Arrive as close to 11 a.m. as possible if you want to get seated quickly for lunch. By 11:30, the line is usually creeping out the door. But you won't pass out from hunger while you wait. The jolly manager will insist you munch on some pakora. The freebies continue straight through the meal - mango lassi, chai latte and pistachio dessert on a stick. Beware the super spicy naan that mischievous manager will try to get you to taste, and don't even try to leave your regular naan behind. The staff is apt to follow you out the door with your naan wrapped in foil! Between all the samples, you're sure to find your favorite Indian fare on the buffet. The creamy Korma Sutra Korma is not to be missed. read more

The whole experience is so much fun. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the food is so flavorful and the space is always clean and beautiful. I can't wait to go back and try new things, I love bringing friends here to spread the word about this awesome place! read more

I had lunch at Korma Sutra several months ago. One thing I will not deny is that the food is wonderful. When I left that day, I promised to NEVER go back. Well, my friends wanted to go today, so we went and had dinner. Again, I swear, I will NEVER go back. The food may be good but it is not worth the invasive and constant interruption by the owner, the server and the buslady. If you are going out to eat to enjoy some time with friends and have a conversation over a meal, forget it. It just won't happen in this restaurant. They are constantly bringing stuff, cleaning the table, taking plates that you are still using, dancing around...happy happy. BARF. I go out to eat to enjoy time with my friends. I would rather have food that is not as good and have the restaurant staff have some respect for the fact that I am not there to be huddled over and constantly harassed. I thought Perkins' waitstaff was bad at harassment. Korma Sutra completely puts Perkins to shame. As we were boxing up our leftovers, the buslady literally stood there, leaning over our table, with her hand out waiting for my friend to finish boxing her meal. After our leftovers were boxed up, and I again tried to talk to my companions, here she came again and leaned over washing the table (although it wasn't dirty). I truly felt like screaming at them to get the heck out of our faces! ' If I ever desire food from this restaurant, I will order it as take-out. I promise to NEVER go there again. Oh...and all the mysterious charges on our bill? I have no clue what the extra $20 in charges was for, but I wanted out of there so badly, I just paid so I could leave. Next time, I will go to Ruchi. Or anywhere. Truly. read more

Wonderful food in a tiny little restaurant with a jubilant business owner. Wouldn't change a thing. Best Indian buffet in the city that I have found. Just went back here again. It was as as great as ever. Do your self a favor, try this place out. read more

I will forever give this place five stars. I've been going to this location in their previous location for over a decade. I have fond memories of how kind they were when I was a single mom, giving balloons to my children. Giving them little bits of mango. They are always showering you with sweet, free little food gifts Whether you were in person or ordering takeout. I can't imagine a person receiving bad service here or receiving poor quality food. Everything is always hot and most is cooked to order. I especially like the butter chicken, the garlic naan-, the vegetable pakoras, and Anything with paneer because there's is particularly soft. Certainly when I lived on the East Coast I tasted "better" Indian food and saw a much wider variety of menu items, but this is Kansas and honestly the tried and true works here. With Korma Sutra, it's not just good food, it's a quality EXPERIENCE with this family owned restaurant. We are so lucky to have them here locally. read more

I go for the lunch buffet, it's really a good deal IMO. Friendly staff, and the curry is really good! I really like the chia tea they serve, and the Naan bread read more

