“I came in during the buffet and it was packed but the staff kept up and was very nice as wall as the food was the bomb, like very scrumptious! I read these other reviews and it seems like some of these 1 star reviews are just trolls or most likely competing restaurants since this is the only Indian restaurant to get the best Health Rating! But I really love coming here and eating the food and it feels like the staff there are family! I really love the garlic naan..... Owner please give me unlimited supply 🙏 😭”
