If you definitely want to eat the curry-flavored buffet, then lunch is a great option! Note that buffet is only open at noon. Their chicken curry is very good, whether it is hot or not, it is delicious! There's still a bun to eat! I highly recommend it. My lunch bill and tip came to 20.

Great food, great service, clean and friendly! What a great place. I looked for Indian food with good reviews. They did not disappoint. Walked in, sat down, ordered, served, ate (burped… excuse me), paid and left. Perfect! Also had some friendly conversation with the server. Real nice guy. Anyway, come eat this food! I had the Chicken Tikka Marsala and Garlic Nan. Wow! Good! I like my food spicy hot. When they asked how hot I want it, I was tempted to say extra hot. The server was right to guide me to “medium”. This was perfect for me, and I like it hot. It was hot! Perfect! Great flavor, great taste. Stop reading this long, dumb, convoluted, but true, honest review, and go eat this food! Go… Stop reading this and go…. Go! Enjoy!

I really enjoyed the buffet here. My husband is a picky eater, and he enjoyed it as well. It is a nice atmosphere here, clean, polite service!! I will be back!

We love Indian food and especially love Indian food that has traditional spices that are spicyyyy! We opted for the lunch buffet, not for portion, but for the ability to try everything we please. They had an abundance of items and everything tasted flavorful and temperature hot. The chicken Tikka masala was spicy and delicious! They had traditional curries as well as a variety of other dishes (eggplant masala, stewed vegetables, potato cakes, etc). The naan was as usual, but my only complaint with that is I do love garlic herb naan and this was just plain. Not that it was bad, I just prefer herb naan. The tamarind and mint sauce were delicious. The rice pudding was the right touch for the finish. It was 16 per person which really was not bad given assortment. I would choose to eat here again if in town.

My mom and I tried the lunch buffet today. Everything we tried (except the mixed pickles we didn't like) had a really good flavor. If you dont like spicy just be prepared it may be too spicy to some. I usually get all my indian food as mild as they can make it but everything on the buffet seemed to be at a 2 or 3 spice level. Which for me was way spicier than I like but the flavor of everything was delicious.

Excellent variety. Several vegetable options. Multiple desserts. Reasonable price. I have had dishes here I have never seen anywhere else. Food has more of a homemade character than restaurant - I think this is a good thing. We travel in from out of the area just to eat here. Out of around 25 dishes I have tried, I have really liked nearly everything. They excel at vegetable dishes. Highly recommend eating here.

Oh man! Lucky, lucky S. Carolinians! Everything I had was wonderful and tasty. I was sad, at first, because none of the buffet items had paneer, and the owner/manager(?) saw my dismay and prepared some palak paneer just for me! Please, if you get a chance to check out this restaurant, please do so at your earliest convenience. It's worth it!

A friend from out of town requested this restaurant and promised that I would love it... and she was right! I love flavors and spices however was afraid of the level being too hot for my taste. The wait staff were very helpful, the food delicious and we even received a brief education on the hot pepper they do use for spice. Absolutely delicious! Ambiance was perfect to catch up with my friend. Will definitely return!
