"I was excited to come here because of a reel that severely overhyped the restaurant. Sadly, the restaurant did not live up to expectations. Food was mediocre. We came during their buffet hours and decided to go for the buffet with the additional order of the chicken lollipops and mango lassi. The buffet food did not taste fresh and I feel like it cheapened the restaurant dramatically considering it was very impactful walking in with their cool entrance. Additionally, the mango lassi was not as advertised on the reel. I asked about it and showed the reel to a waiter and the waiter literally told me they don’t typically serve it like that. So in other words, we got catfished by this restaurant…? Anyway, if you come, order from the menu and avoid the buffet. The chicken lollipops, while not spectacular, came out piping hot and seemed fresh. The buffet was barely warm and did not have a lot of options. When you order the buffet, you get naan included, which came nice and warm. The only pro for me. Service was also not that great. They did not do a good job clearing the plates despite many waiters lingering around. We had to request them to clear the plates regularly and a neighboring table had to do the same. Jersey City had better Indian takeout than our dine-in experience with this restaurant, in my honest opinion. My advice is to make sure the restaurant food quality and service match the ambiance. The restaurant was pretty and modern but everything else was subpar. Also that reel really set us up for disappointment…"
