"I brought my partner here because he loves buffets. I didn’t know that they didn’t serve off of the menu at lunch and I’m not a buffet fan. But I have to say that it was great! There were way more vegan options than I expected over half of the items were vegan The veggie curry was my favorite and I loved the pakoras! I stacked spinach, rice, and vegetable curry... so good. The service was good, atmosphere was nice, it was pretty busy but the flow was good."

This is the only place I will eat at a buffet because the turn over is so fast. Plenty of vegan option and delicious. If the kitchen is not too busy, you can order vegan nan bread

If you have the option, go at lunchtime. They have a great buffet with at least two vegan entrees plus salads, papadum, chutneys, and pakoras. Dinner is somewhat pricey, but also very good. The samosas and pakoras are outstanding, and the dinner vibe is very cool.

my wife and I went to dinner last night and looked for a good vegetarian Indian food. eating was not bad, but the restaurant was somehow down and badly managed. the hostess who clearly welcomed us did not want to be there and must be better trained. on the menus eating was stuck, and the service was quite ineptic. while the actual eating was in order, I really did not enjoy the experience very much. much better opportunities in asheville!
