Food was delicious, almost unbelievable! I told our waiter I wanted my food spicy and he made it perfect so that I would be sweating but could still just eat my fill. They were very nice, had good Indian music videos playing. 100% coming back here!!!

This buffet was absolutely amazing. I love Indian but I wanted to expand my experience with their food. Finding this buffet was an amazing way to try a bunch of different Indian cuisine. They had a great selection of dishes, veggie dishes, curries, Tikka masala, tandoori, hot foods, cold foods, sides, chutneys. Desserts and masala chai too! I came from waterbury which has amazing Indian places but I will for sure be back here again and again and I can’t wait!

We absolutely love the food here and have been going to the restaurant and ordering out for years. Today, we tried the Monday lunch buffet and were very pleased with the experience. There were 6 different entrees, as well as an appetizer dish, tandoori chicken, and a dessert dish. There was fresh naan for the table and consistent service throughout our lunch.

Very terrible experience with ordering from this place. Ordered pepper chicken dish with specific instructions for nut free as my son is severely allergic. What they gave us was black pepper chicken with lots of almonds in the gravy. The person on the phone had the gall to tell us that the dish was nut free and only had ‘Badam’ the Indian name for almonds. My son had to go to the emergency room to get treated. I will recommend people with allergies should stay clear of this place. Others please decide for yourself.

Kolam is our favorite local restaurant. Every dish we’ve had from them has created a festival of Indian spiced flavor on the pallet. Each visit we try to get a dish we haven’t tried before and have yet to be mildly disappointed. The wait staff is exceptional. Very welcoming and very attentive. I highly recommend Kolam for anyone who already appreciates Indian cuisine and/or those looking to expand their dining experience with an authentic, mouth watering delight.

Had food from this restaurant many times before and they were good. This time I ordered Chicken, Lamb biriyani for takeout and they were very sour!! Couldn’t even finish 2 spoon. Also the chicken Chettinad curry was not good and I ordered Butter nan but was given plain nan. Very Disappointed!!
