Indian dinner buffet is a rare find, so I had to give this restaurant a try. For 2 adult buffet and 1 mango lassi, it was around $50 before tip. Kind of pricey, but also kind of not when you think about how much it would cost for a-la-carte ordering. The food and choices is about 2x more than you would find on a typical Indian buffet, which includes additional homemade items like pizza, chicken wings, fried chicken, and 4 different desserts. What makes this place special? 1. The food tastes homemade, to the point where you will see the employees on break choosing to eat their own food. That is a good sign. 2. Bread specialty - the breads are made fresh by hand, the oven area is open for customers to see. Even garlic naan is included. 3. Amount of choices - so many curries, breads, desserts, sauces, salads, and more. Even many protein options. The fried chicken is even delicious af. 4. Service is warm and friendly, a family atmosphere. 5. Food is not too salty and difficult tummy approved. 6. They make their own ice creams. You can see many regular customers that visit often and over and over. It's just that delicious. Tons of outdoor seating on the cute terrace. read more

786 Kebab n Curry came to me word of mouth My cousin recommended to me And his girlfriend recommended it to him Absolutely thee most flavorful food I have experienced in a long time. So much so, it's been a week since I've been there And nothing has been able to wake up my taste buds The food here is outstanding!!!! My parents are West Indian Guyanese to be exact So I'm used to curries and a lot of the food they offer But.... This is a whole other level The dessert was good too Halwa is a favorite of mine And kheer, though opposite in temperature ( cold) The flavors of vanilla, almond like and milk Are to die for The lamb was great The garlic naan a crowd pleaser The curry chickpeas chef kiss Parking: plenty of it Conveniently located across the street From the mall of Georgia So hwy access is easy peasy I went 1:30 pm in the afternoon on a Friday A few tables were occupied I opted for the buffet which is priced at a bargain About 15.00 Dinner buffet prices are around 18.00-20.00 You grab a plate and serve yourself For those concerned about touching serving spoons They have plastic gloves to put on I talked with Sijad ( I hope I'm not spelling his name wrong.

Customer service will always be a factor for me. There are many restaurant options, so when one makes it a point to welcome customers and provide an exemplary experience, they stand out! From the moment we entered 786 Kebab, we felt welcomed! The restaurant provides a buffet style experience where diners can try a variety of options. There's an open kitchen style format where you can see the meals being prepared. And, regulars are the norm. We look forward to visiting again to dine in-house or order takeout. read more

Amazing hidden gem tucked inside the busy Buford Mall area. I'm honestly surprised I haven't written a review sooner. I've been a loyal patron for years! They offer buffet style that's perfect for first-timers wanting to try a little of everything. The brothers at the register are the sweetest--always so kind, accommodating, and understanding. One time, one of my kids wasn't in the mood for Indian food, and they graciously allowed him to bring in an outside meal. That level of hospitality is rare! Now, the place isn't fancy, and while the food may not be 'the best' in a gourmet sense, it's flavorful, comforting, and always hits the spot. Yes, you'll leave smelling like delicious spices--but it's a small price to pay for such a satisfying meal. Highly recommend for anyone craving good Indian food in a casual, welcoming spot." read more

This is not Indian food. Quantity over quality. Horrible service. Regret every penny I spent.

Well... I was the only person there at 8:00 pm on a Wednesday night. The buffet had plenty of choices. The butter chicken was probably the dish I liked most but the goat Korma was interesting too. The garlic naan was a bit dry and overcooked but it had probably been sitting there for hours. The Kheer wasn't the best I've ever had but was okay. The cashier was nice. Interesting vibe and food wasn't bad but unfortunately not good enough to make me want to come back. read more

Went with a friend and we tried almost every item they had! It's a pretty small buffet but still had many unique options. The multiple booths made seating comfortable and all the workers are nice. The manager said everything is made fresh like home cooked dinners, and he was right- Everything tasted fresh and flavorful! My friend even gave this place a thumbs up in one of the pictures. If you're in town looking to try some spices and flavors, this is a great place to go! read more

