Holy cow the weekend buffet is so freakin fire. Fantastic, spicy, authentic and week worth the distance I drive to go. It's a shame all the places in Ann Arbor suck compared to this spot read more

Food was very flavorful, and you get a large portion. One thing that was strange is when u order a naan , you only get half? We ordered 4 garlic naan and there were only 4 halves. It used to be a full portion. The restaurant was pretty empty when we came to pick up the order, but it was quick and well packed! Worth a try if looking for Indian food in the area read more

Place was great in the beginning, but went downhill. Service & food quality went completely down. Would not recommend this place.

Absolutely blown away! THE BEST Indian food that I ever had! And the place is "clean as a whistle". I had a chicken appetizer (Mirapakai Kodi) - marinated deep-fried battered chicken in a South Indian creamy spicy sauce, and the Chicken Hakka Noodles - stir fried chicken, noodles, eggs, and vegetables with Indian masala spices. Blown away by both dishes. The chicken is excellent, and the Hakka noodles were kind of like lomein noodles, but with an Indian twist. Absolutely outstanding. Only thing I was bummed about is that they did not have any Masala Chai to drink today. But I will absolutely come back here again. The food is excellent! read more

Ordered takeout from here, specifically the samosa chat. The food was finished sooner than I expected, and was very well secured and packaged. I wish the samosa chat was just a bit more spice and the samosa less soggy but that could just be from the delivery person. Regardless, it was good. They also left a treat that was very kind! I wasn't expecting it so that little treat was enough to make me smile during these uncertain times. I do look forward to trying other dishes soon! read more

I have been to a good number of Indian restaurants and have this is the second one that made my me smile as I was eating. I went in a weekday evening. The restaurant was almost empty and I was beginning to doubt my choice of a place to dine in. I was directed to where to sit. Once I received the menu I was pleasantly surprise that the menu clearly identifies the vegan dishes. I placed my order and the food came out quickly. It was hot and delicious. The spices were just right. It was not under or over spiced. The portion was just right as well. When I am back in the area this is a for sure place to return. read more

As part of the Tour of Dearborn, found this place via google maps and went with this place since it was close to other joints we were visiting. They were closed from 2:30-5, I called at 4pm to see if I could place a pick-up order for 5pm. The phone was answered, but just hello is all I got... so I asked about placing an order, but was told to call back at 5pm. I called back at 5pm - ordered the following item: - samosa - butter chicken - biryani lamb - naan - plain, butter and garlic Naan's were decent, butter chicken was great, biryani lamb was good as well. Not sure if it's worth driving up to Dearborn for the food, but if I lived in the area, would probably try dine-in. read more

We have been trying to get to an Indian Buffet for a LONG time. However, most Indian places are North of us, and we can never make it during the Lunch Hours. This place is new, and working out a few kinks. It looks like the dinner menu is pretty small for right now, and to be honest, the Lunch Buffet was much smaller than I expected. When you sit down, they bring you a pitcher of water. At first I just thought they were trying to avoid refilling waters, but after tasting the food, all of it was spicy, so you needed the water pitcher. There is not built-in buffet bar, but they set up tables at the end of the Dining Room, and put up Silver Chaffing Dishes to keep the food warm. There were maybe 10 pans on the buffet, two of them being rice. Most of the pans had only a little bit of the dish in there, so you had no option but to get a lot of sauce, or just a little meat/veggies. They did not seem to do a great job of refilling the pans. They were out of bread- which seemed pretty basic, for a while. The quality of most of the food was pretty good. I found two favorite dishes tho- the fried okra was really good, as well as the sweet noodle desert. I will try them again. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time. And believe me I was not disappointed. The food was excellent. The only thing I could say is seems that the waitress didn't know much about the different dishes and she kept having to go ask someone. But the overall experience was very good. Can't wait to return. Okay I just returned from this restaurant again. This time I have photos. It was just as good as before but the customer service is lacking. The young lady that takes your order at the front desk seems to speak broken English and does not like to explain any of the dishes. I've had her the last time and and I said that she didn't seem knowledgeable but I think she just doesn't understand or doesn't have the patience to answer too many questions. She gives you water with no ice and the food is can be spicy. she was annoyed that I asked for ice, which happened the last time. Is there an ice ration? When I asked for carry out containers she brought them and I asked if they have containers for the sauces she told me no and asked is this it rudely like don't ask me anything elses. I cannot believe they don't have containers for the sauces because people do order carry out from them which comes with different sauces. She seems lazy and very irritable if you ask too many questions. That is the only downfall but the food was excellent. I can see there was other patrons having the same problem with this young lady as they said it was their first time there and thought the young lady was new, but she isn't, and even if she was no excuse for her rudeness. It seems they need to get someone else in to handle the front of the restaurant that is more knowledgeable and friendly and willing to help. read more

