The interior looked like there are still decorating, the walls seemed pretty empty. The restaurant was empty when I went in so I was a little wary since it was dinner time. There were a lot of take out though. The food was great! I ordered the Butter Chicken and it was creamy and had great flavors, the chicken was nicely cooked and melted when eating. The garlic naan was nicely buttered and I heated it up as leftovers and it still tasted good! The waitress/possible owner was super nice. Even though we were the only people there, she still super attentive and efficient 10/10 service for sure!

I absolutely…read moreloved the buffet and have been to it twice now -- once with my wife and two kids, and the next with a busload of extended family because it was so good. Great selection in the buffet of meats and veggie dishes. The butter chicken and muttar paneer were far beyond any Indian buffet quality that I've had previously, and are on par with a la carte dishes made at good Indian restaurants. And I'm from Vancouver where there's an abundance of good Indian restaurants. What really stole the show for us were the naan. Without even ordering, we were given perfect naan bread fresh out of the oven, piping hot, golden brown crispy and fluffy. If I had the stomach capacity, I'd be stuffing my face with it all day. Best of all, this bottomless naan is complimentary. Had a chance to chat with the owners too, a husband/wife duo. Truly kind and big-hearted people, going far out of their way to help community members in need. I won't go into details here but I'm glad they're part of the community and we'll be regulars for sure.

We had a high bar because we had just gone to an Indian restaurant in Chicago that was over the top good. Sizzling Tandoor met that bar. It was just as good as Chicago. Many reviews mentioned the Rogan Josh Lamb so we ordered that and balanced it off with Chicken Tikka Masala. We each ate half of each entree. A side of plain Naan completed the meal. We like hot food and we're going to order hot, but our server, Muskan, convinced us to get medium hot. It was perfect. Muskan was attentive but didn't hover. She engaged us in a nice convo after our meal and was very pleasant. The most difficult part was deciding which we liked better. The lamb won, but only by a small margin. Both were excellent.

He suggested the Tikka Masala Chicken for my meal and it was bursting with flavours, perfect heat and delicious. The samosas were by far the best I have had, the filling was bursting at seams and extremely well portioned and for a great price. Naan was crispy and chewy and perfect cooked! Their entire menu is extremely well priced, which was a pleasant surprise. The next visit will be happening sooner rather than later

It is now my favourite place for indian, I will not even try any other place, the food came so piping hot and quickly that we didn't need to re heat and the multitude of flavours were unbelievable!

It was decent, providing a mild and edible baseline, but nothing memorable. * **Kadhai Paneer:** Marketed as a house specialty, yet it completely missed the mark. The dish was a total mess featuring an overly rich, heavy-handed gravy that swallowed any authentic flavor, completely missing the signature crisp bell peppers that define the dish. * **Baingan Bharta:** Suffered from an identity crisis, containing far too many peas rather than focusing on the smoky roasted eggplant base. * **Naans:** Dense, rubbery, and a sorry excuse for traditional Indian flatbread.
