    Lunch buffet assortment
    Liz C.

    This review is for the weekend lunch buffet. Indian Sizzler has a clean interior and many different options for their lunch buffet (both vegetarian and non-vegetarian). The lunch buffet comes with dosa and naan automatically and it is brought out to your table. I got a little bit of everything and for the most part, each item tastes fresh, hot, and seasoned. My favorites were the naan, dosa, fish curry, briyani, tandoori chicken, and saag. They also have fresh chai included in buffet price. There was also a dispenser of sprite soda, but the carbonation was lacking given that it was sitting in a dispenser. Service was efficient in clearing plates, although sometimes too efficient as I'd sometimes still have small pieces of food that I was still working on and they'd clear it. We were asked around 2 or 3 times about ordering a drink despite kindly declining the first time, and the subsequent times thereafter. One of my biggest complaints is the time limit though. This place does get busy and I understand setting a time limit for the lunch buffet as I'm sure they don't want people to linger for too long. However, for $28 per person, I feel like a 45 minute time limit is too short. I can't say I'm a rapid eater nor a slow eater, but it felt like with this time limit I couldn't converse with my family and we just had to keep eating to make the most of the buffet itself. I think this would be a challenging place to bring a friend you want to catch up with given the time limit. Overall, good flavor and variety of foods.

    Dinner buffet

    We were looking to dine at an Indian food buffet in the evening and were happy to have found Indian Sizzler. Since most buffets serving Indian food are usually offered only at lunch, it was a pleasant surprise to find one within the area for dinner. There was a decent selection of curries, rices, protein choices, and desserts. An unlimited amount of chai and fruit juice is available for all diners. The restaurant quickly filled up around 6pm with happy diners. Servers directly serve you garlic naan and dosa to your tables. I would come back again!

    Buffet Plate - Mutton Pepper Soup, Podi Idli, Vada, Mix Veg Pakora, Chicken 65, Tandoori Chicken, Gobi Manchurian
    Animesh K.

    Expensive Buffet ($28 as of Mar '26) but totally worth it. There were around 15 to 20 different items on the Buffet and everything was great. Mutton Pepper soup was spicy and flavorful and one of the best in South bay. Other than the soup, loved the chicken sukka, tandoori chicken, podi idly, chicken 65. They also serve great naans and masals dosa as part of the buffet and had 4-5 types of dessert including kheer, custard, ice cream, lychee halwa. The ambur chicken Biryani was relatively on the bland side a docking a point for that as going just for that could cause you disappointments. Everything else including the dosa, butter chicken, naan were amazing. Totally recommended for buffet.

    - $25 per person - Yes, garlic naan AND dosa are included in that $25 price - Very clean restaurant - Lots of varieties for both veg and non-veg customers - Ice Cream - Iced Fanta Soda - Chai - Great Service - Clean Bathrooms (at the time) There was Pav Bhaji that was largely left untouched, but I was the only gringo who took some. It was pretty good.

    Came to Indian Sizzler at the request of the sister for her birthday. She had recounted the last few times she had gone here, her and her SO food coma'd so hard. It was no wonder she wanted to come back. Located along Great America Parkway, Indian Sizzler has taken over the old Bennigan's. Inside has plenty of booths with the middle section for the huge variety of dishes. There are even drinks like soda and chai offered on the bar counter. Our party of six got a corner booth and headed straight for the buffet. Their lunch buffet is a reasonable price too! Everything we got was super delicious. They provide both naan AND dosa to the table (to get you to fill up). I especially liked the goat curry, butter chicken, and chicken 65. Dessert also had a wide variety - I especially liked the custard-like one and sago (not too sweet!). Overall, would love to return again!

    Lemon rice 5/5

    Wow what a feast we had! Everything was fresh and delicious, I was very impressed by the quality. I was worried because the serving dishes seemed small but in the end we were all full and satisfied! This was our first time coming, we were a party of 4 and decided to order a couple of dishes. We went with the bread basket, palak classic with paneer, bhindi amchuri, butter chicken, vindaloo chicken and lemon rice. Everything was a hit, I'm so happy we went with the bread basket, I was able to try an assortment of delicious, warm bread. Everything was so full of flavor and tasty, creamy sauces, the rice was delicately flavored with lemon and complimented the meal perfectly. All of our dishes were mildly spiced and even our most pickiest of eaters was able to handle the spice level. I believe this restaurant used to be Bennigan's (R.I.P) and the set up was very reminiscent of the layout. There were several booths and a nice full bar. Service was friendly, and the ambiance was quiet in a casual setting. This is a restaurant I highly recommend and I can't wait to go back to try their other dishes and weekend buffet!

