For the price and the variety that was available I'll say it was more than worth it. You can also not do the buffet and order individual items.

You have to come hungry to be worth the price, but I got my money's worth. There was a chaat station, several appetizers, and numerous entrees. Some were labeled as being free of onion and garlic and there were certainly vegan options as well. Having said that, I like garlic, and the Indo-Chinese noodles appealed to me. The signage promised a dosa, and I was beginning to wonder if it was true but they make them in batches I guess, and eventually a fresh masala dosa was brought to my table. I got a day's worth of food and probably two days' worth of salt (as is typical for the cuisine), but it was a great mix of flavors and textures.

We were in the area and wanted to grab a quick lunch. Since I had this place marked down to try and…read moreit was literally a few steps away, we walked over. Entry into the counter and buffet with the seating to the left. We almost used the kiosk but I wasn't clear on the buffet options (guess that one was dine-in and one was takeout. But it didn't specify.) We ordered at the counter and sat down. They said the bread would be a few minutes. I went with the buffet, my wife ordered the chicken shawarma wrap, and we got an order of hummus so baby had something. Buffet isn't huge, but it has a good variety. I started with a little of almost everything. The two rices, spinach, chickpea stew, okra stew, chicken curry, beef stew, salad, and pickled veggies. I recommend trying a little of everything because it was all good. Maybe could have used a bit more salt, but better to let someone add seasoning than to be overly salty. I think my favorites were the beef stew, chickpea stew, and seasoned rice. The flatbread came out hot and fresh. Slightly crispy on the bottom and chewy inside. My wife really liked her shawarma wrap. I only took a tiny bite of chicken, but I thought it was good. The hummus seemed fresh with a strong, nutty flavor. I think maybe extra tahini? Price wasn't too bad. Maybe a little pricey, or I'd at least say it wasn't inexpensive. I we did leave quite full. The man working at the counter was extremely friendly. Walking me through everything on the buffet and making recommendations.

Spice levels are not watered down ;), medium is eye-watering spicy, which is a good thing. Khatte Cholle--5/5-authentic north indian spiced and sour Bhature--5/5-many Indian restaurants in the area pass off a version of poori as bhature. Not Bansari. Delhi Dhaaba Dal--6/5-again authentic black lentils served in roadside eateries in North India. Think of it as dal makhani minus over-the-top cream. Flavor comes from onion, tomatoes, and spices, and of course the simmering. Baingain Bharta--5/5-the baingan bharta is what brought us back to Bansari. Just the right amount of smoky and spicy. Lamb Rogan Josh--5/5 Onion Kulcha--5/5 Pani Puri/Gol Gappa--5/5- mint cilantro water is flavorful and spicy without the watered-down taste. The sweet and sour chickpea and potato filling is perfect too. Desserts Rasmalai--5/5-no too sweet Gulab jamun--5/5 Kulfi Falooda--4/5-the ice cream and syrups hit the spot, very much like you'll get in the capital city of Indian. It is the glass or rice noodles mess it up. If indian falooda noodles aren't available, basil seeds may be a better substitute. Malai Kulfi--5/5 Rose Ice cream--4/5

I love the food and customer service here so much that we came two nights back-to-back, and that…read morealone should tell you something! A few things really stood out: The chana masala that comes with the samosas is OUTSTANDING. The fact that the samosas automatically come with chana masala is exceptional. The samosas themselves are huge, the dough is delicious, and the filling has so much flavor. Definitely not an afterthought here. And can we talk about the rice?! They give you a HUGE serving of rice with your curry. So many Indian restaurants charge extra for rice with a curry, and that annoys me to no end. Just build the rice into the price of the curry! Okay, rant over, because this place gets it right. The shrimp biryani gets an A+++. What impressed me most was that it didn't taste like they used one generic biryani base and tossed shrimp in after the order came in. It was obvious the shrimp had actually been cooked with the biryani, so the flavor was incorporated throughout. And they were NOT skimpy with the shrimp...there were shrimp throughout the entire dish. The people here are just as impressive as the food. Everyone is genuinely customer-centric, constantly checking in without being overbearing, and you can tell they actually care whether you're enjoying your meal. Honestly, everything we've tried has been good, hence us coming back the very next night! And DO NOT skip dessert. Get the gulab jamun with rose ice cream. It's the perfect way to end the meal on a sweet note -- pun absolutely intended. Two nights in a row and I'd still come back tomorrow.

Yum!! This was my first time trying Nepalese food and I was so impressed!…read more We came in for a late lunch and the restaurant was mostly empty. It was one of those crazy hot days so their AC was definitely struggling. It was like 86 inside which was not ideal but also it is what it is.

I got a vegetarian curry with paneer and mushrooms and it was very tasty. Highly recommend!!!

Cutely decorated interior and leaning a little on the not fast casual vibe. They are tucked away in a side street and share a parking lot with a couple of other shops. They give a complimentary lentil soup in an espresso sized cup was nice and yummy. I think they give it for any order. The soup was savory and quaint with slight texture difference of the rice puff toppings. In the past I had their truffle naan which was quite good, with a boar momos. In this most recent visit, I had the momo platter that consisted of 4 of the 5 momos: wild boar, lamb, chicken, and veggie. My favorite was probably the boar momo and then the lamb. My least favorite was the veggie momo. All had a nice texture. The sauces had good flavor. The orange had a small spiciness to it but not unbearable. Good way to try out a lot. We ordered the butter chicken, which was good. The chicken was a little overcooked and dry, and the sauce felt a little watered down instead of creamier. We skipped the naan and instead had the mango lassi which was good, more leaning on the yogurt side so tasted a bit more tart.

Both the kabobs were juicy and flavorful.  The chicken was our favorite if we would have to choose.  We had to have a milkshake and of all the tempting flavors, we chose the snickers.  We liked that there were little bits of candy bar at the bottom like a prize when the drink was done.  The space was very clean and organized with some colorful wall art.  The service was very friendly and welcoming.  The lot is right out front.

I think Jordanian Shawarma is truly special and honestly Jordanian food was amazing. Shawarma reem did not disappoint! A few of my friends said that the beef was better than the chicken so we tried both and we thought both were actually pretty good. We also got a side of fries that were like the standard kind of bread fries but paired well with the shwarma itself. We came in the middle of a day and a weekday so there was no line. I can see that parking could be an issue on a busy day or time, though I love the decor inside and all the landmarks and nods to Jordan. I also loved the soft Arabic music playing while we ate. We will definitely be back!

The second time I went, it was much busier and something happened in the kitchen that caused a pretty big delay in the orders.

Food was good, probably just growing pains. Menu is still in soft opening phase, only three items available.
