The food was pretty good and the interior is also well kept. Only issue I felt was the service here, my girlfriend asked the waiter nicely if he can wash the cutlery once and bring it back as it looked a bit dirty to us, he denied saying this is how it looks and said if you want I can bring a glass of water for us to wash it. The whole point of going out to eat will be ruined with such behavior.

Great place! Amazing Indian food for a very reasonable price. The people are also extremely friendly, the place is super tidy and gives a proper Indian vibe. Best place to have food near Niagara.

My husband and I had the most delicious vegetarian, chickpea dish with fried bread, as well as tandoori chicken, and Naan bread. The food is phenomenal. We were extremely pleased with the service, not to mention the abundance of food and exceptional service tonight. We would definitely return if we are visiting this area again. Thank you for such a wonderful and memorable experience!

No buffet but the menu is extensive, we ordered combo apps which was perfect for 3 people and a good selection recommended by our server and he helped us decide on a lamb, chicken and veg main dish which the 3 of us shared and had a small meal leftover, excellent Indian food can’t wait to go back

Food was average. Everything had almost the same base. More than all that the service was horrible. The guy who was taking the order and serving the food have no idea how to talk to the customers and what customer service is basically. Its as if he is giving away free food. I would definitely not suggest this restaurant. Plates and glasses were not cleaned properly as well.

While working in Buffalo for the weekend my boyfriend and I stopped here for a bite to eat. We both got the butter chicken with a side of extra nan bread, it was very delicious! The chicken was soft and the butter sauce was super creamy. The nan was even softer and had a nice butter glaze to make it even more delicious. The portions are so large that we took almost half of our meal with us! A great price for the portion size. The only downsides aren’t about their amazing food, the service was a tad slow and the bathroom was not clean. Next time we are in Buffalo we will defiantly stop back in, we recommend you do the same!

The atmosphere is so beautiful, dim lighting, lovely color changing lights, framed velvet tapestries with glittering strands through them, bright colored walls with hand painted designs, blacklight lit art that glows with beautiful colors, the tables are spaced for adequate privacy, and they also have high backed comfortable booths which are extremely private. Theres always indian music playing which is really nice too. The Tv was showing different scenes from india. I wish I had taken more photos of the food but its so good that when my meal came i was so anxious to dig in that i forgot. we havent had anything bad here. although i suspect the sambusa may be frozen and not fresh, and I didn’t like the paratha. (nellai banana leaf restaurant has Amazing paratha!) the chicken tikka appetizer was great. my friend said the lamb and vegetables was one of the best meals he’s ever had. the chicken shahi korma, chicken muglai, and malai are all DELICIOUS!! All three are the best I have ever had from any Indian restaurant I’ve ever tried. i let my friend try some and he was in love with them also. you literally have to refrain from licking the bowls clean, thats how delicious they are. the kitchen took direction well, when i asked for my naan to be lightly baked, they did so, which i appreciated. the owner is super friendly and kind, I love this restaurant and we will always go back

Their buffet isn’t currently up and running but it’s just as well. We shared the appetizer combo and entree combo between the two of us. Delicious!

The Indian food at this restaurant is of excellent quality. We ordered naan along with paneer mutter and paneer tikka masala, which were both delightful. The only drawback is the lack of sufficient staff, as there was only one person managing all the orders.
