Front of house staff very polite. Food service persons very polite. Waitress polite but hovered a lot (felt like another person at the table she was so omnipresent) and felt rushed. Had to ask her several times to give our table more time. Food: if you've had truly good Indian, this is not it. Flavors were simple, not complex and far below what Chai Pani delivers with 3x the price. Dishes - mushroom korma tasted like a regular mushroom soup you could get anywhere. Other dishes tasted on par with all other Indian restaurants in the city. If the prices were reasonable I would dine here again but it's so much costlier than other comparable options I don't see why I would return. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Andaaz. The Crispy Spinach Chaat appetizer was out of this world! The Chicken Korma was also delish. All in all it was a great evening. read more

As a Bay Area resident, I've become spoiled with incredible Indian cuisine. Was so delighted to find a restaurant that rivals San Francisco quality in Asheville! Every single thing we ate was superb. I had the Shrimp Tikka Masala, and my companions had the lamb shank and the chicken Tikka. We all were so impressed with the quality and complex flavors. I am really picky about raita, and this was some of the best I've tried. For dessert we had the chai ice cream-- light and flavorful! Do not miss this place if you love good Indian food! read more

This was the best Chicken Tikka Masala that I have had, as was the garlic naan. Service was fast and friendly. I will definitely visit here again on my next visit to Asheville! read more

If you've seen my previous reviews, you know I don't give out 5 stars just because. Andaaz truly deserved it when we were looking for Indian restaurant on a Christmas Eve evening. I had read and seen the photos and was impressed but forgot to reserve and when we walked in, the place was packed. Thankfully, the owner was kind enough to accommodate us as long as we would finish our meal in 1.25 hrs. We didn't mind and were seated right away. I ordered chai tea for myself, and two mango lassi for wife and kid. They arrived promptly and gave us time to be mesmerized by the art and decor of the restaurant. It's not often you walk into an indian restaurant here in the States and feel like you have been brought back to India and the service you get when you are there (not to mention, the decor). We ordered chicken mur-muri (spring rolls) to start with and malai kofta and garlic naan for the entree. Everything came out perfect and the food was delicious. The owner stopped by several times to confirm if everything was good as well. This was rather surprising and felt homely. Overall, if you're in town, you have to visit Andaaz but make sure to make reservations! read more

This food was INCREDIBLE! I can't wait to go back! They had so many options for the buffet that I was too full to try everything! I wish I would have gone in with an emptier stomach! The butter chicken might have been my favorite on top of rice with a side on naan! We never had an empty glass of water and the waiters were so friendly! I can't wait to return here for another round of the buffet! read more

This place has a 5-star rating for a reason! I stopped by Andaaz after seeing their lunch buffet advertised. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted and escorted to a table. The decor and vibe inside are absolutely impeccable. Once seated, my server promptly came over and explained the buffet. The buffet had so many tasty looking options. After piling up my first plate, I sat down to dig in. The food was delicious!! Everything was fresh and flavorful. By far, the best Indian food I've had. I will definitely be back. read more

Without a doubt, the best Indian food I've ever had. We were accompanied by a friend who has lived in India and is very knowledgeable in Indian cuisine, and he was very impressed! I'd recommend you select several dishes and share them family style. We ordered the Chicken Badami Korma-- this was spectacular! The Shrimp Tikka Masala and the Chicken Tikka Masala--- holy cannoli! The sauce was incredible! One of the best we've ever tried--truly! Their Garlic naan and rosemary naan were warm and fresh- so delicious! Their jasmine rice that accompanies each dish is perfection. Make sure you dip your naan in the tikka masala sauce Our friend ordered a goat dish but it was not on the menu and he said it was on point! As far as the spice level (which is sometimes intimidating in Indian restaurants), you are able to order every dish in either mild, medium or hot. The medium was not too hot, and their mild was perfect. The ambience is beautiful, great decor, clean and elegant. Our waitress was very knowledgeable on the menu and gave great recommendations. She was sweet and very professional. I'm back in miami and craving Andaaz so badly read more

