunch buffet here on a nice day. Service was a bit chaotic, and I was escorted to a table, checked on once briefly, and then had to rope in someone to pay my check. The buffet selection was interesting. It was good from a vegetarian perspective, though a vegan would have been disappointed I think (and realistically, the vegan population in Asheville is bigger than in most places). The only lentils were dal makhani, which was a tasty classic. Poori bhaji, a steaming hot serving of spiced potatoes to be dipped in fried bread, is in no way healthy but was as delicious as one might hope. Other options ranged from cabbage pakoras, saag paneer, salad, bread, and desserts. A juice station was available, but there was no tea, and while some people ordered what looked like lassis, no one ever presented the option to me (not that I needed one). Overall, the quality of food was excellent, and the setting beautiful. They could have done a bit better on service and selection, but I would definitely like to come for dinner and order off the menu.
Holy smokes!!!! This is the BEST Indian food I've ever tasted in my entire life. I highly recommend the non-veg thali...it's a sampler of so much deliciousness...probably big enough for two people and super affordable as well. This is THE spot for a nice dinner, not too fancy and not too casual...just right!
Stumbled upon an indian cuisine restaurant and decided to give it. Food tasted fantastic! If you can handle spicy food, ask for hot! I loved the tofu dish and portion was just right. We went with chili naan which wasn't spicy at all and softness was just right. We did get mango lassi, incredible! Only negative was service. Wasn't as attentive and since we didn't make reservations, we got put on the high table near the bar. I guess if you want better seating, make the rsvp. We were just passing by. Price was on the higher side. I'd go again if i'm the area.
A great find in Ashville. Absolutely loved the decor and ambiance. The waiter asked spice level and I found it interesting that they had levels including Indian hot vs regular hot which is slightly milder. Loved the goat cheese Naan. The kadai paneer and navratna kurma was delicious. normally find Navratna kurma can be on sweeter side but this was perfectly spiced. I would give the main course 5/5 but dessert was a 3/5. I would definitely go there for the food and get dessert elsewhere.
Food, service, ambiance, and overall entire experience were excellent! I really loved it here. When you come to Asheville as a visitor, it would not be my first thought to come to an Indian restaurant. Well, think twice. Asheville has a wealth of food to experience, and you should never leave any stones unturned. Experiencing Andaaz was such a treat. It has such a vibe, too. It's trendy and sleek but still offers a family-friendly environment. I did not have expectations walking in. However, I left with high expectations after this visit. I think for someone who can't eat spicy food, they really took the time to listen. I ordered a couple of items (forgot to photograph), and it all came out perfectly. I absolutely recommend the cauliflower and lettuce wraps. Don't skip the Tikka dishes either. They literally have something for everyone. Parking is my only complaint, but you expect that parking at Biltmore Village. Just be prepared to look for it if you're not lucky enough to park in their restaurant parking lot.
I was skeptical about trying this place, which occupies the space previously graced with the amazing Rezaz. I assumed that disappointment awaited me. But on the recommendation of a friend I dropped in for the lunchtime buffet. My meal was next-level great, and while I experienced many things, none of them was disappointment. The decor was exotic, artsy, and welcoming. The service was friendly and efficient. And the food. Holy moly, the food. The basmati rice was mildly herbed and beautifully fragrant. The chana masala had an extra pop of flavor. You know how paneer has a fun texture but is usually a bit bland? Not here. In the mutter paneer dish, extra care was taken to infuse the cheese with its own delicious spice. Dhal is the simplest, humblest of foods - lentils in sauce - but wow, I was blown away by the dhal makhani. The depth of flavor was monumental. There is skill, and experience, and piquant earthiness, and unmistakable culture in this dish. But most of all, there is love. The kheer (Indian rice pudding) provided an exceptional finish. An employee told me it takes the chef 8 hours to make. One taste will convince you - it was well worth the time.
Long story short: one of the best Indian food experiences I've ever had (I'm Indian, so it counts more lol) Incredible food. A buffet at such a reasonable price doesn't even make sense. A waitress with a warm and kind aura. I'm on a road trip and thought about the meal for hours later. A local randomly recommended this place, and I'm so glad I went here instead of the other place I was headed. The decor/art is incredible too. These people know what they're doing. The best meal I had in Asheville, the most kind/attentive staff I had on my entire road trip, and food that was just as gorgeous as it is delicious. Can't even imagine a universe where someone would come here and regret it. I almost told the waitress I loved her on the way out. 11/10.
I made reservations for my brother's birthday and I had a great dining experience. It can be a little difficult to find parking. Inside is very elegant and the servers were professional. I enjoy the aesthetic of this restaurant down to the serving dishes. They serve a variety of naan bread, and they all taste delicious. I ordered the shrimp tandoori, which was amazing. I tried the lamb biryani and you can't go wrong with that. The chicken makhani had great flavor and not too heavy. All the curries were delicious too. Highly recommend!
We chose Andaaz for our Indian buffet while I was visiting Asheville. It was absolutely amazing, from the dining experience to the decor to the service. Everything was perfect. I wanted to go back the next day! We know they have been devastated by the hurricane, but they plan on being back open asap which makes me hopeful! I was saddened to hear they got hit hard. :( Please hit up their sister location, Laila, until they reopen! read more

What a lovely space .. looks like it was an old, fancy steakhouse but now has Indian decor to give it a great feel. The bar is large and very well stocked. Parking is, like all of Asheville, sparse. The service was mostly friendly. It took a while when we arrived before someone explained the process with the buffet vs. a menu. The buffet had a decent mixture of popular items. I would have enjoyed a little more variety as it was mainly chicken. However, everything was delicious. The sauces were very tasty. read more

