Despite what the reviews and photos say, the lunch buffet isn't offered here anymore It is still being advertised on their IG pages as well as Google. Their website is down and no one answers the phone. Came on a Sunday afternoon and it was completely empty. Looks like getting rid of the buffet is a very unpopular move. Hope this review saves others from disappointment and time from trying to dine here. read more

Went for lunch. Pretty average lunch buffet. It was just ok not having options. Nothing really stands out. read more

Aria Dining & Banquets - Indian Near Me - Milpitas, California

There was no buffet! They stopped it a while back. The chole bature were no-no. Too salty chole, bature was too thick. Mango lassi was ok Service was good and ambiance was good read more

The wall design and music are luxurious. There is a slight frequency in the background, but it is drowned out. The lady kindly brought us fresh butter and garlic naan. Tandoori chicken is tasty, and the naan is crispy. Milk cake is rich, sweet, and delicious. The butter chicken gravy is flavorful and the butter chicken is tender. The orange juice is also very tart. Great selection of fruits and veggies and drinks. read more

We came here on a Tuesday at 2 pm for the $17.99 lunch buffet. It's worth it for the amount of food you get. The dishes range from aloo gobi, butter chicken, and shahi paneer, which were my favorite. They also have veg Biryani and chicken biryani. The chicken biryani didnt have a lot of chicken pieces as expected since the buffet ends at 3 pm. There are lots of choices. They have fruits and indian salad (cucumbers), which weren't fresh. The gulab jamun was nice and hot, but too sweet for my tastebuds, and the rice kheer wasn't sweet enough. read more

The experience was just ok. We arrived for buffet lunch at 1:30 and some of the dishes were finished and the dish trays were not refilled. Naans were already in the tray and were very dry. Not that many items were on display as advertised. For snacks golgappas were made from pre made and not from scratch. Golgappa pani was already filled in very small plastic containers and kept open. Overall food quality wasn't good. Will not go again. read more

Been here few times for lunch buffet. Their food/drink selections and quality were pretty good. Services were good, waiters were friendly and attentive. The place is quite spacious. Price was very reasonable. read more

one of the worst in terms of service and banquet service ... Their seating capacity is not much for the whole hall and they are trying to oversell the place by splitting it up and the manager seems to not want to even discuss the options for pricing. Caveat Emptor !! It had been a deal almost finalized and this manager's attitude caused us to walk out the door ! read more

How to lose a customer! We went there for a Mother's Day buffet. What a disappointment on an important outing for the family. Pros: Spacious dining area Got in without reservation on Mother's Day Good variety in desserts Cons: Most of the food was cold - even tava veggies Veg entrees were so so in taste Chicken and goat were overcooked and stiff Veg biryani seemed more like pulav- no layers Naans were not fresh and very chewy Overall fewer choices than other buffets Service was slow - had to ask for silverware, small bowls, replenishing empty pots of desserts, etc. Worse of all - every one of us felt way too heavy and acidic by that evening, even when none of us went for seconds on anything. Overall it seemed like their main business was next door - the event hall with catering. And they just cooked a bit more of that customer's order and served in the dining hall as a buffet. They even admitted that they don't usually offer buffet and were trying it for the first time for Mother's Day. So we got to be the guinea pigs for a steep price of $25 per head, while spoiling a special day. And the subtle nudge of suggested tips was ready as always when you pay with Square. Need to learn to conquer my sense of social shame and click boldly on 'no tip' when faced with such blatantly poor product and service. Will not be going here again! read more

The food (for dinner) is excellent. It has a wonderful ambience. Service is good as well. I do not know if lunch is buffet

Genuinely shit, i wish i could give it 0 stars, the food was cold and i could tell everything was store bought, the orange juice was from minute maid, the guava was from costco, the butter chicken literally tasted like i was drinking melted butter. Our table was also dirty. i have no clue how they got there business license. please do not come here read more

Food was good if not excellent. Service sucked. It's no wonder we were the only people in the place during the mid lunch rush. As two couples we were clear about the split check when ordering, but splitting the single check turned into a frustrating situation. An overcharge only added to our annoyance. The restroom motion sensing faucets were not working & earned a shrug from the server. Buffet is only in the name and is long gone. Skip this place unless it's going to be a practical joke. read more

Great food! Lot of options. Friendly service. Clean place. They have big banquet halls as well to hold events. It's spacious!!

