Nice buffet if you like Indian

by gethebassics , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch

OK, so I might not be biased because I'm not a fan of Indian food, but this is a good place if you do like it. We came to do the buffet on the weekend - it was only $8 for each person, and the buffet had the staples. The best part of this place is the naan, the flat bread that they bring to the table 0- mmm, tasty!

  • Pros: Service, cheap buffet
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Awesome Food, Excellent service.. Naan was Superb..........

by Meshyy at Citysearch

I would definitely suggest to visit this place. I went there 3 times in last 2 weeks . They have a nice buffet specially during Saturdays and sundays. They have a full range of Salads which is a exclusive thing in Indian Restaurants. Around 7 entrees, around 3-4 of each veg and non veg.

wait staff is decent and they even know much about the basic chutneys , how they are made and all. Dresses nicely in White Shirt and Black trouser. I would give full points to the chef at Tandoor. The Naan and Tandoori Chicken of Namaskar are at the top, believe me guys they have superb Bread menu. Try Boss Naan, Its awesome. Kebabs, Paratha's were also nice. One nice section of the menu was INDIAN CHINESE, which itself is so tempting that I would go again and agian.

That's it . try it and you will feel good

  • Pros: Nice Ambience, Nice wait staff, Excellent food, Good quantity ( more compared to others)
  • Cons: Location, you may not notice easily

nice space and friendly service

by northshorefoodies at Citysearch

Another Indian buffet for me this week. I liked this place; I thought the selection was really good (they have a full salad bar in addition to the Indian standards) and the staff was very nice. They offered about eight different entrees and a couple kinds of rice to choose from. The waitress promptly brought over Naan and drinks. I would definitely go back for dinner some night.

  • Pros: Good buffet, nice service
  • Cons: Parking can be tough
