Enjoy all day? I think they'd kick me out!
Joe S.

How can you not wanna try this place based on the name? And it was everything I expected, which wasn't really a high bar based on the "Sizzler" name. Like most Indian Buffets, they bring the Naan to your table, so it's fresh and this version was pretty good. They also brought Dosa (I hadn't had before) which was good at first, but I guess you have to eat it hot. The food wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible either, kinda like the OG Sizzler. I had a couple of plates of food and nothing really stood out. They had about 10 different choices for food, some cold items, and some desserts. The setup seemed like they didn't really remodel the space for a buffet. I don't think I'd go back based on the price and the quality. But it was quick and easy which is what I was looking for.

Indian sizzler FTW! Honestly, you cannot beat $25 lunch or dinner buffet. They have such an amazing and massive buffet line with a variety of veggie and non-veggie options. The venue is also nice and clean. They have such an amazing staff! Oh, did I mention garlic butter naan and dosa are also included along with a particular soda of the day (coke/sprite/orange)?

FINALLY got to try and it did not disappoint. I'm not Indian, but all the other customers were, so I immediately knew it was gonna be good. WHAT AYCE Indian food from northern and southern India: chicken, fish, lamb, vegan, appetizers, desserts (plural!). Delicious! We tried stuff that we might never order in a regular Indian restaurant. COST $25 weekdays $28 weekends is VERY REASONABLE to me for a place that has no limit on what you can consume. We went on a Friday night, no time limit for us, but if they are super crowded I can see how they might put a time limit. FOOD 10/10 I wish I took a picture of the buffet line but I didn't want to be weird. There were so many choices, and several dessert items too, including soft serve ice cream, this place is a gem. Everything was awesome! They now have a breakfast buffet too, next time I'm back in the area I'd love to try that!

We came here for lunch with our Indian friend. It was all you can eat buffet. I tried different chicken versions. It was delicious. They also have salad and many desserts options. I can't names all the things we ate. You will definitely get full. I also ordered mango meltdown - icy drink, it was delicious. Drink is a separate order. Service was friendly. They do bring fresh, hot nan bread. It is an indoor dining. Family friendly.

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.

- $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
Vanessa P.

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.

Lunch buffet on a Friday.  $28.00
Tee S.

Accidental find, Benihana's apparently bellied up at some point. Voila new location for "Indian Sizzler". Not many renovations as you enter half the old bar seating area is the area in which their buffet is displayed. Alot of display's of happy hour promotions, catering, pricing which none reflected on aspect of the business or the other (website). Friday afternoon is apparently considered a weekend buffet even though there are many business's around for a quick biz lunch. So we were charged the 'weekend buffet' pricing per person. Around $28. The buffet is on the massive side. Northern, Southern and probably a couple other regions of Indian food. It's rare I get a Indian buffet with so many options. Was happy sambar was available, medu vada, idli's. But also tried out some dishes never heard of. Upon seating we were brought both naan and dosa. Coconut and tamarind chutney was a nice surprise also. Chicken option and fish were done well. I can't remember exactly what recipe as tried a lil taste of many, but the point is they cook their meat and fish well with great flavor balance. There were a handful of goat options also. Never had a chickpea salad like they offered nor bitter gourd pickle! Loved that chickpea salad. As for the bitter gourd pickle, it was a good pickle recipe but if familiar with bitter gourd, it was 'unique'. Too full for dessert but it does exist. It's on the keeper list.

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!

Roshan T.

DO NOT EAT HERE - YOUR CAR WILL GET BROKEN INTO Came to eat here and our vehicle was broken into. The restaurant was super unhelpful in recovering video footage and was irritated that we were in distress! We were told by others that this area is prone to break ins!! The food here is not even good enough to get your car broken into. Terrible service in a dangerous area!!

Chicken Tikka Masala was delicious
Sir C.

Well, where do I start! The atmosphere is good, well lit, decorated elegantly! Great customer service and delicious food!

Garlic naan

We came in after the lunch rush, and the restaurant had plenty of open seats. Even so, service was slow and we had to ask for everything. Then the manager and owner asked us to move tables because that's where they like to hold their meetings. We declined, but being asked at all, with so many other tables available, was disappointing. After the week I'd had, I wanted to feel welcome at a place I love, and I didn't. I hope this was just an off day, because the food has earned my loyalty over the years. But guests who are already seated and enjoying a meal shouldn't be asked to give up their table for a staff meeting, especially when there are plenty of other places to meet.

