I really enjoyed the buffet. Lots of variety and the food was fresh. The staff were very pleasant. I've also ordered of the menu and got lamb dish. There was really few prices of meat, I was a bit disappointed because the flavor was great. read more

Delicious authentic Indian cuisine. The buffet is great. The people are great! Price for buffet is reasonable

We have driven by this place a dozen times and finally decided to try it while out running around for the day. We were pleasantly surprised to find they had a lunch buffet and it was well worth it. The buffet has a large variety of dishes and sauces. Everything was delicious and the staff was friendly. We will definitely return read more

yet another update - the food is awesome, and I go here multiple times per month. I am so grateful to have Indian food in small town Indiana. Service is nice, place has a cool vibe, it's always clean. Prices are fair for the excellent quality of food. read more

Food was very good I will be returning for a delightful feast. However, I wasn't too pleased with the price of the naan. With how quick it went down the hatch, I have trouble justifying the price point but it's fine because the naan is good. Service was also good, very friendly staff. Ambiance was great read more

Gulzar's Indian Cuisine - Masala - Indian Near Me - Richmond, Indiana

Very cute decor inside. Nice wait staff. Food was good for seemingly the only Indian spot in Richmond, IN. Ask for level 10 spicy if you want it to be a good spicy. Mango lassi was good as well. Very refreshing. Pleasantly surprised. They have a lunch buffet on weekends also but we opted to order. read more

We have been enjoying the weekend buffet at Gulzar's in richmond for several years. Today (October 12th) my wife and I took the 45 minute drive to have a meal and it was shockingly bad. The Pakoras were old and dry. The curried were very much like leftovers which had been warmed up often and with little meat. Even the condiments were old and stale. I am not sure what has happened to the quality of the food. We will not be coming again. We heard the same complaints from two other tables around us. So sad to see a good restaurant becoming so bad. Perhaps the addition of the new Dayton restaurant has drained the resources! Bob Peffers, Oxford, Ohio read more

Food was not that tasty. Meats were very dry. Food was lukewarm. It didn't look that appealing.

Best resto in Richmond- bar none. Been a devoted Gulzar's diner since the day they opened their doors. Freshest ingredients, flavorful food, invested owners, fresh and made to order every time. The only downside is my stomach isn't big enough! The upside is delicious leftovers to take home! Service is swift and always with a smile. If you're adventurous (and even if you're not- they will gladly help you choose a delicious entrée) this is the place! read more

Yummy in my tummy! I love spicy food and buffets! Gulzars is a great place to eat, but I do wish the buffet was bigger and provided more entree type options. The chicken Tikka Masala is great and chicken curry-but it would be nice to have more variety and options on the buffet. Also would love to see a couple desserts thrown in there to try. Plus different types in Naan ect instead of just one. I love that kids eat free, but a couple more kid options on the buffet wood be great! I also love the spicy pickles!!!! The hot pickles are spicy and are very different than any pickle I've ever ate! They also have limited hours and the buffet is only open for lunch.. it would be great if it were open for dinner hours too! The service is always fast and friendly. It's a small quaint place and the cultural music adds to the ambiance, and is kept an appropriate volume to were you can still easily talk and hear one another. I'll be back, but really wish the buffet was bigger and had more of a wow factor, but still very enjoyable experience! read more

Quick service, clean dining room, and delicious buffet. We are glad that this place is here and will be back!

So 10 days on the road and one cuisine we have not had was Indian. Given this area had mainly chain restaurants this seemed like an oasis so we popped in. The place was almost empty on a Wednesday night. The staff was very friendly though at times inattentive considering there were never more than six customers in the restaurant at their busiest. The price for a regular beer (not Indian) was very cheap at $3.50 even for a Stella. We ordered the chicken Shashi Korma and the chicken gobi (with cauliflower). Both had good flavors and the hottest level we requested. The nan and raita were solid. The prices were typical and the decor very nice. Recommended! read more

Gulzar's Indian Cuisine - Menu (partial) - Indian Near Me - Richmond, Indiana

Went recently after not having been there in a while. Can report that the food is still excellent. This time we particularly enjoyed the chicken Tikka saag and the shrimp curry. There was a special flavor to the curry that we really liked but were not sure what it was. One possibility was the number of Curry leaves that were added. read more