Always had a good experience here. The buffet itself is pretty small but they still have plenty of options. It gives you a good chance to try out multiple dishes. Their garlic naan is to die for! I usually don't eat much naan but I can kill 5 of this in one sitting here. They make it fresh in front of you and the food is constantly getting refilled. The place itself is humble and has booth style seating, nothing too fancy but I like the homey feeling aspect of it. read more

In my opinion, this is hands down one of the best meals you can get in Buford, Ga. The buffet offers a nice variety of dishes, the service is good, and the price is not bad for the value! If you like Indian dishes or even want to try something new, give this place a chance! And make sure to get plenty of naan bread, because you'll be sopping up every last drop of food! read more

I'm reluctant to post mediocre reviews, but I feel that criticism is necessary for a place to be successful. 786 Kebab was just alright. I was hopeful because the place was full on a Sunday afternoon, and we had the last table there. But the food left much to be desired--most of it tasted reheated or as if it originally came frozen. Eating out is a rarity for most people these days, because of budget restraints. I can't recommend that people spend their hard-earned money at a place that is the equivalent of shopping the frozen aisle and just warming it up at home. Three stars were for the mango lassi, garlic naan, and chicken tikka masala, which were all decent and I would eat again. But for the price of $18, I'd rather go the distance to Shahi Indo-Pak and get the real deal. read more

Guys, what are you doing? Seriously, get it together. I hate having to leave a bad review for 786. We've been coming for 6 years. The last time we came the food was really mediocre. Overcooked, dry, burnt, no gulab jamun, no halwa, no paneer, hard naan, etc. We've also been trying to get our friends to try them for years. So of course the first time we get our friends there, it was terrible. The four of us go to grab plates and immediately noticed they all felt really weird. They were HEAVILY coated in something. Maybe soap cooked on from the dishwasher? Whatever, mistakes happen. We tell the owner and his son. But instead of taking it seriously, he just tells us to get another one. We tell him they're all covered in it. So he says he'll bring us some clean plates. But... they leave the stack of dirty plates for everyone else. We tell him that's great, but he needs to deal with the rest. He gets aggressive and grumbles that they're taking care of it. Of course they didn't. We sat there and watched people get dirty plates for the next 15 straight minutes. Literally, 5 feet from the owner and his dad, neither of them caring. Every single person that grabbed a plate paused to look at the plate when they felt it. One girl stood there trying to scrub it off every time. By this point our friends had grabbed a to-go container, torn it in half and each were eating off of one of the halves. The next time they got up, our friends came back laughing. They'd overheard the dad and son bitching that they were using one. At this point, the son comes out with 5 plates and tells us how he specially cleaned them for us. BUT THEY WERE STILL CAKED with whatever was on the plates. At about 25 mins, they finally came out and took most of the big stack of plates back to the kitchen. Not caring that they left a bunch. With their attitude I wouldn't be surprised if they just pretended and brought them back out the next day, anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We usually deal with the owner's two sons. Unfortunately, this time the dad was there with the older brother. The sons are usually nice but I guess he was irritable with his dad around because he had a grumpy vibe. We didn't eat like our friends. We didn't want to deal with eating off a torn-off lid and wondered what the chaffing dishes looked like under the food. The dad and son spent half-an-hour screwing around with the POS unable to issue a refund and got pissy with me when I kept saying I didn't want cash. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let me ask you this... The four of us were spending $80 + tax. How short-sighted do you have to be to not care if customers are disgusted by dirty plates? Or bitch about a 25 cent styrofoam container? Or to give us any attitude at all given the circumstances? Imagine how much we've spent there over the passed couple of years alone. Now we're probably never giving you another penny. On the way out we noticed that their health inspection report was now in the 80s. Followed-up online and saw that it's been dipping in the 70's. read more

