Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Great taste, perfect location, comfortable seating and parking. Authentic indian taste, especially paneer mutter masala was wonderful. Masala lassi and tandoori roti were healthy and tasty. The whole place has noce hygiene.

Found the buffet spread quite yummy friendly with moderate spices, unlike many Indian restaurants in the US. Tasty and clean. They have good bar too for those who would want a glass of wine and spirits. Good ambience and value for money

We stumbled upon this place totally unexpected, on our way to big basin we wanted to stop by for a quick lunch on a Saturday and was pleasantly surprised with a lot of things. Below is my detailed review of the place food and service: 1. The place is super well maintained, it’s spacious it’s clean ,it’s cozy and the warm sunlight seeping in makes it look really nice. 2. The food was served on buffet and didn’t have a crazy lavish menu, just decent enough to satisfy your appetite, but don’t fooled at that. There is a pretty good spread, there are a good number of flavoured chutneys(pestos) that go well with the simple salad starter options. 3. They have decent appetisers for today they had potato fritters and Grilled vegetables(Tandori vegetables). Which was super nice and absolutely non-spicy. 4. The main course is pretty decent , it was 2 vegetarian curries ( for the day it was cauliflower and potatoes mashed and another paneer + vegetables curry) very subtly flavoured and pretty decent enough and non spicy. 5. As for the meat based main course they have lamb and chicken( I didn’t try so don’t no comments on that 😁). 6. The rice was very simple saffron flavoured rice and a mixed lentil curry. ( I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT SOMETHING ABOUT THE RICE AND THAT IS, THE RICE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO SODIUM BICARBONATE) which was huge huge blessing unlike most other places that add insane amounts of baking soda in food. 7. The dessert was a simple mango panna kota which was nice. 8. The breads were served on the table freshly made which was really cool. 9. The buffet also comes a complimentary drink which ranged both alcohol and nonalcoholic. 10. The service isn’t great they barely check on you, if you need anything at all. 11. It’s definitely on higher price side than usually places but I guess that’s how it is. 12. Over all the food is pretty decent and has no sodium bicarbonate( baking soda) which is good cause else it would leave you bloated for hours. 13. The only drawback I found was even though it was a bit late, they didn’t choose to refill the buffet, which is okay but I think for the price we paid I would expect fresh refills. 14. They have a huge banner of Gayatri Mantra (a religion Hindu holy phrase) right above the service place. Which is very thoughtful. Like taking pride in one’s religion and culture.( We really liked it) If we are ever in the area I’d love to go back there again.