I have been eating Indian cuisine now for the past 12 years or so and I love it. In fact, we were on a Mediterranean cruise last year and at lunch, there was always at least 4-6 different Indian dishes with basmati rice and I always loaded up on it. I visited a magnificent Indian buffet in Montréal in 2004 that still lingers in my mind as one of my best Indian experiences. But, I happened to be discussing with my sister where she wanted to eat for her birthday and she immediately responded with KORMA SUTRA! And that's where we went. There is also a Korma Sutra in Westport. The one I'm writing about is in Overland Park off of 111th Street off College Boulevard and Metcalf. When you first walk into the joint, it looks a bit cramped and crowded but that's because the place is full of hungry, happy diners. There is a loud affable man (must be an owner or manager) who boisterously greets you at the door and guides you to your table. I was half hour late having made the mistake of hitting the wrong Korma Sutra. As I was whisked to my waiting seat by the happy host, I saw my family noshing on samosas and drinking chai and something called a mango lassi. The chai coffee was outstanding and the mango lassi was intriguing! Like a secret and forbidden tryst, the spices and the tangy flavor of the fresh mango juice tantalize your tastebuds and at first, you're not quite sure what it is but that it is surprisingly refreshing, rich and overwhelmingly delicious! Then came the food. Unfortunately, I am not yet experienced in naming the variety of dishes I sampled that afternoon. All I know is that the flavoring is unique, exotic and exciting. Oh so delicious. Nothing burned or tough or offensively hot or sour or bitter although there are mixtures of all those flavors (except for offensively hot, burned and tough) in just the right proportions to give each dish its uniqueness. Indian food is sensual to me. Maybe because of the exotic combination of unusual spices from faraway lands, a cuisine to which we are not accustomed and that we have not yet forced to conform to American tastes as we have with Mexican and Italian cuisine. At any rate, a visit to Korma Sutra is a visit to a culinary paradise where one will find an abundance of tender and savory meats, savory, rich sauces, vegetables prepared in ways one might never have imagined and seasoned in a manner that takes the boredom some people experience when eating vegetables. I feel sorry for people who are too timid or narrow-minded about foreign cuisine. I know one cannot miss what one does not know but still...I think of how sad I would be if I were to find out how delectable Indian cuisine is and here I am on my death bed...never to savor such ecstasy again! It is without a doubt that we will visit Korma Sutra again soon. read more

I've been to the Korma Sutra in Wesport (Kansas City, MO). When comparing the two, there are pros and cons to this Overland Park location. I think the two locations have very different atmospheres that cater to different kinds of people. However, before I get to that, I have to lay the bottom line: the food at the Wesport location is the clear winner in comparison. The garlic naan at the O. Park location is more dense and less elastic, which I don't like. I also feel that the food at the O. Park location is less flavorful and has different consistencies than the one in Westport. I could be biased since I tried the Wesport location first, but I feel that the sauces at the Westport location have a better consistency; it's more of a creamy sauce, whereas the O. Park location has more... gooey sauces? It could have been just that particular day, but I usually like to think that good restaurants should be consistent in how they serve their food anyway. Also, the Westport location keeps their buffet lines stocked a bit better. The O. Park buffet is so busy that sometimes you have to wait for certain items to get refilled. Now on to the atmospheres. The O. Park location is VERY boisterous. The servers are constantly bustling around, and the main server (which looked like he could have been the manager as well) even sings! Which... is not really my style when I'm eating, but I can definitely see how that could cater to families that like that kind of thing or couples who want to have a great story to tell, etc. It's loud, busy, slightly chaotic. The service is alright, but if you don't like the servers reaching across you to hand spicy naan to the person next to you, making loud talk to you while you're trying to eat, or singing if you want "happy beer," this place is NOT the place for you. In my opinion, I prefer the quieter atmosphere of the Westport location. The Westport location does have less attentive staff (you really have to flag them down as they walk past your table-- be assertive!), but if you can get over that, the food there beats the O. Park location. I think the O. Park location may be a smidge more expensive as well. read more

YUM! I enjoy good food with lots of flavor. Indian is always a favorite choice. I have tried Korma Sutra at the Indian Festival, but this was my first time at the restaurant. Hands down, best Indian food in the area. We went for dinner and tried a few different things. All of them were good and full of flavor. We had a goat, lamb, and chicken dish and I would order them all again. We had the plain and garlic naan, the plain was preferred by me. The garlic didn't have much of a garlic taste and actually had a bit of a char taste. The meal ended with a rice dessert and chai tea. Both delicious. The service was great. The gentleman working, possibly the owner, was friendly and highly enjoyable! Quite the character. He makes dining here fun! If I had any complaints it would be that him and the lady working seemed to be working in circles, coming to ask us the same things. The restaurant was clean and the decor was good. A touch of India with a touch of the western world. I am excited to return and try the lunch buffet. read more

