We first started going to Sahib nearly 20 years ago! Prices did go up obviously but the food is still great. Delicious!

I think I got the Vegetarian Thandi it's almost like a sampler. I got sick and was on the toilet immediately after. I truly believe something was sour because it tasted sour. The white sauce just didn't taste good and the cheese cake balls that came with my dish was just...idk I can't explain it. Then it was the green stuff with Tofu steam was coming from it but it wasn't that hot like the steam was putting out. I will not be returning. My Boyfriend said there chicken Curry was " Just Ok " he likes Red Pepper chicken Curry more The best place in my opinion is red pepper in Bristol..I had a great experience and I wasn't on the toilet immediately after with diarrhea. I actually slept like a baby leaving Red Pepper. read more

Sahib - Bar area - Indian Near Me - Johnson City, Tennessee

I finally had the opportunity to visit Sahib. I'd been looking forward to it based on the reviews. I was craving Indian food and had the time, so went for lunch. Honestly the food was just OK. I got the buffet so I could try a few different things. First of all, there was plenty of steam coming from the buffet itself but nothing I got was hot. It was noon and moderately busy so I was quite surprised that nothing was hot. The tandoori chicken had a good taste. The chicken curry was mostly bones and cartilage. The chicken tikka masala was pretty mild but had a decent flavor. The naan was good but it was better by itself as the dips weren't great. The raita especially had a very weird taste and was pretty runny. I'm not saying that I wouldn't go back, but it definitely will not be a regular dining option for me. read more

Went to have buffet after a long hike and it hit the spot! Great sambals too! Chia tea was yum. You serve yourself at the buffet of course but the servers/owners come check on you regularly! read more

I love the vegetarian thali! It is enough for two meals (for me). Three dishes, yogurt, a desert, three sauces, naan, and a crispy cracker (not sure the name of it). The options are mild, medium, or hot and you have to specify or you will end up with my mild. Ive tried all three and my favorite is hot. If you get a chance, try the lunch buffet. additionally, there are tons of menu options, including a wide array of vegetarian Indian dishes, This is a great offering in Johnson City Tennessee. read more

They seemed to be just opening up after a break when I visited, as noted by some regulars who came in while I was waiting for my takeout. Seeing papadums and such granted to the visitors, I was beginning to wonder whether I should have eaten in despite the nice weather. However, I found my takeout bag contained all sorts of things, including a papadum and sauces, as well as rice with whole spices in it, and a lentil soup spiced with something along the lines of a ghost pepper. The option to order chole bhatura as an appetizer resulted in two small but fluffy fried breads and some fantastic chickpeas. For anyone who hasn't tried dipping a fried bread in a chickpea curry which has cinnamon and fruity notes, if that sounds a little strange your tastebuds will likely get on board with this flavor quickly. I added a stir fry of okra and onions; it was a bit heavy on okra stems, good to waste less I guess but I'm still not really a fan of those. Overall, however, this was some quality Indian food with a lot of effort put into it. read more

Ate here for the first time and it didn't disappoint! We got our food super fast and our waiter was always checking on us! The outside seating area also added a lot to the experience. Overall great place! read more

The food is delicious. Probably the best Indian food I've ever had. We picked up to go but the restaurant is very inviting. The staff were very friendly. I recommend the samosas and vegetable pakora. The Jalfrezi was so good and rich. Everything was excellent. We will definitely be back. read more

Excellent lunch buffet. A wide selection of quality food. I enjoy the chicken tandoori & chili chicken.

Sahib has always been one of my favorite places to dine in the Tri-Cities. I visited yesterday to celebrate my birthday. The experience was wonderful! The service was quick and the staff were very attentive, even asking my name and the proper spelling to add to my birthday dessert. The food was delicious as always. We also had the Curry Mojitos which were fantastic. I love everything about Sahib! If you haven't tried it, this is your sign to! read more

Some of the best food in Johnson City. Love the buffet that allows one to sample dishes they may not be familiar with. Love the vegan options.

Their food was so delicious, I got paneer and didn't care that I was lactose intolerant. The people there are also really friendly, I would absolutely recommend trying them out (and becoming a return customer)! read more

I had lunch there today, I wasnt really sure what Indian food consisted of, it was good, not much of a selection compared to other buffets I have been to and I thought the price was excessive. The lunch buffet was $16.99 each, the total for 2 with iced teas was $42.68. I know prices on most everything has gone up recently that was excessive in my opinion for what you got. read more

I drove up to Sahib on 11/05 (election day) from Gastonia, NC. I have been wanting to try this place out for a couple years. They have around 18 items on the buffet so lots of choices. The food is beautiful and tastes good. Incredible? No. Good. Yes. All said it was surprisingly mild. My understanding is that they rotate items daily. I called a day or 2 before going and asked what was on the buffet. The place was packed at 12:30pm. That should tell you something. I enjoyed the meal but was a little bummed that there was no butter chicken or samosas on the lunch buffet the day I went. No biggie. All of the employees were pleasant and helpful. The restaurant is fine inside and a bit odd bc of add ons to the original building. Prices are very reasonable-$13.99 lunch buffet on weekdays. I think it's $2 more on weekends. You should try it. read more

Found this place looking at reviews and craving something different from usual Southern fare. Very good Indian food eatery owned by local Indian family in Johnson City. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area. Service was great and helpful. Prunes are reasonable. Naan Bread Basket is good with choice of 3 different flavored naan breads. Captions with question marks only reflect my lack of clarity of the name of the dish. read more

Had the buffet and within 15 min of leaving I started vomiting multiple times. Sadly I think I'm sworn off Indian food and def not going back. Floors were very slippery and almost fell just trying to walk to the bathroom. read more

The food was flavorless (bland), dry, and tasted old. Like they were not made of premium ingredients. I have ate there twice, and it wasn't worth the spending. Service is okay. Tables are clean and the bars. read more

This restaurant is a shining star in our city. From the minute you walk in the door, you are greeted with a smile, offered something to drink and the food choices are plenty. The buffet has something for everyone. I had the chicken tandoori and my husband had the goat. Be prepared for large portions which left us with yummy leftovers to take home. Peter and Rocky were so friendly and helped guide us through the menu. They even gave us a sample of their amazing rice pudding and mango pudding to try. We'll be back for sure and we are looking forward to the buffet next time. read more

Awesome food and a super friendly staff. Really enjoyed our time there. The portion sizes are very large. Drinks menu is extensive. We sat in the middle of the dining area and it was still very quiet and easy to talk. Had an amazing time. Will be back read more

The food was excellent, and the best 'Indian' I've had in ages. The roasted chicken, the Palak Paneer, the Kheer; each one top tier. I travel regularly and am in Johnson City for a visit. St. Louis, India and Lexington, KY have great family meals. However, this was, without a doubt, the best service I've had in a restaurant in ages! Rocky understood exactly what I needed and surpassed my expectations! read more

My mom and I came here for lunch, and were very impressed. The staff were friendly, seated us immediately, and the buffet selection was delicious. We particularly enjoyed the saag paneer.
