    We have passed by this restaurant quite many but always thought it's some dying restaurant. But trust me it's a hidden gem. We were craving some dosa on a late Saturday evening, called them and asked if the food is halal. Which they confirmed . We ordered masala dosa , chicken tikka masala , chilli chicken and naan. Chicken tikka Masala and chilli chicken were the stars. Wouldn't recommend dosa at all. The kids loved both the chickens. Reconfirmed the halal status from the staff. Would definitely recommend. Nice, simple and delivers .

    Very clean and kind service! I just missed the 3PM lunch buffet but it looked delicious with lots of options: vegetarian, non-vegetarian, desserts, salad, and more. I ordered Malai Kofta and it was nicely spiced and very yummy. The garlic naan was fresh and fluffy. Parking was easy and I didn't have to wait to be seated but it definitely got busier towards dinner time. Definitely want to come back for the lunch buffet, highly recommend!

    the food taste is really good, right next to caffe in so it's a good spot to go after studying. the butter chicken was creamy and tasty, as well as the garlic nan. only thing is that service was pretty slow and we were the only party in there.

    Plenty of parking . Food clean and tasty. Customer service is at its best. We held an event here in the back events hall it's super cute. Has a white dance floor and stage. Nice table decorations and mirrors around. Bathrooms were clean and everything was great! Thank you for having us.

    Came on a Saturday noon time for their all you can eat buffet, and it was relatively busy. Quickly seated, still some tables open, but plenty of people around. My parents have been coming to this spot quite often, and I was excited to try it out. Definitely did not disappoint! I understand why there are such good reviews on yelp for this spot. They also mentioned that it used to be carpet, but now the flooring is tile, which my parents said made the place feel much cleaner and smell better. AYCE lunch Indian buffet is available weekdays 11 AM to 2:30 PM, and weekends from 11 AM to 3 PM. $17.99 for AYCE, is an absolutely fantastic deal for the quality of food, amount of options, and a fantastic service. They have a couple of servers running around getting you there, freshly baked garlic naan, refilling, waters, and clearing plates. Garlic naan- so good, this was actually amazing, warm, Crispy, nice bits of garlic on top. Using this to soak up the leftover sauce on your plate was so satisfying. Of all the options, what really stood out to me was the Palek Paneer (spinach), butter chicken, Tandoori Chicken. (I know I'm basic), but they really got the basic stuff down and it was so good. Samosas were also delicious. Parents really enjoy one of their goat options. They also offered dessert with some cinnamon, tapioca pudding, and mango pudding.

    I usually order butter chicken when driving back home, and I have to say, most places in the area make it taste more like tomato-based tikka masala. However, this restaurant's butter chicken truly stands out -- it's much more buttery and flavorful. The garlic naan is $3, and it's definitely worth adding to your meal. I also tried their weekend all-you-can-eat buffet for $17.99, and I think it's a great deal for the quality and variety they offer. The restaurant's design is a bit outdated, but honestly, if they upgraded to a more modern look, the prices would probably go up -- so I don't mind it. The servers are always friendly and welcoming, with genuine smiles. If you're in the area, I definitely recommend giving this place a try!

    Best Indian food in the Orange County area. Not only is the price great the quality and depth of flavor is immaculate. Best mango lassi and Chicken Korma in the game. It was the first time I preferred the chicken over the lamb. Not saying the lamb wasn't delicious as well.

    Do their dishes (like tikka masala or butter chicken) come with basmati rice or do I need to order separately?

The chicken tikka masala was not anything spectacular as I have had better elsewhere. But it definitely hit the spot. The samosa and the paneer were stars as each bite produced additional flavors which continued to build on each other. I could just eat these two dishes forever. We tried the dosa and the goat. The dosa was perfectly crispy when it was hot. I personally didn't enjoy eating it as leftovers the next day. But I couldn't stop eating it and dipping it in all the curries and sauces when it was piping hot. The goat surprised me as I'm not a huge fan of lamb or goat.

I tried the gol gappa, chicken samosa, beef biryani, malai chicken, beef nihari, channa chaat, chicken Tikka masala. Gol gappa - although they had the liquids, I couldn't find the stuffing to put in it. It was very plain. Chicken samosa - this was food. The crunch of the samosa with the filling inside dipped with green chutney was the right flavor. Beef biryani - when I saw this dish swinging by before the people started linning up, it looked super promising. But by the time it was my number in line, it was mostly yellow rice leftover. People must have pulled all the meat. Very disappointing. Beef nihari - this has little to no flavor that you would expect from this dish. Chicken Tikka masala - this was better and had a good taste. Channa - it was a mix of chaat and a cholay salan and failed to stick out on either. Malai chicken - it was okay. Overall the experience was better. Still getting fresh naan to the table. But food taste is still mediocre. The chai was also not right. Needed more milk.
