I will definitely be back. The food was very good and made quickly. The staff were also very…read morefriendly.

I haven't been out to the Tahoe Truckee Industrial park in awhile, like years, and I was surprised…read moreto see there was an Indian restaurant here now. There used to be hardly anyplace to eat except fast food, like Burger King! Roots, is located right after the first truck stop after you get off the freeway, just turn right and you're there. I thought I'd check it out and I saw there was a lunch buffet offered all weekdays from 10 an till 2 pm for $20 per person. I know a buffet is a way to please the whole crew. We've been to many other Indian Buffets before and I know my guys really love Tandoori Chicken and naan. So I went in to check it out and holy moly, this was the most dinky Indian buffet I ever saw! The steam table was like 1/3 the size of most buffets I've been to, but if they have what we like, it might still work out, cause there's a lot on an Indian buffet I just don't eat ... OK, some of the things in those tubs are just a little too weird for me. Some of the tubs weren't even filled yet. But the deal breaker here was there was NO Tandoori Chicken! I never heard of an Indian Buffet that didn't have the most common dish, Tandoori Chicken! I asked and they said no Tandoori Chicken! There's no way I can take my crew here, we'll have to find some other place to eat. I had high hopes, but this Indian place ain't gonna work out for us especially at $25 per person including tax and a little tip, this buffet isn't worth that. There's pizza, Chinese and Mexican just up the street.

My kids came with this time and enjoyed the pineapple shrimp curry and the mango curry (I forget…read morethe unique name of the mango dish but on the menu it had a crown icon and was not the mango one with the basil)-- both entrees were ordered in mild. These flavors were completely new to me, I've never had curries from an Indian restaurant that tasted like these. The pineapple curry was sweet but a little tangy and reminded me a bit of Thai curry (perhaps turmeric was really elevated in this curry?). The mango curry was also very sweet, it almost tasted like a sweetened butter chicken curry (specifically the northern Indian version of butter chicken-- if you know, you know). My son said the sweet flavor of the mango chicken curry reminded him of orange chicken from Chinese takeout and funny enough I thought it actually kinda did too! While these dishes were a hit with the kids (ages 7, 5, and 2) most adult tastebuds would prefer ordering them with at least some spice to balance out the intense sweetness (otherwise it can just seem "1 note"-- but 1 note "mild" was absolutely perfect for our young children who find even ground black pepper to be "spicy" haha). Maharaja Royal Bites, you just keep impressing me! I'm super happy we found these kid friendly options in your menu. Oh, ps, the kids LOVED their fried chicken appetizer too! Yelpers, ahelpful tip, we've noticed that here a "mild" spicy level can vary based on the dish. Sometimes it means literally no spice (like in the kid-friendly pineapple shrimp and mango curry) and other times we have found that it meant "yes, there is spice, and it's certainly more noticeable than black-- or even white ground-- pepper).

Maharaja made for a wonderful Mother's Day treat for Fritzie…read more First and foremost the food is great. There's no complaints there, but they didn't have Bhindi Ali, their Okra dish, it saddened me some. The rest of the meal I hoped would make up for it. We enjoyed their sampler (assorted snacks) which were an assortment of meat samosa, veggie samosa, chicken pakora, veggie pakoras and Aloo tikki. Delicious yet sizable bites to get you going. Their Lamb Curry, wonderfully made, tender. The sauce it was made with was delicious, the protein itself was gamy as to be expected, but day two after taking some home and eating it, not as much. Their Saag Paneer is what you would expect from most Indian restaurants, served piping hot, good cubes of cheese for texture and added flavor. Their Chicken Tikka masala was delicious, creamy, flavorful along with their garlic naan and of course we had to get Mango Lassis to drink. These are go to's in my opinion to determine your experience. They have to get these right and they didn't disappoint. The service was good, our waiters and hosts were kind and accommodating, I even got a little bit of history behind some of their wall art, the ambience was average, plenty of patrons holding conversations, enjoying meals, the music wasn't too loud from what I can recall, but it definitely carried the average volume. All in all, a wonderful visit. I recommend you try it for yourself.

The food is always delicious. We've been multiple times over the years and it never disappoints.read more

This is by far one of the worst Indian buffets I've ever been to…read more 1.) Options are limited somewhat. Two carts worth of food whereas others have three to four carts. 2.) No soup and salads are very limited and basic. 3.) Chicken Tikka Masala was very sweet but lacked any savoriness. I couldn't distinguish spices beyond the sweet taste. The sauce was so red that there is no way to make it that red with little to no distinguishable tomato base flavor that I can only deduce that they used a ketchup base and red dye. Ketchup because I swear I can taste a hint of ketchup under the sweet flavor. 3.) Goat curry was ok at first. It still lacked flavors that are the hallmark of Indian cuisine. However, they brought a new batch out and this batch was too salty. It overpowered any little flavoring that was there before. The meat wasn't as tender and you can tell the brine was overly salty because the goat meat was salty. 4.) The veggies were a complete miss for me. Again, no flavor other than sourness that is the yogurt. 5.) Chicken curry was mush. And the flavor was assaulting my senses that I found it weirdly... stale like a damp wash cloth left overnight. 6.) Naan was decent actually. Not as garlicky or buttery as some other places but it was fresh and crunch and fluffy. Too bad nothing was available to eat it with. Maybe it's off today or something but I can't forgive the $21.00 price tag. If it was $17 or less then I wouldn't bother with a review but after a 15% tip it was almost $25 I think.

A great stop in incline village if you're looking for a filling Indian meal. Thr service is quick…read moreand the restaurant is spacious. We ordered papdi chaat from apps which was yum, a bit spicy but the taste was great. Next we did three entrees - Dal makhani which was more like home cooked dal with big pieces of onion and tomato - flavorful but not like traditional well-cooked dal makhani Kadai paneer - great flavor, the spices were well balanced and paneer had good texture and was soft Malai Kofta was probably my favorite - the gravy was delicious but I wish they put more koftas (there were only 4) The onion kulcha and garlics naan each had 4 small pieces so it was pretty filling for 4 people as we were also served rice with one of the entrees. Both breads were delicious and thin/crispy

After a long morning of hiking around Tahoe during the chilly, fall weather, it was time to warm up…read morein Incline Village with some hearty Indian food. We arrived for a late lunch around 13:00 and there weren't a lot of people dining inside. While that might raise some red flags in big cities, we took a chance and really came out full and satisfied with an awesome meal. We ordered a couple of large plates to share family style amongst the group and everything was delicious. Everything we ordered was incredibly tasty and filling from their Baighnan Bharta to their Yellow Daal. Bowls were easy to pass around and everyone got to try a little bit of everything until they found their perfect amount. They were also kind enough to separate the tandoori roti for me as well since I don't consume dairy (aka, no naan). Service was great given we were the only party and we were absolutely fine with that attention. Thanks Mehfil for a great late lunch for our group.