Can't beat the $13 lunch buffet with like 5 differently spiced chicken entrees. The owner is hilarious, full of energy, keeps the naan, mango lassis, and these pieces of pistachio ice cream on a stick flowing. I really appreciated that basically everything was included in the meal. Even the chai tea at the end. I thought everything tasted pretty authentic and of good quality. Would definitely come back. Serious kudos to the manager/owner? He wore balloons on his head and sang happy birthday to one of the patrons. He makes the place feel warm and energizing, and it is reflected in the food and overall atmosphere. read more

We had a strange experience here actually. We ended up here for Sunday lunch, while we were given choice for Buffet or A-la-Carte and food was fairly good. The service was fairly fast and it was good, till the time I believe one of the owners decided to distribute some stuff to people in all of the tables. So, looks like there is a concept of "PRANKSTER FOOD" here. So, he distributed one thing called chocolate roll, which in fact was not SWEET, it was SPICYYY as HELL. (Trust me, coming from an Indian guy, that's like dumped with CHILLIs). The guys at my table were pissed as hell, they were like what the HELL is going on. Then at the end, he came around saying "SPICY" something, which happened to be SWEET. CAUTION: So, please ask what is in it, if he doesn't REVEAL ingredients then better to assume the worst. When he says SPICY, it's SWEET and vice versa :) read more

Good buffet, it was pretty busy at lunch time. They had mostly typical Indian lunch buffet items and a few that were a bit unique. They also brought around little slices of ice cream and some habanero naan bread which was different. read more

Always grab this when I'm in town. The food is fantastic and the hospitality is great as well!

The owner of this restaurant understands the definition of Hospitality. It doesn't matter if I am getting a quick carry out order or dining in, I am always warmly greeted. The food is fresh, and always consist. Last night, what we thought was going to be a quick Wednesday dinner turned into a fully coursed meal complete with our hands rinsed table side with fresh lime and warm water. A little Chai and fresh fruit completed the experience. Everything was so good! We had fun and will definitely be back! read more

Love Love Love this place for lunch. I've only been for the the lunch buffet so that is all I can comment on. They keep the buffet full and hot. Staff is very friendly and always bringing you something you didn't ask for to sample. Last time was ice cream and they brought us two samples, but I didn't complain, I just ate them both. I always end up meeting a colleague of mine there cause we both like it so much. Highly recommend. read more

I was here on business. It's always a bit sad eating alone on trips like this in the evenings.... but not this time. The food was delicious but the owner....the owner! This man can never take a day off because who would blow up balloons for kids to keep them occupied with their parents, joke about sending you back home not starving and too skinny after you say you can't eat anymore, ask everyone if they're happy as soon as they walk in the door, and load you up with free desserts at the end of your meal?? Whoever this man is has figured out how to run a restaurant and should be used as an example across the lands. Bravo! read more

By far the best best best Indian food I've ever had AND the service is absolutely amazing. I had had Indian food across the country and no one does it like this place. The owner is soo energetic and serves so many complimentary stuff on top of the buffet. Free all you can drink mango lassi,free naan and chai tea. The food is just heavenly. Love this place so much. Every time I come back to visit Kansas, I always stop by and try to eat here. read more

Korma Sutra - Yum buffet - Indian Near Me - Lenexa, Kansas

This is my absolute favorite restaurant: the food is great but the service is the real differention. These folk are genuinely pleased to serve you and it is a treat to eat here. Owner will encourage you to try an Indian beer and let you know it's "no mild Wednesday" or whatever day you are there. Never a wait, and we always leave happy. Closed Tuesdays. read more

