This a review for their amazing buffet. For a reasonable cost of $12.99 (Tuesday-Friday from 11 AM-…read more3pm) you can try an endless amount of such delicious and flavorful array of dishes. They seem to have a daily rotation of dishes, which is nice. This affordable price is personally what keeps us coming back for more, especially with everything getting so expensive in this current economy. Ambience: The restaurant is quite large and can accommodate a lot of guests. Buffet: Everything is kept clean and they are constantly checking the dishes to see if they need to be refilled or swapped with a fresh batch. The butter chicken and fish pakora are also delicious. They also ask what naan you'd like and I always order the garlic one. Keep in mind it's a bit of a wait as they make it fresh to order. The bread is so soft, fluffy, and flavorful The staff are highly friendly and observant. They always ensure we have enough water and I really appreciate it. I can't wait to come here for the dinner service and try the other dishes they have to offer from their standard menu.

I've never had a waiter answer a call mid way from ordering. I found it odd but after a while, it made sense. I think a bulk of their business comes from takeout orders since I was the only there dining in. No water refill even after giving eye contact (awkward) Now for the food. I ordered momos as an appetizer, garlic naan, chicken tikki masala w/rice and aloo golbi. The food was great. I loved that some of their non- veg dishes automatically come with rice rather to have order it separately. The moms were the only thing I found to be dreadful. Way too much cumin added and the sauces were questionable. It came with ketchup and ranch and I thought it came with some sort of Asian sauce like a sesame sauce or ginger chili. Other than that, would I dine in again? No. I would just stick to doing takeout. Price was reasonable too.

The butter chicken was the star: full of flavors, very mild heat, creamy and very fulfilling. I read the negative reviews on Yelp and can only say we were very happy with our whole meal and experience. Fresh Indian food is not fast food and if you frequent any of the local restaurants, you are already prepared for it to take a minute. We will definitely return and try other dishes as well.

We went to the lunch buffet. It's a good deal. It's $10.99 without a drink and $11.99 with a drink…read more Buffet comes with a salad bar and Pizza bar. The day we arrived there were two small (10 inch pizzas out). One was pepperoni. This was disappointing since we went here to try tandoori pizza. We know what pepperoni pizza taste like. The salad bar was limited and the carrots were not fresh. You could tell that they were old because they were not orange. They were mostly white. You know, what they look like when you've had them in the refrigerator too long. The lady that helped us put in an order for an additional Pizza. It took about 20 minutes for that to be cooked and put into the pizza bar. Again, the reason you eat at a buffet is for convenience and speed (get in and out). One of the people in our party does not eat pizza. That person ordered two orders of chicken wings. They ate the first ones and they were tasty. When the person bite into the second order of wings, they were cold. They were cooked, but they were cold. Cold like in just out of the refrigerator cold. Very unappealing. 6 wings cost $11.95. We went and told the lady that the wings were cold. She asked what other flavor we would like and we gave her flavor. We waited about 15 to 20 minutes and she came out with one wing. They come in an order of six..we returned six. I'm not quite sure what she wanted us to do. Anyway, we ended up asking for our money back for the six wings because we were given one wing but turned back six cold wings. We not offered the other five. It was odd. So, with the lack of Pizza choices, the white carrots, and the cold wings we will not be back. There were some good moments. The lady working was very pleasant. She seemed to be doing it all because after we ordered, she disappeared into the kitchen. The restaurant was very clean. Even the windowsills were clean. They had several TVs with different things on (TV cartoons, below deck, and a car race). You paid an extra dollar for soda and it was unlimited soda. The tandoori pizza was delicious. And because there was nobody in the restaurant parking was good.

However, what sounded great on paper didn't quite translate in reality. We placed an order over the phone and saw that the truck was listed as being in Manteca, about a 25-minute drive from us. But when we arrived at the given address, the truck was nowhere to be found. A quick call revealed that they had actually moved to Modesto nearly three months ago--something that was not updated on Yelp. So, after an unexpected road trip across the Central Valley, we finally got our takeout. We ordered chole bhature and aloo tikki chaat. While the chole bhature had good flavor, the aloo tikki chaat was a huge letdown--it tasted like it was made with packaged hash browns rather than fresh aloo tikkis. On the bright side, the staff was kind, and the person at the counter generously offered a free mango lassi, which was much appreciated. I really wanted to love this place--the idea of Punjabi street food is exciting--but after this experience, I'm not sure if I'd make the trip again.

From what I understand, they had some building issues they were working through, and then their landlord passed away. So we were SO pleasantly surprised to find out they had reopened in a new location... the old Denny's building in Jackson! The best part? The food is still just as delicious as we remembered! They've added a lunch buffet, there's a lot more seating, and the new space looks really nice while still having that familiar feel. Sean got his usual chicken tikka masala, and I decided to try the veggie tikka masala this time. Both were absolutely excellent...packed with that rich, delicious Indian flavor we love. We also got the garlic naan, and everyone at the table enjoyed the whole meal. We're so happy they're back! If you love Indian food, definitely give Taste of Himalaya a try. We'll be back every time we're in town!

And this was the chosen spot before strong home 45 out. This business is located in a pretty sweet spot between a hotel and a gas station and where a lot of truck drivers can stop off the highway and enjoy a good meal as well. I did notice that plenty of people utilized Uber Eats or another food delivery service. We picked a meal each that was around $20 each when all said and done. The parking is right in front of establishment which had a small curb to walk up the front side. I think this could be a regular stop when coming home from visiting in Los Angeles. A way to stop and try different options that they have.