Great and attentive customer service. Food was fresh and plentiful. Next time we are in Buford will plan to stop by again. Initially we stopped in to order the Butter Chicken and just decided to get the buffet. Everything was flavorful and they continued to restock the servings. Ambiance...well I mean the parking was great, inside seating is limited. Will definitely recommend going after 2:00 pm. We were furniture shopping and this restaurant is between Bassett and Ethan Allen. We checked the reviews. Unfortunately they were mixed so do your own research. I have eaten at a variety of Indian restaurants and I've never had a bad meal. It usually comes down to ambiance and customer service. Can't wait for my next visit. read more

SUPER watery and not much taste. It tastes diluted, as if extra water was added to stretch it out. I wouldn't recommend it--felt like a complete waste of money. read more

Me and girlfriend wanted to explore a new food today so we tried 786! Upon walking in the cashier was friendly. All you can eat $12 each. We sat at a table to serve ourselves buffet. The food was a solid 4. Very tasteful and yummy. The ambiance is a little run down and the Hispanic ladies be cookin up and spice up the air. My eyes were burning a little bit but nothing terrible. The naan bread was soft yet has a beautiful crisp on it. Overall I will be back again! read more

Great Indian buffet! We were greeted by the son of the owners, who was very friendly and always offered to help. Many of their customers are regulars and the business has been there for many years. You pay up front, and it was $15 per person which seemed reasonable. There were different curries, chicken, vegetable dishes. If you're lucky and fresh naan comes out during your visit, go grab it while it's hot. There were a few dessert options, I especially loved the mango pudding. read more

Very friendly staff and excellent food good buffet choices. It is something different for the area that sets it apart

Came here with my girlfriend the other day at lunch to try something new and we were left impressed. Great food that will have you wanting more, and the owners son was very nice helping us out for our first time. I can't wait to come back again read more

I've been hitting lots of Indian buffets in my travel and this is by far the best value. For only $11.99, there is a very large selection. However, I do have to agree about the food being not all that great. Everything was kind of watered down tasting and just didn't taste like what I'm used to. Some things, like the kheer, flat out sucked. I thought that the greek salad on the buffet was a nice touch. So yeah, as I ate, I thought about how it wasn't all that great, but the next day, here I was craving a return trip! read more

Disgusting food !! Gives a bad name to Indian food !! Got the Butter Chicken from the Lunch Buffet -the Chicken Was severely undercooked -such a bad smell -was about to puke!! Goat Korma was the same -uncooked , gravy as thon as water !! Not sure why this place is so crowded ! Food is HORRIBLE!! read more

Such nice people. As soon as we walked in a nice young man greeted us. We were promptly seated and drink orders were brought out in under 1 min. It was buffet style food. It is an open kitchen so you can see your food being cooked constantly and everything is Fresh and tasty. The food is made with wonderful spices but Not Spicy. This is a plus!!! It is a nothing fancy spot but the food was GREAT! Definitely would recommend. Just make sure on the way out you grab a Mango Lassi drink. read more

Great food. Butter chicken was super. All food I had was great. Owner waited on us and super nice guy. Would definitely come here again.

Still here loving it! This time I just want to share the food I got! Love how they got the garlic naan for buffet now! $18 to satisfy me and my family's appetite is amazing! read more

Ordered a few items for quick grab & go. Didn't realize this place open for buffet dinner as well. Place is small. Has handful of tables along on side of the wall. You can smell the curries as you walked in. We ordered Chicken Samosa, Chicken Tikka Pizza, Beef Biryani, and Lamb Shees Kabob. Chicken Tikka Pizza is surprisingly very good. The dough consistency is more like thick naan rather than normal pizza dough. I'd come back just for this pizza. Chicken samosa is not to my liking, but my husband enjoyed it. It is filled with flavorful ground chicken. It was too salty for me and I guess I prefer my samosas filled with potatoes vs crumbly ground chicken. They didn't provide any sauces which contributed to me not liking it. Beef biryani is also not great. The rice is flavorless. read more

Placed $149.88 pickup order as was arriving from Houston later than expected. After placing order called again to request not to pack food from buffet. Father took phone from son and said the son was offended, as if Harvard stopped teaching repurposing, and cancelled order. I supposed doing Indian-style business gives him comfort of what he left behind. read more

