Please Open up your takeout and check your order. I ordered Tandoori Seafood Masala. I received a few pieces of seafood with lots of sauce. Not even a piece of fish. For price I definitely didn’t get my money’s worth. When I tried to call the restaurant, of course no one answers. Haven’t been here in a while, now I remember why.

Good spot for Indian food in the neighborhood. The mulligatawny is good, very good naan and samosas. The entrees were also good.

Mallesh B
Buffet is fine with very limited options, without biryani. Chicken 65 is made in Chinese style and tandoori chicken is very dry. Garlic nan is good. Gulabjamun is good

I wouldn’t say it is a very good restaurant it’s okay

We came here for the buffet shortly after they opened on a Saturday morning. Everything was great, including the service. There were at least 3 dishes that we have never seen om any other Indian buffet before so we were excited to try them (all three were delicious). We would definitely come back.

Went to their new location at Forest Hills and what a disappointment. To start, it’s under new management. The new owners care less about customer service. I sat down and waited several minutes to get service. We placed the order and never received water. I asked twice for water. Food, was more sauce then meat. I will never go back to this location. To bad because this used to be my favorite spot. Don’t waste your money everyone. Go elsewhere.

Food is so fresh, delicious! Great customer service, inviting interiors!

This place is absolutely ridiculous. I placed a pickup order at 2:00 (Mind you, they don’t close until 10), arrived here at 2:30, and the store is closed. I’ve called multiple times, tried emailing management, still nothing. Nor have I received a refund for the money I paid. Do not go here, its a scam.

Cole Parker
In short order, this has become my go-to location for local Indian food. Every time I order (at least 4-5 times by now), I try something new and I have yet to be disappointed. Dishes are well seasoned without being overpowering, meat is tender and flavorful, and the breads are perfectly prepared. It’s not the cheapest meal you can order, but, as far as I’m concerned, you’re paying for quality.

Love the vegan options here but for orders for delivery, they need to seal them better. Most of oil in the container spilled to the bottom of the bag