Dearborns number one Indian restaurant, the only one with a Buffet everyday. Don't be confused with the other FAKE FOODIE spots paying thousands each month to attract customers that add to the very high menu Prices. Been many times since Open 3 year's ago, place always filled with Indian Families eating traditional food from the homeland. I'm not versed in the traditional dishes. Had 5 types of Chicken dishes and delicate Flavorful Lamb. Many Sauces, Rice's and Dessert Mango like pudding Wowed. It's all you can eat for less than a single meal at those Fake Foodie places the crooked owners pay. Great location on Greenfield at Rotonda just off I 94. Note not associated with the other two places same name, these guys were first and have locations in 2 other states for decades. #charminarbiryanihousedearborn @dearborn_charminar_biryani #indianfood #indianbuffet #bestindearborn #buffet #downriverfriendseat #motorcitymunchers #halalfood read more

Ordered a half tandoori chicken that came with no breast and the pieces we did receive were lacking meat, mostly bare bone. Also ordered chicken tiki masala and as soon as we opened the container there was a long black hair right on top. Overpriced and poor quality. read more

I have always wished there was an option for good Indian food in Dearborn, and finally we have one. Pros - plenty of selection on the buffet, food is high quality, authentic, and tasty, the buffet is a good value for what we pay. Cons - service can be spotty. The last time I went, everything was incredibly salty. There are often long waits at lunchtime. The interior (tables and chairs) was a bit shabby the first time I went, but they have since upgraded it a bit and you can no longer tell it's a former sports bar. Definitely try Charminar out! I hope to return for a non-buffet meal at some point, but so far I've only been at lunchtime and I can't help myself :) read more

SOLO DINNERS DO NOT BOTHER! I went in and was placed at a dirty table. The used pitcher and water glasses were removed. I sat and waited for the table to be cleaned and I was completely ignored. I got up to complain and the help was totally unbothered and could care less I was leaving. read more

We just visited this past weekend for dinner. We had Gobi 65, Chicken 65, Pakoras, Tandoori chicken, Lamb biryani, Chicken Biryani, Lamb Saag, Chicken Chettinad, Hakka Noodles, Butter Naan and Garlic Naan. Everything was delicious. All the curries had a unique flavor. Service was very good. They have a pretty extensive menu. Some Indo-Chinese dishes also. Some items were not available due to Covid19. The dining area is pretty big. We will definitely have to go back to try more things. read more

Grand evening yelpers have you ever been to a restaurant that had all the things that one needs like great food, extremely good service & then become a regular do to a certain waiter? This is totally my problem nothing brings me more of a great dining experience more than the service that compliments your great quality food in this case it's some of the best Indian food I've ever had and I've gone back after not seeing this service I expected to see all of a sudden I believe his name was Raghu if I'm not mistaken I don't think he should've left or gotten fired but bring him back please and continue to make the greatest Indian cuisine in the metro Dearborn area. But bring that great server back for me if anyone goes there ask for him if you so happen not to see him still dine in and take in the breath taking Indian ambiance that makes me feel like I'm in Hyderabad, India ... Enjoy and save me some read more

I love this place so much!! The vegetarian combo is incredible and it turns into three meals for me! I order take out from here at least once a month since they opened a few years ago and I have never been disappointed.

I wouldn't recommend the food was horrible... I went with my family for the buffet it was money waste I didn't even sit there for 10 mins they didn't have a good selection of food and I everything was way to hot and bland for it to be Indian food read more

I ordered a chicken go-to and it took 40 mins to get it but the food is tasty. I enjoyed a lot.

