Decent place in John's creek for Indian food. Sankranti is massive with lots of space for hosting events. We came on Friday night and there were 2 events in their reception/ballrooms while we sat in the fine dining restaurant area which is pretty small. We started with some apps and then got naan and a goat pulav to share for the entree. The apps were my favorite for the night, especially the tangdi kebabs. The naan was pretty good too, and I thought the goat pulav was just fine. If I come back it'll definitely just be a meal of appetizers. Overall, the food was good and prices were reasonable, but service was a little slow. Probably won't be back just because of the drive, but was nice to try it out! read more

Sankranti Restaurant - Interior - Indian Near Me - Johns Creek, Georgia

My family & I enjoyed our lavish dinner last Saturday. The building is large and is divided into a few event halls/rooms and a main dining. That night there were at least 2 other events happening this making the parking lot full and we had to park across the street. The main dining room is fully decorated with Indian decors. The place was bustling. Every table was occupied and I saw several large parties (10+). We were quickly seated, handed menus, and poured water. They don't have enough waiters to speedily serve all customers. We waited quite a while to get our orders taken and then some more to get our food served. When we ran out of water, it was a while until we can flag a server to refill our glasses. Food wise, they serves good dishes with flavors. I like my curry spicy...theirs is just mild. The spices & flavors are there and the lamb is moist & succulent but I'd prefer it a few notches spicy . My DH really enjoyed the grilled snapper with coconut flavored rice. Price is also reasonable considering this is a "higher end" Indian establishment (due to its decor and spice quality). read more

Came here for Valentine's Day! Such a cute fancy Indian restaurant located OTP Atlanta- in Johns Creek. The restaurant has Indian seat and work. The location is a bit hidden from the main road, but that's what makes it a private dining experience. They had a 4 page paper print out of the Valentine's Day menu, which seemed the prices were raised by $2-$3 more compared to normal days (bc it was Valentine's Day). The food is great! We ordered everything Medium, and it wasn't too spicy! Definitely try the Paneer Nest, that was a unique dish I've never had anywhere else. The drinks are ok, they water down quickly. Overall it's a good spot for a date night or dinner with family. There's not that many fancy Indian restaurants outside of Atlanta, so I'm glad there is this one on the north side. read more