I came here for lunch and am NEVER disappointed. This is a must go to if you live in KC or visit the area. Their butter chicken is the best you'll get! Veggie korma is great, korma sutra korma is fantastic, there are just to many exceptional items on the lunch buffet to mention. The service is top notch and the owner who is extremely proud of his restaurant is always there with a welcoming smile. With consistent Zagat ratings of "Excellent" year after year, it's hard to stay away whenever I'm in KC. They offer nice touches with the lunch buffet, such as a mango lassi, and finish with chai tea. If you dont finish all your naan, they pack it up and send it with you, and offer a tea for the road. You cant help but feel good when you eat here. read more

Lunch buffet is always really good, for a reasonable price. I find the owner to be...interesting, to say the least. I just wish he'd let me walk away from my table without taking the leftover naan with me. I'm fairly new to Indian food, but Korma is the best I've had. I've never been for dinner, so I can't comment on the reviews stating that they were charged for "free" items. Stick with the buffet, where everything is included for one price. read more

My sister and I ate here twice when I first moved to KCK. The food was so good I thought I had an Indian grandmother cooking in the kitchen! The wait staff were wonderful, entertaining and so gracious. I felt like I was home. They offered what I thought were "extras" or "freebies" but there was a charge in the end. The second visit these "extras" were actually free or on the house. I've read the same thing happen to other reviewers. I suggest that if you're on a tight budget then be aware of your bill charges. Appetizers: I love cheese, so you know I ordered the Paneer Naan, & loved. it. Second visit I tried the coconut soup and found heaven! It was light, yet creamy & smooth, not too sweet. Entrees: I tried the Lamb Marsala on 1st visit, then Chicken Korma on 2nd visit, my sister loved the Chicken Tikka Saag so much she ordered it on both visits. For both visit we had a 3rd entree which we split, the waiter/owner jokingly called it "No Name" (I later found out it was Butter Chicken). Drinks: No liquor or wine here, I think they had beer. If not counting calories, try the Chai Tea and Mango Lassi. We knew the Mango Lassi was fattening because it was so good, so we limited to 2 glasses. The Chai tea put anything we ever 'thought' was Chai tea to shame, they could tell we loved it so much and gave us several to-go cups for the road. Dessert: To finish they gave us a sampling of a dessert I can't pronounce or recall much except it had pistachios, some honey???, and had the consistency of rice pudding. I can't fairly rate this because I'm convinced that when it comes to dessert only Americans or Europeans get it right! I've genuinely tried other cultures "interpretation" of "dessert" & it just does NOT "translate" well. Which is probably why the people of these fine countries with horrible desserts are way healthier than us. But I digress... Korma Sutra Overland Park is the best, I can't wait till my sis comes back into town because this will be our KCK dinner spot. Go there for excellent service, great food, they will make you feel at home, you'll leave stuffed and feeling "Happy, Happy, Happy". read more

Great food and great customer service, takeout is always a treat as they insist on giving you good chai tea before you leave.

While the food is still good, the atmosphere is not the same from their previous location. Now the employees "give" you other items only to find out you'll be charged for them when you get the bill. The chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, and mimosas are my favorites, but I would recommend getting them to go. read more

Delicious food and very kind staff. The lamb korma is creamy and tender. I love the variety of naan choices. Also, whenever I order carry out, there are extra complimentary goodies that I've come to love. Absolutely my favorite Indian restaurant in KC. read more

This is the kind of place you could bring a first timer to Indian cuisine. What a great place to feel welcome. read more

Korma Sutra - Standing in line to get in. Still so worth it. - Indian Near Me - Lenexa, Kansas

The pros? The food here is absolutely delicious and beautifully seasoned. Everything I've had on their lunch buffet was very tasty. The staff comes by tables frequently with hot naan, mango lassi, chai and other treats. I love the lassi, in particular. SOO good. On our way out the door, a gent brought us a wrapped up bundle of butter chicken, jasmine rice and hot naan to take home. The cons? This location is a bit on the small side. If you're looking for a quiet meal, you might find the atmosphere a loud. But... that's a small price to pay for a lovely lunch. read more

