I tried the lunch buffet and it was delicious. Great variety, tasty dishes, and very fresh. The service was also excellent and free refills on the iced tea without even asking. Will definitely go back.

I have been coming to this restaurant for I don’t know how long, I grew up right behind here. It’s not childhood bias though I have gone to other restaurants and this one’s my favorite Indian buffet in Austin that I have been to. When I was homeless a long time ago I came in and didn’t realize it was fancy in here so I tried to leave but they kept offering me the lunch Buffett and lowering the price they were so nice I have always come back.

I’ve been coming to this establishment for over 2 decades now and as of yet I have no complaints or disappointing moments in here. Food, staff, ambiance, service, value for the money and location are great. Efrain is the best host one can ask for. Fresh dishes keep filling up the warmers, as well as the chutneys, and desserts. Can’t wait for my next meal!

We love this place. We loved it when they had lunch and dinner buffet. But our recent visit was bit disappointing because they don’t do dinner buffet on weekdays any more, or may have changed to particular days. Anywho, we still love the food here, no doubt. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the own/general manager/the guy was not inviting. He always seemed mad, frustrated or not happy…. I mean, you are in customer service industry, please be friendly… unless he just not happy towards us? P.S. Chicken Tika Masala is great, Lamb Korma is great, but the Beef curry is so so. I still recommend this place, despite the guy always has a straight face.

Not authentic India food. We ordered chicken biryani and aloo paratha. Biryani was okay, not authentic or original. Aloo paratha was bad, didn’t had any aloo stuffing at all.

Found this Indian restaurant that offers weekend lunch and dinner buffet, thought we’d give it a try on a Sunday. The place is super busy at 1pm, luckily didn’t have to wait for a table.

An authentic Indian decor welcomes you to dine and enjoy a drink or two with an excellent Indian cuisine to go along. Enjoy a 12+ course spread at a buffet table on any Saturday noon. The goat curry is very authentic to the line of cuisine this restaurant has to offer.

What a great experience. I can believe the variety and quality for a Buffett. For $14 you can’t go wrong. Super clean with a beautiful interior. Comfortable seating and the staff was A+. This place is worthy of 5 Stars! Check it out when in Austin

Prabir K Majumdar
Recently quality wasn’t the best. Stale Samosa, hard gulab jamon, no goat curry. And no gloves anymore which was provided during pandemic time. I gave 5 before. But now they deserve 3 out of 5.

My friends and I wanted to try some Indian cuisine and this place was great! The buffet they offered was perfect when you want to try different plates. The staff was great and refilled our drinks when needed. We went on a Saturday around 1pm and it was not too busy. Everything was fresh and well kept! Thank you for a good experience Star of India!