I just wanted to update my original review to say I've now been back to Sankranti for lunch three times and love it more and more each time. The CHICKEN BIRYANI and GOAT CURRY have become my favorite staples. However, items on the daily buffet change, so I have discovered TWO new favorites: The FISH PULUSU (5+ stars) over their shrimp fried rice was DIVINE!!! I didn't know I needed this in my life until today and now I'm not sure if I can live without it! Also on my can't live without list is the dessert called GULAB JAMUN (5+ stars). It is made mainly from milk solids, traditionally from khoya, which is milk reduced to the consistency of a soft dough, fried, then soaked with an aromatic syrup spiced with green cardamom, rose water, saffron, and served warm. It is TRULY DELICIOUS, but very sweet. I found that the rice kheer helps cut the sweetness when eaten together and the fryums (colorful puffs) help reset your tongue with their saltiness. The fruit custard is also tasty! All of these items together made my latest visit a delight! One other item I must mention is the PONGAL. It's a simple porridge type rice dish, but it goes so well with any of the entrées and also helps reset my palate from all the flavors of the other dishes. ENJOY! - - - - - LUNCH BUFFET REVIEW Sankranti was the location of the latest Yelp Elite Event I attended almost a month ago to the date. We were allowed one entrée and one drink. I chose the Goat Pulav and found myself rather disappointed with both it and service. I said as much in my review. However, after discovering they have both breakfast AND lunch buffets, I made myself a promise to return. The lunch buffet ($14.95) was actually less in price than the menu prices of most dinner entrées. So I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to get a better sampling of the menu since most items were completely unfamiliar to my tongue. [ THE FOOD ] Most yelpers who attended the event raved about the Chicken Biryani, so I was very pleased to see it available on the buffet. I started slow with a tiny sampling of almost everything and after determining what I most liked, went back for seconds and even thirds. Not being much of a spicy food eater I was EXTREMELY pleased the food was very mild and spiced in a way I could handle, allowing me to enjoy the flavor of each dish. Everything was acceptable, but some items were exceptional. Those items were: * CHICKEN BIRYANI | 4.5 stars As flavorful as advertised. My cultural instincts would have preferred a tad more salt, but the aromatic biryani spice mix combined with the tenderness of the chicken and moistness of the rice was perfection. I enjoyed the chicken legs the most. * PANEER TIKKA MASALA | 5 stars I must admit I had absolutely no idea what I was eating at the time, but I know now paneer means cheese. What I DID know is I loved the flavor of the gravy! Rather sweet actually and helped calm my tongue from some of the other spices of other dishes. I hear tikka masala is traditionally a spicy gravy, but this one was not. Actually, most of the buffet items were mild and only a few had a slight kick. I enjoyed this over their Asian style fried rice. * BUTTER CHICKEN | 4 stars A mild creamy sauce with chunks of boneless chicken. * MANCHURIAN BABY CORN | 4 stars I just loved it! Everything about it delighted me! * VIRGIN PIÑA COLADA | 5 stars Excellent flavor and very useful for cooling down the tongue of those of us who are spice wimps! [ SERVICE / ATMOSPHERE ] Sankranti is a very large facility with multiple dining spaces. The lunch buffet is held on the second floor which feels a little more open and casual than the first floor dining room. There were three food islands: One housed the Chicken Tandoor, Chicken Biryani, Goat Curry, Chicken Curry, Egg Curry, Butter Chicken and Fried Rice while the second had most of your sides + naan and the third island presented desserts. I was entirely too full to even attempt to try any of the dessert selections. Some of the offerings listed included: Pyasam, Dahi Kadhi & Raita. The staff was friendly and accommodating. [ FINAL THOUGHTS ] The current lunch price is a real value considering the amount of food I ate! The buffet in my opinion is the perfect way to dabble into Indian Cuisine for those who are not exactly familiar and don't know what to order (like me). My first plate was basically a small sampling of everything while my second plate was loaded with all the items I liked the most. My third plate was almost exclusively the Chicken Biryani + a small serving of the Paneer Tikka Masala on fried rice. While I didn't really enjoy the food at the yelp event a month ago, I was thrilled with the buffet and now find myself eager to return with my wife and friends for yet another round! Thank you Sankranti for a wonderful lunch experience. So glad you hosted that event because I doubt I would have ever found you otherwise! Sincerely, Your newest loyal customer 2023 / 3 read more

From the decor, the staff, food and atmosphere everything is awesome and it depicts an old South Indian house which gives a real homely feel. The interiors feature hand-carved wooden elements and architecture. The menu is unique compared to other Indian restaurants. This place is perfect for family and group of friends. The staff is wonderful and the menu is plentiful but not overly intimidating. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, clean and spacious overall. The Banana Leaf Fish has perfect blend of spices. The flavor profile of this dish will be to the likes of most subcontinent seafood lovers. The Onion Pakoda was fresh and delicious. Always my favorite is their Chicken and Mutton Pulav. The spice levels are perfect to my taste. Sankranti Restaurant is an Indian and Intercontinental fine dining restaurant along with Private dining and banquet facility that's in Johns Creek, GA. I am very happy that Sankranti restaurant started buffets after COVID during weekends. Their lunch timings are Tuesday To Sunday from 11:00 AM to 2:30 PM, and dinner timings are Tuesday To Sunday - 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, Monday's they are closed. Little expensive pricewise but worth it. They also have an huge banquet facility which is nice for events, big and small. They have ample free parking in front of the restaurant. I would recommend everyone to give Sankranti a try. I definitely plan on coming back soon. read more

Simply cannot understand how some of the basic Indian dishes were so sub-par. I remember there was a time when this place was so good and popular. I can only assume that the cooks have changed and no one is paying attention to the quality. Service was the best part of today's experience. Service - 4/5 Food - 1/5 Ambience - 3/5 read more

I think this restaurant is a true hidden gem! It's in a kind of discrete location, but this place is the best out of the ones tried so far. It's a very spacious place, with the buffet located upstairs. I've only gone to the buffet, but want to try the kulfi that's listed on their menu. The service was good as well. The buffet has a wide variety of dishes, including three options for rice and dessert options as well. I actually liked all of the available dishes and thought they were all worth trying. I would especially recommend trying the (what I think is) dosa, which is made custom in a stall next to the buffet. Crispy and delicious! Will definitely come here in the future. read more

Quality & tasty food, service and ambience! More of North-Indian food and flavorful! Buffet is good too with good choices!

