Great Indian food at an affordable price. The paneer tikka masala is delicious. They also have really affordable lunch and dinner buffets with a wide variety of dishes. Definitely check it out if you're in the area

Food is always great! Butter Chicken is among the best i’ve had. Had the Mango Shrimp tonight too; another awesome dish!

I first came here in 2005 and loved it. It was the first time I had Indian food. No other Indian restaurant I've had since has compared. But, I moved away, and came back to visit in 2014...and I thought the food is just "good" (different cook?). Today (2018), the food was GREAT again. The best buffet I've ever had. (I don't compliment food often or bother to give many ratings. I usually read reviews, go eat..and am usually disappointed.)

This place has THE BEST korma out of all the Indian restaurants I have tried. I have been to 5 others and the others are not even close to Ektas's taste. My favorite order is the chicken korma, laccha paratha and the malai seekh kabob... omg it's all so good. I want to try other dishes but I'm so hooked on this order. I have tried the samosa chat and it is good when it's not served cold. Oh I also tasted the onion bhaji that is delicious as well. I love this place. I just wish they add pani puri and dosa to the menu so that I can stop having to go to 2 different restaurants to get all of my favorite Indian foods.

I love this place! It's my go-to for Indian cuisine. They have classics like butter chicken, samosa, tandoori chicken, Naan, and much more. Every once in a while, I treat myself to their pomegranate lassi when the desert just isn't hitting the spot but their Mango lassi will always be my first love. The atmosphere around dinner time is relaxing. A candle or two on each table would be a warm addition to the ambience. During the day, the sky lights create this soft glow that makes me want to stay a bit longer. It's a little tight around the back making the space towards the front prime real estate unless you're with a large group. I recommend going for their buffet because I believe it's a better bang for you buck (rate is based on time of day). However, there is an extensive menu if you request one. P.S. After closing time, you may catch a delightful view of the staff sharing a meal together. Edit: The buffet is no longer available.

We ordered several veg / non-veg appetizers/entrees for a party , and every single one was great (especially chicken/lamb sekwa and samosa. Biryani, veg fried rice, and panneer butter masala were also great)! The customer service was also excellent. The manager did not try to upsell, and even gave suggestions on reducing the quantity based on the number of guests. All the food trays were mostly empty at the end of the party - to me, that's a true sign of good food!