Love this all you can eat lunch buffet place! Super casual- about 7 booths in the restaurant- the guy who works the front is very nice and on top of drink refills. Large variety of food- salads, dressings, sauces, always a soup (usually chicken based), naan, 4-5 vegetarian dishes (veggie curry, spinach dish, mixed veggie rice, lentil dish and chick pea) and at least that many meat ones including butter chicken and tandoori chicken always. It's super affordable too- as I write this I think it's like $12 or $14 a person. They also always have two desserts- a cardamom rice pudding and a honey soaked fried dough- both are so yummy! Definitely check this place out!! read more

Really good food! Never knew this place existed in the shadow of the mall and all those fast food chains. The service was great. Although the place has been there a long time everything has been taken good care of over the years. Small place with big flavor. Check it out. I'll be there too! read more

We ordered take out from here and it was fabulous. It was just what we were wanting to try for some time and it didn't disappoint. Husband tried the spicy chicken curry and I tried the chicken dum biryani. My son had some of my dish and he enjoyed it as well. I ordered medium as it only gave medium or spicy but would have preferred not to be as spicy but it was tolerable and so good read more

Love this place, it's amazing family run spot, everything is always delicious. A good mix.

Buffet was great have lots of variety in curry.,more than 6 varieties for naan love to visit again for food

Food was so good and it was pretty fresh too for being a buffet. We ate at around 6:15pm on a weeknight. Highly recommend for those who enjoy Indian food! read more

18 years in business this year!! My partner showed me this place two years ago, and it's become a place I recommend to people all the time. It's a small buffet, with just a few bars, but the selections taste amazing. Lots of vegetarian options as well. There is usually only two dessert options though, and it's on a rotation. But every single time I go there, I have to get the chai and mango lassi. Their chai is made in-house and is the best chai I've ever had. (Definitely put like 7-8 packets of sugar though lol). The mango lassi is delicious as well. A staple in Buford! read more

786 Kebab & Curry - Indian Near Me - Buford, Georgia

We were really disappointed to find out that their dine-in service is only for the buffet (entrees and regular menu items are only available for calling in to-go orders.) We reluctantly stuck around and paid for the buffet, and while it seemed like they had very safe Covid procedures for the stations, I couldn't help but be concerned that there's a chance that an irresponsible customer didn't follow them. The GREAT: the young man who rang us up, brought our water, and bused our table was so so so very nice. I believe that he's the owner's son; I wish all the best for their family and its business. Also great - the lamb meatballs, butter chicken, and the fried vegetables. Not so great - another review or two mentioned watery sauce and I couldn't have agreed more. They should set out bowls so that you could put rice in the bottom and the dishes that were saucy poured on top. Not so great as well were that some of the buffet offerings just didn't taste fresh. I wouldn't say they'd been sitting out a considerable amount of time, but definitely not like something that had recently come from the kitchen. I wouldn't hesitate to return if 1. the same friendly dude is working there, and 2. I could order the entree dishes that I would've rather had eaten. read more

786 Kebab & Curry - I'm not a big fan of eating buffet, but some was so good, my mouth said "hooray!" - Indian Near Me - Buford, Georgia

Came here for lunch which was $12. The buffet had quite a lot of options. Like other reviews mentioned, food is average some things are a bit stale. The place itself is a bit run down and needs some updating. I'm not sure if I'd come back but if you're in the area it's a place to try. read more

I really had high hopes for this restaurant after coming across it and received recommendations about it from my brother-in-law. We went there for my daughter's birthday last month to try the buffet. The register guy was very friendly and explained to us fully what each dish was. I was really looking forward to the Chana Masala, but they couldn't find any chick peas and so it was not part of the buffet for the day. I tried everything, but honestly, I've had better at other restaurants. I know there are some great ones in Atlanta, Alpharetta and even ITP, but wanted to find one that's in Gwinnett. My go-to place is Naan N Curry, but they didn't have butter chicken. The butter chicken here was really disappointing. I don't think I will be coming here again when there's so many great others out there. read more
