Really enjoyed PIND last night. From service to the food it was excellent. My Lamb vin d' ahlo was rich and super spicy just like I wanted it. They have some really good mixed spicy achar as well. Great meal! read more

I went a month ago, so I dont remember exactly what I had; however, I do remember that it was a delicious buffet. Good variety of choices, but not overwhelming. Everything was so good that I went back for seconds. A minimal amount of naan is brought to the table - which I like so as not to waste food. Chai is part of the buffet. No gulab jamun for dessert, but there were other tasty choices. Our server was attentive and the bathrooms were clean. As an out-of-towner, the parking situation was confusing. The lot next to the restaurant has paid parking, and sometimes you can park on the bridge for free. read more

Best Indian food in GR! They have an extensive menu and easy/fast takeout. Highly recommend!

A long time friend from India who calls the Grand Rapids area home took me and a friend to this downtown Indian restaurant, his favorite Indian spot in Grand Rapids. The dining room is big and the service is friendly and efficient. The menu has many options. My party of three ordered the tikka masala, saag chicken, and paneer with garlic and butter naan to share. It came with rice and was filling. My friend loved his mango lassi and I the chai. read more

Went here with my friends over the summer. The food is delicious but a little bit more expensive than some other Indian food places in Kent county. It feels more upscale because it is in a busy area. read more

Overall: 7/10 Food: 8/10 Service:7/10 Atmosphere: 7/10 Value: 7/10 Great Indian food for the location. Eat we've ever had? No, but very respectable overall. The service was a little sparse but not terrible. This place gets highly rated and I believe that comes from people's different experiences with Indian food. It's not right or wrong, just a potential explanation of why it's so highly rated. read more

Waited over a hour and I finally called driver to no answer. So I called the restaurant to see if they had my order and with the problem was and he said the food has been ready, but no driver has picked it up with no solution telling me to call DoorDash, which I did, and I received credit for it. The owner was very blunt and didn't care if I received my food or not bad. Customer Service will not even give it to try.I'm read more

Loved the lunch buffet! Great selection of dishes to try if you're new to Indian food. Decent price as well at $16/person. Restaurant was clean and modern. Would definitely go back! read more

Pind Indian Cuisine - Lunch buffet with several different dishes - Indian Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I decided to stop in for lunch while waiting for a flight out of Grand Rapids. I just happened to stumble upon this place and I'm glad I did. Lunch was served buffet style and they bring fresh naan to the table. They had a wide variety of food, including vegetarian options, which were also delicious. The staff was extremely attentive and you really can't ask for more. read more

we had such a nice valentine's day dinner at Pind. each table had a valentine's day balloon attached and i thought it was a super cute and thoughtful touch. it was very busy but we were seated immediately. i was prepared to be patient for this meal. with how busy it was though, the wait was not too bad. we were able to order quickly. we were given a complimentary appetizer - i believe it was papadam, which is crispy and cracker like. our vegetable samosas came out fairly fast and they were delicious and packed with potato. our entrees took a little longer but that was expected. i was impressed how they handled the valentine's day dinner rush. they had a large vegetarian menu to choose from. we ordered vegetable biryani, baingan bhartha, regular naan, and garlic naan. my go to dish is biryani so i've had quite a few variations in my life - this one wasn't my favorite but it was still good. i loved the texture of the eggplant in the baingan bhartha. it did need a little salt though. the naan was delicious as well. we ended the night with gulab jamun which is my favorite indian dessert. it was warm and perfectly syrupy. we had such a great time and lots of leftovers. read more

Joel: Negatives: The chicken tikka masala was pretty bland. Positives: we had good service. He was prompt and refilled our bread baskets. Yeah, give it a pro for the desert-it was warm and perfectly round! Julia: I really appreciate the option to have a buffet to try multiple things without having to commit to one dish. I even liked the chicken tikka masala! No complaints, but didn't blow my mind in any regard. The little dessert thing I would recommend. Meredith: The variety of the buffet was good and service was kind-they checked in, but not too much! Katie: I loved the buffet option here. It gave me an opportunity to try multiple things, the creamy chicken was delicious! The naan was plentiful and delightful. The tea was hot and had a great creamy tea taste. read more

I'm writing this about 10 minutes into my meal here for the lunch buffet on a lovely Sunday afternoon. The service is astounding, everyone is incredibly friendly and attentive. Although there aren't rows and rows of food bars like you would find at some other buffets, the food that is there is clearly made with love. The ambience is lovely, everyone having quiet conversations and being respectful. There was some music playing but it wasn't loud at all, I could still speak quietly while conversing with my partner. I cannot stress enough how delicious the food is. Going up for my second plate of their Chicken Tikka Masala now, highly recommend supporting this place! read more

