"I had a craving for Indian food, but I wanted to try a new place so I searched for a spot with good reviews and stumbled upon Flavors of India and decided to give it a try. Upon arrival we were greeted immediately by a very nice gentleman that sat us. Immediately noticed that alcohol was NOT an option I was sad as it was a Friday evening and at least wine with my dinner is the bare minimum. We decided to stay and give the food a try, I'm glad we did. We were the only patrons at the time and our waitress was a bit slow, she seemed to need help with placing orders in the system which caused a lag in her taking our entreé order. Everyone was so nice we were willing to overlook these small inconveniences, but others may not be as forgiving especially without wine or spirits. The restaurant has these cute little umbrellas decorating the ceiling with a side for tables and a side for booths. I noticed families began to trickle in and all the children were fascinated with the fish tank at the entry way. Now the most important part, the food was very good. I did try the masala corn and I'm still not sure how I feel about it. The samosas and my lamb were utterly delicious. Unfortunately, I don't think I would return for another dinner without an option for drinks as I pass many fabulous Indian restaurants to get here. The price point is solid though. I will say that I presented a coupon from Yelp and they seemed to be confused about the origins, but did honor it and I thought that was very generous of them. I can see they have lots of online orders and I know exactly why, the food is fantastic"

"I read some of the reviews of this restaurant prior to arriving because I was staying at the hotel. At first, I was a bit skeptical of even entertaining the idea of trying this restaurant based on what people wrote, therefore, I started researching other restaurants within close proximity. Whenever my wife and I arrived at the hotel 7 Feb 2024), it was a little bit later than anticipated, so we ended up just staying on property and eating at this restaurant thankfully it was still open.When we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted very nicely by a couple of employees. Since it was a weekday, the restaurant wasn't busy at all so it was quiet...adding to the enjoyable/relaxing atmosphere. When we sat down and read through the drink menu, I quickly realized that I was on the East Coast because I saw one of my favorite beers on the menu...Yuengling! Being from Las Vegas, NV, we don't have that beer in the city, as odd as it may sound, considering that city has pretty much everything. So whenever I travel East, I try to find this beer whenever I can.Our server, Meaza, was phenomenal! It was refreshing to have a server who was very friendly, attentive, efficient, and amiable...because it seems rare these days to have customer service like this. Our food was amazing; it's unfortunate that other people didn't have that same experience based on their reviews). We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wings, Salmon Piccata, Spaghetti Frutti di Mare, Sautéed Spinach, and Steamed Broccoli. I will say that I've had slightly better Buffalo Chicken Wings, but these weren't awful either. Having experienced so many different restaurants in Las Vegas, it can be difficult at times to eat anywhere else without having a bias towards Las Vegas dining. But I can honestly say that the quality and quantity of this restaurant's entrées were remarkable.The following day, my wife and I tried the breakfast at this restaurant in hopes that the previous night's dinner wasn't a fluke. We opted for the full breakfast buffet because for one, I reserved the hotel room that comes with this buffet every morning. Also, it's more beneficial, from a price standpoint, to get the full buffet $16.95), versus ordering off the menu. You can also order the continental buffet which costs $11.95; however, I wasn't in the mood to just get cold breakfast food. The options were spectacular...and the quality of the food was even more astonishing. We ended up eating the full buffet for the entire stay and the food options were the same for the most part I think my favorite entrée/item on the buffet line was the Mushroom Casserole and of course the bacon. Also, of noteworthy significance, both Irene and Angela did such a prodigious job with their customer service skills to which I wish this business would publicize their incredible skills for other restaurant's employees to emulate. They were both VERY friendly, professional, attentive, and highly efficient in every way.The décor was nice but I felt that the fabric on some of the booth seating could use some deep steam cleaning...to include the carpets. Overall, my experience here was extraordinary. I can't validate others' experience, but based on ours, I highly recommend this restaurant to all visitors and locals."
