    Chana Masala

    Best Indian food in the area!! The restaurant is immaculately clean and the service was top notch . I have had real Indian food before and this is as an authentic as I have seen. The spices are well balanced, the ingredients fresh, and the taste is wonderful.

    2nd time here. Again, so delicious!! Give them a try. Great service. They do not skimp on shrimp in the biryani or tender morsels of lamb.

    This place is so consistent! Recently tried the Lamb Roganjosh and it was fabulous! Loads of flavor, lamb perfectly cooked & so much sauce to dip my garlic naan in *drool*. I order the Butter Chicken every time I order and it tastes exactly the same each time.. delicious!

    two bowls of food on a table

    Food Is a 10-10 except for the waiter kept on refilling my water when it was half full. He said "How is it" about 10 times. Also the bathroom was dirty and the soap felt weird after using it. I got the orange chick garlic nan and Something I can't pronounce. I Recommend coming here.

    Update: Please ask about their rice since so many people have told me about cow milk being in it. Not sure if they have addressed it. No one would even think to ask about that. Who puts milk in rice? === This new place was formerly East Wok, right beside Walmart in the same shopping center as Thaiwat. They have completely redone the interior, so the inside is now a real restaurant rather than a takeout place, though they do a TON of takeout. There is more vegan on the menu than the two other Indian places in town, hurray! I am surprised that they are so close to Laxmi's, but I think Berks County can support a few Indian restaurants. They are open daily with a lunch buffet. The large vegetarian menu is about one-third vegan, including some new dishes we had not seen before, like spinach and potatoes. Very friendly service. Not too many vegan appetizers, so I wish they would mark them and add more. We had the fried cauliflower, and it was delicious. We will get the grilled mushrooms next time. Since the pakoras are not vegan here, how are they made vegan at Laxmi's, hmmm? For some reason, I liked that the papadum were in little circles like chips, which is easier to eat. The green mint sauce here is made without yogurt, the owner said. This is the second or third location. Make sure to grab a menu for the coupons inside.

    That Hollandaise! I…read morerecently visited Wyomissing Restaurant and Bakery with two companions, and we had a wonderful experience! The atmosphere is a bit more upscale than your average diner--everything was impeccably clean, and the ambiance was very pleasant. My friends both opted for the "All You Can Eat Buffet," which I understand is what this place is famous for (especially on weekends!). Their plates were packed, and the fact that they both went back for seconds speaks for itself--they loved it. I went with the Norway Benedict, and I was honestly blown away. It featured two perfectly poached eggs and smoked salmon on English muffins with a very generous serving of Hollandaise sauce, accompanied by a side of home-fried potatoes. The presentation was beautiful, the taste was excellent, and I truly can't think of a single thing that would have improved the dish. Service Highlights: * Attentive Staff: Our server was great--present when we needed drink refills but never intrusive. * Efficiency: They were quick to clear empty plates rather than letting them sit on the table, which we really appreciated. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

    I gave this to five stars because the food was five stars. My boyfriend got the buffet and said…read morethat it was absolutely excellent. All the pastries are homemade even my toast tasted like they made it there which they probably did. The place could've been a little bit more updated, not the best ambience but if you want a good brunch, this is where to come! No four seater booths.

    We were on the way home from a softball tournament in PA and wanted to experience a Smorgasbord…read more We got lucky and Miller's Smorgasbord was on the way home! Ambience - I see that others described the decor as "vintage" and that would be an accurate description. The dining room and buffet stations are a little dimly lit. Food - this is the main reason people come here and it did not disappoint. There was a lot of variety and the food quality is generally 3.5 stars. Nothing really jumped out as outstanding, but everything was generally slightly above average in quality by buffet standards. The desserts are baked in house and was definitely the highlight of the meal. Note: be sure to take a souvenir tourist pic in the old car in the lobby.