Came back here for dinner and I was so impressed! We both ordered paneer dishes and they were both so good. The garlic naan was some of the best I've had in GR. Above all, the service was incredible! Some of the friendliest, most attentive servers I've ever had. We will definitely be back! Note: They are not able to validate parking in the adjacent lot anymore, but there is plenty of street parking along the bridge. read more

This place is alright! This is the first and only Indian restaurant I've tried in Grand Rapids thus far. I went in for the lunch buffet. The naan they provide is good! It was a bit weird how it came out with some slightly burnt, but nevertheless, it was still good. The options they have for buffet were quite plentiful - from butter chicken to Chicken Tikka Masala. I would say some of the options were a bit on the salty side. Mind you, I've had pretty amazing Indian buffets in the past, so I can't help but compare this place to others I've eaten at. I did wish the meat dishes were more tender - the chicken dishes were not the softest. The ambience was nice - I like how the windows are large so during the day you get a lot of natural light which makes the place feel bright and lively. Service was great! They have a parking lot. You will collect a ticket when you enter in, but you can get it validated when you leave. read more

Walked in and were greeted immediately by the hostess. We were sat and our waiter gave us some recommendations off the menu. Our food was brought to the table in a super timely manner and it tasted...GREAT. You can smell the delicious from the sidewalk so we finally stopped in and boy am I glad! There were only a few other tables full so the service was great and we had a good view of the sidewalk. They recommended we come back on a buffet night so we can try more dishes! read more

Pind is the very best option for Indian food in Grand Rapids. Staff is fantastic and the food is on point.

Food bad. SERVICE bad. Ambience, totally lacking. We will never go back and do not recommend. read more

I've never had Indian food before, and my partner and I ordered Korma. It was one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted!

Some of the best Indian food in Grand Rapids! They have a full menu and a buffet. The buffet was only $16 and allowed us to try a little of everything, and everything was delicious!! Service was incredible. Waters were constantly being refilled so you'll never go thirsty here. Since we did the buffet, we were in and out in about 35 minutes. Parking is along the bridge and on weekends it's free. read more

Pind restaurant is amazing. The cozy atmosphere feels like back home. The service by staff is well organized and always follows up to make sure your experience is met. The food is always good especially the garlic naan. As for pricing it's neutral and not overly expensive. I would recommend this restaurant to all wanting to have indian food read more

You can never go wrong eating at Pind. The food is excellent and a nice change of pace from the normal American cuisine options around downtown. The staff is always super friendly also. There is some major construction on the roads by the restaurant, so it's super annoying to get there and park. Best way is coming in on Fulton St from the west side, over the bridge. They also supposedly have a lunch buffet that I really want to try sometime, but usually I've been getting takeout lately and it's always ready on time! read more

We came in for a quickish dinner before walking over to an event at DeVos Performance Hall, so we truly appreciated the intentional, yet not rushed, very polite service. We shared the tandoori sampler (assortment of lamb kebab, chicken tikka, and mint chicken kebab), the chicken jhalfrazie (chicken juliennes stir-fried with fresh vegetables in a zesty glaze and ginger), and an order of naan. Both dishes were excellent - as was the naan! Despite the sampler being an appetizer, the portion size was very generous and we happily ended up with leftovers of both dishes (and we have big appetites)! The fact that they offered Perrin Black was icing on the cake for my husband. We frequent other Indian restaurants in the GR area because we're fortunate to have so many good ones from which to choose. This was our first visit to Pind Indian Cuisine and we will undoubtedly return with a larger group so we can try more dishes! read more

This place is great! Located downtown near the blue bridge, we came for the $15 Friday lunch buffet with our 4 year old daughter. She enjoyed the naan while I absolutely adored the addition of a chai tea station, multiple homemade sauces, salad, rice, briyani, tandoori chicken, fried pakoras and many delicious and different curries to choose from. Some classics like korma and tikka masala were present along with some I've never tried before. The Chana was great as well as the daal. Very pleased with the service. They gave my daughter French fries and my hubby commented they were the best fries he has had all year. Would def like to come back, soon! Nice inviting space, great service and delicious food at a reasonable price. read more

Pind is usually my go-to suggestion when anyone asks me for a great Indian restaurant in town. Nate and I ordered some delivery on a recent lazy Sunday afternoon - we got our usual dishes: butter chicken, mattar paneer, and garlic naan. The food was all fresh and hot when it arrived, and it was packaged well for the trip. The flavors were incredible as always - the butter chicken is so rich and flavorful. It was a bit spicier than last time, but I didn't specify any spice level when ordering. If you're sensitive to spice let them know you want it mild. The rice was a little clumpy but it wasn't overcooked. Unfortunately I have to change my review to four stars this time, as I encountered at least four very sharp shards of bone in my butter chicken as I ate, as well as several inedible chunks of tough cartilage. I was pretty disappointed as the bones could definitely have injured me or potentially caused a choking hazard. The food itself was delicious, I just can't overlook this and I know others would have a hard time doing so as well. I'll still recommend Pind and continue to order from them, but I'll let people know to be very careful when eating their chicken dishes. I may stick with vegetarian dishes from Pind going forward. read more

