My family and I recently held an event here after previously visiting for the buffet. Because of…read morethat, I have a lot to say both good and bad. Starting with the event food: it felt noticeably cheaper and lower quality, which was very disappointing. Prior to the event, we had all genuinely enjoyed the buffet food, so expectations were high. Unfortunately, the naan tasted frozen, like something from a bulk pack at Costco. It was thin, poorly made, and as someone who truly loves naan, I couldn't even finish a single piece. The meat and chicken dishes also did not taste nearly as good as they do during the buffet. The flavors were okay, but as someone familiar with South Asian cuisine, it was very underwhelming. Since this is the only Indian restaurant option in the area, that made the disappointment even greater. The staff overall was very kind and polite. The staff is truly amazing, very aware and ready to help which is wonderful!! They did an amazing job, 5/5 for the staff, no complaints there. However, my experience with the manager was not positive. He provided inconsistent and constantly changing information regarding the minimum number of people required to reserve the private room. For me, he told my partner and I that 45 people were required minimum. But later told my sister that it was 40 then 35 or 30 and it just kept changing. One change is not okay, maybe a mistake. But this? Not a mistake, definitely intentional. And if you don't know the correct answer, the right thing to do is find out before relaying any information. I found the inconsistency among the required number of guests and information extremely unprofessional, and it came across as money-driven, which was a major turn-off--especially when paired with the noticeably lower-quality food being served for a special event - aka a Wedding. Now, outside of the event, the buffet itself was excellent. The naan was fluffy and warm, and the chicken and meat dishes were flavorful and well prepared. Based on the buffet alone, I would have given this restaurant a 5 out of 5. The buffet is one I would recommend. However, due to how the event was handled, the inconsistencies, and the poor quality of food provided for what was supposed to be a wedding event, I have to rate this experience a 3 out of 5. Providing customers with inaccurate and inconsistent information, especially from a manager, is not professional and is simply not okay. ESPECIALLY because it was a private party as well in which they are making more money and taking images to promote the area.

Tried food here on multiple occasions and it has not disappointed me. I have come here for a buffet…read moretwice (once on a weekend and once on a regular day), and enjoyed it so much that we picked this place to host my sister's intimate wedding party. Service is the best I have seen around this area. All of the staff we have met were friendly, and the same with the store manager. Ambiance is lovely. You can go here for dates, family brunch, lunch with friends, and even book their private room for parties and decorate it the way you want. Buffet price is great for what you get! I believe you normally get to make your own chaats as appetizers and there are 6 additional dishes. Once, there was even a live pani puri station (delicious)! Also the Naan is fresh and comes hot. We had Dhannu(?) as one of our servers, and he was awesome - very kind and friendly. All the servers were nice but we talked to him the most. If you reserve the room for a private party, you get to make it buffet style with 2 veg app, 2 non veg app, 2 veg entrees, 2 non Veg, rice/naan, choice of 2 desserts, and soda. You can add more for additional price. I added pictures of the items we had selected. The guests also enjoyed the food. Only change we would have done would be replacing the Falooda for a diff dessert. The Falooda was lacking the vermicelli noodles. Also, the butter chicken was lacking chicken. Other than that, all else was great.

Amazing food!! We loved the food as it's really close to…read morewhat you'd find at a roadside restaurant in India. Giving it a very similar feels as this too is literally roadside.

I highly recommend the place for good food! It's a very small homely feels food place.

We had provided a pre selected menu beforehand so that we wouldn't have to worry about taking orders for the group (~15 of us). The restaurant was a great spot to host my dad's birthday- they didn't rush us at all and created an environment in which everyone was able to talk to each other easily. The food itself- - paneer tikka: delicious! A favorite, although there was fewer paneer pieces and more onion pieces. It was very yummy but I wish it was more balanced. Even a better balance between the onion, pepper, and broccoli would have been better. -samosa chat: great! No notes on this one. Was very yummy. - sag paneer: wasn't my favorite, there wasn't anything wrong with it, I just liked other dishes more - dum aloo: this was great! Very tasty. However, we had to keep asking the staff to bring more out instead of them keeping an eye on what dishes needed refilling. Given that we had provided a headcount beforehand of how many people were coming, it was frustrating that not everyone got to try this dish. There was lots of gravy, but not enough aloo. - Methi malai matar: was very tasty! Overall the food was very good and I'd recommend trying as many dishes of theirs as possible. The service itself was frustrating since we had to keep an eye on what needed refilling and inform the staff, instead of them bringing more food out (we were the only group in the restaurant). But that being said, other restaurants are not nearly as accommodating as masala Art. We had initially asked Chand Palace if they would be able to accommodate us and they had told us that we would only get the table for a set amount of time and we weren't allowed to bring decorations or anything like that. We will be back for sure!