Beware, this up scale Indian restaurant could be addicting. The menu is extensive and we had difficulty making a choice as everything looks and smells delicious. We started with the appetizer chicken seekh kebab which is seasoned minced chicken cooked in tandoor. Loved the smoky flavor and gradual heat. Delicious. Next we shared the tandoori vegetable platter, the chicken, lamb and shrimp biryani and the goat curry. All outstanding with layers of magical Indian spices. My favorite bite was the yogurt marinated paneer from the tandoori vegetable platter. This was unlike any paneer I've tasted. We also enjoyed the specialty cocktails. I recommend the Mumbai Mule. Service was excellent and the restaurant itself is beautiful with spacious seating. read more

I went back to Andaaz and sadly the food is quite different than when it opened. The service was still great, but the flavors were muddier and not as vibrant. I ordered the exact same dishes as previous - Lamb Korma and Saag Paneer. Both were just OK. Definitely not worth the price point. Sad that something has changed in the kitchen. read more

I really miss this place! It was the best Indian food in Asheville. Loved the buffet especially on the weekends and ther servers there were just the best! The atmosphere was great and we cant wait until they reopen! We love you Andazz! Stay Strong! read more

Easily one of my top three Indian restaurants (including Michelin-rated ROOH in the Bay Area)! We stayed in Asheville for three nights (not enough as it's a great city), and saw Andaaz from our hotel, checked out the reviews, and decided to try it. WOW, everything we had was amazing! My husband orders his dishes "medicinally hot" (yes he's a freak that way), and he loved his food! We both tried the Channa Saag, and it was delicious! I had something mainstream for my main course, Chicken Tikka Masala, and it was the best I've ever had. We don't normally take leftovers home with us. This time, we did. Is it bad to admit that I had leftover Indian food for breakfast the next morning in our hotel room before we left for the airport?!? Definitely go to Andaaz soon! If you enjoy Indian cuisine, you will love this place! read more

Andaaz - Ambience - Buffets Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

We love Andaaz!!! We moved to Asheville last fall and have been searching for an Indian restaurant as good as our favorite in south Florida. Choosing a single entree is difficult so we prefer the buffet and Andaaz serves up lots of options with nice presentation and quality. Our server Varinder could not have been more pleasant and accommodating. We went with two friends and all said we'll return. read more

Had another great meal at Andaaz the other night with 4 friends. The ambiance is much more eclectic and warm than most traditional Indian restaurants in the area. We had a reservation but some of our party was late. The host was so nice and said it shouldn't be a problem. He put us in a cozy couch situation near the bar and took our drink orders while we waited for them. Once seated, the waiter brought over our drinks from the bar. We had a few standards that we always get: the Naan Basket (3 kinds of naan, brought out warm and flavorful), Goat Cheese Naan - because Goat Cheese! and the Gobi Manchurian (crispy cauliflower coated in a tangy garlic ginger sauce). For entrees: Chicken Saagwala (spicy chicken with creamy fresh spinach curry, yum!), Lamb Korma (tender chunks of lamb in a delectable sauce with ground cashews, yogurt and Indian spices, also yum!), and Goan Shrimp Curry (huge perfectly cooked shrimp with coriander, coconut milk, peppers and spices, a third yum!) Everything we have eaten here in the five or so times we have been is spot on, from the perfect preparation on an authentic way (but sometimes with a twist on authentic) and the spice levels are accurate. If you go for a 5 you're going to get Indian HOT, not American hot! So if you're not sure step down a notch in your level number. You can always ask for some dried chili if you need to bump it up! We haven't gone wrong yet here, we are going to try to do the carry out one night and see if the food is as good as when we eat in! read more

Andaaz - Buffets Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

the service was great! My food not so much. Started with the vegetable samosa which had good flavor but it had a hair in it. Then my entree came out way too quickly and it was barely hot. The lamb shank wasn't braised enough and was tough also not so much Indian flavors more sour tomato. Couldn't bring myself to make a stink of it since i also work in the service industry, but i had high hopes for this place. It seems like the flavors were watered down to cater to the clientele that the biltmore village inevitably brings read more

Went for weekday buffet. It was good but not much variety. Would have enjoyed a samosa app, the only other app type dish was eggplant pakora which wasn't that crispy. Tiki Masala was delicious as was the Naan. Indian dessert was too heavy on the cardamom. Nice ambience, kind of fancy. Next time I'll try a different Indian restaurant read more

Best Indian restaurant I have been to The owner was always checking with all the patrons to make sure their food was satisfactory Highly recommend this place read more

So great. First time I've been here. I didn't know anything about the items on the menu but our waiter made it easy. I had salmon badam korma with Rosemary Naan and rice, and Pinot Grigio. Service, ambiance, food. All great. read more