Positives: Large restaurant with nice ambience. Menu has many choices. "Pulav" rice was good. Negatives: Service was perfunctory, with waitperson not particularly talkative or congenial. Prices are somewhat high for portion size. Naan was a little dry and not very flavorful. Tandoor meat also dry. Vegetable "side" consisted of a very few pieces of flat onion and peppers. read more

This restaurant/event space is right by my house and I've driven past it countless times. I always see the sign claiming it is the best buffet in Atlanta, so I have been looking for a chance to see if it's true. I don't know that I would go so far as to call it the best but it's certainly the best buffet for its value. And it probably has some of the best staff. I went with my family (including a toddler and a new born) for the lunch buffet which is located upstairs. When I sat down, the waiter greeted us and offered us either ice or room temperature water. I asked him if I let my toddler try some of the food (baby led weaning and all) if I would get charged, and he assured me he would only count the adults eating. Although I don't think I could definitively call this the best buffet in town, I believe this place has the best butter chicken in town. But, the winning dish at the buffet is actually the goat curry, so it probably also has the best goat curry in town too. One thing I think is important to be aware of going in is the spice level for most of the dishes. While my mother and I could handle the spice, my husband tried a few things but ultimately was only able to eat a couple of the many dishes they offered. I also wasn't super crazy about their dessert bar, but it's nothing so offending that I would not recommend stopping by for a nice sit down. The staff was super attentive with refilling our waters and removing our dirty dishes, when we got up to get more food from the buffet. As toddlers are wont to do, my daughter ended up with more rice on the floor than in her belly. We attempted to clean it up, but the waitstaff stopped us multiple times. Insisting that it was their job and they just wanted us to have a good time and enjoy the food. Which we absolutely did. While I don't know if it's the best buffet period, it is the best for my family in terms of location, price, and how we were all treated. read more

1. Beautiful ambience 2. Good food 3. Bit pricey! ;) 4. Couple misleading things which were overlooked by the food 5. Food portion - Not more, not less I've been looking forward to visit this place for months and when I did finally, it was really worth the wait. The ambience was absolutely stunning in that I felt I was in a Dhabha/Karaikudi type setup restaurant in India. I went for a Sunday dinner and the restaurant was quite empty. It was only my husband and another couple (a little surprising as most Indian restaurants get busy on Sundays too). Anyhoo, coming to the food, we ordered Veg balls in Manchurian sauce for appetizers. The waiter said we'd get 8 pieces but there were only 5 which was a little misleading! For the main course, we had butter roti, garlic naan and vegetables in 'Chettinad curry'. Oh my, these were absolutely delicious! One thing about the curry was that the vegetables were a bit undercooked which made me reduce a star for the rating. Finally, for dessert, we had 'Custard Payasam' which was super hot, gooey, delicious and came along in a nice cute little pot. It was not too sweet which I really appreciate. Although the description in the menu said that it's made of rice, our dessert was made of vermicelli, again which was another misleading factor. Overall, it was a pretty nice experience! read more

I would give 4 stars because of one particular complaint, but need to counteract the current crazy 3 star review average. Everything got five stars for taste, at least when I was there. Nothing was bland or toned down. Some might be dismayed at the pools of grease in a few of the dishes. But you see the same in India. Just look at some YouTube videos. Less excusable was the lack of air conditioning in August. Funny story though. When closing time came, and employees came out to start clearing up, the A/C came on! Bring your own battery powered fan to the table or hire a punkah wallah and you'll be okay. read more

Vegetarian menu we tried year back was horrible at lunch buffet. Tasteless. We happened to attend Diwali party again this year at Sankranti. I was hoping that something would be changed but nop. Food was same horrible. Paneer Tikka Kabab was kept with just masala. I guess, they expected guests to come with hot plate and pan and heat it up themselves. There was no chutney to go along. When asked they mixed icy cold one which was too sour as well. Coming to main course, curries Paneer Butter Masala and korma were same to same and same watery. There was zero taste. Tomato dal was still not bad and edible. Gulabjam was surprisingly good and naans were also ok. Non veg was also equally uncooked for starters and curry was same tasteless. Only good part is party hall is really good. Space is good. But food is just terrible quality. I wish, they read this and improve. We had no choice for diwali party else never ever again spending money there. read more