This was a small location that served authentic Afghan cuisine. The menu had a number of…read moreintriguing options with reasonable prices. The service was friendly, and the food came out extremely quickly. I felt we were being rushed just a tad, but not a huge deal. For appetizers, the falafel ($7?), Mantu ($8?), and bholani cadu ($6?) were ordered. Regarding the falafel, there were five to an order. The falafel was very crispy and had decent flavor. I thought they needed a little more seasoning present. The Mantu were Afghan style dumplings filled with ground beef, onions, and seasonings. It was garnished with homemade mint yogurt and lentil sauce. This was light and soft with tons of flavor. The dumplings were filled appropriately, and the lentil sauce was a pleasant addition. The bholani cadu was a thin fried pastry filled with butternut squash and seasoned with fresh herbs and spices. This was interesting. The wonton was very crispy. The squash filling was sweeter than I thought, but still tasty. I also might add all of the three sauces provided at the tables were good, with the cilantro one being my favorite (cilantro I believe anyway). For my entrée, I had the lamb shank ($38?). It came with a soup, salad, a choice of rice, and naan. The soup appeared to be a lentil soup. It came out hot and was very pleasant. The salad consisted of tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers. It was prepared nicely as all the pieces were small and a good size portion. The simple dressing was great too. The lamb shank came with a few vegetables. The lamb was extremely tender, but not much meat was on the bone. There needed to be a little more seasoning too as it was lacking. I am just glad the lamb was so tender. I went with the Kabuli rice which had steamed carrots and raisins on top. This was fluffy and flavorful with a ton of it. The naan was okay, a little too crispy. I also tried the lamb chops. They had an unreal cook on them and seasoned well. I also tried the zamarud rice, which was good too. For dessert, the rice pudding ($8?) was ordered. It was creamy and filling. The nice crunch from the pistachios on top was a good addition. Will I go back? I would, yes.

This is a tight, intimate location with seating for maybe 20 people tops, and that seems generous, but they do pretty fast takeout so I'll usually get it to go. Usually I've got my food within 20 minutes of ordering, but if it's busy you're better calling it in. The food is delicious, and whoa is it spicy, so do not be shy about asking them for the American spicy not Indian spicy or you're going to suffer, but it isn't spicy without flavor to back it up. By that I mean while you'll be crying actual tears from the spice, you'll also taste an incredible palette of flavors and non-atomic spices that are masterfully blended into all the usual classic dishes, and some unique ideas as well. Good mango lassi on the menu, and it is CLEARLY there to mitigate some of this spice, so be sure you get yourself one. The Saag Paneer is a perfect 10 in my book. The tandoori is to die for, the naan is great, it's all great, give this place a chance!

Wow. I must be here on a GOOD night, judging from some of the reviews…read more Let me just say that I'm admittedly a bit of a snob, having owned my own restaurant, and living in NYC my whole life, surrounded by some of the best restaurants in so many different styles of food. I got the Lamb Tikka Masala with a plain Naan. It took a little while to come out, but it was so very worth it. I've always had Chicken Tikka Masala, never lamb, and I'm so glad I tried it. Absolutely delish! Sorry I forgot to take the food-porn pics for you when it arrived. I was hungry and distracted by how awesome it smelled. I guess you'll just have to see a photo from the aftermath! This appears to be a mom 'n pop shop, and it may have been the wife who let me in, took my order, served the food, etc. I didn't see any other servers here, and the whole time I'm here (7pm on a Tuesday night), there was only one other table dining here. There were a couple of take-out and delivery orders. I would love to see them bring in some Iced Tea. The decor is a little kitschy, but it's an Indian restaurant, so it works pretty well. It's nothing fancy, and I want even given a knife to cut up the lamb, though she brought a bottled water to the table which appeared to mean that it's complimentary. I would like to suggest to ownership that the bathroom door be cleaned up. It wasn't bad enough to wipe a star off of the review, but it could definitely turn some diners off, and badly. This place is worth a try!