Wonderful Indian Cuisine in Asheville. We stopped here unexpectedly and we're fortunate to get a table without a reservation. We sat at one of their high top tables near the bar and enjoyed a wonderful meal. The Gobi appetizer was amazing as was the chicken briyani. The Mumbai Mule was one of the top mules we've had anywhere! The vibe is modern Indian and we LOVED it! Our waiter Alex was great. read more

Four of us dined there last night. "Mo" was our server and he was super! We had the crab cakes for an appetizer and they were delish. Guided by Mo, we each had a different main course, and they were all really good. I had lamb and it was over the top good! The room is decorated beautifully. Highly recommend! read more

I had the lunch buffet, and it was really good. The naan was a little "tired" but other than that everything was great.

This was my first visit to Andaaz and I was impressed. I went on a Friday for lunch buffet. There was plenty of free parking on the south side of the building at 11:15am . Now thats a big plus around here!!! Others were waiting for opening also. At exactly 11:30am staff opens the door and we were rapidly seated. The cost weekdays 14.99 sat and Sun 19.99 but that includes an extra buffet selection or maybe 2 and mimosas. I thought the quality was very good! The atmosphere and furnishings quite nice. A nice looking bar area also. My favorite dish the chicken tikka masala. It was a beautiful color. Considering how so many restaurants have slid in service, quality, yet upped the price, thus is a real find!!! I urge you to go soon and support them! I expect you will like it. The lunch buffet is a bargain! One can order from the menu for lunch too but any dish is more, or much more than the buffet so why would you? If I lived closer Id be going to that buffet A LOT!!! read more

My Partner and I were in from out of town, 100% not expecting to find this level of Authenticity in this area. Taste, Environment, Price and Service were 1000 times better than we were anticipating. To anyone in the area who's still undecided if you'll go. We drove an 1h 30m to try it and was well worth. read more

Two of my coworkers and I were in Asheville for a conference and found this excellent, upscale Indian restaurant on a recent Monday night. Our server, Alex, was so helpful in advising our choices, as some of us were unfamiliar with Indian dishes and ingredients. We loved all the great food, the calm ambiance and the friendly and kind service. Vegetarian thali was amazing, giving lots of tasty options to try. read more

We were in Asheville for our anniversary and looked up the best Indian restaurants to try. This restaurant had the best reviews and a buffet so had to check it out. First of all, the service was amazing. Our waitress was very personable and attentive. The buffet consisted of salads,rice, Naan, vegetable pakora, Dal, chicken Tikka, tandoori chicken, and a paneer korma. The buffet comes with a free mimosa which I enjoyed. You get a choice or watermelon or original. I went with watermelon, and it was very tasty. My husband loves Chicken Korma so we also ordered this as well. We live in Charlotte Nc and have had better Korma but everything was pretty good. Cute place. The condiment bar was probably my favorite item they had. Soo good. read more

I must first say that I have never ordered off the menu here, but the buffet is quite good for Americanized Indian food. They are efficient, and tables are usually available. Recommended. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Asheville! I go at least twice per week to the lunch buffet. The restaurant is immaculate and beautiful. The service, especially Mo is excellent and the food is fresh, not too spicy and changes daily. I'm a vegetarian so I really appreciate all the vegetarian dishes. The price is super reasonable! Enjoy! read more

Been meaning to try this place. So glad we did. We decided to sit at the bar, and the bar staff was incredible. The two bartenders on Thursday night should both be complimented for their excellent customer service. Drinks were great and recommendations for dinner were accurate and very knowledgeable. We loved all of our food. The ambiance of the restaurant is really nice. The bar is spectacular, and the food is very flavorful with very generous sized portions. We will definitely be back. This is now my favorite Indian restaurant in Asheville, hands down. read more

i wanna be fair. i do give credit to the food. But the services are horrible, like the worst services i have ever had for this price range. 1. waiter threw away the food we asked to take home. 2. bartender is racist. ignored us on purpose. We waited for 30 minutes at the bar and didn't get to order anything. NOTHING He asked us what we wanted to order when we first sat down without giving us a menu. What the fuck is wrong with him? Then never came back to ask us again. we ended up leaving this restaurant feeling starving because i do not wanna stand this service. The manager saw us leaving. didn't care, didn't ask. people who work there are either stupid or rude. I don't know which. but I don't wanna go back there again. No business is perfect. but as a restaurant, you should be able to remedy. I ran into situations of negligent services before, but the manager or owner always came to fix it in time. If you constantly hire bad employees, maybe you should look into your recruiting process. read more

Yum. Great classic Indian food, wonderful staff awesome ambiance. Can't wait to go back.

