I normally always love Indian food but something about each dish was off. We got the Kodi vopidu (chicken stir fry) based on some prior Yelp reviews. It was ok but not super flavorful or impressive. Was not really a fan of the veggie korma--it was full of spices but not as creamy as I'm used to. The texture was almost grainy? The portions were a bit small as well for the price. My husband did get a lentil dish (not sure which one) which was the best out of the tree we ordered. Overall we were disappointed as Nalan had a very high Yelp rating (probably because of its nicer interior--cute wall with a word cloud of food) but the food itself was underwhelming. There are multiple Indian and Nepali restaurants on the east shore we liked better.

Came for the lunch buffet and was really impressed with the flavor of the dishes. Even the chicken tikka masala was great, not bland and boring as often it can be. Same with the chicken biryani-awesome! The tandoori chicken was absolutely perfect in spice and flavor. It made me sweat with just enough heat and was not overwhelming. Just enough the way I like it. Vegetable chow mein noodles (Nepali dish) was a pleasant surprise and the way it was prepared was outstanding! Maybe a little too spicy for those who don't like hot foods. The waiter was attentive with good service clearing plates and providing water refills. I really liked the fresh naan as opposed to having naan that has been sitting on the buffet for a while. This is going to be a new regular stop in the rotation of lunch spots. Highly recommend giving it a try.

OK--another visit to Dave's and a pleasantly opposite experience. Stopped in at around 1:30 on a…read moreMonday and ordered essentially the same meal. Service was quick and the food was hot. As in my previous review, the tenders were enormous--close to half a chicken breast each. At first glance, the price point might seem a bit high but you get a lot of food. Another word on spices: Dave's seems to run "zippier" than most. I ordered mild spice today and it still had plenty of zing. That's fine with me, but considering ordering "one level down" if your tastes are on the milder side (like my usual companion's). Based on this most recent experience I'll definitely stop in again when I'm on The Pike.

The seating area is kinda limited very close together, but didn't feel cramped. I'm definitely coming back!
