Reviews

The buffet was fantastic.
The selection wasn't the largest, but each item was perfect.
From the potato chips to the rice, it really calls you wanting to go back! Service was quick and easy, and the value for the buffet was fantastic.
One of the cheapest buffets in Indianapolis that I've seen recently.


We really liked this place.
The southern Indian dishes we tried were good (one of the best batches of Chicken 65 I've had), as were the northern Indian items (naan, etc.).
It's also the only place in Indy I know of with such an extensive selection of indo-chinese dishes (Hakka noodles etc.).
Smokey dal makhni and the lamb ghee roast were probably our favorites, but there were also a lot of dishes we didn't try (yet). Note that the server said all meats were halal but there is a bar/drinks menu, unclear if it is a hold over from whatever was previously in the space or not.


I was there for lunch buffet last week and I have reviewed this place before, I had the worst experience.
There was a buffet for lunch.
My friends n me reached there at 11:30am, buffet starts at 11am.
The food was absolutely cold and the spoons for the veg n non veg were mixed up,the chicken was over cooked, food was tasteless...and only saving grace was hot Naan which got washed down the toilet by the serving staff.
There was only one guy out side with glasses and Generally I ask their names BUT THIS GUY WAS EXTREMELY RUDE TO MY FRIENDS N ME.
I WOULDN'T BE GOING BACK!!
