Not completely sure, because the total sometimes seems to include a bread charge. You can also order off a regular menu. All the buffet food has usually been pretty good if not great. Plenty of veggie and meat options on there. The restaurant is adjacent to a Pakistani/Indian market with lots of products from that region of the world. The seating is all booths under a television usually blasting Bollywood videos that are hilarious. My wife and I love this place and don't ruin it by going every few months. It always satisfies.

I was happy to receive two takeout dinners from the Sunday night special of this restaurant…read moretonight. The combination of the Butter Chicken and the Tika Marsala, with extra Basmati rice and Nan bread, was a welcome sight with stunning visual textures of soft tomato soup with cheese bearing resemblance to red acrylic paint. As I spread the savory mix on the Nan, I was loving the flowing aromas of Indian style spices emanating from the large bowl I was using. The taste that followed was a burst of flavors I had not experienced in a few years, when I was practicing Indian-style recipes I found in the culinary magazine "Saveur". The chicken in both dishes had a firmer texture with a delightful chew where I could almost taste the muscle fibers individually or together. It was well-cooked in the flowing red sauce it came with, but nobody could describe it as "falling off the bone" (what some people may mistakenly describe good BBQ chicken as). The heat came on strongly in these paired dishes, so I would suggest that anyone indulging in this kind of cuisine drink cold Ginger Ale with it. Half my family is from Mexico, so me encanta la comida picante, but the other side is from New York, so the cold and sweet ginger element would help put out that fire. I read that this restaurant has a buffet, so I am planning to visit with my family and put a dent in their delicious spread.

Upon entry, the service felt a bit slow. This was our first time visiting, so we weren't sure if we…read moreshould seat ourselves or wait to be helped. We were noticed multiple times but not acknowledged, and no one told us something simple like "feel free to sit anywhere," so we ended up standing there for over five minutes before finally being seated. Once we sat down, things improved. In my opinion, the food could have been hotter it was more warm than hot. That said, the flavors were really good. And the star of the show: their naan bread WOW. Seriously, I could just eat that and be completely happy. It's made in-house, and you can definitely tell. Absolutely delicious. Prices are very affordable, which is a big plus. Despite the slow start, I would come back again.

What we didn't expect was the very high pricetag that came with our meal! Very small dining room with old school diner tables and booths. We were greeted upon entering, but from the kitchen as it's literally a mom and pop establishment. No front of the house staff. After a few minutes, the owner and cook came for our order. We got 2 delectable samosas as apps. Very crispy and savory. I ordered the chicken vindaloo and my girl the chicken curry. We asked for spicy+. The dishes didn't disappoint! Super flavorful and even though it didn't burn our mouths, we were definitely sweating and had clear sinuses! The garlic nan was very good, but could have used just a tad bit of salt to bring out the flavors. We also got the chicken nuggets and fries for a kids meal and even though the owner forgot about it, he quickly put that in and added extra nuggets. Again, food was great, but the prices don't really leave a desire to come back... Especially with a full buffet at University Market 5 minutes away! Our meal came out to $50!! I did the math and he definitely over charged about $5 at least, and I should have clarified that, but I just tipped 10% instead. Even if he hadn't done incorrect math, $45 for 2 medium sized entrees, 2 nan breads, 1 (complimentary?) rice, 1 kids meal, with 2 waters and a juice is way too much. I'd only go here again if the Indian craving hits super hard on a Sunday when University Market is closed.