    I'm back in the Bay Area now, returning from Vegas. Glad to be back in a familiar area. I came to this Indian restaurant on the advice of a local on my crew. He said it was a fantastic Indian buffet, he ought to know, he's Indian, I dunno if he's born there, but he knows Indian food. The name of this place gives me memories of the Sizzler Steakhouse of old. Maybe they should have picked a different name. Indian Sizzler is located on Great America Parkway, just north of the 101. You can only get into the shopping center where the Sizzler is located from the north (southbound), so if you're coming from the freeway, you need to make a U-turn at Mission College Blvd. and go back to the driveway for the restaurant. The price of $25 for the buffet is the most I ever paid for an Indian buffet, but this has gotta be the fanciest and biggest buffet of this kind I ever saw. Tons of dishes, most of which I never heard of or tried. The place was very clean and the service was good and quick. I have my faves of Indian food I guess and I don't try too many other things, but I know what I like. It's the Tandoori chicken and tikka masala over that Basmati rice. The rest of the dishes are just a little too strange for me. Oh well, I guess some people are like tat at Chinese restaurants ... there's a thing "too authentic". I got lots of the tandoori and naan. The chicken was super tender and well flavored. Even at $25, I got my monies worth with the amount of chicken I ate! The tikka masala was yummers too! I'll come back if I'm in the area.

    Garlic naan

    Dinner buffet for $28 on weekends is worth a try. They serve beyond the basic Indian dishes, and naan/dosa unlimited are delivered to each table. Chai tea and sprite are self-serve. My favorite was the tandoori chicken which was extremely tender. Don't forget to leave space for dessert!

    A selection of dishes, including ski Lankan lamb curry, saag corn, matar paneer, biryani, aloo bonda and chicken 65
    Alison V.

    One of my favorite Indian restaurants in the area - the butter chicken is to die for. I also love the saag corn and matar paneer, and the fact that hot naan and dosa are served at the table. There are about 8 vegetarian dishes and 8 meat dishes, including various curries. Dessert consists of about 8 dishes also. The homemade chai and Fanta, also included in the price, are appreciated. Service is always friendly and polite, and we never feel rushed to leave. Ambiance is relaxed, with Indian music and relaxing videos on the TVs. I will continue to drive 20+ miles to get my Indian fix - as long as they keep making the butter chicken!

    This is a great Indian buffet and must try if you are in the area. We didn't wait long to be seated for lunch because we arrived when they opened on Sunday. The food is fresh and lots of options for carnivores and herbivores. The ambiance is nice and servers were friendly. I liked that lunch buffet included Sprite and tea.

    A little bit of everything.  I loved the Goat Curry
    John L.

    My co-workers and I checked out Indian Sizzler's Lunch Buffett. The company paid, so I didn't see the price per person, but I believe it is around $28. They had a lot of meat and non-veg options. I personally loved the Goat Curry. The butter chicken was classic as well. The restaurant is very nice and clean. This is a great place for large groups. The service was top notch, especially since we had a very large group. I can't wait to come here again.

    Great casual lunch place if you work nearby. Tons of variety to suit any coworker. Have not tried the actual ala carte food or non lunch so can't speak on that. Love that they drop off naan fresh to the table.

