We started with the lentil soup, boiling hot and full of lemon juice and black pepper. Mango lassis for both of us, and when we asked for tap water, we were given an entire pitcher of ice water for the table, with two cups. My husband ordered lamb handi, cubes of tender meat in a thick gravy with tomatoes, onions and green peppers. He had ordered it "Medium spicy", but I think the kitchen was grading on a curve: It was less punchy than the soup. Still, I wouldn't order "Hot" as I once did here: The chef takes pride in his liberal use of peppers at this level. (The menu warns you: "This is a dish for stronger constitutions"). My lamb shashlik was char grilled on a skewer (thoughtfully removed prior to serving) with slices of tomato, onions and green peppers, plated on a sizzling iron plate. The chunks of lamb had been marinated: They were so tender! The garlic naan? Fresh from a tandoor oven, with a little char, lots of butter and garlic, and a little parsley. It was so fresh and good! After the meal our waiter asked us if we would like tea, but I couldn't have eaten anything more (though I strongly recommend their creamy rice pudding!)

Great flavors. Comfortable booths and a warm home type atmosphere. Ordered a lamb tandoori. It…read morecomes baked in a pot with bread over the top. Great taste, but there wasn't much lamb. For an extra $2 upcharge to get lamb I would have liked more. It was mostly bread and rice. The rice was excellent! Super flavorful. It took a while to get service and the water is bottled water. Not complimentary like most restaurants. No ice or glasses. Despite these quirks, I would absolutely return to try other items. Worth a stop!

Love me some Indian food. Tried a new spot. Cute ambiance…read more We went for lunch, there was one other person there. I saw a buffet set up, which I assume they do for dinner The service was great. Very friendly and helpful when asking for suggestions. They had some naan that I had never tried before. Went with this chili naan, and it was so good! The food was very good. Fresh and seasoned very well. True to the spice level. I went with a medium spice, which was the perfect spice level for me. The other dish we went with spicy, and it was spicy but not to the point of uneditable. I loved how my dish came on a clay sizzle plate So my paneer and veggies kept cooking while at the table. The prices were very reasonable, 60 bucks with tip and I got a beer. Can't wait to go back and do the buffet and try other options.

I wasn't sure if I wanted the The Dinner which is a protein, salad, roasted potatoes, rice and pita, or the Whole Open-protein, veggies and dipping sauce. I wasn't sure about the potatoes so she offered me a sample and that sold me on the The Dinner but I got double potato instead of rice. Everything was quite delicious but my only issue is the portion size of grilled chicken and dill sauce. For the price, I would have liked four strips instead of the two small ones and an ounce more of the dipping sauce. Overall, this was a great experience and I will definitely try again! No pictures because I forgot.

This place should be your fast food choice, you can also get a burger here and the fries are the best! I normally get a dinner platter or a small salad with chicken. I modify all my meals, as something I want one piece of chicken and two falafels, it's just what I like and it's never a problem. I think their chicken is good, it hits perfect in a pita with dill and I love the falafels here in comparison to some other places. My only complaint is that they're not closer to my home, if they were I would be here way too often. Thank you Pita!

Our server was super friendly and patient as we all went back and forth on what to order. We all started with samosas. They were packed with nicely seasoned potatoes and peas. Ever get them where there's more air than filling inside? I ordered the chicken jalfraize, a dish I never had before and was glad i did. It was loaded with chicken, peppers, onions, and a perfectly seasoned sauce and a touch of lemon. I'd definitely order this again. Overall, a very good meal. 2026-32

We were here for a surprise birthday party. The buffet was set up with two appetizers. One was a…read morepotato samosa. The other was a green leaf(unknown plant) that was deep fried. There were two dipping sauces. One was green and chunky(like a salsa) and the other looked like soy sauce. It had a nice kick to it. I ate both the samosa and the deep fried leaves. I liked the fried leaves very much, with the dark brown spicy sauce. Not easy to eat, but tasty. The hot items on the buffet were labeled, but I did not write down the names. One was, of course, rice! Most of the dishes had nice chunks of chicken in them. The Tikka Marsala was my favorite, lots of chicken with the peppers and seasoned sauce. There was also a dish with paneer cheese in it. Also nice, and the paneer does get nice and soft. Another dish was a chicken curry. There were several dishes that were vegetarian. Everything I ate had a nice flavor and some also had some heat/spiciness. I think the lunch buffet is offered 6 days/week. It's $19.95. It's a lot of food for lunch. It is not clear whether the buffet is also available at dinnertime.

