Best Indian food in town. There is such a variety of different dishes and spice levels so everyone will have something they enjoy. They are also the only Indian restaurant in town to have southern India dishes, so more vegan and vegetarian options. Delicious food, no matter what you get.

For about two months I have been smelling this wonderful aroma of curry floating over the parking lot at Sam’s. One day I drove around the corner to see where it was coming from. Unfortunately I did not have time to stop that day but I did make a trip over the following Monday. Oh, I should of called or Googled them. They are closed on Mondays.

Amazing!!! I tried their mutton briyani and it was delicious! Told them to make it extra spicy and got exactly what I asked for. The portion for take out was great too for the price. Tried other Indian places out near the area and they arnt as good as this one. Must try.

My husband and I ate here once before and the food blew us away. We came back tonight with my brother and he fell in love with the lamb curry. This is some of the best food you can get in central Florida. We’re definitely gonna be back soon.

Buffet Day
I love this place. My biggest challenge was waiting for my food when I picked it up. Now the yellow rice I got was made with peanuts. It was something new for me, but the kids did not like it, so I had to remove every single one. Chicken Marsala is soup for me, but delicious. It has a lot of stew. Chicken 65, small pieces fry chicken. Butter Chicken / Chicken Makhani is a soup creamy hum. Rice Pilaf ok; it is white rice. Overall the food was super tasty. I want a dine-in experience next time.

Such delicious food. My date introduced me to Southern Indian. I didn’t know there was a difference but it’s just as wonderful a treat as I was accustomed with dining Indian style. Love me some spicey dishes

They have the best Rava dosa in town. It is the best Indian place at Jacksonville compared with other similar restaurants. I had an take out order mismatch yesterday and was not in town to get back the right one. They were kind enough to issue repayment.