    Indian Sizzler took over a long standing American sizzler lol But it is a classic indian style buffet which has vegetarian and meat options. It is clearly labelled that the end of the buffet line is for non-Veg They also have dessert and chai tea if you want any. Overall a great experience a middle end dining experience. Their website has a video of their spread so check it out! Parking is plenty but try not to park in the business area

    We didn't feel like cooking and I had passed this place a couple times on my way to Mission College…read more So we went online and placed a carryout order for veg and non-veg thalis. Strangely, although I had given my phone number, I never got a text message that my order was ready for pick up. However, they had estimated the time and so I left and arrived and they were just packing my order. They took the time to ask if I wanted the veggie dishes packed in a separate bag from the non-veg which I found to be very thoughtful. If you do choose to dine in, the space is simple and unprepossessing. There are some booths along the wall and tables in the room and a nice stencil of peacocks. If you care to do so, you can walk over to the counter and look into the kitchen I came home and found that all our food was hot to piping hot, still which is good. Oh! The karela was delicious. I have seen some people complain in their reviews that the non-veg thali did not have enough meat, particularly lamb. I was happy with the quantity of chicken and mutton in my order. We even had enough for leftovers for the following day. If you are a member of one of these frequent flyer dining programs, then you may find you also receive some additional points for your custom. I did!

    Not worth the visit. Meager portions in play-set utensils…read more The service is humble and slow. The mango lassi was decent, rest all was just cooked spices. The vegetarian meal had no vegetables and the bones had barely any meat on them. We were group of 6, and none of us were satisfied from their meal and we each paid about $25 for our food. One guy received his meal after all 5 were done and believe us we all tried to wait for his meal. Not worth the time and money. I will never go back and wouldn't recommend anyone. The flavors might cater to some but not my kind of meal.

    SERVICE - located off of el Camino real…read more- small parking lot in front can get crowded during busier hours like weekends and Friday evenings - expect a wait of at least 30 minutes during busier times - order at the area in the front and then find a table for the food to be brought to you - complementary chutneys and sambar served with every order - service is fast - self service take out containers in the back of the dining area MENU - homestyle South Indian food - all vegetarian with ample vegan options - average price FOOD - enne masala dosa (10/10): crispy and fluffy dosa filled with potato masala and served with chutneys and sambar. This is the vegan version of the benne dosa that is usually made with ghee. The dosa is different than standard dosas as it is very crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy in the middle. It is quite oily but that is to be expected from a dish that is normally made with generous drizzles of ghee. - ratna cafe sambar idli (8/10): two pieces of idli soaked in a pearl onion sambar. The pearl onions make this sambar unique by adding a slight sweetness and tang. The idli soaks up the sambar so i would recommend eating it fresh so that it does not get soggy. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! The food is reasonably priced and has tastes like home cooked food.

    This place is exactly across from PAMF on El Camino (near San Tomas Expressway). Small and cute…read more Inside is cute and refreshing - effort has been put into the interior. Food we ordered: 1) Dilkush Dabeli: amazing I loved it 2) Pav Bhaji: good, Bhaji needs less butter and less purée-ing 3) paneer sandwich (I forgot the name): heavy. Lays chips: I'm not a big fan, Green chutney served along side was watery and not something I would eat. Service: the guys were fast, kind and sincere. Since I loved my dilkush dabeli I'll be coming back again (and that's why I gave it 5 stars)

    A Solid Spot for Your Street Food Cravings :…read more This is a decent place that definitely lives up to its name, if you are craving Pav Bhaji, this is exactly where you want to be. The Food: I have to give the Pav Bhaji a solid 5 stars. They have all the options you could want to try out (like the Amul Pav Bhaji), and it hits the spot perfectly. The bhaji comes out generously topped with shredded cheese, accompanied by perfectly toasted, buttery pav, fresh diced onions, and a lime wedge. They also offer the "more" part of their namesake, which includes street food staples like Vada Pav, loaded Paneer and Veg Sandwiches (served with a great green chutney and a side of chips), and chaat. The Dahi Puri (listed as S.P.D.P.) looks great and comes beautifully topped with yogurt, sev, and fresh pomegranate seeds. You can also wash everything down with some authentic Amruttulya chai or a refreshing glass of chaas. The interior is casual, clean, and has plenty of seating, making it a great spot for a quick bite. However, true to its name, the menu doesn't stretch much further beyond these specific street food staples. If you are looking for an expansive, full-course menu, you won't find it here. Overall: 5 stars for the Pav Bhaji, but giving it a solid 4 stars overall for the rest of the items and the limited menu scope. Definitely worth a stop when that specific craving hits!
