Vegetable Samosa

$5.99

Crisp pastry filled with spiced potatoes and peas for a savory bite.

“We ordered the chicken tikka masala, lamb saag, garlic naan, rice, samosas and mango lassis. Everything was tasty. I especially loved the lamb saag. It was the perfect amount of spicy with large chunks of lamb and the saag was creamy but not so creamy you miss the spinach. The garlic naan was huge! We ordered 4 and probably could have done with 2. The mango lassi was a hit for everyone. Staff was friendly and we got our food quickly. It was the perfect dinner to warm us up on a chilly evening.”

The staff is also very friendly and the service is quick. The ambience is also nice. Highly recommend this restaurant if you love Indian food.”

“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.”