Namaste! Gulzar's is one of my local favorites. We had a great experience here today which is usually the case - realized I'd never yet reviewed it. When I think of Gulzar's the first thing that comes to mind is the heady aroma of rich exotic spices that hits you and sets your mouth to watering as soon as you walk in the door. The dining room is comfortable, with booths, muted wall tones and strategically placed Indian artwork. There's a second dining room for overflow or large groups, as well as a patio dining option. All the classic Indian preparations are here - korma, curries, tikka masala, vindaloo, and more, with lamb, goat, chicken, seafood, or vegetarian. Biryani dishes, tandoori chicken, melt-in-your-mouth naan fresh out of the oven. The chutneys and raita are perfect too. The food quality is top notch, and priced accordingly - and so worth it. You can get Kingfisher and at least one other Indian beer here too and they are amazingly tasty and refreshing! The spice level option is 1 to 10. In my opinion they use a heavy hand on the spice, so if you're not sure start with a lower number and they will bring you some spice on the side, if requested, if you decide you want to kick it up a bit. I like spicy food but the level 5 killed me once. I usually stick with 3 or 4 depending on the dish. The waiters are very helpful and will answer all your questions, and they'll make what you want even if not specifically listed on the menu. We did the weekend buffet once, which is a good opportunity to try different things you may not have had before. It's great for buffet fans but you're unlikely to find goat vindaloo on offer, so we're sticking with the table service and getting exactly what we want. They also offer a meal for two option vegetarian and non-veg) that includes soup and dessert (Aloo Gobi) which is a great deal and huge amount of food - always enough for a second meal at home. The staff are all an extended Indian family and are very kind and welcoming. We have had a couple of service issues in the past, likely due to not enough workers on hand - but nothing to lose a star over. Today all was perfect. Highly recommended! read more

Lamb Rogan Josh for the win. Was not expecting to be dazzled by curry in Richmond, Indiana. It was a quick stop on my roadtrip home and after having snacks for lunch and dinner the night before, I needed real food and I was pleasantly surprised. The gentlemen at the front were super friendly and offered me drinks while I waited for carry out. I would intentionally stop over here again just for this restaurant. read more

This is hands-down my family's favorite place! The food is consistently delicious. We eat here at least every other week. AJ and crew are amazing. Whether you order off the menu or do the lunch buffet you will not be disappointed. And unlike other places, the take out is just as delicious as eating in the restaurant....but I recommend eating in the restaurant so you can get the curry tacos or pizza. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed. Recommend the outdoor seating for nice weather. read more

Probably my wife's favorite restaurant. Go here atleast once every few weeks. I'd be here everyday if the buffet wasn't lunch only.

Another great find in my hometown! Have been meaning to try Gulzars for ages, ordered via Doordash for dinner delivery last night. Between three of us, we shared the chicken tikka masala (spice level 5), chicken coconut curry (spice level 2), Kashmiri naan, paneer pakora and raita, and had enough left over for one more good serving. The curry and the tikka masala -- delicious, although I wish the curry had been one notch spicier and the tikka one notch less spicy. Level 5 definitely brought some heat. I like it a little spicy, but can't imagine going above that and still being able to actually enjoy the food! The naan and the pakora were also good, but we didn't care for the raita, it was way too liquid with pieces of onion floating in it. Was expecting a thicker, creamier consistency. All in all, though, great Indian food on par with what you'd expect to find in a much bigger city. Would definitely order again. (I believe lunch is buffet service only if you want to go and sample a bunch of different things at once.) read more

An oasis of good food along the wasteland that is US40/National Road in Richmond, Indiana. We stop by when we travel through town and have enjoyed several flavorful dishes. Note that the Baingan Bharta (eggplant) has a very smoky taste. Friendly servers/owners. Also note that outside seating is available. A plus this visit, the can of Fathead Head Hunter West-coast style IPA was a treat. read more

When you walk into this place you're greeted with the most wonderful and fragrant smells of amazing Indian cooking! And then you're welcomed with genuine and beautiful smiles from the family that works at the restaurant. And you notice how inviting and clean the restaurant is - so happy to be back here again! This is my second visit to this restaurant, it's on the top of my list of places to visit when I'm in the area. We were promptly seated and given nice big glasses of ice water which was very welcomed. It's obvious that everyone at this family restaurant really cares about you as a customer and wants you to really enjoy your food and dining experience. I started off with the chicken soup - delicious subtle flavors, followed by chicken wings. I had no idea about what to expect about the wings in an Indian restaurant, but they were wonderful - cooked in a tandoor oven, tender, moist, and with a unique and delicious coating. For the main course I had chicken tikka masala with a side of Kashmiri naan - my favorite type of naan! The restaurant really tries hard to accommodate the level of heat that you want on each dish. As with my previous visit, all of the dishes were great! If you're in the area and you want some wonderful Indian food you definitely need to stop and visit Gulzar's! read more

Quick service, nice atmosphere, great food. My husband and I have tried many Indian restaurants and this has been by far our favorite place. Great portions & great spice level. Even the water was good. read more

Fantastic service, great food, and consistently outstanding across the board. It is a staple in our restaurant rounds.