Just recently discovered they offered the lunch buffet option again. Came around 11:30 for the buffet. Maybe one or two dishes were not ready yet when I started grabbing food. The dishes did come out as meal progressed. I liked all of the vegetarian dishes. I only tried a few dishes that had meat, and they were decent. The only dish that I did not like was the fish curry. It wasn't terrible by all means, but it was like barely serviceable. Kind of nice that they have some chaats like pani puri, and they had some juices to try. I wish there were maybe like 3-4 more dishes to choose from. Before they stopped offering a buffet(pre-pandemic), this place had a large variety. Some staples that I see in most of the other Indian buffets were missing, like saag/palak paneer and some sort of veg pakora. Maybe it's just part of a rotation and I happened to come on a day that they did not serve them. The naan is not cooked to order, but I didn't try asking for freshly made. They are just sitting in a serving tray and being slowly steamed and getting limp over time. read more

It isn't my first time at Aria's. I looove me some good buffet or even just a fancy ambience during my favorite activity (eating) The aesthetics This place is grand and very elegant looking. I found myself admiring even the details of the wall of the hallways to the restrooms. The banquet room has a huge chandelier. It looks like a great venue for a wedding ceremony! The service Well... I was overall pleased by our main lady server. She tried her best to explain the best she could even if we know that there is a language barrier. The lady who sat us down to our table however, rolled her eyes as soon as we tried to get her attention... without going to our table, she managed to meet our needs by finding our server. If she's a princess, then she might as well just start trying to find a lamp. It's a miracle for her to be successful in a customer service job. The food This was our main struggle here... our chicken tandoori was visibly undercooked. We felt that the kitchen was in denial even with metally taste and extremely chewy chicken. Since we were persistent, they replaced it after showing them that the inside was cooked. Butter chicken was not the best we had, but we truly enjoyed the garlic naan and vegetarian samosa. A lot of self-convincing, in my opinion, will be required for us to come back again. Glad it's now off our list of food to try! read more

It is just a banquet hall for large parties, with no service. It is a big empty room with no character and no ambience. Their restaurant is closed and they don't give a damn to their customers. They have no website. If you make an online booking. There is no response. The person I dealt with was very rude and she just said, we don't check our online system. Doesn't matter if you make a reservation. Restaurant shut down before COVID. One of the worst indian resurant and service I have come across in bay area. Don't waste your time. read more

Had a wonderful dinner at Aria's. The saag was mind blowing, we also ordered methi chicken and mutton curry with plain and garlic naan. Food was cooked fresh, delicious, tasty and appetizing. As I know the owners and the manager too, he served us complimentary ras malai which was soft and delicious... just perfect. Enjoyed a lot of our time there drinking masala chai and some family time. I will highly recommend this place. #foodphotography #foodphotographyandstyling #saag #food #foodphotography #foodporn #foodie #foodpics #foodblogger #foodlovers #ariabanquets #muttoncurry #methichicken #goatcurry #deliciousdisheswithpapiha #papihanandy read more

Fantastic food. I had butter chicken poured over Basmati rice. What a treat. If you live anywhere in the area, you owe it to yourself to taste this dining treat. The chef knows his stuff. read more

THE WORST EVER! Where do I start? This place doesn't deserve even a star! Worse place to host an event. The lady in charge was VERY RUDE!!! She needs to take a class on how to talk and deal with vendors and clients. We were told we can pick up by 11:30pm. My vendors got there by 11pm and found our items out in the side walk. So disrespectful & rude! As an event planner, I pride my self to give the best experience to my clients. This venue did the opposite of that. I will never recommend this venue to any of my clients. read more

Always a regular customer on a Friday evening. Love their service and food. Great choice of drinks and appetizers.