Sweetest waiter. Ordered goat Hyderabadi. The okra with peanut was to die for. Good kulcha and aloo paratha. Open late so that was helpful when you roll into town late read more

Being a foodista myself and specially for Indian Food near Greenfield Rd.. I was very excited when I heard that Charminar is opening up close to us. Alas!! All my excitement was just a myth which was broken the day I went to have buffet with my team. The food was subpar and the spread could not have been even termed as a buffet per se. There was no way to submit a REVIEW without a STAR.. if possible i would have done that!! I hope that Charminar Management does read this and make some( substantial changes to their Menu. Serving just one starter and one entree in Vegetarian does not make it a Buffet. Given that you had multiple chicken items, does not do justice too... Make sure you have someone who tastes the food before you put it out there. You have lots to do before you can put up a banner proclaiming that BUFFET is SERVED here !! Also, your price is sky high when compared to the number of items you serve. Also please change your Music try to shift to some Instrumental. read more

Sucks to leave a bad review. No goat, lamb or seafood on the menu available. Settled on mixed veggies as a last result after my first vegetarian order came back unavailable also. Some of the veggies were still frozen in the middle tbh. And the red onions he assured me would be there were not. That's right folks. Frozen veg at theIndian restaurant. Place was clean for the most part. The worst part is he never check on the food or even asked how it was when I was paying. First time ever in my life leaving no zip and not saying thank you as I left a restaurant. read more

Haven't even tried the food yet. This place has the worst service imaginable!! Placed a phone order and was told it would be 30-40 minutes. It has now been an hour and 20 minutes and still no food!! Although they have apologized, this is horrible customer service!!! No reason to have to wait over an hour for food at any restaurant!!! read more

WOW is this place good! They have quite an amazing lunch buffet. So good that sometimes there is a line out the door! I had such a great lunch, that I went back the next week for dinner take-out but unfortunately their menu is limited right now. That is ok, they are new and getting everything right. The staff are all very polite - this is how a restaurant should be! I am so glad that they have moved into this spot and wish them continued success. I will be returning many times! read more

This place is a fraud. I thought it was linked with the Troy restaurant but this place is horrible. I just found out they have nothing to do with that location and stole their name. I had ordered a large family dinner and spent over $100 on food. I ordered fish pakora, mutton curry, chicken biryani, and kadhi pakora. The kadhi pakora isn't usual on their menu but they said they would have it all ready within 15 minutes. There is no way kadhi pakora takes 15 min to make. It looked like it was taken out of freezer. The water and yogurt had separated. And it was so sour that some member spat it out and other got stomach ache. They ruined my entire family gathering and we ended up throwing all their food out because it was so horrible. read more

I ordered my meal mild+ and it came so hot that I can't taste anything. WAY too hot - how can this be mild? I can't even eat it. Ordered samosa and they didn't come with any chutney, although the menu says they come with two kinds. They were not busy so I would expect much better attention to detail. Very disappointing. read more

Best Indian food in or around the Detroit metro. The food is always fresh and flavorful. Their tandoori chicken is always perfectly moist and delicious. I've had the curry, korma, vindaloo, butter chicken, tikka masala and they are all equally delicious. The samosas are always fresh and piping hot. I love this place. Truly a treasure. I have been to every Indian/Pakistani/Bengali food establishment in a 50 mile radius. This is my favorite for authentic flavor that is always consistent. read more

Make sure that you tell them what spice level you want. I forgot to say when I ordered on Uber Eats and it all showed up with almost no spice. Maybe they should put in the description of their foods to say what spice level we want. They also forgot the chutney that comes with the samosa. All in all I didn't really enjoy my meal because of the no chutney and no spice. Spices and chutney are the best pets of Indian food so it really took away from the experience. The spice is more my fault so make sure you ask for your preferred spice level. read more

If I could give them zero stars, I would. We used to loved coming here because their food was good but their service has always been terrible. We live 30min away and ordered take out. They forgot half our order and did not believe us when we told them, they instead said they wanted to check the cameras. They call me back saying they gave our food to someone else and that we could come and pick it up again. Not only did they not believe us, but they needed to check the cameras. Then they said they could refund the order but kept repeating that we still had to pay them for the amount we received. Any other proper restaurant would have offered a full refund. We love the food but unfortunately the customer service here is terrible and the interior is not welcoming and really needs to be redone. All of that on top of this interaction made us not want to go back. read more
