    I love Indian food, and went with a friend for the buffet. It was plentiful, and you certainly won't go away hungry. I was a bit disappointed in the selections, as so many tasted the same. The goat curry - which I love - was all bones, I went 3 times to try to find meat, and it was just all bones, but it did have a lovely flavor. I found the Naan not to be at all soft and chewy, but rather hard and tasteless. Maybe I hit the end of the batch? The interior is lovely. Very calming and pleasant. I do think they could do without the big screen TV. Sometimes it's just nice to sit and not have that playing in the background. Service was a bit off and on. I had asked for ice, several times, before receiving it. As most people get the buffet I guess they figure you're on your own. My table mate did not get the buffet, and had a hard time even placing her order as they just don't return to the tables. I would go back, but probably for something off the menu, not the buffet.

    Guntur veg biryani

    Got food delivered for dinner at work. There were good and not so good elements of the food. Everything was very well packaged and nothing leaked out. The garlic naan had good flavor but was soggy, might be because I got it to go. The butter chicken had great flavor and perfect amount of heat, but it was thin slivers of chicken that didn't make it very satisfying. The guntur veg biryani was HUGE! I didn't really like the spice blend it was made with, had a slight bitter taste to it. I would probably order from here again but try something different next time.

    the service was nice but did take a little bit to get to us the food was pretty standard the pan puri was okay ive definitely had better but the naans were so good i asked if they could do a garlic cheese naan and they were able to and it was tastyyy my favourite part was the free mango laasi soft serve sooo good

    I typically don't like buffets but this place is worth the try! Especially if you like Indian cuisine The yellow ice is soft and chewy, goes well with the goat curry, chicken, veggies etc Mango soft serve is so delicious, I usually take it to go after my meal. The place is huge, high ceiling, super clean- staff is attentive, highly recommended!

    Food was good, food portion was a lot enough to eat for two days. Mr. Ashley was a phenomenal waiter explained all the menu items and answered all questions I had. Very nice guy the restaurant I remember used to be on Baymeadows and this location is very nice and beautiful inside.

    This Indian buffet is awesome! They have so many options. It's clean and plenty of space for big groups. All the workers are so friendly and the service was top notch. I really like how they have the name and description for each thing. It educates customers on some dishes they may not know. I tried some new Indian dishes and everything was yummy! I especially loved the mango ice cream at the end:)

    I walked in and was immediately enchanted with the wonderful smells. I checked out the buffet and everything looked great. I chose the buffet because I wanted to try several different thingss and the menu is extensive. I thought everything tasted great. Definitely will be back.

    Mango ice cream, yum!
    Lauren R.

    Definitely enjoyed this lunch buffet at the very modern town center location. My favorite thing was the mango ice cream which happens to be right next to a little window where there's a continuous flow of freshly made naan bread coming directly out of the kitchen. Lots of different types of curries to try and we really liked the chicken biryiani & tandoori as well. Our server was very friendly too.

    We tried this restaurant for the first time for dinner while visiting Jacksonville and shopping at the mall. We were seated right away and I loved the ambiance. This place is fairly new and looks very clean. We ordered their Keema pav and avocado papdi chat and both of those appetizers were really good. I also ordered their Old fashioned drink. Our server was RK Naidu, and I loved the fact that he kept checking on us a few times to make sure we liked everything. I liked how he asked for feedback on the Old fashioned drink he made, so it could be better for the second time. He also recommended good dessert combo such as gulab jamun with their free mango ice cream. Their mango ice cream tasted delicious. Everything we ordered tasted great. I loved their spicy spring dosa that comes with vegetables and potato filling. We also ordered their chole bature and mixed vegetable garlic fried rice with paneer. See photos of the food below. Our bill for everything was $124, which is quite reasonable and I will be back to try other things on the menu such as chicken tikka masala next time. Overall this restaurant is great in terms of food and service. Highly recommend!

    Samosa Chat
    Jen C.

    Wow - everything was fantastic! We stayed with a dosa and a samosa chaat, both were delicious. The mango lassi bar drink was also great. The butter chicken and garlic naan were wonderful. We ate every bite. Service was prompt and friendly

    Dosa
    January V.

    Came here after work since my out of town coworkers were craving for Indian food. The place was clean and modern. Staff was welcoming and had good recommendations as to what we can order that is not normally seen in Indian lunch buffet. Everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. Glad we took the server's recommendation. We had sampler samosa and dosa (first time trying it and was not disappointed. Mango lamb, Mumbai kabob ( flavorful and was our favorite) , shawarma biryani were all amazing.

