    Giving this 5-stars based on food and service. Atmosphere, while clean, had a distinctly down market feel. The restaurant is located in a strip center just west of the intersection of Westheimer and Westpark Drive, in the Briar Forest area west of BW 8. We were welcomed and seated promptly. This being our first foray into Maharashtrian cuisine (although having eaten the odd dish previously), we took our time ordering - Kokum Juice (tangy, slightly sweet, with Chaat masala, etc.), Kothimbir Vadi (Cilantro plus other spices mixed in dough, fritters) and Sabudana Vada (Sago fritters) for appetizers; Maratha Vegetables, Bombay Masala Noodles, dry Cauliflower Manchurian, and Pithala/Bhakri combo (a Gram Flour-based gravy/curry with Millet flat bread). Food arrived after a while as it appeared to have been made afresh. Tastes were fantastic, and quantities were ample. A great first holistic intro to Maharashtrian cuisine. Prices were reasonable, with the whole meal setting us back approx $70 for 5 persons, with taxes All in all, an excellent outing - plan to return.

    Lunch buffet experience on the weekday was great. They had a bunch of curries, meat and veggie…read moreoptions, and a lot of flavored rices. When we went here 90% of the customer base seemed south asian which is a great sign. They have dessert as well. There was a long line for food and limited space but I can't dock them for that. We were seated upstairs which was a little cumbersome due to having to carry plates up and down but it was fine. My SO who has a low spice tolerance definitely had a little bit of trouble with some dishes, but I definitely loved the spice. The weekend buffet apparently is more expensive but they said they have shrimp and fish options on the buffet line so we would like to try that too. Great experience here.

    I was excited to try this restaurant and selected it for my birthday celebration. Overall, I…read moreenjoyed the experience and would visit again. I do hope some areas will have improvements. Pros -There were a lot of vegetarian options that taste good. I actually thought the vegetarian choices tastes better than non-veg. My favorite veg dish was the mushroom masala fry, and my favorite non-veg was the Virudhu Nagar Chicken Pakora. -We got seated upstairs and although it's a lot of going up and downstairs to get food, I thought it was nice to be seated upstairs near the entrance so we got to see the whole restaurant. The buffet area looks impressive. I liked this portion of the restaurant but do feel that space is limited especially with large parties. -Staff were all very nice and helpful. -There was a dosa station. I didn't get to try because I was just so full! Cons -We went during lunchtime and although we didn't have to wait for a table, it was crowded at the buffet area when getting food, and at times people take a longer time getting food. -The non-veg was a bit disappointing as the taste was a bit bland, especially the curry types which should be bursting with flavors. -They offered a special fish dish but it has bones which I don't prefer. -They did not have my favorite puri when we were there! No Indian buffet restaurant should ever run out of puri or not offer! -There was mango ice cream and a variety of other desserts!

Upon entering, the ambiance was impeccable and we were quickly seated. Our waiter came over and seemed annoyed when none of us were in the mood for alcohol that evening. After reviewing the menu, we decided to split a few dishes family style. The Butter Chicken Experience, Mulwani Fish Curry, Laal Maas and some naan. When the waiter returned, he asked if we would like an appetizer, which we declined. He once again, seemed annoyed and took our food order. We were shocked how quickly the food came out, but all of us agreed, the food was phenomenal. Each sauce was perfectly paired for its dish, the lamb chops fell off the bone and wonderful flavors were had at every turn. Upon finishing our meal, the waiter returned to offer us dessert. We had made dessert plans elsewhere, so we declined. Once again, our waiter was very short with us and seemed annoyed. We all left very confused. Our assumption was that the waiter was annoyed because he thought we would not leave a good tip, but the restaurant enforces a 20% service charge on all meals. He was going to receive his "tip" even if we thought the service was poor. The food was worthy of a Michelin Star, but the service certainly was not. Ambiance: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Service 2/5 (The guy coming around with water was on point and raises this a category a full star!)

    I came with a fairly large group of coworkers on a Wednesday for lunch. We arrived around 11:15 and…read morestayed until roughly 12:30 or so and we were the only party in the restaurant the entire time. Granted a group of 12 people showed up unannounced right around opening time, the service was still a bit on the slower side. We waited about 30-35 minutes to receive our samosas and another 15 minutes to receive our Thali plates. All twelve of us ordered the same thing--the Regular Thali. The Thali is a platter that comes with 3 different curries or stews, 3 types of breads, rice, dessert, and a samosa. While I am not very knowledgeable about Indian cuisine and have no basis of comparison, the three curries and breads were delicious. Of the three curries, the paneer masala was my favorite and I enjoyed all three breads. The vegetable curry and lentil stew were both equally delicious and offered a change of pace from the paneer masala. The samosa was a bit of a miss for me due to the shell being a bit on the thick side, but the spices and tamarind chutney were good, but not outstanding. The benefit of ordering the Thali is that it is an affordable way to sample a very good variety of foods with the option or order more of whatever included curry, bread, samosa, rice, dessert completely free as a part of the Thali set. Would I go back? Yes, I would go back to have the Thali again but I'm unsure if I would be adventurous enough to order a full portion of a single curry or dish simply out of unfamiliarity with Indian cuisine. However, I would avoid Gayatri Bhavan if my boss isn't taking an extended lunch break with us.

Filter coffee was good, not too sweet. Service; the one man working (we came at an odd hour between lunch and dinner) was helpful and friendly. Our food came out on time. The restaurant itself was clean and well kept. Will return for the buffet one weekend.
