This is the best Indian restaurant in Memphis. I have gone here for years, and it never disappoints. They have a weekly lunch buffet with dishes that are different each time and everything is always excellent. The price can't be beat, either! The staff is always friendly & inside is calm and comfortable. Definitely a top choice for lunch any day! read more

Visiting Memphis this week (week of Sunday 5/10/2026) for a recruiting trip for my $26 billion manufacturing company and was tired out from the previous night, getting ready for it! Am staying at the Courtyard by Marriott - East Memphis Bill Morris Parkway, and was starving! I was so happy and relieved to find on Yelp and Door Dash that Mayuri Indian Cuisine was open until 9:30 pm! So, I ordered their Lamb Biryani, Spinach Dal Curry, Garlic Naan, Mango Juice, Basmati Rice and a Sprite! Wow -- this was the most delicious Indian food I've had in a while! Everything was so fresh, flavorful and served in generous, filling portions! Plus the level of spiciness was just right!! My Door Dash delivery person - Octavia - did a great job getting my order to me quickly and efficiently! I will definitely order again from Mayuri and recommend it to my colleagues!! read more

Mayuri Indian Cuisine - L TO R: Lamb Biryani, Spinach Dal, Garlic Naan, 2 chutney dipping sauces (Indian yogurt and tomato), Sprite and fresh mango juice!! - Indian Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I have always had a good experience at Mayuri! The employees are very kind and attentive, the lunch buffet is good and fresh, and it always seems to be busy with no wait. It is open Tuesday-Sunday from 11 am- 2:30 pm for $13.95 per person. I always enjoy getting to try the different dishes. I would be careful to try a little bit at a time the first time you go up if unfamiliar with what you are eating! Some of the dishes can be very spicy and can be hard to tell at first. They also have some pretty good desserts! The restrooms are not the best, but other than that do not have any complaints. I would recommend giving it a try! read more

No, food was ok. Ordered combo plate of soda, Isley and medu vada. Sambas was good. Ambiance is ok. Server messed up my desert and served Kheer warm instead of cold. read more

Really good samosas and Channa masala!! The staff is super attentive, nice and informative! Would def recommend and come back!

Been my favorite Indian spot for years, I can't wait for them to bring the buffet back! Everything is amazing, service is satisfactory, and the ambiance is what you'd expect. The lamb saag, chicken curry, chicken makhani, and chili chicken appetizer are my favorites. read more

I got the Beginners special just to make me choose dishes away from my normal. Appetizer sampler was good. The chicken curry was great.

I like food mainly tiffin combo. I like their lunch combo. One quick tip is to include some real vegetable as part of thali. Otherwise very good food at reasonable price. I visit them frequently and post frequent videos in my channel https://www.youtube.com/@memphistnliving read more

Great food. Glad the buffet is back open on weekends. Rarely crowded. Consistent level of food. Nice folks.

This dine-in and carry out restaurant is a hidden secret for the area. The food here comes out hot. The servers will take care of you. They serve traditional Indian food that was the perfect (for me) amount of spice. We ordered a Thali style of food. Thali is a style of serving multiple dishes on a single plate, often with rice, dal, raita and bread. We asked for some more orders of food to taste different dishes and they were so nice to let us add to our order. We finished with kheer desert. The ambience inside is calm and quiet with beautiful decoration. The dining area was very clean. I would recommend this restaurant to any of my friends if they enjoy Indian style food. read more

Mayuri Indian Cuisine - Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Vindaloo, Aloo Gobi, Paneer Tikka Masala, - Indian Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

The food and service was pretty good. Portion sizes are huge. Wish we would of been told that 1 order of rice was enough for 3 people. We had the Chicken karahi, butter chicken, chicken boti, and garlic naan. Can't wait to go back to try more! The owner was very pleasant. He asked us how we enjoyed and recommended a dish to try next time! read more

Delicious. The way I inhaled my plate was ungodly. Everything was so flavorful, I couldn't stop my self. Each sauce had its own special dance on my tongue, exciting each individual taste bud with soothing bliss. The Saag was my personal favorite. I could eat that for a month straight and be the happiest, most content, man in the world read more