We waited ninety minutes with two tired, hungry children, watching order after order go out for carry-out while we were ignored. Finally, I tracked down the manager and asked for the food to go, but when we got it home we found that we didn't get what we ordered, and what we did get was inedible! I've never been so disappointed in a restaurant before. If I could leave "no stars" I would. Also note: you will be given a lot of "freebies". Chai tea, samosas, ice cream, kheer...and YOU WILL BE CHARGED for them, even if you refuse them. We had three $13 entrees, no alcohol or appetizers, and the bill was $70, with no itemized receipt to show it. read more

Had food delivered. 2 hours to receive the food. Man on the phone was very rude and would not listen to what I had to say. The delivery driver said he got lost. How do you get lost going to a popular hotel??? Perhaps if the guy who took my order over the phone would have listened to me as I gave him the address then the driver wouldn't have gotten "lost". This is the second Indian restaurant I've tried here in Kansas. Disappointed both times. Never again. If Iwant Indian food I will stick with the one back home...There's no place like home. read more

Started a little slow because it was packed and only a few workers for all the tables. Not sure if it was the owners running around, but they sure made up for the wait. The gentleman going table to table was amazing and made the evening just that much more enjoyable. I got the butter chicken with garlic and cheese naan, which were all amazing. At first seemed like a small portion, but was so much food that I have lunch for tomorrow as well. Def recommend checking this place out. read more

It's so hard to articulate the awesome time you'll have here. The owner is awesome - he and his staff constantly check in on you during your meal and you won't feel like you're being bugged, just well taken care of. We make the trip south for the buffet every couple of months and it's so worth it. I also love taking friends and out-of-towners here since there's something for everyone. Vegetarian, meat lovers - unite. That's the wonder of a lunch buffet! Hands down, this lunch buffet is one of my favorite meals in the KC metro. read more

I love this place. Not only is the food great but the experience is outstanding. They greeted you at the door and made everyone who entered smile. The yogurt drink is my favorite. I'm always wanting to go back. We got free balloons too! read more

In my adventures in Overland Park on a recent trip, I met a good friend and her boyfriend here at the Korma Sutra Indian restaurant. It was near my hotel on Metcalf Avenue, so it was a good thing that it was recommended it to me by my friend. It had been a while since having Indian cuisine, so it was good to get in those exotic food while out on vacation anyway. I thought that this place was very good, the service was good, the host was very happy / excited to see us, and the food was above expectations. Definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves Indian cuisine and is near Overland Park KS or in the Kansas City vicinities. Korma Sutra Indian cuisine is located on XX 110th Street off Metcalf Avenue in Overland Park, KS, in a shopping complex. Lot was kind of easy to find, especially when you get lost trying to find your hotel. This place had many positive reviews on yelp, so it was necessary that I see what was up here. They take credit cards, so that was simply amazing, as always. There was ample parking here, so that wasn't really an issue. We came here on a recent Monday evening. It wasn't too packed up and we got seated right away. On that day, we got a table on the left side of the restaurant, where there was a pink ballon was tide above the lighting fixture. None of the other tables had such balloons. Weird. The place was clean and the ambiance was nice, although the owner and his wife was busy, this place can be quiet at times for good casual dining. The conversation and company was excellent as always. It was cute that the owner was kind of hyper or trying to be funny. Or it seemed that's how it was received to me. A little too hyper for his own good. It was funny though. I had ordered the lamb curry, which came with white rice. Along with the cheese naan, we also ordered Indian beer, which tasted slightly like apple cider. It was quite interesting, but it was alright, I guess. Got the lamb curry hot, which was not that spicy, to be honest. Mixed with the basmati rice provided, it was a sinful array of flavors that would be a good in any time. The lamb came with the bones, so it wasn't really okay with biting into it and it was hard. The nan wasn't dry or hard, but it was just right. The restaurant was smaller than I had thought, but it was a cozy place to dine. All of us enjoyed our experience here, since it was our first time here. My friend told me she would consider coming here more, since she lives in Prairie Village. The pricing is not too bad, but it's definitely up there. $11-$16 average for an entree. Overall experience was a definite 4 stars. Definitely would recommend this place! Support local! B read more
