I hadn't been back here for maybe half a year. I always enjoyed the vegetarian part of the buffet. However on my visit there last Sunday I was disappointed in some of the vegetarian offerings as follows: - there was no "Gobi" (cauliflower) dish ! - "Channa " (chickpeas curry) was watery. - the "Pakoras " (deep fried morsels/snacks in batter) were not as flavorful as they used to be. - veggie spring rolls were nice and crispy on outside but filling was "doughy". - desert fruit pieces (2 kinds of melon, pineapple) were not ripe/sweet. I was also disappointed that they have abandoned their cloth napkins for undersized "fast food size" paper ones. read more

The food is consistently delicious at this location, I've tried many Indian restaurants and this one has them all beat hands down. Give it a try! You won't be disappointed read more

Upon receiving my delivery order I opened one of my dishes which was the butter chicken and to my disbelief there was half a container of chicken and the rest was pure sauce , which in my eyes looked Like 1 piece of chicken cut up. Usually they package in white and clear containers and I usually purchase a 1L white container at about $19 and they switched the containers to shallow black containers which cost $13. I was disappointed with my order as the packaging and content size must have changed. But I was specific in my order to note that I wanted the white 1L and not 500ml. For the price I paid , I paid $13 for a piece of chicken and some sauce. read more

New Asian Village Restaurant - I paid $13 for a piece of chicken and some sauce. - Indian Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

it was a tremendous experience this time at New Asian village as I haven't eaten in a while. Food was excellent. Also the serving girls (Harpreet & other girl) did an awesome job, she made my dining as comfortable as possible. btw i like your Gulab Jamun. Thanks guys. read more

Love it! Great food (I go to the buffet at least a week) - food is always fresh and the staff is great too.

Great food , the guy who appeared to be the manager didn't say a word when he pushed the bill to me or even when I thanked him and paid, the friendly servers made up for it with their great service but he needs some customer service training read more

OMG, my taxi driver told me about this restaurant and that they had buffet. I was only in Edmonton for 1 night and was all over an East Indian Buffet. I can not tell you how amazing it was, I was dancing in my seat as I ate it. Fresh garlic naan, so good. It is my new fav go-to when I'm in the city. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, and made my experience that much better. My server Rida was pleasant and welcoming. Check it out, it's a must. I rolled myself out of there after 2 plates and dessert. read more

Not at all impressed with the dinner buffet as the food lacked flavor, was not fresh and service was ok. I'm sure there are other better options in town...need to check out Guru and Zaika for comparison. One of the servers was arguing with the bartender. Kheer (rice pudding) was the best fallback plan. The bartender seems like a pleasant guy who took our group selfie. read more

It was "date night" with my sweetheart and his daughter last night (which we do every second Wednesday) and we have both been craving some Indian. My experience with NAV has always been great! Fantastic and almost over the top service every time. I really have very little to complain about. We arrived at about 5:30pm for the dinner buffet, kind of early but we had plan for the evening. We were immediately greeted by our lovely attentive server Francis (that's what our guest check said, however it sounded like his name was something else when he introduced himself). I ordered a Mango Lassi and so did the wee one. He suggested a child's size, we complied. Our drinks came out moments after we placed our order. The buffet was very clean, food was fresh looking and smelled amazing!! I piled up on saffron rice, tandoori chicken (my all time favourite and the best I've ever had), Chana masala, chilli chicken, pakoras (slightly dry), samosas, paneer, the list goes on! Everything was delicious and mostly fresh! I always take into mind that it is a buffet, and these items are not made to order! But having said that, I filled my belly and was not disappointed! Dessert was my favourite! Points of interest... A serious lack of naan!!! When info for Indian I eat solely with my hands and naan is how I make sure I'm getting my rice quota!! While it wasn't non existent, I hate to take all that is there leaving my dates empty handed! Service, while very attentive can be a little much. Maybe this is a cultural thing, but visiting my table 5 times before I've gone for my second helping, can get a little annoying. But... It's better than bad service! Or worse, no service at all. Francis did bring us a lovely dish that wasn't offered on the buffet! It was a cold salad type dish that he explain in detail. It was cool, spicy and very refreshing. All in all my experience was great. New Asian Village really goes above and beyond to make sure your dining experience is one you will not only remember but one that will make you want to come back for more. I really do feel like my business matters when I'm here! And the price is right too! Only $7 for a child's buffet! Lastly, if you have the chance to book one of their small private rooms (I forget what they are called) do so! They are of no extra charge and it really make for an authentic experience! read more

New Asian Village Restaurant - Tandoori Chicken is my fave! - Indian Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

The Service was excellent. We were attended by two customer service personnel by name "Akhil" & "Rida", and they were very pleasant and cheerful, and it looks like Customer service was their motto. One of our group members had dietary restrictions, and even they tailored the dishes to his needs by reducing salt and other ingredients. We really enjoyed the food and their service, after a long time with restaurant restrictions due to this COVID. Both Akhil & Rida, talked in detail to each of our group members, and gave nice food pairing suggestions like experienced Sommeliers, and made our evening a memorable event. We are longing to go there soon read more