Mayuri Indian Cuisine - Aloo Mutter & Aloo Saag - Indian Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Food was good, I will say that it was served piping hot had great flavor and the portion was generous. I was eating there at lunchtime mid week on my own and I have to say the Service was adequate but nothing to be thrilled about. I was seated. Wasn't asked or offered a drink choice, they just brought me a glass of water. Food came out in a timely manner. As for ambiance, there was no Indian music playing no Bollywood on the TV it was just really quiet. I am sure in the evenings and weekends it is probably better but weekday lunchtimes are really quiet. read more

Honestly, the best thing about this restaurant is the price. The atmosphere is dismal and the service is worse! My husband had the Chicken Vindaloo and said it was completely lacking in flavor. I had the Korma Navratan and it was perfectly average. My dinner was $14.95 and came with dal, curried vegetables, raita, pappadums & Naan, plus dessert. You can't beat that price, but doubt we will return, mostly because of the service. We waited a good 10 minutes after we finished eating & still didn't have a check. Our server had completely disappeared. We asked another server & he ignored us. Finally someone came from the back & we were able to cash out. If we were a different kind of people, we would have walked out. 20-25 minutes just to get the check and pay is unacceptable. read more

This is my favorite Indian place. They have the best aloo gobi I've ever had. And I've tried at least three different Indian locations with this same curry and they seem to all prepare it differently. The flavor at this location is top notch and the service is always good. I love ordering from this location. read more

This used to be my favorite but now not only is the food very mediocre but the place is extremely shabby and live roaches were seen. So disappointing. read more

Ordered Malai Kofta: Excellent Veg Samosa: Great Gobi Manchurian: Different flavor than when ordered at other restaurants. Did not enjoy. Eggplant Pakora: Terrible Garlic Naan: Terrible (dry, not soft) Didn't want the thali but that's how they understood my order. Just wanted the entree and naan. Thali had smaller portion of Malai Kofta but many other items that I did not want. Good thing about thali is that you can pick any curry. read more

Mayuri Indian Cuisine - You know what time it is!! Probably the best dosa I've had in northern hemisphere!! - Indian Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

This place is as good as it gets for Indian food in Memphis, which admittedly is not a very high standard. Mayuri has been our go-to Indian place before the pandemic, but recently the food quality seems to have gone down a bit. It could be an effect of the pandemic with the staffing, but last two times we were disappointed by not so great flavors for Madras Chicken, masala dosa, naan, and gobi Manchurian- all of our previous favorites. I won't give this place 3 stars just yet with the hopes that it bounces back post-pandemic. Pick it up Mayuri, we need you in Memphis. read more

Love their food, I have been coming here for 10 years, I alive everything they have to offer!

I love panneer curry！！! Also, It was spicy which I love it！！！！！！！！ It's best curry in Memphis so far. read more

Mayuri Indian Cuisine - a table full of food - Indian Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

This place is the place all my Indian friends love the best. So it gets that stamp of authenticity and approval. The workers here are very friendly and the owner is pretty cool as well. They list their food entries as either a la carte or dinner. Get the dinner, it's only $2 more and it comes with a bunch of little side stuff (see my picture) like Rasam, Sambar, Raita, Special Curry, and Spinach Dal Curry. I'm not sure if they do the same stuff for each dinner plate or if it changes by day/dish but it's pretty awesome. I went back with a neighbor and her parents to try the buffet and I kept up with my list! I've talked to the owner before and some friends and this buffet doesn't serve what we expect because it's from a different region (or something of that nature). Interestingly enough there wasn't any plain basmati rice, though there was white rice. The Tandoori Chicken is also good here and I intend to get my own plate one day (I tasted my friends and the buffet so far). I didn't like the Lamb Curry until I mixed in the Raita because the lamb tasted too much like goat to me and the spices on the meat were just not working for me. But the Raita balanced it all out. I love the Chicken Tikki Masala here. If you'd like a variety of things to try, give the First Time Special a try. It's got a lot of different things all thrown in for a very reasonable price (pretty much the same as the tikka masala a la carte). Love: - Chef's Special Curry (not on the menu) - Chicken Makhari (try spicy) - Chicken Tikki Masala - Curd Rice - Onion Pakora - Paneer Tikka Masala - Ravvakesari - Spinach Dal Curry - Spinach Pakora - Tandoori Chicken - Vegetable Koorma Curry Like: - Chicken Curry (mixed with Raita) - First Time Special - Gulab Jamun (strong flavor) - Mixed Vegetable Appetizer - Raita (best mixed with other stuff) Ok: - Butter Chicken - Chicken Biryani - Fried Cabbage - Garlic Naan - Lamb Curry (when combos with Raita) - Potato Pakora - Rice Kheer (could be sweeter) - Sambar Soup - Spinach Dal Curry - Vangi Bath Dislike: - Chicken Saag - Eggplant Pakora - Great Vidaloo - Mango Fruits - Mushroom Matter - Rasam Soup (sharp taste) read more

