Everything on the buffet was fresh and plentiful, and I appreciated the desserts and chai were included.

Regardless, this is a great choice for Indian especially on that side of town. I was also reviewing their menu and was delighted to see that they have Momos, which I believe are Nepalese dumplings. I will definitely try them next time I'm there! The mango lassi was fabulous too, and I noticed that they have Rose lassi and lime soda as well.

The owner of this establishment is seriously hands down the best. He treats you like royalty whether it's your first visit ever or the fourth visit that week. The food is amazing, but if it wasn't, we'd still frequent just for the service. Fortunately, the food is INCREDIBLE! We usually have him pick an appetizer for us so we try different things every visit...each time it's been a win. The chicken korma and chicken curry are my go to for dinner, but my SO tries something different everytime and again, he's happy with his choice everytime. I just don't think there's anything not delicious on the menu. Also... He always makes us feel very comfortable even though our family includes a messy, picky toddler. That's priceless in my book. Can not rave about this place enough! read more

My experience at this restaurant has been outstanding. Not only is it a clean and welcoming place, but the staff is also exceptionally friendly and genuinely cares about their customers. The food is fantastic, and they are always happy to prepare it exactly the way you like it. It's a wonderful family-run restaurant where you are treated like a valued guest rather than just another customer. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail make every visit enjoyable.

I love this place. It is a bit pricey, but worth it. I'm local and this is one of my favorite places. The first time my husband and I ate here was amazing. The owner was so kind. He answered all my questions (I had never had Indian food) and gave great advice. I feel in love with Indian food! We ordered take out again a few weeks later, and when I picked it up he recognized me! He was so genuinely happy to see me! All the food arrived home without a spill too! Care was taken in the packaging of every item. I really can't say enough about how awesome this place is. Amazing food and great people! read more

This restaurant only suck up to Americans. Thats why all the good reviews are by Americans. Their Attitude towards Indians and Punjabis is pathetic. They are so arrogant that they would literally shoo away customers. Rudeness is at the maximum. Staff shows away their newly attained English accent even if you talk in Punjabi or Hindi. Doesnt matter how good food they make, their stupid behavior and arrogant attitude earns them the lowest Star from me. I would rather eat junk today than tolerate this s**t. Harpreet Brar read more

The hummus was good, but the sandwich didn't have many veggies on it and the pasta salad was very bland. The restrooms here were also kind of grungy. Overall, it was just a very average place with odd vibes. Nothing particularly wrong with it, but I probably wouldn't return unless going with a group who wanted to try it. One good thing is that they do have plenty of vegetarian options and a gluten free menu (you have to inquire about that).

They have plenty of vegetarian items. I got the pad see ew. It was very good, but either they didn't think to ask me about the spice level (or there isn't an option)--I'm not sure. I was so hungry after hiking that I forgot to ask them to make it spicy. No matter, it was good nonetheless. I do wish they had tofu as a protein option, but I know we are in Branson... one of the most meaty and non-healthy places on earth. My wife got the pineapple fried rice with chicken and loved it. Overall, Tom's and the area in general are absolutely stellar. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for something other than greasy, fried or meaty foods. The owner was very friendly.

They were out of Thai tea during my visit, but I still ordered several dishes, all of which were very reasonably priced. I tried the Tom Yum noodle dish, a rice bowl, and a noodle bowl. I also ordered a Thai green tea, which was made with matcha. The service was quick, and the small menu helps them prepare dishes efficiently without sacrificing quality. The food came out fast, and everything tasted amazing. The flavors were fresh, well-balanced, and satisfying. This food truck is definitely a spot I would visit again.
