Came here with a big group (12) for a team lunch based on recommendations from colleagues. Deccan Bawarchi is the best Indian buffet I've had in Michigan! Great veggie options, fantastic chicken and lamb dishes, a great dessert table. Orange drink and water on tap. Fresh naan. We asked for chicken and veggie biryani to be on the buffet ahead of time (since we were a table of 12) and they obliged. Everyone ranted and raved about the tandoori chicken, the biryani, and the lamb - and our veggie friends loved the onion and aloo tikka masala. If you aren't regularly accustomed to Indian food, I'd be careful. This buffet is perfect for me - but for people who aren't used to spice, it's a bit on the spicy side. I love that it isn't a buffet full of bland food, but some of our party who are scared of spice found that much of the food was a bit too spicy for them. Service was good, the people were very friendly. Easy to pay and lots of comfortable space in a very good ambience. read more

Deccan Bawarchi delivers bold, authentic Indian flavors with a menu that celebrates the richness of Hyderabadi and South Indian cuisine. We stopped in for a quick bite and were impressed by the depth of flavor and warmth of the service--this spot is a hidden gem for anyone craving true-to-roots Indian cooking. We ordered the Chicken Achari, and it was nothing short of a flavor bomb. Tender chicken pieces were simmered in a tangy, spicy pickle-style (achari) masala that was beautifully layered--bold with mustard seeds, fenugreek, garlic, and chilies, yet balanced enough to keep you going back for more. The spice level was just right, bringing heat without overwhelming the palate. To scoop it all up, we paired it with Garlic Butter Naan, which arrived fresh, warm, and pillowy with crisp edges and a rich, garlicky aroma. The butter added just the right touch of indulgence, making it the perfect partner to the punchy achari curry. Overall, Deccan Bawarchi hits all the right notes--authentic flavors, generous portions, and a focus on traditional recipes done right. It's the kind of place that makes you want to come back and explore more of the menu, especially the biryanis and tandoori specialties they're known for. read more

I went there because of the reviews, I got a whole different experience. 1 no service at all , I even asked and was pushed off 2 buffet was not updated , stirred or refilled ( naan was stale) 3 many items not labeled, I would usually ask But no one up front. 4 food was marginal tasting 5 did not see anyone until it was time to leave Now the big picture , the health inspectors were there and had them tied up , but not all of them, I am also not saying it was dirty it was not it was very clean from what I saw including the rest rooms. Just very horrible service , I would be careful Go some were else, I will not be returning read more

Food is great ! My husband said it was the best liver he has ever had ! We were in a rush and they were able to accommodate us quickly. They were very prompt and understanding - ensuring everything came as quickly as possible. Ambiance was very nice with plenty of seating. Great for large crowds and families. read more

Everytime you order food, there is little to NO meat. The owner is a rude and mannerless guy. He has no phone manners. Does not refund money. WASTE OF MONEY AND VERY BAD SERVICE read more

My wife, two kids, and I visited this restaurant over the weekend for their buffet, hoping to enjoy a pleasant family meal and support a local small business. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing due to poor customer service. When we arrived, there were only about 25-30 customers in the restaurant, and we were among the early guests. However, several buffet dishes were already empty and the staff appeared to be struggling to refill them. We are a family of four, but we were given a table set for only three people. Even though there was an available chair near the cash counter and few scattered here and there, but no one offered it to us. I waited standing for about 15-20 minutes hoping the host would bring a chair, but that never happened while the host was watching me stand all through. When I tried get an available chair, he said it was already taken. During this time, my wife and kids had just started eating while I was still waiting for a place to sit. Eventually the situation became uncomfortable for our family, and they suggested we leave rather than continue the meal with me standing there. Another incident that stood out was when I asked the host at the counter for a paper napkin. Instead of simply handing it to me which was right at the cash counter, the host walked to the cutlery area and made me follow him there to pick it up myself. Since my wife and kids had already started eating when we decided to leave, we ended up paying for three buffet plates but walked out without actually finishing our meal. Because of this, I cannot fairly comment on the quality of the food since we did not get the opportunity to properly eat. The restaurant industry is built on a customer-first mindset, and basic courtesy toward guests, especially families with children should be a given. Being located in the heart of Northville/ Livonia, MI, surrounded by many well-established restaurants that not only serve great food but also prioritize exceptional hospitality, customer service should be a top priority to remain competitive and earn the trust of the community. We chose this restaurant because we wanted to support a local establishment, but the lack of basic hospitality made the experience very disappointing. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves the way customers are treated so future guests have a better experience. I would have selected "Zero" stars if I could, but unfortunately that is not option with reviews! read more

