Tried this for the first time wanting to like it but it was bland at best. The flavor profile was lacking, not spicy at all. I like to eat Indian food that is bursting with spices and while I could see they used cumin and some turmeric, I couldn't taste the garlic or ginger that was advertised with my dish. The chai was good, but came in a small cup with no refills. My friend that I ate with was vomiting within hours after eating a chicken dish. Maybe it was just a coincidence. The service was decent, server was friendly. Place looked clean. But I go out to eat delicious food that I'm not skilled at making at home, not boring, expensive food. read more

Last time we ordered online the lamb curry came filled with meat (definitely worth $20 for a meal) and was very good. Decided to come back for Easter Sunday and had to order to go and got the same thing. This time though we got 7 pieces of meat in a $20 curry entree. We bought two entrees, plus garlic naan and a drink. And based off the previous time, we thought we'd have enough to share for a family of three. Paid over $50 plus tipped to get home and open our meal up to this. This was coming out of a 10 hour work shift too so we were very hungry. Pretty disappointed with the portion size this time and inconsistent quality. Made us question whether to return this time... flavor was still super good, but had to leave a review because of the way we're feeling about the portion size, especially considering what we paid. read more

We went here for the lunch buffet at 1 in the afternoon. There was no one else there. The restaurant was very clean. We tried every dish the buffet offered. I am not a fan of Indian food because the spices are too much for me. I could eat every single dish because there was no heat whatsoever. The flavors were very unique though and delicious. The rice was burnt and crunchy. There wasn't much meat in the dishes. The naan bread is not like normal naan bread and was crunchy and greasy. It was worth the cost but not what we would call normal Indian heat and flavors. read more

Best Indian Food in Medford! The food was colorful, flavorful and delicious, the service kind and they have a great buffet open every day!! Also, generous hours, I love that they are open late. Yay!! read more

I love me some butter chicken and these guys make a pretty good one. They're happy to spice it up

My wife and I got sick from their food. It was the first and last time we will ever eat there. It's very expensive for the entrées and they consist mostly of sauce. It is very little chicken or vegetable vegetables or shrimp. And the shrimp wasn't even a normal type- - There were only a few bits of strange chopped-up shrimp-like parts that were quite nasty, and we threw them out. I was contacted a week ago by a representative of the Linn-Benton health department. She said she obtained my name and phone number from the collection of receipts that they obtained from this restaurant, and there were numerous complaints about people getting sick from their food. She said this restaurant has been inspected and found to be in violation of the health code. She also said that the restaurant's staff have been warned several times about that. read more

I ate there recently for lunch. It is a buffet style. $20. Multiple dishes, a salad, and garlic naan. Spice level is about a 2/5 for most dishes. A few was 4/5. The waiter came around several times to make sure the group was satisfied. read more

We were here on Sunday for the lunch buffet. Food was very good, had good variety of curry. My favorite was the lamb curry and mint chutney. $15 per person and mango lassi is included. What a great deal read more

I am not in any way trying to be mean the waitress was nice... the food was disappointing to say the least. I literally had to try the CHICKEN TIKI MASALA twice to make sure i was actually eating something. It was so insanely flavorless... it's Chicken tiki masala... one of the most flavor filled dishes i've ever tried. The chutney was also a let down... chutney is one of my favorite things on earth. I wouldn't even consider it as "Indian" cuisine. The service was very slow. Again not trying to shit on this place but I do not want others to be let down in the way we have been. In the picture is our finished meal because it was that intolerable. read more

This place has an amazing lunch buffet. I'm celiac (gluten free) and Staff members walked me through every single dish and what was in it. All the sauces were gluten free. Food was great. It's not very spicy Indian food but it is flavorful. I think this place is super up and coming. Only two buffet items were not gluten free because they couldn't guarantee the fryer wasn't gluten free. Lastly, the bar looks amazing! They said they will probably start a happy hour soon when they hire more staff. read more

The family that owns and operates this fairly new Indian restaurant has been working hard to please their customers, and I have been the happy beneficiary of their efforts. From the buffet to the thali, and the lamb and goat specials, the food has been outstanding and the portions enough for two meals, but I don't like to eat more than I can carry. If you're 70 or older, there's discount on the buffet. I like the spices to be mild, and all the buffet selections were perfect for my tastes. If you want more heat, ask for the spices and add your own. For the other dishes, I always request them to be as mild as possible, so I can appreciate their more subtle flavors. YMMV. read more

Excellent food! Best Indian food I've had. The butter chicken is a must and had the best naan. The service was very good. Honestly more people need to try this restaurant out!! read more

Our friends have been talking about this restaurant and we have been wanting to try it. Today was the day, there was 8 of us. 4 adults, 4 kids, we ordered Samosa which are Potatoes & peas in crisp pastries,Chicken Korma which is simmered gently in a mild almond cream sauce,Chicken Malai Kabob which is roasted chicken breast in a creamy marinade, Malai Kofta Vegetarian which is vegetable dumplings with cheese in a onion cream sauce, and garlic Naan,with garlic & cilantro. Everyone enjoyed everything including the 10 month old baby at the table. Service was great and fast. Customer service was great as well. We will definitely be back. So many things to try. read more

Love this place in north Albany. Thank you for all your hard work to bring us yumm Indian food :)

We're very lucky to have such a great restaurant in North Albany; it's so nice not having to cross the bridge to get some truly delicious offerings. Their butter chicken and tikka masala are both perfection. Garlic naan is always warm and flavorful. I need to get there for their lunch buffet; luckily I can walk there and will need a walk after lunch. read more

Absolutely delicious food! So many choices, too, including many vegetatian and seafood options. The service was outstanding. I can't wait to go back...again and again. read more

Amazing food and the people are so very nice. Highly recommend! Please patronize this local business.