Excellent Service we have been there A few times in the evening for a late snack. The service is always been good by the staff and especially Akhil the manager. we ordered chai and a plater of pakoras. It's is a Hugh portion which we never finish. There is a variety of pakoras in the plater. Just the way we like it hot and crunchy! read more

I had a fantastic lunch with my family today once again, we had a delightful waitress named Rida. The manager Akhil always makes us feel great with a smile and he always treats us like family. Please give our special thanks to the manager and wonderful staff. We're looking forward to come back again and again . Everything was perfect and right on time. The food is always hot and tastes great! Not only is the food good, but we always leave feeling great because of the positive staff! read more

I've been here a few times, and while not terrible, it's also not remarkable. Serves your standard: naan bread, saffron rice, butter chicken, tikki chicken. It's very standard fare, with the curries being watery, and the meat very hard (how many times has this chicken been reheated?) However, I recently had lunch here, and after I finished my meal it wasn't even ten minutes before the diarrhea came on. Won't be back. I've said this before to myself, but this time, I mean it. read more

Decided to treat ourselves during our south side vacation by stuffing our faces. And what better way to do that then at an Indian buffet? We came in on Mothers Day Sunday so the place was hoping. What made me most excited was to see all the people of Indian origin choosing to dine here. I always feel that if people who know how to cook this kind of food still come here to eat it must be good. Despite it being busy we were still seated promptly at a nice private table. Our waiter came buy to great us promptly and take our drink order. There was a bit of a line up at the buffet but once it was our turn all of the items on the buffet were still full. Of coarse I filled my plate. My favourite dishes were the bitter chicken and this creamy green spinach stuff that has chunks of Indian cheese in it. I love this dish because it's got that wee bit of curry heat but the cheese is super helpful at cooling down your palate after you've just had a few bites of a dish that packs a bigger wallop in the spice department. In terms of the naan I would suggest asking a cook for a slice fresh off the grill. It's hotter and those few minutes makes a big difference in taste. Over all it was an awesome experience. Our cups were never more then half empty and our plates were cleared promptly. The restaurant is clean and runs smoothly. The Devore is opulent and true to its Indian roots. We left with a smile on our face and an amazing warmth in our bellies. Literally it felt like my belly was getting a yummy hug. Lol read more

My server hapreet and rida was so pleasant and accommodating to our stay. would reccomened

I don't know if they've stepped up their game recently or if I just don't remember it being this good...but WOW! I can't give them 5 stars because they were out of naan bread on the buffet. I checked multiple times, but they couldn't seem to keep it stocked. They may want to consider Dawaat's approach, where it's brought out in a basket to your table. But beyond that.,.. the quality of the food is just amazing. I usually stick to the butter chicken, but even branched out this time because everything was so good. Despite the fact that I was there on a busy Saturday night, they were very attentive and were sure to keep our wine glasses full. Availability of naan bread would have bumped them up to 5 stars for sure. read more

The ambiance in this place is really beautiful, the buffet is always fresh and has plenty of vegetarian options. My only concern is that I have found meat in my veggie dish 3 times, but you take that risk eating at a buffet read more

I was really impressed with this place. For some reason, when I went to Edmonton, I wasn't expecting to have authentic Indian Food. I know stupid me, but this place is a gem. My dad took my sister and I here for a dinner while visiting family in Edmonton. This was my first time experiencing a dinner buffet. And what a joy it was. There were so many different items to choose from, it was almost overwhelming. But when you get all those choices for under $20? Amazeballs! The tandoori chicken was one of my favorites, it was so moist, and it fell right off the bone. I also really enjoyed their samosas, I just wish they had been included with the buffet, not something I had to order separately. The waiters were great, ours (I wish I could remember his name) was super attentive, and was always coming to check on us. He even made us an appetizer from the buffet, Chatpati Papadi, which is something I had never had before, but really enjoyed. I'm on the hunt for it now that I'm back in LA. I will definitely make a stop the next time I'm in Edmonton. Four stars, for lack of Garlic Naan, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Samosas in the buffet. I know it's small, but I'm picky and I like what I like! read more

Food was fantastic! There wasn't a dish that I didn't like. It was very nicely decorated and had a very traditional feel. All of the food was authentic Indian cuisine. My favorite part was that the waiter brought us little dishes on the side to try at no extra charge. My only complaint was the desserts. They were a little strange and there wasn't a lot to choose from. I would definitely be back. Very friendly staff as well. read more

Went in for lunch yesterday. Have always had wonderful experiences with the West Side location, and was looking forward to buffet and coconut naan. The waiter began leading me to a tiny table with a regular chair. Due to spinal degeneration, I'm in pretty much constant pain these days, and booth seats are so much more comfortable. Most regular chairs are too hard and uncomfortable-- even if they are cushioned. He had to check with his supervisor, and both of them made sure I knew that booths were only for parties of 4 or 6. I don't eat a lot, was there at the early end of lunch rush, and I didn't plan on staying long-- only enough for one plate, some naan, and a little chai. I've never encountered this problem on the West Side, when I'm given a nice spacious booth to myself. I went to Sabzy instead and had a wonderful lunch (try it, they're right behind New Asian). Next time I'll go back to the West Side. This location doesn't need my business. read more

