Went here for the first time tonight and here’s our experience. First off the food was delicious, some of the best I’ve had. A couple of issues were the open times are different on many days and so it can be confusing to remember. The service was good but it took a really long time to get our food, not sure why there were a few tables seated when we arrived and a few came afterwards. We didn’t get our meal served until everyone else in the restaurant was gone. We were just about to ask what was going on when they brought us ours. We will definitely come again as the food was fantastic.

Delicious food. The Tandoori Momo were very fresh lightly fried with onions, peppers and spices. I had the tandoori chicken it was amazing!! I asked for Light on the spices, it was perfect. My dish came with a salad and buttered naan. My husband ordered chicken curry he loved it. It also came with a salad and rice.

Can’t get enough of this place. The food is great, always a variety at the buffet, and it is amazing! They come around frequent to refill glasses, give you fresh naan bread, and just to greet you. They treat you like family! We have dined with them for years, great people.

What a great hidden gem this is! Really great menu with delicious dishes and the good service! The only complaint is that I wish I had found it sooner!

Food was good, ordered tandoori chicken & came in hot plate which vegetables on it. Perhaps the vegetables could be separated as it became burnt. Great service!

I haven’t been able to find a good Indian restaurant since moving here from North Carolina. They all taste as bad as Noon & Mirch which I don’t understand how they’re still in business. Overpriced and extremely bland.

This is, hands down, the most outstanding Indian food of anywhere within 100 miles (and I travel for a living). The owners are remnants of the original Indian restaurant that was here in the NASA area, and was located next to IHOP. You WILL NOT find better food, service, or an all-around dining experience than what you will find here. The atmosphere is casual, warm, and unpretentious. The food is truly on another level. Well done, guys. Well done.

Right beside NASA center, it’s a good option for lunch. This review is just for the buffet and not for the entire food options offered at this restaurant.