Loved the food! Very authentic visiting from the bayarea, loved the food! Very original flavors and friendly service and nice ambiance

Last weekend on our way to the Tulip Festival in Holland, MI., we wanted to feed ourselves before we went into the crowd and enjoy the parade. Right around lunch time we were going to pass through Grand Rapids and we were suggested to try out Pind by a friend for their Lunch Buffet. We walked into a very nice place which had a lovely ambience and vibe. We got a table as soon as we walked in and decided to go for the Buffet. Some of the items they had were - tandoori chicken, paneer curry, rajma, egg curry, naan, pakodas, biryani, white rice , salad, mango mouse and rose milkshake. All the food was good. The only reason for the 4 stars would be - that my taste buds are tuned into some high spice food from Metro Detroit. (Not hot) I would definitely recommend anyone in Grand Rapids to try this place, I would definitely want to visit them again for a chance to sit outside on their deck seating. I wish there was a nice Indian food place to sit like this in Detroit. read more

Great service and ambiance Good value for authentic Indian cuisine Conveniently located with a handy parking lot, adjoining the restaurant. Only disappointments ( though not deal breakers) The chicken in the Tandoori Chicken appetizer was slightly undercooked. And the rice pudding portion was very tiny, as well as unappetizing - the flavor of rice pudding is generally straightforward and I can't even describe the "off" taste of this one. Overall, we had a good experience and will most likely return to dine again. read more

We were excited to try Pind. We walked in around 1:30 for their lunch buffet. After taking a look around we walked right out and didn't eat there. It was clear the food had been sitting out for a while. It was not refilled with many options being empty or close to empty. The status of the buffet turned us off so much from even wanting to try something off the normal menu. While we were trying to decide what to do, we were asked by waitstaff an absurd amount of times if we were ready to order. Not a great experience. read more

We arrived at 9:16 pm and were told that they were closed.... despite many people in the restaurant seated. It first they said they stopped seating at 9:30... and when I said it is 9:16... they still said the kitchen was closed. Change your hours that are listed. We walked a good distance to your restaurant based on your reviews... but your rudeness was uncalled for. 0 stars read more

My family and I decided to order Pind for takeout recently. We ordered; Butter Chicken - Medium, Chicken Tikka Masala - Mild, Achari Chicken Ka Korma - Medium. 2 order of plain naan, 1 order garlic naan. Came out to $75. Butter Chicken. This has been my got to order at Indian restaurants the past few years. Sadly this was one of the worst Butter Chicken I had tried, very tomatoe-y and sweet, little to no creaminess or heat, chicken was very under seasoned. The dish had no cohesion. Chicken Tikka Masala. This was the best dish we got, but that's not saying much. For being mild spiced it easily had the most flavor of the 3. Achari Chicken Ka Korma. This dish came recommended by the employee over the phone. It was suppose to be a spicier dish and like the butter chicken I was not getting much in terms of spice. The Chicken, again was very under seasoned. Naan was a let down, fairly tough and thin. Which is disappointing because I was sitting down eating within 10 minutes of the food being done and handed to me. If I were to try Pind again I would probably only do so going in and eating and hoping my experience be better. read more

A friend and I tried the lunch buffet... good selection, great flavor. My favorite was the Matar Malai Methi, the egg biryani and, of course, the basket of super soft naan at the table. The tandoori chicken and vegetable pakora were pretty dried out... although Indian cuisine is new to me so maybe it's supposed to be that way. Also, despite not being busy, several spots in the buffet were empty every time we went up, really limiting what we could try. I would still definitely go back, though. The staff was very sweet, the restaurant is clean and inviting, and there are so many more Indian dishes I'd like to try! read more

I had never had India food before but decided to try it. I ordered the mild butter chicken and it was amazing

Upscale downtown Indo-Pak restaurant with a couple of South Indian dishes. Butter chicken, goat kaddai, dal, garlic nan, mixed tandoor grill, good combination, well executed. I little more expensive than the usual Indian restaurant, but also much nicer. Great desserts, I loved my galub jamun, good chai, and lassis. Across from Van Andel Arena. read more

Service was really fast, and the food came out fast. I asked for American spicy and it was still spicy enough for me, but got some raita (yogurt) and that helped. Not pictures was the Baingan Bhartha (eggplant) which was good, it was medium spicy. Topped it off with Chai, when chai is being made fresh and you have to wait ten minutes, you know you are getting the authentic chai. It did not disappoint. read more