The staff was great. Unfortunately, the food was very bland. We ordered medium spice tikka masala, but it tasted like nothing. We ended up adding salt and spice to our leftovers. The naan had kind of an unusually crumbly texture, was not very good. read more

My husband and I love Indian food but have been waiting for a good one in the area. This one is IT!!!! We had the chicken tiki masala and butter chicken and it was so good and so full of flavor. The staff was so friendly. They have a very diverse menu. I cannot recommend this place enough. Definitely a new staple for us. read more

Service was very friendly and not having eaten much Indian food, I was unsure what to order but everything we chose was amazing. Great authentic flavor! read more

The lunch buffet is back and its bomb! 15 dollars is unbeatable! Its quality food with huge chunks of meat in all dishes, including the buffet. So good! read more

We shared dinner with friends and ordered many dishes to try a wide variety. Pakora were different than what I've had before but tasty and freshly fried; mostly potato, cauliflower and onion. Samosa were excellent, clearly handmade and fully stuffed with potato and peas. Mushroom korma was a little light on mushrooms but the gravy was delicious. Chicken Tikka Masala: chicken breast was dry but that's what happens when Americans prefer white meat. The dish is better with dark meat. I would have liked a little less tomato in the gravy. Lamb Sadha was excellent; tender and balanced with chunks of onion for texture. Possibly the best dish of the night. Goan fish curry was tasty but a little heavier than anticipated. Fish was nicely juicy, not overcooked. The roti were different than expected but interesting. Delicious garlic naan in a chewier style that I liked much better than the pillowy stuff elsewhere. We ordered everything medium and could easily have gone up a level. This is the kind of place where if you go a few times, they'll get to know your preferred spice level. Really gracious people. We ate far too much and everyone agreed we'll come back to try more dishes. I'm interested in the onion bhaji, baingan bartha and dal tadka. read more

We are not that familiar with Indian food and we tried Indian Family Kitchen for the first time. We what heard that the butter chicken was excellent so my husband ordered that. I asked our server for his advice and he gave me several suggestions. I ended up choosing the Lamb Tawa Massala and we ordered garlic naan. Portions were generous and the food was excellent! The butter chicken sauce was so good: a creamy, tomato based delight. The lamb melters in your mouth and the brown sauce with that was also excellent. And the garlic naan!! We will definitely return here again to try other dishes on their very extensive menu! read more

I dined in here on a Sunday night when it wasn't too busy and I can say I'm very happy that this place opened! The service was good, staff is very nice and talkative. I ordered your typical butter chicken entree with rice & naan and it was a good portion- flavorful and fully satisfying! Heads up they have two scales of spice "American" style and Indian style, so if you want your food to be actually spicy, ask for it Indian style. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed the lunch buffet! A wonderful way to sample many different dishes. We appreciated the freshly prepared naan they served us too and drank multiple cups of chai. We hope to return soon again! read more

We went in for an early dinner and it was a good thing we did because they were very busy. We had to wait about 20 minutes for our food to be served after we ordered but it was worth it the wait. The food was delicious. We had the Lamb Tawa Masala, Chicken vindaloo and Cheese Naan. read more

Just got home and I'm very full and satisfied. The food was great and our server explained everything and made sure our spice level was to our liking. Loved the garlic Nana bread, flavorful but not over powering. The lamb was tender and very tasty. I can't wait to go back and try the lunch buffet... read more

The food was delicious. We had fish pakora and a chicken dish. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We will go there again soon.

This is a ultimately positive review but with a caveat. The service issues were real but I dont expect them to struggle with it in the future. They are a new restaurant and they had a bad moment. They were apologetic and accommodated us as best as they could. I still plan to go back and when I do I'll update my review. The food tasted amazing. I had the vindaloo, and my party ordered the Tikka and the tandoori chicken. All delicious. The service issue was simply that it took 1.5 hrs to get our food. They explained why, and apologized. I don't need to go into why here, but I don't see it being a persistent problem. My only critique would be better communication about the delay as soon as it was apparent. Given what is probably a one-off problem, and the quality of the food, I'd still say 4 stars. read more

Excellent food but be clear about your heat preferences . Flavors are amazing! Service was cheerful and polite.

Great family run restaurant with delicious food. The portions are a little small for the price.

5/5 stars, food was delicious, the restaurant had immaculate vibes, the staff was really nice, and the portions are a good size for the price. read more

What a nice family cooking tasty Indian food! I don't think they've been open long and are still working on making this space their own, but I have high hopes that this place will thrive. We tried quite a few of the dishes - garlic naan, chicken tiki masala, butter chicken and a few others, and everything was excellent. They people at the table across from us were repeat customers. read more

So, so good! We had Butter Chicken, Chicken Korma, and I had the lunch special Korma that included the main dish, Naan, a drink, and desert! each dish done to perfection. Definitely will return...soon! read more

Food was horrible. Naan was stale and without garlic or butter. My lamb was so tough I couldn't even chew it. Also spicy when I ordered mild. The creamed spinach was gritty like it had never been washed. My husband's chicken dish was overly spicy and the rice was not cooked thoroughly. $80 down the drain. I do love indian food, I hope they revamp the entire restaurant and menu. read more

Ambiance leaves something to be desired... it is very plain cafeteria like, but the food is very tasty and the service great. I had chicken o a creamy tomato sauce & a shrimp dish. now I want to go back to try something else. read more
