I always start with the chicken or beef Pelmeni as an appetizer, which never disappoints. They serve their homemade pita bread with butter, a simple but delicious touch. For my main dish, I order the mixed grill--it's truly mind-blowing, always soft, juicy, and cooked to perfection. However, their Adana (beef) Kebap is a bit below average, tasting more like a frozen version, which could use some improvement. The small salad portion is also too small--it feels more like a sample plate, and they could definitely size it up. The restaurant is usually very quiet, which means the service is good and quick, and the staff is friendly. Long story short, I crave their food and always find reasons to eat there--even if my friends don't join me.

We were first attracted to it due to all of the omelet options on the menu, so we decided to sit down and eat there and it was so so good.

Would love to give this place a five review because the person who I am assuming was the owner was also very kind and pleasant: I was not impressed with the waiter however. Sarcastic and sort of unpleasant he made my dining experience a bit uncomfortable. I'm all for having personality but he was pretty rude and would rub most customers the wrong way. The restaurant itself is small (6 or 7 tables) and lacks atmosphere and is a bit dingy but all in all the food made up for it.

I've read other reviews that mentioned poor lighting, it seemed more than adequate to me even though it was during a sunny day. I grabbed a plate a got to it. I'd like to mention I really don't know anything about Indian food whatsoever, but I do know what tastes good and what is well made. I sampled everything offered on the buffet line at least once, some items several times. My favorite items were the Tandoori chicken, Veggie Pakora, Chicken Tikka Masala, as well as the Lamb Keema Matar and of course the Butter Naan. They offered Kheer Badam a sort of runny pudding for dessert, which was a lighter perfect choice and tasty for the end of my meal! Overall, the food was delicious and enjoyable. The Veggie Chana Masala and the Veggie Curry trays were cold, I'm not 100% sure but I'm thinking those two choices should have been warm. I ate them anyway however! The service was adequate, initially but later I was never asked for a refill of my soda, or water with two empty glasses sitting for some time in front of me. As well as having to ask for extra napkins.........which you'll definitely want to have! Paying your check was an interesting electronic payment experience. No paper bill at all, but a card reader is brought to your table and you pay and tip right there. Interestingly convenient I guess. Pintu's was definitely worth a visit and a great way to try numerous different kinds of Indian cuisine if you're not familiar. The bottom line is I left full and happy I stopped by. Mission accomplished!

I have to tell you, I have eaten in a lot of Indian restaurants--all over the country. (Not in…read moreIndia, lol). You remember I was a food critic in CA and was actually paid for my opinion. :) So when I say that Pintu's Indian Restaurant stands tall among them all, I am not exaggerating. The food is excellent, all made from scratch, highly refined and complex, and amazingly delicious. Happily, except for the fried chicken, there are no industrial seed oils, no Canola. They use butter for naan, ghee for sauces, and tandoori has no oil at all. Yay! Once we tried the buffet and especially enjoyed the tandoori and the chicken masala. I love their rice pudding. A very refreshing meal topper. Our favorites--Nav Ratan Korma, a delicious vegetarian concoction of nine veggies and pureed nuts in a memorable cream sauce, and Lamb Muglai Korma (I'm thinking Korma must mean vegetables), with tender chunks of lamb, simmered with nuts and raisins in a creamy curry sauce---to die for. And, of course, naan--this time a perfect roasted garlic naan, great for sopping up those cream sauces, so not one drop is wasted. Pintu Chawla, the owner, was gracious and friendly (I read some people said he is rude. I suspect they were the ones initiating rudeness). Our servers, Hemanth and Brian were helpful and kind. It takes a lot to make a success of running restaurants these days--more than usual even. Pintu knows what he's doing. His staff is well managed. And, even the Indian music and comfy booths make the stay very pleasant. If there were tablecloths, china, and crystal, it would rival any five-star restaurant out there. But I give it five anyway for the reasons stated. This will be our new favorite for Indian food--which we absolutely love when it's done well.

Believe the hype, even if the surrounding neighborhood doesn't seem the most inviting; the food is worth it. We walked in probably fifteen minutes before their closing time, and still we were treated exceptionally well by the owner, he really made us feel at home. My goal was to try as many items as possible so we got the fries, the Israeli salad, the original falafel sandwich, and the lentil soup which we all sampled off each other, and there really wasn't a single item that we didn't love. The star however was the falafel sandwich. It was incredibly flavorful, full of the Mediterranean spices you'd except from an authentic dish that hasn't been toned down to cater to the american palette, and I loved it; every single bite. I have to add that even though I didn't load a picture of it, I had also ordered the house made chai latte which the owner was kind enough to add almond milk instead of dairy, and that too was really good, I recommend that as well. For me, the cherry on top of this wonderful food experience was that they have games; yes like board/card games. My brother and I relived our youth playing connect four while we waited for our food, and I can't reiterate enough what a wonderful experience this was and I definitely plan to return.