Sankranti is not a place I would recommend anyone host an event. We held an evening event on a Saturday evening and had booked the largest hall at Sankranti several months in advance. Initially, we were in contact with Sam, who was extremely helpful--always responsive, transparent, and clear about what to expect. One of the main reasons we chose Sankranti was because catering was included, but we were allowed to bring in our own drinks. We were informed we'd need to bring our own cups for the bar, which was fine, and that plates and silverware would be provided for dinner. Unfortunately, the silverware turned out to be plastic, which did not match the level of formality we had planned for. Closer to the event, things began to unravel. About 15 days before, we unexpectedly found out--only after my husband called to ask a question--that Sam was no longer there and Prashant would be taking over. From that point on, communication became incredibly difficult. The last two weeks leading up to the event were unnecessarily stressful due to the lack of responsiveness from management. A couple of days before our event, we were informed that another party had been booked in the same hall earlier in the day. We were told this wouldn't affect us, as we'd have access to the hall by 3:15 PM so our decorator could set up before 5pm. However, the party before ours ran over, and the decorator wasn't able to get in on time. This delay falls squarely on the venue's management, who failed to coordinate properly. We had also hired a professional photographer to capture important moments before the event began. Because of the delay in accessing the hall, we lost valuable time and were forced to improvise, taking photos outside--in a poorly maintained parking lot. This was incredibly disappointing and definitely not what we envisioned. We had arranged for a dessert table with outside desserts and were told a table and linen would be provided, and we'd just be responsible for setup. However, the table and linen didn't arrive until 4:45 PM--after multiple calls from my husband to Roy, who was supposedly sharing responsibilities with Prashant. Roy claimed he had forgotten his phone, which was extremely unprofessional and added to the already mounting stress. To make matters worse, when it came time to finalize payment, there was barely any acknowledgment or compensation for all the delays and mismanagement. Not even $85 could be deducted from the final bill. Roy said he couldn't even get in touch with Prashant himself. Being 7 months pregnant at the time, dealing with all of this chaos and last-minute scrambling, all while trying to focus on our event. The lack of organization, poor communication, and sheer indifference from Sankranti's management made this one of the most stressful experiences I've ever had. read more

Fantastic food and service. This is where you go for quality indian food. The afternoon buffet and dinner are both exceptional

Holy cow 80 bucks of food my bad I assumed wrongly rice was included ... but no that's extra so here I am making rice Their food is greasy and I would not order again It literally sucks read more

Sankranti is located in Johns Creek, GA, it's one of many Indian cuisine restaurants in the area already. So competition can be tough, especially for more new establishments. First off, the building it's located in appears to be a former office complex. The restaurant itself is two stories the first floor has the more formal dining section which is open around dinner time. This place is huge by the way. They have a banquet hall for large gatherings and celebrations. I visited during the lunch hours so I did not get a chance to experience that area of the restaurant. If you head up one floor you will enter the buffet area dining section which is where you will be eating at during lunch. Yes there are stairs by the way and depending on your mood you may not enjoy it. The color white dominates the lunch area and it gives it a very clean and pristine appearance but also kind of a cold and sterile vibe the same time. this area is very spacious there is an opening where you can see one level down but there are enough tables to fit a decent amount of people I would say. In terms of the buffet they offer a mixture of regional Indian cuisine. According to their website it's a mixture of north, south, east, west, pretty much most of India. I'm not an expert so I'll just take them for their word there but yeah there is a lot of options for sure. Of course you have your veg and non-veg options. There are also desserts at center the buffet section. so when it comes to the taste of most of the food I would say it tastes pretty good, I know that's not the best description, but I'm not that experienced with Indian food so as long as it works well with my pallet I'm good. Nothing was too spicy and I do like spicy by the way, but I would say it's it would be safe for most people who aren't familiar with Indian cuisine. The service here is as good as it can be for a lunch buffet I mean pretty much you just show up eat your food and go back and get some more and by the time you come back your old plate should be gone. That's pretty much all you have to do and also to refill your water when your glass is empty but if they can do all that then no complaints from me. Overall for a lunch buffet it's good I still honestly prefer Madras (another restaurant), but that's just personal preference and I preferred their more warmer atmosphere. Still this place is worth checking out. Definitely try the dinner optio, but if you're playing it more safe, the buffet is always a good option too. That's about it for me, signing off now, and as always thanks for reading! Lunch Hours: Tuesday to Saturday Timings: 11:30 am to 3:00 pm Sunday Timings: 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm read more

