Indian Food to Try

“BEST Indian cuisine (buffet) I have ever eaten. The restaurant’s environment is very clean, and everything is well-organized. The dishes at the self-service counter are very fresh, and the counter itself is very tidy. There is a wide variety of vegetarian dishes, chicken, and lamb dishes. Each dish has a unique style and distinct flavor. The garlic naan is highly recommended, as it is very aromatic. The yogurt counter features a variety of special Indian snacks and desserts. The owner is very warm and patient, providing attentive and comfortable service.”

The service was exceptional, with attentive staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and eager to make recommendations. The ambiance was also lovely, creating a perfect setting for a memorable meal. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking great Indian cuisine and top-notch service.”

Mint Chutney

$5.99+

Fresh mint chutney served in a required 8-, 12-, or 24-ounce size.

“Pass by this restaurant many times on i5 ElToro junction. Decided to stop by for lunch. I had the buffet because I wanted to try a bit of everything. It was delicious. Really enjoyed the flavours. The buffet even comes with freshly made garlic naan. What a surprise. I am from Singapore, so I miss the tastes of Asia and Indian cuisine. Before leaving I ordered Lamb Bryiani and Masalla dosa to go for my daughter. I shall return. Even the Masalla tea is refillable. I highly recommend this place.”

Paneer Pakora

$7.99

Indian cheese cubes dipped in chickpea batter for a fried appetizer.

“I've been to a lot of Indian restaurants around OC, especially ones that have AYCE buffets, and I have to admit.... this one puts all of them to shame. This is like the first time I've ever bothered writing a review on my experience at a restaurant and for good reason. This place is the best. If you're looking for a slice of heaven, look not further. This is it.”

Papad

$3.99

A thin Indian wafer served as a crisp, savory side.

“Delicious, varied Indian food, impeccable and friendly service, white table cloth, choice of tables along the windows, perfect venue size, champagne brunch on Sundays but really a full buffet is offered everyday. Just add the champagne! And very reasonable.”