This is one of the best halal chicken spots in America. You must try it when you're in the area. Abdul Majeed is one of the most professional and friendly staff members at this restaurant--be sure to ask for him when you visit! read more

Deccan Bawarchi - Chicken Tandoori with rice. - Indian Near Me - Livonia, Michigan

Tried a new place (to us, at least) off of DoorDash tonight. My fiance and I chose this place because they were offering $5 off (20% off your order, up to $5) and also they had Gobi 65, a fried cauliflower dish he likes. Disappointingly, they gave us chili paneer instead of the Gobi 65, although I actually ended up liking it a lot even though it was super spicy and I can't do spice. We ordered butter chicken, which was fine but I've had better; chicken korma, which was a bit spicy for me and neither of us liked; garlic naan, which was huge and nice and fluffy; and two mango lassi. The lassi was smaller than other places I've been to. Prices were on par with other places in the area, perhaps even a little cheaper. I'd order from here again but would probably pursue other places first. I'm not sure when this actually opened AKA why they're not on Yelp yet but they have a lot of Google reviews and the oldest I saw was 7 months old. My guess is that they probably have been open earlier than that though. read more

ABSOLUTELY AWFUL! DO NOT BELIEVE THE 4.5-STAR RATING! ​This has to be one of the worst experiences I've ever had. I ordered a mild Chicken 65 Biryani to-go and everything was a complete disaster. ​I went in to pick up my order and was completely ignored for a full 10 minutes. The staff was too busy on their phones to even bother asking why I was there. When someone finally got around to me, they had not prepared my order and said that they dont have my order. I showed them the receipt the they to make my food, but it's clear they just gave me someone else's, because when I got home, the "mild" biryani was so spicy it was totally inedible. ​So I called, and they told me to come back anytime for a new order. I went back the SAME NIGHT, hoping to just get the food I actually ordered, but the nightmare continued. Again, no one acknowledged me. The host, the guy in the kitchen, and another guy were all on their phones, completely ignoring customers and just being busy with themselves. It was unbelievable. To make things even worse, I watched them eating with their bare hands and licking their fingers right in the middle of the kitchen. I can only HOPE they washed their hands afterwards. Disgusting. ​After all that waiting and frustration, when I finally got my food. They gave me just the Chicken 65--NO BIRYANI. They didn't even have the decency to tell me they were out when I called them earlier. I've attached a picture to show what a complete joke this was. ​This place is a joke. The staff is unprofessional, the food is wrong, and the whole experience is just one disappointment after another. DO NOT TRUST THE REVIEWS. MOST OF THEM ARE NOT TRUE. This place is NOT WORTH your time or money read more

The food looked so great that I forgot to take a picture. The chicken tikka masala with medium spice absolutely delivered with all great notes. I will definitely be back for this! Not to mention the garlic naan was absolutely delicious to pair with the tikka masala. Service was great, directing us to a seat that was cooler in temperature on today's hot day. The environment and ambiance of this restaurant is very welcoming and good looking. Would definitely recommend you try this place out! read more

Let's begin by saying the food was very good and plentiful. Unfortunately, it was freezing in there and the food took forever but a large group received their food before us even though they came in later. Maybe they come often and have a standing order, who knows. The menu and window says they serve a few Chinese dishes but they don't. There were no towels in the ladies restroom. Sorry, even though the food was yummy, we won't be back. read more

We ordered Chicken 65 (mild), but it was extremely spicy--so much that I couldn't even finish a single bite. I eat hot peppers daily, and this was still overwhelmingly spicy. My husband went back to get it corrected, but instead of fixing the order, they gave us plain rice with just a small amount of Chicken 65. The service was very disappointing--wasted time, money, and effort. After nearly two hours of hassle over food we paid for, I didn't even feel like eating anymore. Truly a frustrating experience. read more

Food is awesome here, but twice now we've driven a significant distance to go to the lunch buffet which is advertised as open from 11:30 am to 1 pm only for it to be delayed, last time it opened at Noon today we left when they told us it would start at 12:30. read more