My husband and I were craving Indian food, and we happened to be in the Johns Creek area, so we decided to try this restaurant. They had a party hall where some events were going on, and because of that, the parking was difficult to find. We had to park across the street and walk back to the restaurant. It was a chilly night, and the walk to and from the restaurant was very unpleasant. We were greeted at the door and seated quickly. Our server Ranjit told us that the kitchen was too busy and we should place our entire order together. We placed orders for drinks (Sankranti Bengal Tiger, Classic Mango Margarita), appetizers (Chicken Tikka Kabab, Tandoori Shrimp), entrées (Chicken Chettinadu, Garlic Naan, Mahi-Mahi in Moilee Sauce). After 20 minutes, we got our drinks and appetizers, and from the view, almost everyone was waiting for their food. It took another 40 mins for them to bring our entrées. Mahi-Mahi in moilee sauce was $22, and the portion was not even enough for one person. We had to add another entrée. But the taste was excellent. I love the moilee sauce; it just wasn't enough for us to enjoy it properly. Other than that we enjoyed the food. Surprisingly our 3rd entrée, The boneless chicken biryani, was the night's highlight! read more

Im going to be brutally honest in my review of this restaurant on a scale of 1-10. Other reviews were much higher, but on deeper investigation it is seen that the food became sub-par over time. Our order: Small plate tandoor shrimp Spinach chat Green chili paneer Garlic naan Paneer tikka curry Shrimp chettinadu curry Goat pulav Cashew and paneer biryani Mango cheesecake Ambiance: 8.5/10: The interior was modeled after a traditional Indian house, and booths along a wall were turned into huts with roofs. Very nice atmosphere, unfortunately, the same cannot be said about some of the following. Service: 6.5/10: Although some of the food was slow getting out, the server was very nice and was considerate of our wishes, if the food just got out a bit faster and in the right order, this criteria would be higher. Food: 2/10 Spices were not a concept in the kitchen, and for an Indian restaurant, was a shame. A young kid that cannot handle spice complained that a clearly labeled 'spicy' chettinadu curry was lacking flavor. The tikka curry might as well have been a dessert with how sweet it was. The spinach chat was absolutely drowned in coriander, more so than spinach. Especially for someone with the genetic condition that makes cilantro taste bad, it was repulsive. I had to take frequent breaks from eating to cleanse my palate with some water. When they said small plate: they meant SMALL PLATE, the shrimp tandoor consisted of 5 shrimp pieces on a bed of a cilantro sauce drizzle. Naans weren't that bad, apart from being a bit bland and doughy. We also ordered a green chili paneer, what the menu neglected to mention was the fact that the green chili paneer curry was 10% green chili and 90% cilantro sauce. Speaking of curries, you could select a protein for each curry, or get it plain. If you selected a protein, you would get a sparse blanket of said protein on top of a lot of curry. It is as if they placed the proteins on top of the dish (they did). The goat pulave was made with no oil or spice as mentioned, and was way more rice than goat. The cashew and paneer biryani was a letdown, as a Telugu biryani is supposed to be bursting with flavor from many rich spices. It didn't even smell that good, and tasted just as bland. The midget cup of Raina that came with it was sour and I was left wondering how someone could mess up a simple cup of raita. I had already lost my appetite by this time, but our server had recommended a mango cheesecake, saying: 'kids like it.' I for one did not like it that much, and everyone else in my family stopped eating before me. In the end, more than half of the single slice of cheesecake was left, and I forgot to mention that the cheese in the cheesecake was actually more like a mousse and was lacking the mango flavor. Overall: 2/10 This restaurant is good for anybody that is new to Indian food and cannot handle spice. If you are looking for authentic Indian food, I suggest you try a place like Sri Krishna Vilas (the dosas and other tiffins are really good, and come out hot in about 5 minutes). The atmosphere really carried this restaurant out of a 1 star rating. read more

