Well! today i had a worst experience of having an Indian food-(South Indian biryani) in this restaurant. Anybody could expect a fairly good food on weekends. But surprisingly such taste was not expected… Would not recommend anybody and will not visit again for sure.

The only Indian buffet in Riverside as of May 2023. They are using really good ingredients and they are not watering down the curry. Must go place.

Amazing and Delicious Food! Let me start off with WOW! The store front is non-descript, but this is fine Indian cuisine. We ordered several appetizers and different types of naan, plus a few entrees to share. The flavors were complex, varied, delicate and well balanced. Everything cooked to perfection. Portions were very plentiful. Prices are reasonable for what you’re getting! Service was helpful and attentive. The dining room is new and clean, but sparse as they’re still installing a new lunch buffet, opening soon. Excited to try that out! This is a must go to restaurant. UPDATE: 10/15, Tried out the buffet. It was pretty good, but not as much variety as hoped for. Also, since the food isn’t being served as fresh made to order items from the kitchen, not as great as my first experience. It’s still tasty food, but the buffet wouldn’t be my go to choice. I’d order from the menu instead.

Very good lunch buffet, especially for the price of $15! About 5 meat dishes, and 4 vegetarian dishes. The curries were perfectly seasoned and well cooked. They had a basic salad option, raita, two chutneys, spring rolls, and naan bread! Garlic naan was extra $1, but so worth it. Service was great, there was not very many customers and I can’t understand why! Favorite choice being their daal lentils and butter chicken!

I am so happy to see that there’s actually an Indian Buffet again here in RIverside. My husband and I visited this establishment this afternoon for lunch and for the Buffet and was pleasantly pleasantly pleased. The Nan bread is very fresh the butter chicken, curry, and everything was fantastic. I highly recommend you check this place out.

Went for their unlimited dosa special. They do give you the regular size dosa, so hard to eat more then one. Mehdu vada, dessert and madras filter coffee/tea is included as well. The food was ok. Mysore dosa was not spicy and very little masala was in it. Also the coffee needs to be stronger. The dessert was very good though. I would recommend giving smaller dosas so that people can try the different ones if you really want to make this offer on Wednesdays successful.

Adam Nasser
Food was very bad. Butter chicken was very liquidy and the flavor was not right. The Naan was very dry and tasted just like regular bread. Would definitely not recommend!
