First time at the Imperial Kitchen to meet my brother's girlfriend's mother! The restaurant is lit very well with Christmas lights which really catered to Holidays. Customer service is decent. The food low key lacked flavor I think they should go heavy on the spices and not shy away from the Indian masala's! The dosa was good tho and the Achari Fish as well :)

Nice Indian option on the north side of Plainfield. Enjoyed the weekday buffet, plentiful of options to choose from. Our favorite was the Murch Mali Kabab and Chicken Biryani. You also can't go wrong with the mango desert. Nan was served fresh and service was good. Restaurant was clean and beautifully decorated. Thank you

The buffet layout

I'm am thrilled to finally have a decent Indian buffet open semi close to me. I had to drive thirty minutes to get there, but totally worth it! The restaurant is clean and well designed. The buffet dishes are beautiful. I love that they are covered and the lid holder right over them is such a great idea! The food stays warm and doesn't dry out or stay exposed. Great idea and so beautiful! The food was wonderful as well, great tasting and a large assortment of dishes to choose from. We went on a weekday and there were several vegetarian and chicken options. Naan and chicken tandoori were brought to the table by the very attentive waitstaff. They were super friendly and very accommodating. My niece loves naan and basically inhaled basket after basket, and they just kept bring her fresh naan. Such nice people! Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Not salty or over spiced. The chef knows what they are doing! The lunch buffet during the week is only $14, and on the weekends $18! Totally worth it! I have a few Indian buffets closer to me (Downers Grove), but this is by far the best I've had since Covid, and it's worth the drive for the variety, value, and experience!

Excellent lunch buffet at a great price. Food was fresh, well spiced but not spicy. Tandoori chicken (cilantro spiced) and Nan brought to table. The tandoori was excellent and will be a great take out with a side of potato and peas. Give this place a chance and help them succeed!

Have been here twice in the last week for the lunch buffet. I am so happy to have an Indian buffet near me, have definitely missed these! Overall the food variety was good for me, the inside was clean and bright. Good amount of traffic especially as it has only been open about a month. Will definitely be back!

Butter chicken was fantastic and had the perfect amount of heat. I always make two meals out of the dish. Would recommend.

Each and every location features plentiful parking, a social media worthy interior, comfortable elegant seating, and quality desserts that consistently delight everyone who has the opportunity to try them. On my visit here, I tried a different set of items from my Schaumburg visit to test the consistency of quality across different flavor profiles and dessert types, and it delivered perfectly. The mango gelato here is incredible -- with probably the strongest mango flavor I've ever had in a gelato. The Lotus was an elevated version of one of my favorite biscuits. The gelato is incredible, creamy and flavorful -- and something I'd happily serve with most any dessert. The waffle was flavorful as usual which paired perfectly with the chocolate mix. I also wanted to try My Passion to get a mix of different fruits -- as I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh the fruit was at the other location. This was equally as great, with fruit presented at the perfect ripeness. Extra kudos to the kiwi which wasn't sour at all, and in fact was one of the first items to be finished completely. The pineapple was also super juicy, sweet, and flavorful. I wish we'd gotten more eclairs, as the filling was super delicious. Maybe the weakest item in this dish was the brownie, which was only good -- while everything else we'd tried was great to amazing. Overall, worth a special trip for any dessert lover. This business consistently delivers top notch dishes at very reasonable prices.

Crumbs were left and it was dirty. I called for someone multiple times. Heard people talking in back and no one came. My family looked at me and said we need to go. If the case was full and pretty like the pictures showed and someone came I would not be giving this negative review but I have no time for this. Completely disappointing.

I also ordered a crème brulee gluten free/keto cookie. It smelled delicious but the texture was dense and crumbly at the same time without a lot of flavor.

As with other gourmet cookie places, there are no tables and chairs inside; it's takeout only. Service was friendly. They have a selection of always-available cookies, and a weekly selection of two specialty cookies. We ordered a cupcake cookie, a creme brulee, a celebration cookie, and a keto chocolate chip cookie. Oh my goodness! These are some of the best cookies I've had. The cupcake, creme brulee, and celebration were all delicious, especially the first two. The keto cookie being sugar-free was not super tasty, but it has far less sugar than the regular cookies, so it's a worthy trade-off. All gourmet cookie places are expensive, but these are way better than grocery store cookies. If you've got a craving, this is the place to go.