Our lunch was wonderful. We look forward to the buffet reopening. Try the fried fish. You will be happy you did. Aria continues to offer excellent food, wonderful service, in a nice atmosphere. How does it get any better than that? read more

* This review is about the daily lunch buffet only. The reviews I checked out on Yelp of Aria were about the banquet space, so I was a bit confused as to why my coworker wanted to have lunch there. When we arrived at Aria I still wouldn't have guessed that there was a restaurant, because it really did just look like a banquet hall from the outside. The closer we walked to the place I could see that the restaurant was only a portion of the whole Aria establishment. The restaurant was actually quite nice inside. The decor was very trendy but elegant. There was a huge, full bar towards the back. Plenty of seating. I was anticipating that we would be ordering off a menu. On the contrary, Aria provided a daily lunch buffet. I'm not a big fan of buffets, but I like Indian food enough to make an exception. The lunch buffet was pricey, but the food was excellent. The chicken was very moist and tender in the items that I tried (e.g. curry chicken, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, and chicken pakora). The butter chicken at Aria was especially outstanding. One of the best butter chickens that I've had. Aria had a good variety of vegetarian and meat entrees, and there were three types of biryani rice. Our lunch came with an order of plain naan, which was pretty standard. If you wanted some type of service, you need to make eye contact with the employees hanging out towards the bar. There wasn't really anyone who came around checking up on us, so I had to flag someone down to clear out our soiled plates. read more

Came here to check out the venue for our work event. And we ulitmately decided on this spot. The coordinator, Hattinder is not that easy to negotiate with but she finally agreed to our pricing. The venue is super nice!! with all the lightings and the stage was really grand. We definitely love this spot as its near our workplace and easy access to the freeway. We also go to try their food which i thought was great!! Loved it! Butter chicken and naan u cant go wrong with that! i would recommend this place to anybody who is craving Indian food. read more

We had a small family event here at their banquet hall. Team gave us a good deal on booking the space. The space was spacious and clean. Food was very tasty and high quality, such as Veg briyani, Gobi Manchurian and Gajar ka Halwa. We had great service from the staff Sumit, Ashmi, and Vishal. The main dining area and bar also looked nice and cozy. We will be back again. read more

We came here to attend the reception of a wedding. I am not sure how this venue works since I was just a guest. Writing from a guest POV: 1) MUSIC (1/5) was BLARING LOUD!! My ears were ringing during the dinner. I even asked the DJ to lower the volume and my ear drums were still hurting. 2) Food: (3/5) Served buffet style and it was just OK. The appetizers were better than the main courses. 3) Parking (4/5) Plenty of spaces in the plaza and easy to get to 4) Cleanliness: (3/5) There were little bugs flying around and the bathrooms were not very clean. read more

Came here some coworkers for their lunch buffet only to find out they no longer it!! We ordered off the menu and the food was good but the service left a bit to be desired. We ordered starters and when our meal arrived they did not give us new plates. Also one of my coworkers ordered a chai and it never came. We reminded our server and ended up having to take the chai to go as we had to get back to the office. The kadai paneer we ordered was good but nothing special. Not sure I will be coming back. read more

My husband hosted ny surprise birthday party here. We'd eaten here a few times and the food is really good! Even nicer was the customer service.

Thanks to them, we had a wonderful afternoon! I highly recommend this restaurant!!!!! read more

Wanted Indian food and was at the McCarthy Ranch area and I remember I liked the buffet here. Went to see if they had take out. There was a few tables and chairs out. We got there kind of early so we were not sure if they were open but they were. We walked through the dinning room to the back area and asked if they had take out and the guy pulled out a piece of paper and recommended the family dinners. There will be 3 of us eating so we picked the 4 people non veggie one. I also got two orders of veggie samosas because there is only 2 in an order. He told us it will be ready in 10-15 minutes. It was closer to 15 minutes when we were handed an enormous amount of food! Let me tell you it will feed the 3 of us for at least 3 meals maybe 4. Definitely a good deal! It was pretty good but I am not Indian so take that with a grain of salt. I will definitely come back. My only complaint if you can call it that is that the non veggie meal had 3 chicken dish and I sort of wish I paid attention when I ordered and got a veggie dish on the side but man that would have been way too much but yeah we thought having a little more veggie or really any would had made our meal better. read more
