    Garlic naan
    L L.

    The lamb biryani was delicious! Lamb was perfectly cooked and their garlic naan was simply divine. It was an inexpensive meal and is self-service. Portions are a good size. Just order at the counter and wait for your name to be called in 15 minutes. I will return to try more dishes this weekend!

    Awesome!!!

    Biryani chicken is very awesome dish! Flavorful, tender chicken and perfect rice speak out for party of 10 people we all love it here.

    Disgusting looking raita

    Worst biryani. Goat tasted old and stale and chewy. Raita was smeeling and milk separated from the yogurt. Didnt look edible.

    The chicken 65 is best in the area. You can ask for it to be little bit of spicy to feel the kick

Inside place there's not too many tables but sufficient as there was never a line waiting. Food we ordered was great. Loved the chili chicken appetizer, we got it spicy which was enough. I don't think I could have handled extra spicy. The chettinad lamb was good too, but to me personally felt too salty but the flavor was still good. I took away 1 star as the raita I asked for never came. After serving our food we never got checked on... and took forever to get the bill just waiting... just seems they could use atleast another staff member.

I went to lunch there today and split a couple of dishes w/my buddy. We ordered the following dishes * Butter Chicken - Excellent maybe the best butter chicken I ever tried. Tender chicken w/a rich red sauce & a plate of rice w/cilantro. * Non Vegetarian Lunch Combo - chunks of crispy chicken w/rice & cilantro. This also came w/a small bowl of chicken chetinaad (excellent), a small bowl of yogurt, small sweet ball dripping in sweet sauce * Hot fresh Garlic Naan Overall this was an excellent lunch w/excellent food & service. This is the best meal I've had in a long time & I will definitely be back again.

    I love their weekend buffet, but I can't give them five stars. Sometimes, their tandoori chicken is…read moreway too dry, as if it was leftovers from the day before and reheated. But, when it's good and freshly made, it is terrific. One thing I recently noticed is that some of their dishes look Chinese/Panda Express inspired, which I do not like at all. I wish they'd keep their dishes more Nepalese/ Indian. I'd much rather see my favorite dishes more consistently like the mushrooms and green/red peppers, okra, creamed spinach, green peas in orange sauce, and roasted potatoes. (The mushrooms are my favorite!)

    This has always been one of my favorite restaurants for Indian food, and I've told so many people…read moreabout it. I went back today and was honestly so upset because my go-to dish, the paneer makhini, was nothing like it used to be. It literally just tasted like straight cream. I even asked them to remake it because I thought something was wrong, but it came out the same way. I ended up just eating the other food we ordered, but it was such a disappointment because this has always been the dish I look forward to. I even showed them old photos from past visits compared to today and it was clearly different. The chef tried it and said it was the same, which shocked me because it really wasn't. I get that places can have off days, but this was really discouraging. As much as I've loved this restaurant, I don't know if I'll be back if the quality has dropped this much.

The dal was very hot and fresh, the samosa was also warm and the lamb seekh wrap was just room temp. I asked for mild spicy and I don't know if that's why the food lacked any spice and even the salt amount was low. The meat dishes including lamb kadahi and chicken off the grill arrived cold, like they were chilly almost frozen in the middle. I did not have access to a microwave so I. Like not heat them up. In comparison to other restaurants in the area I found the prices here better but the food taste and quality was really lacking. I'm always afraid to order out from places because I think they work a lot harder if you eat there in person. Perhaps this would have been a better plan. I spent closer to $100 for items not even heated thru with no taste .

The cheese is perfectly melted, and every bite balances savory heat with freshness. The chaat-style dish is equally impressive: crispy bites loaded with chickpeas, red onion, yogurt, chutneys, and spices. It's layered, flavorful, and comforting, with just the right mix of crunch, creaminess, and spice. Overall, Moti Café is a great spot if you're craving Indian-inspired comfort food that feels creative and indulgent. Perfect for sharing, casual dining, or when you want something different from the usual pizza night.

Extra cost for specialty drinks like the lassi and for Korean BBQ. Regardless a great price for all the food you get! Place you order at the counter and they bring it out to you, but utensils and water are at the counter. It's a little mix of self-serve but also they serve you. But it worked. Some of our items took longer to come out than others (they forgot about one of the dishes), so I might not come in a time crunch, but the food was all delicious. You can definitely tell it was made with care. And although we didn't get dessert they have plenty of paletas and ice cream options! The place is clean and neat, decor is super bright and cute. There's a decent sized parking lot they share with the rest of the plaza, but it tends to fill up quickly. Not sure why but the lot was pretty busy on a random Wednesday.