Based on their good reviews (??) and their closeness to our hotel, we came here. It was a disaster from beginning to end. They were short staffed and we should have left right away. But..we stuck it out...only beverage choice was a plastic bottle of water (no glasses), long wait to have our order taken--they didn't have my first 5 choices of vegetarian entrees from the menu and the "waiter" kept pushing "Chicken Tikka" which my husband ordered. I finally picked a vegetarian dish that they had. We also ordered Garlic Naan. After waiting maybe 45 minutes with no food in sight, my husband went up to the counter to ask for our naan to stop our growling stomachs... there was an order waiting with the Chicken dish and the naan, so he brought it back to the table. My dish was missing. "Waiter" came to table to ask what I'd ordered and I told him I didn't remember but I'd take whatever veggie dish they had that night. More time went by, we shared the chicken dish (on plastic plates), and my veggie dish was forever missing in action. When we asked for napkins, a box of Kleenex was plopped onto the table. We left hungry. The phones were ringing and ringing and seldom answered. As far as ambiance, the table next to us had a group with an infant who screamed at a high pitch pretty much the two hours we were there with parents paying little attention to him. Here's my tip: when you walk into a restaurant and it's pretty clear it's chaos -- leave! Restaurants get slammed when staff doesn't show up...The Chicken Tikka was okay--maybe a C plus or a B minus...small serving--especially when shared. read more

Foods were not good. Chicken 65 and Chicken Tikka tasted like Chinese sweet and sour chicken. There was a large AC unit in the restaurant and it was noisy, which made us feel like sitting in a warehouse or an industrial facility. Service wasn't good either. read more

I found this place by mistake thinking it was an Indian restaurant I had ordered from on DoorDash! What a lucky mistake! The food here is absolutely delicious and tops my favorite Indian restaurant in the area. We ordered Butter Chicken mild and the mixed Tandoori grill with chicken and shrimp. It was about medium spice. We split both our meals and they were so good we had no leftovers. They offered us free pineapple and mango juices with our bottled water which was a nice surprise. Apparently they have buffets from 12pm to 2pm weekdays and 12pm to 3pm on weekends. I definitely want to go back to try the different dishes. The restaurant itself is very new on the inside and there is only one waiter but hardly anyone dining in while we were there. Lots of carry out orders though! I highly recommend trying this restaurant out. What a great experience! read more

Second time being here and did not disappoint. Chicken Tikka was fantastic and juicy. Chicken Tikka Masala was delicious and the butter chicken was flavorful. Garlic Nann was best I've ever had. Highly recommend!! read more

The food is good.. but the ratings do not match this restaurant. They offered us free dessert and two free drinks in exchange for a five start review. I feel this has drastically skewed their review ratings. read more

By far the best Indian I have ever tried in Michigan. Goat Dum Biryani, Mandi and Marag are just exceptional. I literally go every week at least 2-3 times, to go spot for me. read more

Very dirty restaurant and you can find a plastic bottle cap in the salad!! And they explained to me that when they were preparing the salad, the bottle cap just fell into the salad! I do not recommend this restaurant. read more

So much good food! Flavorful, filling, and good service too! Highly recommend and will be coming back :)

THE FOOD WAS AMAZING. Definitely one of my top restaurants for Indian cuisine. They definitely know the assignment! I believe you can choose any curry, with any meat (chicken,lamb or goat) and then you choose the spice level, low/medium/hot. We started with the Veggie Samosas as a little app and I highly recommend. Garlic naan was amazing as well. I got a special Mutton Soup and that was delicious! For the main dishes we got the butter chicken curry and goat tikka masala, both medium spice, It was amazing.. I'm making this review the morning after and I wish I had leftovers!! The customer service was on point as well, respectful and swift. Food took a bit to come out but it's worth the wait because you know they were making everything fresh. Food came out scorching hot so be careful! read more

I was craving "ghar ki" biryani and this restaurant hit the spot. We had the Hyderabadi mutton dum biryani and the mutton was well cooked, well spiced, and tender. We also had butter naan and chili chicken which were also excellent. The food was fresh and came out quickly and despite living 30 min away, we are already planning our next visit. A quick shoutout to our server Qadeer, who provided warm, friendly, and prompt service. I appreciated him asking whether we wanted all of our food at once or staggered. read more

The food was okay it wasnt outright terrible, but for 50 dollars, it could've been much better. The curry sauce was subpar, and they put a small amount of chicken in the actual meal. The mango lassi was warm when i got it. The bread was really good, though. read more

I went here before but they must have changed ownership. Food wasn't that good and the staff was a joke . Waiters running around in slippers and headbands. I got sick after eating here needless to say I won't be back. read more

Excellent! The food and service were lovely - Ali was particularly awesome. It was a great option to come with friends!

Food was absolutely delicious. Chicken tandoori meat was falling right off of the bone, and tikka masala sauce was scrumptious, and the service was prompt. Ended up being one of our favorite Indian meals in a long time! read more

Super super good food. First time coming drove over 1 hour and half for some good food. I will be back

I saw the new restaurant at the 6 and Haggerty strip mall, and the smell coming from it drew me in. I'm a big curry lover and the food was to die for, i got a medium spice curry and it was amazing. The server was very kind, and the cook was very friendly as well. I would gladly go back there. read more