This is our favorito Indian restaurant. We love the Gobi Manchurian and ragda. Our new favorite is the crispy spinach is amazing. We did have a problem on Friday all our food was cold and raw. Was very disappointed by it. read more

So far this is the best Indian restaurant website found in Asheville. Coming from the SF Bay Area where there's an Indian restaurant every block each specializing in specific regions, we'd been searching for something similar here. Well we found it at Andaaz! Multiple regional dishes, and haven't had a bad one yet. We've been multiple times and love going with friends read more

An exquisite dining experience. The ambience- interior design, decor is all around very pleasant. The food is delicious & beautifully presented. Every single dish we tried was amazing, very flavorful and perfectly balanced. The service is impeccable! Did last minute reservations and the owner was amazing to arrange for us. We were hosted by Virender and he introduced the chef also to us Easily one of the best Indian restaurants in the US located at a premium location near to Biltmore Estate!! I would definitely recommend everyone visiting Asheville. read more
Hands down the best Indian restaurant in Asheville, NC I'm not a big fan of Indian food if it's not cooked at home but this restaurant kicks ass!!!!!! The food and the ambiance here is sooo good.. it's unbelievable. They have good vegetarian options. Their malai kofta is really good. Dal makhani is also good. Shahi paneer is top notch Loved it!! read more

We went here over the weekend. We called in and made reservations and would highly recommend as well. We got there 30 minutes before our reservation time. We were seated 10 minutes of being there. Our Server Sam was fabulous. She recommended and gave pointers of some of their popular dishes. We ordered medium spicy food (3/5 ) and we found it to be very spicy for our taste pallet. We can only taste red chill powder and not any flavors. Paid about $86 for 2 people for veg Appetizer, 2 Curries, 1 Naan and 2 Rotis. Overall 3.65/5 read more
I had heard plenty about Andaaz when I walked in on Saturday afternoon. The place looks great from the entrance to the upkeep of their restrooms. It was just the 2 of us and we were seated immediately. They were quite busy and the server came quickly to explain us that they were only serve buffet for lunch. She also explained that there's several different flavored mimosas which were included in the price for the brunch buffet. I spent a good couple of minutes first just admiring the decor and the unique photos that were on display. Loved the mood created at this place. Food - The buffet has limited variety (about 2 vegetarian, 3 non vegetarian curries, appetizer, dessert, 2 types of naan and salad); however I am yet to taste a more flavorful spread at the buffet in an Indian restaurant. The samosas, mutter paneer were OH SO GOOD. Melt in mouth paneer in th mutter paneer made the dish equivalent to a made to order authentic dish. There was also Malai broccoli which was a very unique dish and had a nice smoky flavor. I did not have much space left for dessert but I couldn't resist trying their kheer and it was again, delicious in every bite. Service - The server lady however was asking all other tables for a choice of mimosas but never really got to our table for anything after we were initially seated. Also she handed us the cheque to us literally the moment we seated ourselves after getting the first round of buffet. Would have liked some attention from the server. One star off from the service. Nevertheless we got the drinks ourselves enjoyed the freshly squeezed cantaloupe and orange juice. They also have an option for mango, apple and pomegranate mimosas which are from canned juices. They have a small parking at the back which was very convenient. Overall, a strong place for date night or even just to take your family to a nice treat! read more

Quite good. Onion Pakora, Dal Tadka, Chicken Curry and Rice Pudding all unusually good. Free parking. Star lost for no paneer anywhere and no gulab jamun (buffet staples imo). But mostly because this is Asheville: next time, for Indian we'll stick with Mehfil! read more
Hit up the lunch buffet today at Andaaz for the fourth time and it did not disappoint. My favorite are these fried onion things. Parking is a little dicey, no lot but can usually find a spot in the alley behind the building. read more

The moment we walked in, I started to get a tear in my eye because the smells immediately took me back to India! Very clean, great service, incredible food. Authentic recipes/spices with an American level of heat options haha. Great date night spot but also spacious enough for bigger parties. Highly recommend the Thani if you're looking to get a little taste of all the main heavier sauced dishes. read more
I used to travel for work a lot and always made sure to find an Indian restaurant in each city I visited, whether it was Kansas City, Toronto, London, or Melbourne. Being locked down in Asheville I was starting to forget what Vindaloo tasted like. Went with a party of 4 and opted for a couple curry dishes, the staple Tandoori chicken, and selection of naan and roti. The lamb was excellent and to the point that one of our party who didn't like lamb was eating it on accident and didn't even know if wasn't beef. We did find that the naan was a bit undercooked and still doughy compared to what I'd seen from photos online. Definitely plan to go again as not only was the food excellent but they also have some great local beers (Like Bhramari's Fast Cars) on their menu which I love to see as most traditional Indian restaurants in this hemisphere seem to just have bottles of Kingfisher. read more

We came for Thanksgiving, it was perfect. The whole family loved their food and the service was excellent. We had a reservation at 7:45 and got there early but they accommodated us even though the place was packed. Highly recommend! read more

My wife and I came to Asheville for our Honey Moon, and it was the first time either of us had been here. We had a long day and just decided to pick a place close to our hotel. Neither one of us had ever had authentic Indian food, so we both jumped on the idea to try it. The food here was absolutely amazing. Our waitress offered great suggestions and helped us navigate through the menu. We got the Vegetable Samosas and Chicken Mur-Muri Rolls for appetizers. Both were fantastic. The ambiance made it really feel like you were not in a random restaurant in Asheville. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area, local or traveler. Best Indian food experience we could've asked for! read more
