The dishes seem to be authentic and you can taste every bit of seasoning including cardamom, which is a signature flavor and aroma of a good curry. The gravy is thick and on both visits the texture was consistent. I was very impressed with the goat curry. I wanted to try the Kadai Goat, however it was not available on my visit. The food seems to be prepared to order as on both of my visits the host advised of a 30 mins wait to which they used every minute of it. The samosas were delicious and so was the Chicken Lollipop. The takeout quality seems to be as good as the dine-in. Overall, a very good experience and I will visit again when in the Frederick area.

I've been to a LOT of these buffets and there are certain things that just must be done. The chutney/condiments shouldn't come first, they should Come at the end or at least after the apps. If You are serving various types of Indian food (North Indian/South Indian/indo-chinese), group them together. This was a total mish-mash with no coherence (curd rice doesn't go next to gulab jamun, no point in serving sambhar if there's no idli, no uttapam, no dosa to go with it). The burners weren't keeping any of the food warm enough. A non-paneer sabzi is necessary and standard but somehow, nowhere to be found. The floors should NOT be sticky. Ever. But especially 20 minutes after opening. Now moving on the food itself: Hits: - peanut chutney: glorious, delicious, wish I had actual idli or uttapam to eat it with but the fluffy and soft mysore bonda was fine too - curd rice: lovely classic flavor and texture, hit the comfort food spot - Chai: hot, flavorful from the chai masala, and again very comforting - Lassi: right combo of tangy and sweet without being milkshake-like thick Gobi Manchurian: good as a dry app, right amount of breading for the cauliflower. Misses: - veg dum biryani: I know veg biryani is hard to pull off without it turning into veg pulao but it was obvious that they just sprinkled a box of biryani masala without actually taking the time to put real flavor into the dish - sambhar: almost cold, and clearly pre-made with store bought mix and almost no veggies when we got there (again, 20-30 min after opening) - Hakka noodles: adding black pepper doesn't make it Hakka noodles. Flavor was just so sub-par. Paneer butter masala: salty but not flavorful. Just...blah. - gulab jamun: almost certainly just store bought from a can - masala idli: really, really could be crisp. This was spongy idli texture which is great for...regular idly. Masala idly should have some crunch. Also not warm enough. Totally off putting to the point that I couldn't finish. I can overlook service issues in a buffet if the food is good. I can overlook issues with food if the service is great and issues easily rectified. The thing is, there were multiple servers at the ready but they couldn't get it together enough to provide a bowl for sambhar (what are we supposed to eat it in?!?!), we had to ask for serving spoons and tongs more than once and didn't get water until the tail end of the meal. This place just isn't worth the almost $20 they want per person for a buffet. Save your money and irritation.

I got paneer biryani which was so good and my friend got mushroom masala which she loved. We also branched out and got the vegetable pakora as an appetizer and we both loved them! They had just the right amount of heat. In terms of spice level, they have no spice, mild, and not. Usually I get medium at Indian places and mild was good but not super spicy. My friend who usually gets mild said it was a little too spicy for her.

They offer Indian with a bit of Indo-Chinese cuisine, but I stuck with straight Indian on this occasion. Upon opening my takeout bag, I was greeted by a fully flavored channa masala, a mouthwatering naan with grated chili, and a heck of a lot of flash-fried spinach. It was plenty of food for the money, interesting, and delicious. A little on the salty side, and frankly the spinach wore on me by the end and it would have been better shared or saved for longer than I had. The menu wasn't hugely broad, but they got the basics right.

Excellent food!! Don't sleep on this place!! I will be ordering from here again. The concept of…read moreIndo-Chinese cuisine was new to me and it did not disappoint. The samosas were crispy and full with filling and the sauces were delicious. The coconut curry was fantastic, but I didn't realize it came with a side of rice, so I ordered another side of rice. The description of the entree could've been clearer in that sense. The crispy garlic cauliflower wasn't exactly crispy, but it was delicious and might've been due to the delivery time. The rosemary garlic naan was incredible. I wouldn't order from here again without ordering the naan! I ordered delivery with Grubhub and it was very fast. I'm unsure about the vibes at the actual restaurant, but I'm sincerely doubting it's a sit down establishment based on other reviews and knowing the small strip mall set up where it's located.

Came back for a second time at this location after trying their other location just north of Olney…read more We like this place. Newer, cleaner, and I like the layout of the buffet. We both agree that in terms of Indian buffet in the Maryland area, this one is the best that we have tried. I especially love their detail on which dishes are vegetarian, gluten free, or vegan. As someone who was vegetarian for more than a decade, I like it when restaurants take the effort. We definitely will keep coming back. It is a bit far from us and requires us to drive up a bit further, but we find it to be worth it. The staff here are attentive and fast and they go around like clockwork. I do not feel pressured at all to rush and I just like coming here to relax, stuff my face, and walk around.

The hara bhara appetizer was a large portion and came with chana masala. The malai kofta was fresh, tasty, hot, and a good portion for the price. The paneer makhani was also a great dish with a delicious creamy sauce and also hot and fresh. Each came with a bowl of white basmati rice. We asked for spicy and medium spicy but both were fairly UN-spicy. They told me they don't have chicken tikka masala as white meat, which is how it's supposed to be prepared, and it's only available bone-in. All of their chicken dishes are dark meat, which is not the Indian way, but they're likely catering to non-South Asians who prefer thigh or leg. The service was intermittent, and our main server disappeared and never came back after taking our order. They took some time refilling water glasses or even checking in on our needs so some improvement could be had. Restaurant clientele was about 10% South Asian, 90% not. The ambiance was pleasant. Payment system is via Toast. There is patio dining.

We started with both cocktails and mocktails, which were a great way to kick off the meal. For appetizers, we ordered the samosas and the Lasoni Gobi (stir-fried cauliflower).

They were beautifully presented in adorable little pots and tasted just as good as they looked. You also can't go wrong with the garlic naan--it was the perfect addition to the meal. To finish, we shared the tres leches cake, and it was amazing--the perfect sweet ending. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I would love to return to try even more items on the menu.

They did not offer a separate lunch menu, so I ordered a couple of things and took leftovers. Their special on manchow soup might lead one to wonder if there is such a thing as too many crispy noodles, to which my answer is no. Drowning them in the garlicky soup made for engaging eating, and on a cold day I was glad for a warm soup. This restaurant offers a dish of paneer which is toasted and placed atop of a rich sauce; I've seen versions of this dish at other modern Indian restaurants and while I don't eat a ton of paneer, this one was a winner. They had some vegan options but I could have hoped for more. A paratha was wildly flaky. They asked if I wanted drinks without having shown me a drink menu. I got plenty of food to satisfy myself.
