Everyone I've had the pleasure of interesting with at this establishment has been kind and helpful. A few of the food items I've tried have lacked slightly in flavor from time to time but when you throw some of their homemade hot sauce on there, it brings it all together. A side of chips and salsa with the burritos is also a fantastic touch.

My Mom spoke highly of this restaurant before our day trip to ME but my Mom wasn't impressed this…read moreday. Buffet style of chinese & american foods. We arrived around 4pm so they must of switched over from lunch to dinner. There were a lot of trays that had very little food in them, empty or dried out. I did get creeped out when I saw behind the waitress stands where the soda machines are along with other junk stored back there, it just looked so dirty & gross. I was disgusted and soooooo afraid of eating the food there & drinking from the cups. I was praying that I wouldn't get sick. Its funny because I kept this thought to myself & my friend that was also with us happened to say something to me about how the restaurant was dirty & then I shared my thoughts with her and she was hoping not to get sick either..........Well we did get lucky & neither of us got sick but I definitely wouldn't come back to eat in here. A few of the bowls had water in them & some particles after being washed which was gross. We went to get some ice cream & the water bin that the ice cream scoop was in was sooo disgusting I was afraid to get ice cream. My guess is it's just from the different flavors of ice cream mixed in with the water that is used to rinse off the ice cream?? Staff needs to change the water more often. Their chicken tenders were terrible & dried out. The only thing that tasted fresh was their donuts but that was only because I caught a new batch that had been brought out. The ladies room was dirty even the light socket (see my photo) like do they even have a cleaning crew?? I'm curious what kind of rating that they have from the food inspector?? We never got an itemized reciept, just one that said how much we owe & this drives me crazy as if restuarants are trying to hide charges when they don't give you an itemized one, which we know that it can be done. We were curious how much the buffet was & how much the drinks were so I had asked on my way out. I couldn't believe that this place was a little busy as if the customers in here were repeat ones because I was just so creeped out with the dirtiness of this restaurant & the presentation of the food. The sushi looked fresh but didn't taste very good. A lot of staff was standing around the bar, to bad they weren't keeping themselves busy by cleaning up the place. There was also a family of a Mom & Dad with two young boys. The youngest boy was walking all over the booth seat with his shoes on & climbing all over the table. They even let the older boy (probably 8yrs old) head up to the buffet by himself. It's just surprising how families can't behave when out in public & forget that they're not at home. Sorry, but I can't recommend eating at this place. Save your money & health and stay away.

This was my first visit to this only take out establishment in Lewiston Maine featuring northern…read moreIndian dishes. India is a huge country so there are many regional variations of dishes one may be accustomed to ordering in the US. My son is local and frequently orders from Mother India and raves about it. We called the restaurant to place our pick up order. We ordered Raita, samosas, lamb Keema Mutter, lamb curry, makhni chicken, garlic naan, and batura. The order was ready in 25 mins. Every dish was fantastic and flavorful and nothing was overly spicy. Wonderful melding of spices. All tasted fresh. The portions were generous and we had plenty for another meal. I have my own favorite Indian place where I live and Mother India was comporable in quality, taste, and value. I would not be hesitant to order from here again and recommend. Only on street parking.

I don't know if they stepped up their game, if last time I was here was an off day or if my man in the kitchen has anything to do with it. But this place lives in a while different place in my brain. Apps Asparogi Avvolti: Prosciutto wrapped asparagus with fontina cheese and balsamic glaze. Sweet young asparagus, wrapped in salty prosciutto with nutty fontina melted over the topped, drizzled with the perfect about if sweet glaze. Fried Calamari: calamari, fried cherry peppers, arugula, and cherry pepper aïoli. Fresh, breading was light and crispy. My only complaint here is there weren't enough tentacles, a lot of rings. I usually only eat tentacles because the rings are usually close cousins to rubber bands. That was not the case here, but I still wanted more tentacles. Either way very delicious. Main Brick Oven Brie Pizza!! Amazing, they crossed perfect, light chewy cooked through, not soggy in the middle. Everything you want out of pizza crust. I find myself constantly disappointed in the Lewiston Auburn area when it comes to pizza. There's one other place I go that's in Auburn, it's nice to know there is a second option if you want a pizza crust that doesn't taste and feel like cardboard. I will be back to try more things and let you know all about them.

Fresh and hot defined these apps perfectly! The sticks were warm and stringy, the pretzels were warm, soft, and salty. The cheese dip was actually delicious and tasted nothing like a can mix. For the main courses we had the home made mac and cheese that was topped with pulled pork which was sauced in Sweet Baby Rays and the Loaded Nachos topped with the Firehouse's award winning chili. The food all came out sized for a table of 8 with savory and sweet hints of deliciousness! The waitress was welcoming, outgoing, and offered sound advice on food choices. The cook staff was timely and efficient, and the bar tender was busy busy slinging cups full of the nectar of God (BEER!!)! The Firehouse House ambience lived up to the name with firefighter equipment, first responder memorabilia, and crafty decor. The only downside to this establishment is that is dark and throws a dive bar vibe. 9/10... we will be coming back here for sure (and ordering less food)!!

The food was what I was expecting and hoping for....rich, indulgent food, that met my savory and sweet cravings. We were greeted immediately upon walking through the door and were instructed to sit any where we wanted. We had plenty to choose from around 10:30am on Saturday, even on a holiday weekend. All of the open tables, were clean and ready for new patrons. The restaurant was about half full and appeared to be mostly regulars, as they were chatting with the staff and each other. I love local places that know the locals that well. Our drink orders were taken within a minute of sitting. The hot chocolate were rich and creamy even without whipped cream. I opted not to have it added. I ordered a blueberry muffin as my "appetizer". They offer it as is, or grilled. I love it grilled and it was good and not too filling. For our meals we ordered a table pancake (meaning, a pancake for sharing). It was fluffy and perfectly good - nice and hot. They have "syrup" and it reminded me of being a kid and having Log Cabin syrup. I didn't ask, but it didn't taste like pure maple syrup. I ordered the corned beef hash skillet with a grilled english muffin. It was perfectly cooked and it was delicious. It tasted like canned corned beef hash and I was not mad about it. I truly wanted comfort food and this hit. My friend had the S.O.S. (gravy with beef and pork) AKA Sh*t on a Shingle. It looked soooo good and she stated the biscuit and gravy and meat were good. We took our leftovers home, which will tell you, the portions were decent, the food was delicious and no delicious food would be left behind.