    Chicken pakora
    Haden J.

    We used to be regulars on baymeadows and unfortunately understand they have to appeal to new client base/ American palate. The buffet offered good options but also not much spice available Today we ordered chicken pakora and lamb saag which was not full flavored. There was some spice but not the flavorful version we are used to. The saag was also watery. Even the chai lacked umph. Service was good and the environment is clean / pretty but not sure we would do it again. Sadly.

    A solid lunch option. I do like Indian food and I had a light breakfast with the plan of being here…read morefor lunch. I arrived just after 1pm and the buffet was still set up and remained well cared for during my one hour visit. Chicken, lamb, vegetarian options, naan, riata, two different rice options plus a biryani. The food was flavorful and spicy but not especially "hot" spicy. If hot and spicy food is a challenge for you, this should be okay. For dessert, they have gulab jamun and a soft-serve mango ice cream. Perfect. The only thing missing was a box of single-use gloves so that I could avoid touching the tongs directly but they did have a bottle of hand sanitizer I used before and after each trip to the buffet. This was a great meal! [Review 1638 of 2025 - 2215 in Florida - 25186 overall]

The portion sizes were huge, especially for a lunch special. Each meal came with two curries, dal, naan, rice, a samosa, and gulab jamun. The food was packed well, stayed hot, and everything traveled nicely. Both the veg and non-veg curries were flavorful and well-spiced, and the naan was soft and fresh. Everything felt generous and satisfying, and the pricing was very reasonable for the amount and quality of food. Definitely a great value for Indian takeout in the Baymeadows/Jacksonville area--we'd happily order again.

    I love a good Indian restaurant and this is definitely one of my favorites…read more Food--9.9/10. OK I know this is a silly rating but hang in with me here. I'm a white woman married to a Indian man and I love Indian food. I cook it quite well so when I eat out for Indian food, I have very high expectations. Ironically, I have a much higher spice tolerance than my husband. But whenever he orders and ask for medium spice, it's exactly right. But whenever I order and ask for a medium spice it's nowhere near spicy enough. I don't know if that is just because I sound like I can't handle my spice, but it happens every single time. But getting onto the actual taste and quality of the food. Their Panera biryani is one of my favorites, though I do like their veg biryani more my husband first appear so we usually settle for paneer. It is perfectly cooked so fluffy and delightful and oh my goodness is it abundant. One $15 container will make at least four meals. My husband and I will get one box and share it for lunch or dinner and then put it away because it will be another lunch or dinner later. And it's not like we eat a little we eat a full plate and this box is stuffed to the brim. Service--8/10. My only complaint here is regarding service. It can take a while sometimes to pick up your order, especially when they first open. And I'm not saying it takes time for it to be available because I will often arrive and see it sitting on the shelf, but no one is at the front counter to check me out. I have honestly never dined in at this location so I can only address the service in the aspect of takeout orders. Atmosphere--10/10. It is a very centralized location and a nice strip mall with accessible parking and ample at that. The interior is quite nice and what you'd expect in an Indian restaurant with beautiful cultural pieces around the interior. So if you are looking for a place to eat in this would definitely be atmospherically a nice place.

    (not pictured, Rose flavored ice cream)…read more The chicken tikka masala pizza was delicious. Me and my girlfriend went on a Saturday evening for the first time, and were pretty satisfied with the price ($32.74 for 1 large pizza and 2 single scoops of ice cream + 20% tip). Only took about 20 minutes to make everything, and they offered to give us the ice cream as we paid or once we returned. We picked the food up and could NOT stop talking about how wonderful it smelled. The ice cream itself is great, though has a strong floral taste so keep that in mind. The pizza was excellent. If you enjoy Indian food in any capacity, I highly recommend you check this restaurant out. You WILL find something that will catch your eye.

We tried butter chicken and kadai goat pizza so far. Overall, both pizza are very good and the following review is more on my preference. Butter chicken is good but a bit mild for my taste. However, I do love very spicy and strong flavored dishes. So it may be a good first try if you've never had Indian food pizza. Goat kadai is great and is my favorite of the two. But my parents, who are not as familiar with Indian food, didn't find it as enjoyable due to the stronger taste. I will be back trying other flavors. Just very happy to have one in Jacksonville.
