Buffets are always a gamble. You can hit a jackpot or be at the worst end of it. I noticed A lot of negative reviews and perception about this establishment, but in my case it was ok. I did not encounter any problems, and the food tasted fine. After arriving, we found a nice comfortable spot to sit at and went straight to the buffet. There were plenty of items on the buffet. I went for the usual items that I know would taste good because they are grilled. I grabbed some chicken tikka, chicken seekh kabobs, karhai chicken and curried potatoes. There was biryani on the buffet too along with Nihari, Haleem etc. There was a salad station with other snacks available. The buffet includes a drink and they also have their version of hot milk tea which was pretty good. They brought us complimentary naan fresh off the oven. Currently, there is an yelp check-in offer of 15% off the entire bill, but I'm not sure if its honored or not.
I came here for their Sunday brunch buffet. The food was good and fresh. Their chicken tikka was very flavorful and juicy. Their Biryani, haleem and chicken frontier were also above average. The puri was a little dry, but they made it up by serving us freshly baked naan. Over all the experience was phenomenal. Will go again.
A lot of negative reviews and perceptions about this place. I've been here twice now, the first being with a group of 15 people, and enjoyed the food. This is a buffet so you need to come in during busy or peak hours if you want super fresh food as with all buffet restaurants otherwise the food will be out for a while (which is not to say their food was bad or spoiled). The tandoori chicken they made fresh as we went during non peak hours and placed fresh naan with that. A yelp check in also yields a free mango lassi glass so that's good. Bottom line is the food is good with good service to boot.
We usually skip buffets, however this place is an exception to the rule. Everything was good, and favorites were goat, biriyani,naan,chicken Tikka. There was also sweet orange rice. Veggie selection was equally good. Towards the end of my meal, I noticed they had salad and soup. Unfortunately, I had no more room. The chandelier is really nice dropping down to the center of restaurant. It was 1/3 full when we stopped in an hour before closing. A few people were taking photographs. When we walked, they motioned us to have a seat anywhere. We were offered fresh naan after we sat down with our plate. We are making plans to visit for lunch. The owner mentioned that each time menu items change. Nice staff and service. Plenty of parking near restaurant and it's really great that they extended hours compared to other restaurants.
