THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ FANTASTIC weekend Indian buffet and everything, I mean, EVERYTHING, was delicious! + Great variety to choose from (approximately 13 different dishes, including dessert) with a good mix of vegetarian and meat entrees. + Buffet includes Tamarind Eggplant, Onion Pakora, Basmati Rice, Naan, Chicken Biryani, Dal Tadka, Soya Chap Dai, Cabbage Poriyal, Fish Curry, Goat Curry, Chicken Tikka Masala, Tandoori Chicken, Chili Chicken, Rice Kheer, Gulab Jamon. + Favorites included the Onion Pakora, Chicken Biryani, Soya Chap Dai, Cabbage Poriyal, Goat Curry, Chicken Tikka Masala, Tandoori Chicken. (Honestly, I could have listed just about ALLL of the hot foods!) - Surprisingly was missing a Paneer dish, which is typically common at Indian buffets. - Beware, the Fish Curry definitely has a kick. - The Gulab Jamon was on the "spongy" side in that it was too soft and, as typically is, too sugary. - Rice Kheer was a bit too "fragrant" for our liking. THE SERVICE ------------------ + Employees were cordial. + Solid service throughout our meal as finished plates were cleared quickly. + Can pay the bill online via a QR code. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Interior is separated into 2 rooms, with a main dining room to the right of the entrance and a smaller dining area to the left where the buffet is. + Clean interior. + Private parking lot with plenty of spaces outside, but you have to pay the meter, even on Sundays. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------- = Came for the Sunday buffet and arrived exactly at opening at 12 PM. Dined for about 1.5 hours and it was busy throughout, but there were always a few tables open. There was a large group dining together in the main dining room, so that was probably the reason why less tables were available than usual.

What impressed us first was their friendly, efficient and thoughtful service. I believe the man who took our orders was the manager. When he learned that I was a dairy-intolerant vegetarian, he informed me that the two veggie dishes I ordered - Bhindi Masala and Smoked Baingan Bharta - both came with heavy cream but they could switch to coconut milk for an extra $2. Then he went down the list of our order to say that some other items also contained a bit of dairy. I figured that I could survive that much anyway. Although the restaurant sign says "creative Indian cuisine", we stayed mostly with the traditional and our favorites. Our order came very quickly. Arriving in a cute mini tricycle, the samosas were surprisingly plump and substantial. Two of those could easily make a meal for me. The Kure Kure Mushrooms were deep fried and coated with creamy seasonings, bus still retained the chewy bite and aroma of oyster mushrooms. The serving was so large, the spices so abundant that both husband and son said they'd resume this dish after our rice arrived. The meat-eaters were extremely happy with the Malvani lamb, while I was just as impressed with the two vegan dishes. Everything was cooked from scratch, retaining the fresh flavor and texture of the ingredients. There must have been a whole pound or more okra packed in the Bhindi masala, which was dryer yet tastier than what I'd experienced elsewhere, a truly honest value. Baingan Bharta is one of my comfort foods, and their version surely met my expectations :-) We loved their creative Rosemary naan, what a delicious fusion of east and west! The waiting staff kept checking our water supply and other needs. The bill was very reasonable. We are sure to come back for more!

The Spinach Soup was a great opener--smooth, well-seasoned, and full of bright, comforting flavor. Shrimp Balchao was the highlight. Sautéed with ginger, garlic, and tamarind, it delivered a perfect mix of heat, tang, and richness. Bold, aromatic, and deeply satisfying. The Garlic Naan came out fresh from the tandoor--soft, lightly charred, and packed with garlic. Ideal for soaking up all the sauces. Mutter Paneer, with tender paneer and green peas in a spiced masala, was creamy and fragrant without feeling too heavy. A classic dish executed really well. Nani's Chicken Curry featured tender chicken simmered in a flavorful blend of spices and onions, with rich, layered flavors that built with each bite.

While visiting nearby restaurants, we saw this new place that opened recently. Modern cozy inside…read more The menu has a lot of the popular Indian dishes. Most of the dishes had some sort of spice, very limited non spicy options. They pre make the base sauce so the spice level is not adjustable. We ordered a lot of the dishes from the menu starting with corn chaat and samosa. Corn chaat didn't really have corn, it was more like corn flakes with tomatoes and onions. The dish was blend, it needed some dressing sauce or yogurt on top to make it tastier. Samosa had good potato fillings, came with green and tamarind chutneys. For entree we got the chicken tikka masala, chicken korma with rice, naan and garlic naan with Amul cheese. Tikka masala was super delicious, thick spicy sauce. I was so glad to see chicken was moist not dry. Korma was a good too. The rice was cooked with jeera, had wonderful aroma. Both naan were excellent, loved the Amul one especially, it was so cheesy. We had the brownie ice cream for dessert, was a yummy one too. The mango lassi was also good, was on the thicker side. All our dishes came out so quickly, almost seemed like they had everything ready to go in the kitchen. It's semi self-served, plastic forks, spoon, knives and plates are next to the register. They serve the dishes in to go boxes, so very easy to pack any leftovers, just need the lids. Overall we loved the food and the atmosphere. Glad to see a good Indian restaurant establishing itself in the area.

