My family and I just visited this buffet today! Are you ready to appreciate traditional cuisine? The ingredients were fresh, the food was divine & absolutely mouth watering. Large dine in space with lots of options for singles or large families/friends. The parking is plentiful. The buffet had labeled all entrees which was appreciated. The staff was so friendly & welcoming. Highly recommend! We will return very soon.

Great food quality, amazing service, solid variety foods to choose from. The buffet was great, selctions from Naan bread, chicken, lamb, beef to Green Pea Pulao, and other selections. Food quality was pretty good! If you're craving Indian Buffet, this spot is what I'd recommend. The meats were very well flavored. None were dry. There were sauces for the proteins as well. You also have the option for a vegetarian style buffet as well. You also have the option for 3 sweet drinks as well. Employees were very nice, welcoming, and very helpful. Overall, a solid quality Indian buffet that can definitely be a staple in the metro area.

Absolutely amazing Karachi-level Shinwari Karahi. Make sure to call upfront and ask if Aleem bhai is cooking (usually on Saturdays). It’s outside their regular buffet menu and the item is a bit pricey ($50 for full Karahi) but the quantity is pretty generous (3-4 servings).

Came here for date night with the husband almost missed it because they don’t have a sign yet. Really glad we didn’t cause the food was fantastic and the service was amazing. Brand spanking new really good buffet. They are still under renovation, which is why atmosphere only got a four star

Wow!! What a delightful experience! Delicious food with a great variety, that was all kept very fresh and at temperature. Particularly recommend trying the palak paneer. Cheerful and welcoming ambience! We’ll definitely be back and recommending this place

Thank goodness for this Indian food buffet. (The only buffet of this food in the area, I believe.) We were greeted politely and considered, but not bothered, the whole time we were there. I love their sauces. Their naan is thicker and softer than I’m used to and it was a welcome surprise. They had coffee cups and Chai, which was so warming and a great addition to the food. There are spicy and non spicy options which will be great for when we want to bring our kids with us. You can order individual dishes if you don’t want to utilize the buffet as well, and we may do that to try any dishes they didn’t have in the buffet. They offer DoorDash services, so consider that as well. They are new and still constructing some inner designs so be patient with them. The food is worth the unfinished interior. (Nothing dirty or unsafe to be worried about.) Thank you so much. You’ll see us again soon!

Stopped in for dinner. They've only been open a couple of weeks and still getting started, but the food in the buffet was excellent. Must try the chili chicken. The service was great.