The price honestly is way too high for what you get. It was $41 with a drink for lunch, not typically what I'll spend and in this case way overpriced. I did like the carving station with the ham. The peel and eat shrimp was good and the fried chicken was good, but not warm and very limited on selection of the pieces. The sides were OK maybe they just weren't my thing. The entryway is really cool. The server only brought drinks so not a lot of interaction there. I think it has potential, but for some reason, I did not get the full five star lunch. Not impressed.

    I came here on a Saturday afternoon with a party of 8. $39 per person with gratuity tacked on as…read morewell (assuming due to our large group) As a value proposition, this place is worth it especially if you're a shellfish lover. Lobsters and crabs were abundant. I learned about this place awhile ago from YouTube of which many gave praises. We frequented many mid level AYCE places like this and we've found that as time goes by, quality degrades with restaurants like this. Now there was a rather long length of time between discovering this place on YouTube and actually visiting this place. I wonder if the praises that were sung about this place were still valid. I would say yes. As previously mentioned, lobsters and crabs were abundant and makes it worth the trip on that alone. As for the other offerings, it was mostly surprisingly good. Don't expect Michelin quality food here. Generally, it's about the quantity BUT the food is pretty good. The sushi/sashimi shocked me a little. AYCE sushi is usually just passable but here, I thought it was pretty good. Everyone in my group loved the quality of the salmon. Other offerings, of which there were many, were pretty good. Standouts were the lamb chops in my opinion. Dessert options wasn't as extensive as the other AYCE places I've frequented but they do the job. Aside from the usual fountain soda options (serves by the restaurant staff) , they had a few fruit drinks and a milk tea option as well as some specialty drinks in a can. Scale 1 to 5. (Keep in mind that this is based on quality you'd expect from a typical AYCE restaurant. Food 5 (large selection of food and that shellfish!) Service 5 (Friendly staff and were pretty efficient in clearing the plates) Cleanliness 4 (Place was well kept. Deducted 1 star due to the stickiness of the floor around our table which reminded me of a movie theater floor... lol) Value 5 One con to point out. The restaurant was rather large yet the bathrooms were small and couldn't accommodate a lot of people at once. Not a huge quibble as the wait wasn't astronomical BUT it did seem odd that the size of the bathroom didn't match the size of the restaurant.

Their Dim Sum was my favorite, but I also enjoy their soft-shell crab, sushi, fresh fruit, and so much more! The service was delightful, we paid before we ate and did not feel rushed at all!

With over 200 feet of food, Shady Maple is an unforgettable experience. From the sweet treats to made-to-order meat stations, this is now my favorite buffet. The made-to-order meat stations feature cheesesteaks, burgers, sausages and steaks! All cooked to your liking, right in front of you, how cool! The buffet bars are stacked with salad bars, seafood, soups, sides, fried food, baked food, you name it! I truly enjoyed the range of options here. There's plentyyyyy to drink. Slushie machines, coffee, soda stations, tea/lemonade, fresh milk from their farms and milkshakes machines! The sweet treats are endless; pies, cakes, build-your-ice cream bowls and more! Customer service: Okay, not super friendly Prices: $33/person on a weekday. Plus free birthday meals! Plenty free parking Atmosphere: family-oriented Make sure you also check their gift shop on the lower level. I hope you enjoy!

    People hate on smorgasbords for all sorts of reasons. Yes its not 5 star Michelin food (its not…read moresupposed to be). BUT it has a VARIETY of food and gives you a taste of Lancaster County. If its your birthday you get a free meal when you go with someone purchasing. To be honest, compared to other Lancaster County Buffets, their price is the most reasonable! I actually prefer their breakfast Buffet, but we recently went for dinner. Tons of seating, we went on a Friday Dinner Rush and it only took us about 10 minutes to get seated. Just some of my top picks and highlights: Steaks made to order Milkshake station The dessert bar Icee machine Potato pie Brown Butter noodles Fried chicken Corn casserole And don't forget the PIE! If you are visiting, just do it and get a taste of Lancaster County! Two huge aisles of food with different items going each direction, check both! Every night has a special, seafood night, steak night, etc...pick your favorite!
