    Use to come here often a long while back. Hubby and I needed a to swing by an Asian market to get…read moreingredients for shabu shabu and thought of this place. It is still a great value at 21.99 for Saturday lunch buffet. There is a good selection of Indian staples, chicken tikka masala, paneer sag, Muton stew. All very tasty though some of the chicken in the tikka masala and the pepper chicken were a little dry. They also had gulab jamun and other sweets. Being so busy, food is constantly replenish from the kitchen. It's one huge open room and quite hectic at lunch time. There were a lot of servers and they were good at clearing out plates, refilling water and overall vein attentive. The interiors are neither here nor there, not basic, but thankfully not garrish either. The sound level though, quite noisy. It you're craving Indian buffet in the Cerritos or Long Beach area this place is still with a visit.

    I've been coming to this restaurant for over 10 years now. Service has been hit or miss. But…read morenothing I couldn't look past. Today was some of the worst service I had ever seen from the front desk team. The hostesses appeared to be discriminating against a woman because of her service animal. I'm not sure they understand how ILLEGAL what they did today was. We arrived for Mother's Day because my mom loves the all you can eat buffet there and it's one of her favorite restaurants. The hosts up front seemed a bit scattered and were quoting random times to people. We were told it would be about 15-20 minutes. I think we were seated after 30 minutes. They called us up and then told us wait the table isn't ready so asked us to wait another 5 minutes. The reason I took off 3 stars is because a very nice woman had been waiting with her friends and her service dog longer than us. She was extremely patient and kind. She waited outside with her dog and didn't complain once about the wait. I heard the hosts discussing her dog and they were like oh that's a BIG service dog. It was just a normal small sized black lab. And they never began preparing a table for her. The woman finally came in after about 30 minutes to say she had been waiting and was told they were just setting up a table. They kind of brushed her off and said we will get to you. It seems like they had no intention of ever seating her and her friends. They seated multiple large groups before her. We were table of two and we got sat so we thought she would be next and she wasn't. Eventually the poor woman left. They have a sign outside saying service dogs are allowed. This is not true. And you will be discriminated against and not be given a table. I'm not sure if the hosts know how illegal their behavior was. It was clear her dog was a real service animal and the hostesses did not care for her at all. I was a hostess at two restaurants when I was younger and I have never seen anyone treat a customer so poorly before. I truly hope they apologize to this woman. - As for inside the restaurant the servers and waitstaff were extremely friendly. It is a bit scattered and you don't know who your server is so it is hard to flag people down. But they still serve water, naan, and anything else you need promptly. The entire restaurant was packed. Every table was full and the staff always had the food trays full of items. The items also all tasted fresh. All besides the Hakka noodles. That one was a little soggy or over boiled for my taste. I am vegetarian so I got their spinach and mushroom pasta which was surprisingly good. Paneer tikka was also very good. They also had channa/chole. They have street food station where they made fresh pani puri which was great. I believe this station is switched out each buffet day. The last time I was here it was dev puri. And they had someone making paneer tacos. The man making the tacos was really friendly and seemed really happy to be helping everyone. They had samosas and puff pastries as appetizers. They have wide variety of sweets such as carrot halwa, gulab jamun, jalebi, sweets, Kheer, and mango fruit custard. There is a variety of meat dishes such as tandoor chicken, mutton, chili chicken, and chicken curries. I think the only issue with this place is how the hostesses treat customers. Especially new customers. This is their first impression of the restaurant.

    Food Tikki chaat -…read moreFlavorful and good portion for $9. A decent kick. 4.7/5 Samosa - Another flavor bomb full of a potato pea blend. The mint chutney banged and the tamarind chutney was solid. 4.8/5 Garlic naan - This is the best garlic naan I've ever had. Garlickly and delicious. Perfection. 5/5 Mango lassi - Balanced and delicious. Elegant. 4.8/5 Service 4.5/5 Ambiance 4.5/5 Overall, this is near perfect Indian food full of flavor. I can see why it's on the Top 100 LA list. Some of the best Indian food I've had. Not too pricey either.

    SERVICE - located in little India on pioneer blvd…read more- parking available on street or in one of the nearby lots - ambiance good for a casual, family friendly meal - service was okay but slow and some dishes took very long to be served MENU - rajasthani selection of entrees and thalis - all vegetarian with vegan options available - average price FOOD - baingan ka bharta (7/10): roasted eggplant mashed in a tomato sauce. This was one of the few dishes that did not contain dairy. Relative to the roti it was served with, the portion could have been bigger by filling the bowl more. The flavors were good with the smokiness of the eggplant and the warmth of the spices. - bajra roti (2/10): this was not very pleasant to eat. It was much thicker than i was expecting which made it hard to tear into small pieces and chew. WOULD I GO BACK? Maybe, though there are other nearby places that I have enjoyed more.
