We enjoyed the authentic Indian dishes. I ordered the Hurly- Burly Lamb Chili Fried Curry, it was not very hot but enjoyable nonetheless. My wife ordered the Gourmet Lamb Biryani which was mild (as requested). She thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was excellent.

Great to support a local business that provides a taste of India right in my backyard. I enjoyed the rice, and I thought the vegetable curry and paneer were delicious. The non-could have been a little better, but I did enjoy the location, and buffet setup. It was great to have multiple plates

One of the best food experiences I’ve had in a long time. Great service by the staff. Food was also phenomenal!! I love trying new cuisines so I made sure to order things I’ve never had before. It’s all authentic Indian cuisine with incredibly rich flavors. You will not be disappointed! If you’re not used to trying international foods, keep an open mind and ask the wait staff for suggestions! Our waiter/servers, Steven and Zoom, were super helpful.

We come here a lot for dinner. I recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala with white rice! It’s always amazing. Portions are large, I always take about half home. The cheese naans are delicious! The staff is always friendly and one time we lost our keys they were so helpful.

This place is amazing. This was our first time here, but it was definitely not our last. I had the Robust Chicken Curry, and it was perfect. The staff was very helpful and quick. We even had the owner stop by our table and chat.

Ordered take out and the best thing from my meal was the naan. After trying lots of authentic Indian food from the west side, my partner and I have been on the hunt for something good in this area. Overall the meal was quite disappointing. I love malai kofta and regularly get it when we go to an Indian restaurant. But the malai kofta here was extremely oily and the kofta itself tasted like bread rather than paneer. The dish didn’t taste like a traditional malai kofta and made my stomach a bit upset. It was also odd that the curry didn’t come with a side of rice, it was an additional charge. The masala chai was also watered down and not as flavorful as I was hoping. My partner ordered chicken biryani and it tasted very plain and nothing like biryani considering how much flavor and spices are added to this dish. Overall a sad experience for a high price. The dishes might be appetizing for those that haven’t had Indian food before (there’s not many places to try it here) but for those that regularly eat authentic Indian food, this probably isn’t a place for you.

Delicious food and fair prices. I’ve been here many times and loved it every time. Everything I’ve tried has been amazing. You know it’s good because there’s always plenty of Indian people there. There is a whole page as big as the meat page that is completely vegetarian. I’m not vegetarian but I often get those options as they are delicious .

Pretty pricey given how limited the buffet was. $18 for just the buffet plus drink hardly any meat options. Tandori chicken and chicken curry everything else was vegetarian. But the food was good

Having moved from Metro Detroit to the west side of Michigan, I was really excited to check out this restaurant. I was utterly disappointed with the quality of the food based on the price point. The chicken biryani was filled with an enormous amount of cashew nuts, peas and bell peppers which is unusual for the dish. I could compare it to microwaveable 30 sec store bought rice. The malai kofta was doused with oil and again filled with nuts. The kofta appeared to be frozen. The whole meal for two cost around $40.