I visited Mayuri with my family this past weekend for my mother in law's birthday before a concert at the Germantown Performing Arts Center (GPAC). I thought it was a pretty good meal. We ate the chili paneer (good), chana masala (good), chicken biryani (good), and tandoori shrimp (for me, the shrimp got way too charred on the fajita-like pan, leading to pretty overcooked and burnt shrimp; didn't enjoy this dish at all). The service was good. The restaurant is sort of traditional and very casual. They had a buffet when we were there (they do lunch buffet 7 days a week and dinner buffet on Friday and Saturday), but we weren't sure we were hungry enough to make that worth it. The restaurant was pretty empty when we were there on a Saturday night, but it started to pick up a bit towards the end of our evening there. Overall, everything was fine. It just wasn't a meal that stood out in any way. read more

Mayuri Indian Cuisine - Indian Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

We went on Wednesday evening at 6:00 PM. There was only one other person in the dining area. We saw a few takeout (or Door Dash or Uber eats) orders get picked up, and eventually another couple came in. We're fairly new to Indian food, so we needed help and recommendations. The gentleman who seated us and served us was apparently one of the owners. He was helpful with recommendations, and explained what the items were. We had the Chicken Tikka Masala dinner and Lamb Curry dinner. We received our food surprisingly fast. Everything we had was delicious. Portions were more than adequate. We went home with enough food left over for my lunch the next day. Service was excellent. We'd normally expect that, given the few customers in the dining room. But given the staffing issues that restaurants are dealing with, service can't be taken for granted. There is currently a 10% surcharge on all menu items, due to the recent spike in prices of EVERYTHING. The sign was posted on the front door, so we knew it going in. That may upset some people, but it may as well be there as reflected in the menus. All considered, we thought prices were very reasonable. We're not qualified to compare this with other Indian restaurants, but we were very pleased, and will plan to return. read more

I like spicy food, but this chettinad was impossibly hot! FAR FAR FAR too spicy! If you have to make your food that spicy, at least tell customers and offer a medium spicy version. read more

Good no panipuri that's an Indian staple. Lost me as customer until it's added to menu

This is my Dad's favourite Indian restaurant in Memphis and I can totally see why!! I came here with my mother and brother for the weekend lunch buffet and then again during the weekday with co-workers so I have had the buffet twice here and then got a Dosa from the a la Carte menu another time. I really like the mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian buffet choices that are available here. The food choices are plentiful and the buffet really worked with my co-workers as there was such a variety of choices and there is something to please every palate. What I like most about this place is that the food is very homely - the taste is like something I can imagine my mom or me cooking at our at home. The food here doesn't have the slickness from other Indian restaurants like Saffron perhaps but that's why I like this restaurant so much more! I also like the change and variety of the buffet options. The first time I went they had Lamb curry which was delicious and then the second time it was lamb mince curry. Also both the dessert choices for the buffet are great! The Sago milk pudding slightly edges out the gulab jamun for me, but it's the converse for my brother. I really like this restaurant and plan to absolutely return again! Yelp Review: 17/2017 read more

Pretty awful experience. The guys running this place have snappy demeanor. And the food only looks Indian but is far from it in flavor.

Great food and great service. The portions are huge and the quality is worth it. Will be definitely going back very soon.