I was really excited to have dinner here but sadly we weren't thrilled with the food. The starters came out right away which means there was a big pot of the gobi Manchurian already done. It was only warm in temp and tasted like it was made with tomato soup, no spices. Papadums were good but only were served 2. I ordered Chicken Tandoori and rather than come in a bowl like it's served elsewhere to was 2 pieces of chicken leg, dry and not much taste. That even was the large size, I guess the small would have been 1 piece. Looking at the online menu it didn't say it was chicken with bones etc. I wouldn't have ordered it if it did say that. It's never been served that way at other restaurants so how would I know? No gravy, no rice either. Hubby ordered chicken tikka. It came with rice and was ok but again it tasted like it was cooked with tomato soup. Hardly any spice to it. Luckily there was enough rice for me to take some of his as I wasn't served any. Garlic Naan was very good but could/should have come in some kind of dish with a cover to keep it warm, it didn't, so we ended up eating 1/2 of it cold. I'm hoping it was a one-off night because we really were disappointed. Traveling through N.C. so we can't give it a second try, but with almost all of it not authentic tasting I don't think we would go back anyway. An update, on Open Table they responded that we should have asked for a spice preference of mild, medium or hot, our waiter never asked so we didn't know we could specify it. Also they wanted to know why we didn't say anything to them about our food, too many stories of food being messed with when it goes back to the kitchen PLUS some of the staff were outside in the back where we parked, they knew what we were driving...... I stand by my review and as I said above, I hope it was an off night and not something that always happens. read more

Had dinner here on Christmas Day. Great environment; bar nicely lit and stocked, and had comfy chairs and a couch. Food was outstanding for a buffet, and the place was busy. We brought in our own wine, $15 corking fee. We lingered and ate slowly; the samosas were to die for, as was the salad. We relaxed in the bar afterward finishing our wine and met the owner. Great guy, talked with us about the place, then brought over complementary cogñacs for us! See my review for the Casablanca Cigar Bar right around the corner - we went right after, and this was the best Christmas Day and dinner I've had since I was 9! Sorry Santa! read more

This place is a gem. The service was outstanding. The food was made fresh and to order. From the time we arrived until the moment we left, attention was given to every request. I had a special meal request that was not on the menu. Not a problem, and my lamb saag was incredible. We each enjoyed the mango lassi and took advantage of the delicious okra and cauliflower. read more

So glad we came here. When I did eat meat, one of my favorite things in the whole world was chicken tikka masala. I asked our very friendly server, Vi, his recommendation and he suggested the Shrimp Badam Korma. It did not disappoint. So far, one of my favorite dishes in Asheville. Husband had the Lamb Vindaloo. I could tell he was enjoying it due to the noises he was making. Overall, everything was super tasting. Servers Vi and Jimmy were great. Highly recommend read more

On 2/24 we had a big party for my 27th. I wanted to expand my taste and I did exactly that. The lamb was absolutely delicious ( my fiancé order it). Everyone at the table left overly happy! I'm a bit sad I couldn't experience the lunch buffet BUT it just means we will be back with empty stomachs and all you can eat. Pricing is worth it- it's supposed to be high quality and that's what it is. Restaurant was very cute on the inside. I will say as a parent of a picky eater there wasn't much wiggle room BUT they CAN accommodate ( it may not be the accommodations that is safe // ex: my toddler, even though he did try it twice, it wasn't something was into.) OVER ALL, this is a great place to eat. Everything came out beautifully and seasoned to perfection. I genuinely cannot wait to go back. to the managers and staff of BOH and FOH- thank you for having my huge family. Ohhhh, don't forget the doughnut balls in the ROSE WATER- whos grandmother do I have to kiss for the recipe?!? read more

Egads this place is good. More alternatives in Asheville when you can't get into Curate. Really a cut above your average Indian restaurant. Many types of naan and other dishes I've never seen on a menu. We came for dinner and loved it so made a note to come back for the daytime buffet, so we could try more dishes. The decor equals the quality of the food as well. Put this restaurant at the top of your list. read more