Great service. Very nice ambiance. Lunch Buffet: Buffet items were cold. We were one of the first ones to start the lunch buffet on Saturday as soon as it started and all the items were already cold. I don't get it. They seem like they were prepared in the early morning and served at noon. Non veg items were overcooked and tasted a bit bland. Non-Veg: If you cook chicken or goat above 165 degrees and kept cooking it at very high temperatures, it sucks all the life out of them. They will become bland and overcooked.Chicken pieces get over tender and can break easily. Goat on the other hand becomes darker, stale and over tender. They both were like that. Same thing happened with most of the non-veg dishes. Non-veg appetizers were good but cold. Couldn't enjoy cold appetizers. Veg: Loved the veg items. Dal was excellent. Mushroom appetizer was excellent. Pulav was dry and cold but still great. Not bad. Overall all the veggies dishes were great. Sambar was very good. Selection of items: This might be a personal choice from person to person. But I dont think an idli belongs in a lunch buffet. May be mysore bonda, pakoda, chilli pakoda. But not idli. Loved the peanut chutney. Sweets: Gulab Jamun was great. Didnt eat anything else. Dont need to. Dont care. Gulab Jamun is all we need! Salad option is a nice touch. Onion, lettuce, carrots, cucumbers! I appreciate it. Overall not bad! If $50 incl tip on a cold buffet for two people does not seem like excess, this might not be a bad place. Not sure if I will go again for lunch buffet. Next day came here for Breakfast buffet. "If a place offers breakfast buffet, and does not include Mysore Bonda and peanut chutney, that place is dead to me." read more

This place did not disappoint! This is a beautiful restaurant and I can't wait to return to visit for the weekend buffet. The food was amazing. We got the Kaju Paneer Biryani, Samosas (not pictured) , fried rice and the BEST mango cheesecake! The Biryani was so fresh, I asked for medium heat and it paired perfect with the yogurt raita. I loved the added cashews that provided texture to the dish. My son loved the fried rice. Now into dessert, mango cheesecake. It was more like divine heaven in your mouth. The cheesecake had a mousse like texture with the forward taste of mango and sweetness but not too much sweetness. They should sale the cheesecake as a whole instead of slices. read more

Love the ambience of this place. It depicts an old South Indian house - gives a homely feel! The menu is unique compared to other Indian restaurants and the best thing is - they do not give rice with every entree.Personally that is such a plus for me coz the rice is always extra and I end up trashing. This place is perfect for family and group of friends . Service was quick too. read more

We had our yoga class party here. The food choices were sparse and standard. I'm Indian and they gave us dosa with raw onions! We asked for masala dosa, and they said to eat what was in the buffet. They had ' masala idlis' made from stale left over idlis. The buffet serving dishes were not replenished and rather empty. The waiters were low energy and unenthusiastic. They had to be told to clear our plates. They were slow to serve us water or any soft drinks. They gave separate checks. For a group of 36, which was good. I called both their catering and restaurant line several weeks in advance to let them know we were coming. We arrived at 11.30 so that they would not be crowded. Will not be going here and do not recommend this place anymore. read more

This was the BEST meal I have had in a long time. So good i forgot to take pics of everything aside from the mixed vegetable korma. Safe to say my phone did NOT eat first because i did instead. Anyways, I tried my friend's biryani and also had naan with my korma. Everything was soo flavorful with a perfect level of spice, if you like relatively spicy foods. I just can't get over how this meal really hit the spot. If i would've eaten any more my friends would've had to roll me out the restaurant. The picture i took is deceiving because the bowl may look small, but make no mistake by assuming that means it was an inadequate portion. I came hungry and left borderline overstuffed and i wasn't even able to finish everything i ordered. The staff was very friendly and we were seated immediately even on a busy saturday night. Despite there being multiple events at the restaurant, our food all came out pretty quickly- maybe less than 20 mins? (I would've waited two hours for that meal though). Safe to assume I will most definitely be back because they had so many vegetarian friendly options and Im counting down the days until I can try every. single. one of them. read more

Less than mediocre buffet. Very small spread, average taste. Much better to go to Chettinad close by for a couple of extra bucks.

We enjoyed an amazing Sunday lunch buffet today. There was a wide variety of chicken dishes as well as goat and vegetarian dishes. All wonderfully seasoned. A variety of breads, soups, sauces, and dessert sweets. We thought it was very reasonably priced. The staff were hospitable and wearing masks as appropriate. A concern during the pandemic, they post a sign describing an upgraded air circulation, filtration, and purification system and hand sanitizer available. Nice decor, ample parking. The lunch buffet is upstairs and the fancy dining room ground floor is a la carte in the evening. We'll be back to try the evening dinner soon. There is also a banquet room upstairs that had a large party having fun, baby shower or something. read more