Yes yes yes! Loved to idli and masala dosa . The first timers plate is a great deal. One of the good places in Memphis.

This seemed like a really good idea. It was pretty clean looking and had a variety of Indian foods on the buffet to choose from. The food taste was fairly good, but very mild - sort of bland, not a ton of flavor like you'd expect from Indian food. The kicker was how sick I felt afterward. read more

So good and never disappoints. Mayuri is one of the best Indian restaurants in town. I'd recommend it to anyone

I was very impressed with Mayuri. Their buffet has a great variety and is perfect for sampling authentic Indian food. I enjoyed everything that I tried. The only thing on the buffet that I had tried before was the tandoori chicken. Here are some of my favorites: Spinach Pakora (think onion ring minus the ring. Fried onion with spinach and spices.) Chicken Saag (Chicken cooked in a cream sauce not unlike Chicken curry but no spice) Lamb Curry (Delicious and spicy) Mushroom Masala (VERY good. Mushrooms in a spicy cream sauce) I was very impressed with the variety but not so much with the price. Their dinner buffet is $11.95 which seems steep. They do rotate their dishes so they may not have what you had the last time you were there. This is good for variety but bad if you're craving something particular. Definitely go try this place and bring some friends for a cool way to sample ethnic food! read more

Mayuri Indian Cuisine - Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Saag. Don't worry I tried MUCH more than this! GREAT variety!! - Indian Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I ordered through a food delivery app - asked on three items to please include tamarind sauce, but not even a side was sent with the pakora. Speaking of the pakora - no thank you. The rice was clumpy and too soft. The vindaloo is bland. I love Indian food, really. I would not go back to Mayuri, I only chose it because I was close in distance and hungry. There are too many other good Indian places in town - Curry Bowl, Bombay Grill, India Palace... read more

We ordered a la carte instead of eating the buffet. Very generous portions of rice, nan, and tandoori chicken! I had a party of three, and we ordered family style, sharing the dishes among us. We took home as much as we ate! The tandoori chicken is quite spicy with an excellent flavor and very tender meat. We also ate a lamb curry and a chicken curry. Both were excellent. The samosas were served with three different sauces that were fun to try. Service was laid back but friendly and responsive. I typically eat Indian at Bombay House on Germantown. I prefer the rice at Bombay, but the curries at Mayuri are equally as good. The tandoori chicken is much better (spicier, more tender, larger portions) than that of Bombay. In all, this restaurant has become a strong contender for my favorite Indian restaurant. read more

Hands down, the best Indian food we have ever had! We have been visiting Mayuri since 2008 and now bring our children along as well. The waitstaff are very friendly and the buffet extensive. While other restaurant buffets have the small selection of just chicken curry and dal, Mayuri always has a huge selection with chicken makhani, lamb keema, chana masala, fresh naan, Rasam soup, basmati rice, tandoori chicken, mushroom masala, masala dosas, as well as housemade raita and a selection of chutneys including tomato and mint. The buffet can change up a bit so I'd recommend calling ahead to see if your favorite is on that day. The weekend buffet also usually includes the ever famous chicken tikka masala. The a la carte menu is just as delicious and fresh. We have tried the other Indian restaurants in Memphis as well, and while they all have their strengths, you just can't beat the food and variety at Mayuri. read more

Party of 5 on satuday afternoon. One in our party was Indian and mayuri had previously catered one of his wedding events last year. We were able to bring in a couple bottles of wine which they opened and poured for us. The buffet looked pretty good so I went for that. Everyone else ordered from the menu. Tons of food.... Excellent food. I won't go into extensive detail as to what we had, but it was quite authentic and full of flavor. Good heat on many dishes but nothing excessive. One thing is service was hit or miss.... We had to go get our own menus for example. Had to ask 3x for our check. The decor is haphazard with dusty surfaces, crooked wall hangings, etc. My Indian friend informed me this is typical... That many Indians excel at the food but lack in the other business aspects of the restaurant. It was HOT inside as well... Overall it was quite good and we will be back. There was some pushback when we asked about splitting the check so we handed that ourselves. read more