I got Biryani, Chicken 65, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Coconut Chicken Curry. The Coconut Chicken Curry was honestly the best I've had in Buffalo, NY. Being of Indian origin myself, I haven't found many places that taste as authentic as Inchin's Indian Kitchen. I would definitely recommend this spot if you want to try authentic-tasting Indian food. The place is clean, and the food options are easy to read and displayed clearly behind glass so you can see what's available before ordering. I especially loved the Coconut Chicken Curry from this place. If anyone knows another place in Buffalo that makes a great Coconut Chicken Curry, please share. I'd love to try. There's not much to say about the service since the restaurant doesn't have its own dining area, but the Walden Galleria food court has plenty of seating.

This was my first time having Pakistani since moving to Buffalo but knowing where this place was located was almost a guarantee that is was going to be fantastic. The menu features a lot of unique items that I absolutely need to try in the future (most notably the goat curry) but the chicken biryani is what drew me in on this day. The gentleman working the counter was friendly and and quick to deliver the food when It was done (nice and hot too!). The rice served with this dish would of been enough alone to satisfy me but the chicken that was underneath it gets 2 thumbs up! I can't put my finger on what exactly the flavouring was but it was absolutely delicious in every way. M Asian Halal Foods is another fantastic addition to the West Side Bizarre. If you are hungry and wanting to get something new, give these guys a shot, you will not be disappointed!

So they're talking about having a black guy play James Bond. Idris Elba, I believe, was the front…read morerunner. So my question is... When are they going to make M Asian? The owners of this little stand, apparently, were wondering the same thing. And considering that one of the other amazing places inside the West Side Bazaar is "007 Asian Food", I think they're trying to tell us something. What to get: Chicken Karahi, or Egg Curry. What not to get: garrotted by one of Q's gadgets. Absolutely spectacular Indian food hidden away in the wonderful West Side Bazaar. One of the newer stands this place specializes in the egg Curry and especially the car. Chicken Karahi is a Pakistani specialty which is absolutely delicious. These guys know how to make it. Every bite is absolutely wonderful. Prices under $10 in the portion will fill you up. It's nice and oily just the way I like it. Indian food is a little like Chinese and Mexican food in that (a) there are a massive number of varieties, many of which are nothing like each other, and (b) the majority of people in the US don't know or understand the cuisine whatsoever. What most Americans think is Indian, Chinese or Mexican food is absolutely not. It's probably bland, overly-sugary gentrified crap that was literally invented to sell to Americans, which the majority of people from the culture or country in question, would never go near. Such as the dish "Butter Chicken" which is about as authentic as a Taco Bell taco. And as bland, sugary, and spiceless, too. Yay Murica. What you need to do when you go for Indian or Pakistani food - if you've chosen well and picked a place that has some real Indian food, like this stand does - is to pick dishes that are actually authentic. In this case, the Egg Curry and the Chicken Karahi are both delicious, full of flavour and spice, and must-try dishes. The samosa is also excellent. If you haven't been to the West Side Bazaar, you haven't really experienced Buffalo Cuisine. We have some of the most delicious treats hidden around the region and this place is one of the very best. While you're in here, get a fruit smoothie (no milk, ask for real fruit) from Gourmet Lao, as well as the sticky rice from 007 and the Garlic Chicken soup from the Burmese place across from M Asian. Now I'm going to write to the Broccoli family (and the late Ian Fleming) and Daniel Craig (and Sean Connery) and ask when the hell they are going to make M Asian. Speaking of which, I'll take the rapists for 400. And I want Swords for 600. That's not what your mother said last night Trebek.