The service was top notch, all the servers and wait staff have great energy and move quickly! My server Roxanne was attentive, kind and helpful in deciding on what to get. I started with the Cookie Monster Latte, a cookie butter brown sugar latte with cold foam, a brown sugar, cookie crumb rim, Biscoff cookie crumbles and topped with a Biscoff cookie. 10 out of 10 would recommend! To start I ordered the Midtown Trio which comes with any 3 of their signature pancakes or French toast. I chose Peach Cobbler Pancake, Tiramisu Pancake and Classic Brioche French Toast, all were delicious! The peach cobbler one needed a lil something extra, maybe a peach,brown sugar and cinnamon syrup type vibe to it. My favorite out of the three was the Tiramisu, while the pancake itself wasn't soaked in espresso, I could tell they threw a little in the batter and that mascarpone cream on top really set it off! The Brioche French toast is a classic and hard to mess up and they definitely are doing it justice here. It was fluffy cinnamony and had the right amount of egg. For my main course, I ordered the Santa Maria Skillet with Coffee Cake and the Midtown Duo from their Chef Benedict's Selection, I chose one Surf and Turf Bene and one Crab Cake Bene with hash browns. The Hollandaise on both was silky, creamy and rich. The surf and turf was stacked with shrimp and nice piece of steak, I will say the steak was a bit chewy. While the Crab cake was loaded with REAL crab meat and fried to perfection. I'd highly recommend both options. 10/10 overall experience, will be returning.

He then told the barista that she can't give me the code unless she checks the transaction history on their computer to verify that I was a customer. Never mind that my boyfriend and I were dining in and clearly had food and coffee at the table that I just walked away from, or that the barista just gave us our order minutes prior- such a weird way to treat your regular customers. It's embarrassing that I kept going back after that. I like how their coffee tastes though, and especially that I order for here and get it in a "big mug." It's literally the only reason I pick this place over other coffee shops. Today I received my overpriced coffee (~$9 each!) in cheap paper cups and mentioned that I ordered for here. The owner immediately lied and said the mugs were only for regular sized coffees, not large size. I was literally here yesterday drinking a large coffee from a mug. He could have just said the mugs were dirty, or the dishwasher was broken. He said that after I pointed out the lie, ha. I would have still given 2/5 stars because the food and coffee are REALLY good despite how unpleasant the owner is, but they also recently changed their menu photos to AI slop. 0/5 if I could.

After sifting online through carb-heavy breakfast menus that resembled food I can get elsewhere, I…read moreclicked the map ad for Yeganeh in the Yelp app. What a find! The friendly staff answered our questions and brought out our food promptly. I ordered the house special, a plate with a hard boiled egg, a watermelon slice, and tomato and cucumber slices, served with walnuts, cheese, and mint. My spouse ordered ash, a hearty noodle soup. Both came with delicious warm flat bread speckled generously with sesame seeds. The bread complemented the house special items wonderfully. It was the most nourishing and nutritious breakfast I have had in a long time, and I will try this at home next summer. I enjoyed the Persian tea, and my spouse had a lovely rose latte sprinkled with rose petals. The patio looked inviting, but since it was chilly we ate in a bright yet cozy indoor area that felt like someone's living room. A fish tank really created a homey feel. On the way out we saw some people dining on the sunny patio. I'm glad that this cafe seems to be doing well. I'm bummed that we don't have a place like this close to our house, but I'd love to come back next time I'm in the area!

The bakery is in a little corner of a grocery store when you walk in. Just be mindful that there is…read moreno indoor seating, only outdoors. The seating was right by a road, so it was a little noisy, but I didn't mind. The omelette and sandwich were very tasty. The beef sausage inside was really good. The fresh-squeezed juice was also refreshing. The bread that the sandwich came with was also crispy and delicious. The only thing I didn't like was the dessert. It was a roll-cake type, but the cake was kind of hard and dry. The filling was more vanilla tasting than whipped cream, which may just come down to personal preference. The other thing was that the avocado that my omelette came with underripe and hard in the middle.