The menu marked all the spicy level for each item, which was very helpful for me (I don't eat spicy food). I tried chicken korma with naan. It's creamy and flavorful. Naan was buttery and fluffy. Samosa was good, came in 2 pieces; little spicy for me. Mango lassi with strong mango flavor and good yogurt base. The only thing I didn't like was corn chaat. It's corn flakes (?) with chopped onions,tomatoes and chutneys sauce. The corn flakes really threw me off. Tables and seats inside for dine in. Spacious with history of the restaurant on the wall. Bathroom is clean. Overall a solid place for quick Indian food. Nice and attentive staff. Great customer service and interactions.

We asked nicely for a bright table since we have reservation and the guy told us is all reserved but place was empty meantime. We seated and I have to asked for the light to be turned on so we can see the menu because the other side has lights on. It took sometime until they put it on. meanwhile our wine was getting warmer no wine glasses no water either and they kept walking front and back like they were accomplished something but nothing was going on. we were still waiting looking at them just waiting to order. 15minutes waiting finally they come and asked if we needed wine glass? Oh boy Meanwhile no lights so I use my phone because the table lamp didn't have batteries or not charge. So we say yes please respectfully but still waiting for it. Couple more minutes pass by and water and glasses still nothing. The table next to us was waiting as well for something else I can feel and see them how frustrating they were as well I hear them talking and not happy as well. So we just get up upset and left but of course we make sure we let them know how poorly their services were on top making people waiting so long when the place is literally empty.

I decided to use an online ordering platform and systematically went through the menu, carefully ordering a quantity of two for three completely distinct items. I was hungry, I was prepared for leftovers, and I was expecting a feast. Instead, what arrived at my doorstep was a cruel, half-rationed mystery box containing exactly one of each item. It was a 50% discount on my appetite that I never asked for. Naturally, I called the restaurant to figure out if quantum physics had somehow affected my takeout bag, only to receive a customer service response for the history books. When I questioned them about the missing halves of my order, the employee sighed, offered a half-hearted "sorry," and completely unspooled the inner workings of their establishment with this gem: "We have a new employee who, if I had to guess, doesn't know how to count." Just let that sink in. Not "we'll refund you," not "let me check the kitchen tickets," but a casual, philosophical confession that they employ staff members who haven't quite mastered basic kindergarten arithmetic. Bravo to Indian Curry Kitchen for serving up delicious food alongside an open-admission policy for people who struggle with the number two.

Beautiful music was playing at the perfect volume. We ordered the vegetable pakor as an appetizer, and shared the beef vindaloo medium spice and saag paneer high spice. The paneer was mild in flavor and less spicy than the vindaloo unless you ate a bite of green pepper. This is my first time ordering beef vindaloo instead of lamb so it was nice to taste the flavors that usually are overpowered by lamb. The food came with a big bowl of basmati rice and we ordered garlic and rosemary garlic naan. The rosemary was delicious on its own but I couldn't really taste it when eaten with the vindaloo. Finally, I got a masala chai and it was so delicious, and the gulab jamoon for dessert.

Usually I want to dip my naan in all the sauces and I didn't. If you never had Indian food or tried different places, you might think it was good. The whole table agreed.

Now on to the criticism... the service is not that great, we were seated and given menus, but we had to get our own utensils. This is not really a full service type of establishment, you pay at the register. They could use more efficient expediting, and then things would feel more welcoming. The second thing I was disappointed with, was one of the reasons we came here was for the Masala Dosa. They started off by saying no Dosa and no Biriyani available. We saw a couple walk out because there was no Dosa. We improvised our order to things we weren't too excited about ordering, but both the beef curry and the butter chicken were tasty. The next thing that will prevent us from coming here for dine- in, in the future is the horrible smell in the bathroom and the temperature of the restaurant. We wanted to wash up before our meal, but the smell in the bathroom was gross. It looked clean, but there was definitely an odor. It was 42 F outside and the air conditioning was blasting cold air. I asked twice to shut it off because my kids were freezing and I was cold too, but it looked like all they were able to do was raise the temperature on the unit which helped only minimally.
