I often stop in to grab a quick dinner before they close during the week.

This place is so pretty, and the vegetarian options run aplenty on the menu. A gem in the industrial parks of the Baymeadows area

The staff was transitioning from their lunch buffet to dinner service, was very friendly, and let me take in the beautiful interior. I was told how the owner did some of the fine details. When you get a Too Good to Go box, the selections are made for you. I can tell you everything I had was good and they were very generous in what they offered. The rice and the curries were really nice. I also think it's great they partner with Too Good to Go to avoid food waste. I'll be back for the whole experience but if you're looking for a great, reasonable lunch spot with really good food, you can't miss with Karma.

I arrived just after 1pm and the buffet was still set up and remained well cared for during my one hour visit. Chicken, lamb, vegetarian options, naan, riata, two different rice options plus a biryani. The food was flavorful and spicy but not especially "hot" spicy. If hot and spicy food is a challenge for you, this should be okay. For dessert, they have gulab jamun and a soft-serve mango ice cream. Perfect. The only thing missing was a box of single-use gloves so that I could avoid touching the tongs directly but they did have a bottle of hand sanitizer I used before and after each trip to the buffet. This was a great meal! [Review 1638 of 2025 - 2215 in Florida - 25186 overall]

Each meal came with two curries, dal, naan, rice, a samosa, and gulab jamun. The food was packed well, stayed hot, and everything traveled nicely. Both the veg and non-veg curries were flavorful and well-spiced, and the naan was soft and fresh. Everything felt generous and satisfying, and the pricing was very reasonable for the amount and quality of food. Definitely a great value for Indian takeout in the Baymeadows/Jacksonville area--we'd happily order again.

I love a good Indian restaurant and this is definitely one of my favorites…read more Food--9.9/10. OK I know this is a silly rating but hang in with me here. I'm a white woman married to a Indian man and I love Indian food. I cook it quite well so when I eat out for Indian food, I have very high expectations. Ironically, I have a much higher spice tolerance than my husband. But whenever he orders and ask for medium spice, it's exactly right. But whenever I order and ask for a medium spice it's nowhere near spicy enough. I don't know if that is just because I sound like I can't handle my spice, but it happens every single time. But getting onto the actual taste and quality of the food. Their Panera biryani is one of my favorites, though I do like their veg biryani more my husband first appear so we usually settle for paneer. It is perfectly cooked so fluffy and delightful and oh my goodness is it abundant. One $15 container will make at least four meals. My husband and I will get one box and share it for lunch or dinner and then put it away because it will be another lunch or dinner later. And it's not like we eat a little we eat a full plate and this box is stuffed to the brim. Service--8/10. My only complaint here is regarding service. It can take a while sometimes to pick up your order, especially when they first open. And I'm not saying it takes time for it to be available because I will often arrive and see it sitting on the shelf, but no one is at the front counter to check me out. I have honestly never dined in at this location so I can only address the service in the aspect of takeout orders. Atmosphere--10/10. It is a very centralized location and a nice strip mall with accessible parking and ample at that. The interior is quite nice and what you'd expect in an Indian restaurant with beautiful cultural pieces around the interior. So if you are looking for a place to eat in this would definitely be atmospherically a nice place.

Since I didn't have any friends in Jacksonville, I leaned on yelp for everything from getting my nails done to of course eating some good food. I passed this place several times while leaving the St. John's town center. Because of their hours of operation and my schedule, I was not able to make it there for their lunch buffet. Since I was by myself, I opted to sit at the bar. Let me say, the place was absolutely spotless! And I loved the decor! Everyone from the hostess, to the runners, to the bartenders were all very friendly. For the price of what I paid for wine, I definitely had a slight buzz from the amount that was given! I opted to order the tandoori chicken with rice with a side of naan. The non-laced a little bit of salt, but I see that this is a trend in the Jacksonville area. But no worries, it was still fresh and did it job. The chicken was nice and tender, and I left feeling full. Reheated my chicken and rice two days later, and the quality and taste was still there! I highly recommend this place for the amazing customer service and the quality of food.

The goat curry - which I love - was all bones, I went 3 times to try to find meat, and it was just all bones, but it did have a lovely flavor. I found the Naan not to be at all soft and chewy, but rather hard and tasteless. Maybe I hit the end of the batch? The interior is lovely. Very calming and pleasant. I do think they could do without the big screen TV. Sometimes it's just nice to sit and not have that playing in the background. Service was a bit off and on. I had asked for ice, several times, before receiving it. As most people get the buffet I guess they figure you're on your own. My table mate did not get the buffet, and had a hard time even placing her order as they just don't return to the tables. I would go back, but probably for something off the menu, not the buffet.

Me and my girlfriend went on a Saturday evening for the first time, and were pretty satisfied with the price ($32.74 for 1 large pizza and 2 single scoops of ice cream + 20% tip). Only took about 20 minutes to make everything, and they offered to give us the ice cream as we paid or once we returned. We picked the food up and could NOT stop talking about how wonderful it smelled. The ice cream itself is great, though has a strong floral taste so keep that in mind. The pizza was excellent. If you enjoy Indian food in any capacity, I highly recommend you check this restaurant out. You WILL find something that will catch your eye.

But my parents, who are not as familiar with Indian food, didn't find it as enjoyable due to the stronger taste. I will be back trying other flavors. Just very happy to have one in Jacksonville.