Been craving Indian food for a while and I was so excited to try out Sankranti--since I have been in the hunt in finding a go to Indian restaurant--and sadly I don't think Sankranti is it. Service was a bit slow-, especially for the restaurant being empty when we came in besides another table. We started off with the Samosas which were delicious that we decided to order twice and we shared the Paneer tika which was a bit bland that I ate it with the chutney served with the samosa since it was lacking in flavor. After waiting a while we finally were able to place our order with the busboy since our server seemed to had forgotten us--when a large party came in and the most of the attention was on them. The entrees were a bit disappointing and boring--being used to how flavorful and rich Indian food is--Entrees do not come with rice which is the least they could do with how small the entrees were(for the price and also every other restaurant it's customary that entrees come with sides especially with Indian cuisine ) and how saucy they are-the cocktails were surprisingly delicious and refreshing. But over all slightly disappointed! read more

So despite some of the reviews for this place, my mom wanted to try this place. I am sure glad we did! They have done a great job of creating a wonderful atmosphere here. Really great decor and many event halls for any range of partying. The service might I add, was actually really good. They were attentive and helpful in providing suggestions of crowd favorites. With that being said, the food was great! You can tell everything was made fresh and tasty! I would say it was finger licking good! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone in town. Come check it out and see for yourself! Only downside is that the prices are on the higher side but the portions, for the most part, make up for that. TLDR; good atmosphere and good food, highly recommend. read more

Wonderful food - came with a large group - so we were able to sample a large variety of dishes. Everything was delicious...especially enjoyed some of the more regional dishes. Service was friendly and efficient. Was a little nervous when the place was quite empty when we showed up - but it filled up later in the evening...I guess folks are late diners in this area. Definitely recommend. read more

Awful buffet experience on 05/21. The eggplant pakodas were fridge cold. Corn Manchurian & veg pulao were gone bad. Chicken was chewy & cold. Naan & paneer tikka masala were at different level @bad testing. Pistachio mousse - no comments. The only eatable thing were idli & chutney. Bad experience & I'm very doubtful if we will visit again. Management didn't do anything when we informed them about all the above experience. read more

Really great dining experience. I came with a large group from work and we tried a bit of everything, and it was all amazing. Very attentive service and helpful with recommendations. Looking forward to coming back next time I'm in town. read more

Went for breakfast buffet around 11 am, they don't refresh food that frequently and you end up waiting for 10 to 15 minutes. Mediocre quality and taste of few items served read more

This place looks like a mansion. I have been here only once hugely built and it definitely looks more amazing than any other Indian restaurant I have been to in the USA. Their buffet includes huge varieties and tastes good. Most of all the dishes are decent and the curries were amazing. It is clean neat and happy to dine in place as well. They have a great desserts addition as well. I will be here again for a buffet. They also have valet parking available which helps you not worry about looking for parking spaces. The only reason I could award a 5/5 is some dishes can still do better. read more

Came here for breakfast and loved it. Good dosa (served on your table on requested), idli, medu wada, pongal, potato bhaji with poori, sweet dish to top it off. Filter coffee and tea. Loved it! read more

Sankranti Restaurant - Bar and Restaurant. - Indian Near Me - Johns Creek, Georgia

I was taught my love of Indian food by a dear friend. Not many restaurants would measure up to her standards. This one, this one absolutely does. Fantastic food; delicate, well seasoned, generous portions. Outstanding service, we wanted for nothing and the conversation was grand. Won't go anywhere else now read more

I usually forget to review. This one I had to. January First dinner. The place was practically empty ( should have been the first indicator). THE BAD Waiter although polite had no mask. BIG DEAL. We were uncomfortable. In fact except for one , none of the staff had masks. "Fine" restaurants should have trained staff. Our server was a nice guy, however lacked basic hospitality skills. Not his fault. Management needs to make sure they are trained. Delays in the order. Main entrees ( couple of them) came way later than the rest. We had finished the non delayed items and we're full. Had to pack the rest. The restaurant decor was pleasing however the ambiance was dead and dull. I guess due to the lack of human activity. Menu on basic fast food style printed paper( a no no for a fine restaurant) Communication between the kitchen and servers seemed questionable ( regarding our delays) High prices Not a place to celebrate. THE GOOD The food was good, especially the breads. Our Sankranthi mock tail was way too sour, so they replaced it with another mock tail. Final thought- would not go there again. read more