My wife and I have eaten at a variety of Indian restaurants throughout the United States. Indians tell me that the vast majority of these are Punjabi dishes. This place is no different. It's Punjabi, with some of the traditional dishes we're used to, but with many we've never experienced. And it was SUPERB. That's saying a lot. Indian cuisine is often rated as the most delicious food on the planet, an assessment I agree with, but this place takes it to a new level. Today's lunch buffet placed a very close second to the best Indian meal we'd ever had, which was a catered meal of Gujarati cuisine served at a high school graduation party for one of our former martial arts students. Both meals were skillfully liberal with spices, blending them masterfully into dishes that set our eyes rolling. Have you ever had such an experience? You take a bite and your spouse or companion registers your reaction? A moment of stunned immobility before an uncontrolled moan of pleasure...if not an expletive of appreciation...issues forth. "Oh. My. God." We're on our way to a wedding in Columbus, Ohio. We may hit this place on the way back, and we'll tell all the Hoosier attendees to consider it on their way home. If you're on that section of I-70, don't miss this one. read more

One of the best Indian restaurants I have ever visited (other equally excellent ones in London, UK, Redondo Beach and St George, UT). How fortunate are Richmond residents to have such a first-class restaurant in their city. So wish every State had a Gulzar's .......especially Md) We had chicken tikka masala and regular Naan............................#3 spicy an absolutly perfect spice level for us. Sauce was so creamy and flavor perfect............and very tender shredded chicken:):) Naan...soft....hot (and we did take-out!) Staff incredibly sweet! What a great experience. 1000% recommend.................wish I had had the time to dine in. Next time....definitly:) read more

What an excellent dinner we had! Everyone was very kind and our food was delicious! We got the Chicken Tikki Tacos for an appetizer and I will definitely get them again! read more

My favorite place to eat ! Gulzars has super friendly staff that are very helpful to those that have never had Indian food before . Now I like my food spicier than a lot of people and the great thing about gulzars is that I can get it spicier than I can take AND it still tastes amazing ! FYI the spicy scale goes up to 10 but that's just a base line , I have ordered as high as a 25 (that will light you up !) If your a spicy lover try the bullet naan ! The owner talked me into trying that because of how spicy I order my food . The restaurant is very clean and very well maintained if I could give it more than 5 stars I would ! read more

We loved every bite of the vegetarian feast. It was 2 samosas, rice, naan, and 4 entrees with malai kofta, paneer, daal, and potatoes as the star of each respective dish. We even got 2 gulab jamun for dessert to share. There were enough leftovers for two carryout containers so we certainly got our fill. My only complaint was the food was not nearly as spicy as was promised. I asked for a compromise for myself who likes wickedly hot food and my mother who likes medium, and neither of us found the result remotely spicy. I ended up asking for extra chili powder three different times and it still wasn't very hot. I know I'm white but when I ask for hot, I want it to be HOT!! I hope this place continues to do well as it is an impressive showing in Richmond. Tl;dr: the vegetarian feast for 2 was fire in every way except for the spice level. read more

Popular with locals. Affordable food and nice atmosphere. The food does not look very appetizing to me, though the taste is usually good. Be aware it may not be the best for people with certain food sensitivities. read more

Hubby and I stopped by Gulzar's for a small bite to eat after attending a downtown festival. Our service was good, but food was pretty slow in getting out to us, even though we were the only ones in the restaurant. We ordered chicken lollipops and coconut soup. Both were very tasty and we felt that the food was made fresh. We had a pretty good experience here and would consider going back someday. read more

Hands down the best service and food around! Better than almost any Indian restaurant I've been to, this place is a gem. This building has been many different types of restaurants in the past, none of them last more than a couple years. But Gulzar's is almost always busy! The food is excellently made, reasonably priced and comes out quickly. The service is second to none! I'll always go back whenever I'm in town! read more

Stopped during lunch. Buffet was going. Nice place. pretty easy to get to. Got seated right away. Prices are quite reasonable. Food was respectable. Not phenomenal but totally sufficient. Good selection of dishes. Veg and non veg. Some of it felt canned. Like the tandoori chicken. There was nothing 'made from scratch' about it. But again, it was acceptable. Others felt quite homemade, like the dal. Kinda recommended. read more

I love this place! I've been for the buffet and it's good if it's your first time coming in or aren't sure what you want but if you have had Indian food before order off the menu! I love the Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Vindaloo, butter chicken and garlic naan! I try to get something new each time I go but these have been favorites for sure! I always get about a 6/7 heat and I love spicy so I feel like this is a nice level without it being to much. Our servers are always really kind and attentive. And it's a nice little atmosphere. I'm glad we have something like this in Richmond especially when everything else is pretty much just fast food and chain restaurants read more

Excellent food. Chicken and shrimp curry and chicken korma were both outstanding. Will be back on our next trip!

Accidentally stumbled upon this place in Richmond and really liked it. Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala were good, though there wasn't an awesome amount of chicken in the dish. Egg Biryani and Garlic Naan also very good. (The dishes also came with white rice) The Benghan Bharta was just OK. Service was friendly, and nice outdoor seating. Would recommend. read more

My new favorite local restaurant. Food was well spiced and fresh. I will say they are heavy handed on the heat. But some heat is never a problem. We had both the chicken and chickpea tacos for starters and they were flavorful. I had the mango milkshake and my husband had the mango lassi. So good! The buffet is excellent and runs till 4P. Great since I get started late. We took our little granddaughter and they had some beautifully spiced chicken nuggets. No heat whatsoever which is what she needs. I've ordered the spiced tea and that is real good too. The cashier said these were his grandfather's recipes. You can tell the food was made with care. We look forward for any excuse to come to town just so we can eat there. read more
