"I was really REALLY looking forward to this buffet. The last time I had Indian buffet was in 2019 nearby Philadelphia and I thought it was tasteless. The last good Indian buffet I had was at the golden peacock at the venetian hotel in Macau and taj mahal hotel buffet in new Delhi. Paid $25 including tip.Maybe this is a one off but after the meal, I had diarrhea immediately afterwards. I immediately thought it might be the water but had to remind myself I am in NYC.The food was a disappointment. Everything that I tried, but the tandoori chicken, lacked Indian flavor. For instance, I felt like I was eating pink sauce rather than a masala tomato cream sauce. Chicken was moist and tender though. The palek paneer tasted one dimensional, the paneer was good.The dal tadek felt slightly authentic (like a free non veg meal at a Indian temple) but I don't come to Indian buffet to just enjoy lentils.... The goat curry was ok. I didn't try the egg fried rice even though it looked really good. The naan was thin crispy and good. Didn't try the vegetable samosa. The Gulab Jamun was ok, could've been more tender, lacked the rosewater and butter flavor that I'm accustomed to.Service was really good. Very accommodating.Atmosphere I rated lower because it was warm and humid inside the restaurant. I was sweating constantly. Probably won't go back to eating Indian buffet for a very long time unless I'm traveling to India or Macau."

"I have a friend who when he says try this place I go, strongly suggested this establishment. It is low key, casual and serves spicy food, what else can you ask for? There is sign next to road but none on the building or door so you may have to look for it but do not give up, it is a gem worth searching for.If the weather is nice you may see a bunch of people eating outside. You may also notice most of them have a glass of what looks like orange milkshake. It is a drink called Mango Lassi and in my opinion, an essential ingredient to enjoying the food here.Let me digress for a minute to explain why. They server some hot stuff here. The heat from a compound called capsaicin. Here 's the takeaway, capsaicin is not water soluble. If you drink water, soda or beer it won 't make a difference. Capsaicin is fat soluble, hence the Mango Lassi which is made from yogurt and mango pulp. It instantly stops the burn and is very tasty and satisfying in it 's own right.It is casual here and when you enter you go to the counter and pick up a menu. You can order things now if you know what you want and this when you should order a Mango Lassi and it will be brought to your table, If you do not know what you want put yourself in the very capable hands of the staff and follow their recommendations. I was going to order Lamb Vindaloo but ordered the Lamb Roganjosh after speaking with the proprietor and was I glad it did. Also tried Momo 's and garlic naan as a side. It was probably the best South Asian food I have had outside of San Francisco. I highly recommend it as worth a trip from anywhere in the South Bay."
