One of the best Chicken Tikka Masala dishes in the USA; at least compared to Chicago, Ohio, Indiana, Florida, other parts of Michigan. The rice is uniquely fluffy like mozzarella or coconut shavings. The sauce is creamy and prepared at the perfect spice level and flavor. Portion is big enough for 2 adults. Plain naan was a balance of chewy and crispy tenderness. 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great restaurant! $11.99 for buffet as of Feb 16 2019 is not too bad! Decent variety of Indian cuisine. They have vegetarian and vegan options too and the great thing is that everything was labeled! The butter chicken curry was delicious including other things in the menu. I definitely recommend.

Had the lunch buffet. Excellent selection of both vegetarian selections and meat selections. Each selection was very flavorful and made with love. Wish the iced tea was fresh brewed non brisk tea, but that is just a preference for me. Great staff that was attentive and friendly. Pleasant experience overall and one of the better Indian Buffets I been to nationwide for quality and flavor. Next time I am in town, I will return for sure.

Came here during my short trip to Grand Rapids and have to admit that the food was more than delicious and service was awesome. It’s an open kitchen restaurant and very clean. The bathroom was clean as well. It has highchair for kids and the staff was very friendly to the kids. A must visit whether you are living in MI or visiting.

Wonderful Indian restaurant, the butter chicken is better than I’ve had any where else. The naan is also soft and buttery which can be paired with the grilled kabob plates (also delicious). The paani puri was cold and not the best I’ve had but everything else was delicious. Bonus points for halal meat!

So we have been eating ar this place since its inception, unfortunately the flavor is decreasing as time progressed. Today, the food was absolute flavor less, the only goodies gulabjamun and hakka noodles, rest is absolute bland. One more good thing, meat quality is nice, well cooked. Probably will not return anytime soon.

We’re just passing through for one night but we wish we could pack up this restaurant and take it home with us, it was a whole cut above any of the Indian restaurants back home. We highly recommend it!

Tried Indian Masala on a recommendation from a friend after Bombay Cuisine closed. I got take out and the food was up to par with Bombay Cuisine. I ordered naan and tikka masala. The menu is reasonably priced. 4 stars because I would not dine-in. The staff is very friendly but the atmosphere isn’t the cleanest, it’s poorly lit (meaning way too bright) and they do not offer alcoholic beverages. Will be ordering take out again!

First time trying this restaurant tonight and we are so impressed! Food is delicious and the online ordering system on the website is fabulous (and not the norm). We tried quite a few things and they were all splendid. Great portion sizes for the price. We will definitely be back!