We went here for a night out as there was a groupon - was a good deal. Until they did not accept the groupon at the end. Very unimpressed of the staff, they should've notified us of the beginning of the meal when we mentioned it instead of at the end. The food at this location is still mediocre, it has gone downhill in the last few years, I would recommend other Indian restaurants in the area as the flavor and service seems better at them, it seems like they are not working as hard to keep their restaurant standing out at this location. read more

Good selection of buffet items. Highlights are probably the lamb vindaloo and the paneer. Some the dishes, like the butter chicken, are a little too mild. I like that one can peer into the kitchen and watch them make the naan. read more

I've never suggested not to go to a place, but I'd say it now; DO NOT go to this place. It's over priced and the food is not worth it, at all. The servers are people who should not be in the service industry at all,as they are rude. The food quality is not the best.They keep the same sauce they keep using for all their food and it gets redundant. I've been to their South and West location. I'd say they are consistent, unfortunately, consistently bad. No matter what you have, a la carte or buffet, eat in or take out. Every single time, they never fail to disappoint you. read more

Went for a lunch buffet. The place turned out to be a pleasant surprise. As noted in the first review, ambiance, interior, whole experience is great. The private dinning areas does make it better. Service was friendly and excellent. There was a good mix of items for the lunch buffet. Considering this is Edmonton the food was pretty good. Having not tried other Indian places in Edmonton its not fair to compare, but this place should be right up there on the list when it comes to Indian food in Edmonton. read more

Don't be fooled by the exterior! Shabby outside, gorgeous inside, and GREAT food. I never expect much from buffets (especially in suburban areas), but was really happily surprised. Delicious, hot, and and fresh food. The curried fish was fantastic. Would be a great place to take a large group. Look forward to ordering from here tonight and trying their delivery! read more

Been eating here for many years and have never been disapointed. Great food and service with an authentic atmosphere. Money well spent every time for fresh and amazing east Indian food!!! read more

Had a worst experience of buffet here. Arrived 8pm and already they were out of buffet menu. They were out of dosa from the menu and excuse was dosa machine is out of order. Come on such a big Resturant and what a silly excuse. Maximum of items were cold and tasteless. Around 9 all servers were like take deserts and get the hell out of here, it's our closing time. Seriously I have been here 4 to 5 times in past and never had this kind of bad experience. So this time decided to write review so that they can learn some lession. Never coming back here read more

Not sure what happened to the tall Indian manager who used to be there but he seems to have been replaced but some incompetent, pretty, young Indian girl. This girl is horrible at her job. We had a problem with our service from one of the male servers and the way that she spoke to us was so insulting. Someone needs to teach this girl how to talk to people if she is going to be the one handling complaints. We were regulars at this restaurant but if this girl is going to be in charge, I am scared to see what will happen to the restaurant. I hope the owners get this girl out of there before she ruins their business, We have had her as a waitress before as well and she was terrible. We ordered a bottle of wine before we went up to the buffet. When we returned to our table the wine was sitting on the table opened. She never even returned to pour it for us. I understand this is buffet but when we are paying for a bottle of wine, I expect to receive some sort of wine service. There is no consistency with the service. The other girls there are professional and take great care of us when we are there. It's just when we get some of the male servers and this Indian girl that we don't get the service that we come for. The food however is always great. I would still recommend this restaurant but just don't expect your complaints to be handled with any seriousness. read more

If your looking for quick food with good flavour this is a great place to come. Adequate seating for the family and friends. When it comes to allergies and sensitivities do be aware. Staff will tell you something is safe but you can observe through the pass that items were contaminated. read more

So I drive by this place all the time for years, never really knew about it or pay attention to it. A friend recommended we grab lunch there, and I was excited cause it was something new. Walked in and bam, it was an Indian buffet, and boy do I love buffets . They seated us right away, the dinning room was about 3/4 full, and the decor was smoothing, the steel water cups were cool to use. At the buffet they offered a wide variety of popular Indian dishes , I tried what I was craving , safforon rice, Currey chicken, their lamb Currey , and the yummy desserts, everything was hot and fresh. Service was good, empty plates were taken almost immediately when we were done . I now know where to go when I have cravings for Indian food now! read more

Fabulous. We went for the buffet, and were hugely wowed by it. Everything was fresh and well maintained, wonderfully spiced. Ordered a chai and some beer. I was amazed at how often they came to refill water and the chai. Well done, everybody. read more

The best and most reasonably priced buffet outside of Vegas. Fresh Fresh Fresh!

Excellent food! Was visiting Edmonton for the day from Calgary. Thought we would try this place out, and I'am glad we did!! The dinner buffet was excellent, and a good price (Just under $20/person). The food was delicious! The quality of service was great as well. I hope they continue with the strong work they have put into these restaurants, and I hope they open in Calgary, it's about time!! P.S. The dessert was great, the ras malai and rice dessert (kheer) was great. The food is definitely NOT recycled buffet food! read more
