    my least favorite indian buffet spot ever... food wasn't too bad but they just didn't refill a lot of the items so it felt like we were picking from scraps. it wasn't even like we came right before ending we literally came mid lunch hours?? service was also terrible. the guy didn't even check on us or offer any waters. we had to ask him for napkins and drinks and all he did was point at a fountain for us to get ourselves... i love a good indian buffet and have it a few times a month but this place is one i won't return to

    First time eating here and we had Chicken Korma and Chicken Curry with Garlic Naan bread and they know how to make real Indian food.

    Food again was to spicy we asked for medium and the restaurant was dirty. Sticky floors under our table and all the tables by the window were never cleaned the whole hour we were there. Food is good but to spicy and service is very slow and no show. Its been a year so we went back but still no positive changes. The restaurant is very hot inside felt like 85 degrees F.

    Large, open space with kitchen being partially viewable from the dining area. Service was a bit slow & we were not given two menus, just the one on the table. The food was amazing, fresh and delicious- almost enough to offset the service.

    Came here on a Sunday around 2pm for lunch. First thing I would like to preface is that the food tasted really good, packed with a lot of flavor. However, when we arrived, they still had their lunch buffet which isn't your typical buffet layout, just a long table with a few staple dishes. We're not sure if because we came a bit late? But the food at the buffet looked like it had been sitting out for a long time and wasn't refilled. When we went up to get food, a lot of the sustenance was pretty much gone, just sauce/curry at that point and had gone cold. The restaurant didn't have many customers so maybe that's why they didn't refill? We got Garlic Naan and it was pretty good, came out fresh and hot. We asked our server if the naan was unlimited and she said it was. However she didn't ask if we wanted a refill and we were left empty. We also ordered Mango Lassis but didn't receive any. I understand the mindset of "not good service means great food" however all I ask is for our order served She ended up checking up on other tables around us. Keep in mind, the restaurant had 3 parties including ours. Since we were disappointed, we left earlier than we anticipated. Probably were there for around 30 min. When we went to go pay the bill, I visibly saw our server eyed and gestured to the front staff to make sure we wouldn't dash (maybe I interpreted it wrong ‍) When I got my receipt, our Mango Lassis never got put in as an order. No wonder. For $22-23/per person for the "buffet" I'm disappointed. We do want to try going again but in the morning to see if it'll be better.

    All in all a solid choice for Indian food in Anaheim. What interesting is they do have a few indo Chinese dishes , which not all Indian restaurants have. I ordered the fried okra. Cooked to an inch of its life. I didn't eat much of it as it was drastically overcooked with little to no seasoning . A miss Indian spring rolls- I was hoping for an interesting take on a standard spring roll. But.. that is alexacy what it was. Served with a tamarind chutney and mint chutney for dipping. An "ok" item to order Chicken tawa masala - Spicy. This dish fit not hold back on the spice, which was nice. The chicken pieces were small.. and didn't seem like much chicken for the $19 price tag. Maybe six bite size pieces? Butter naan. The star of the show. Perfectly cooked. Drenched in butter. Light as air Service was pretty non existent. Order taken, food dropped off. That's it. I walked to front to pay I probably won't make an effort to return. But wouldn't hate it if I did.

    Chicken Tikka Masala and Rice

    Tasty Indian food that's open late! I came late in the evening on Wednesday it was not busy inside. They have a big screen with Bollywood music videos playing and many tables. Chicken Tikka Masala - This was spicy and mildly creamy. I asked for medium spicy and it just had the lightest kick so it's very safe you want middling heat. If you want to feel something go with hot. The large bowl had sauce a plenty and large chunks of tender, juicy white meat. I thought it was just fine. Garlic Naan - I loved their garlic naan. It was a large piece, thin, crisp on the edges and slathered with a ton of garlic and butter. It was more on the medium to thinner side, which I like better than being too thick. On a hungry day I would definitely be ordering two orders of this for myself. Basmati Rice - This does not automatically come with your dish so you need to order it separately. A single $4.99 order can be split between two people. Service was quick. This restaurant is located next to the famous La Casa Garcia, across the street from the Target center. I would definitely come back, especially late at night for an Indian food fix!

    This is when it was ready. It's 12:21

    I'm sure the food is good. If I ever get it. Called in an order and they text me and told me it was ready. They literally have a buffet out and could have picked it from there. I'll add stars for the food when I eat it. Holy smokes. 20 minutes later and it was already sitting the entire time on the counter. I don't tip for takeout. These clowns were doing it on purpose. No more stars, no matter how good it is. WOW

    Delicious! All well-seasoned except the saag paneer was one of the less flavorful ones I have tried. Loved the garlic naan, chicken madras, pickle, raita, and rice. Will note that many of the items on the menu were not available. Would go again when in Anaheim!

    Butter Chicken, ew

    Tried to give this place another shot but had a bad experience again. My butter chicken was bright pink and the container was filled halfway. They got my order wrong when I called in so I had to wait longer for them to fix it. Nothing is ever spicy no matter how much I emphasize liking spice. The place is HOT and stuffy. Do yourself a favor and do go to the one in Santa Ana, never have any problems there.

    Food was way too oily! Most greasy food i've ever tried. Flavor was good, but we couldn't even finish the food because of the amount of oil sitting on top of it

    We craved for Indian food and so we went to this place. Huge place and seating area as well, but just one waiter who was taking orders, getting food, and hence we almost waited for 10-15 mins just to get water and to be taken order. We were at a point to leave the restaurant even. Coming to the food, it was fine, not the best of all; however, the waiter, who was a kid, just didn't have courteous communication. Not a very appealing experience here, and moreover, the restrooms were very dirty, and I can't give kudos for any hygiene here.

    Chicken Beryani
    Gen G.

    This is very near our office and our team decided to visit the place. Loved their buffet! I had a little of everything and almost all item I had was just delicious..just the right amount of flavor for us who just want to dabble in different cuisines, including Indian. At $23 per person, we all left happy and content. Came back at another time for lunch to have some Chicken Beryani and it was, as I expected, very delectable with plenty of chicken -- not all-rice like the others. Their serving is quite large for $18, too. Ambiance is okay, service is okay. Will definitely come back to try their other items.

    The food was very tasty. It was the first time I had eaten such food in America Today we had Kadhi Paneer Saag Paneer Fish Pakora and garlic naan which were very tasty.Chef Preet made the food very tasty. And Prabh served us very well. He has a very good personality.we will come again

    The remains of Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, and Lamb Curry. The Garlic Naan was also incredible, not a spec of that left.
