Brunch buffet
Khanh-Chau M.

A really good deal for brunch! All you can eat buffet with a variety of options. I particularly liked the goat curry, the chicken biryani, and the fried cheese paneer. There were some things you can definitely skip on. Unfortunately, wasn't a huge fan of any of the dessert items. Service was attentive with cleaning up plates. The place really nice on the inside and pretty to look at. Definitely recommend trying it out for brunch!

Place is spacious and elegantly decorated. We ordered and array of dishes, including the briyani and tandoori chickens. Good savory flavors with right amount of spice. Good portions too. One of our chicken pieces were slight undercook so both the chef and owner came to apologize and offered us an addition dish which was really nice. They also gave us a compliment mango lassi for dessert too, which was tasted really good. Price is fair and service was excellent. They have quite a large menu size so I would visit again to try some other options.

Mango, Pistachio, Rose Ice Cream

You must try their homemade ice cream. I cannot believe I missed the best part of Maharani Palace for so long. I am now a regular, and the entire staff recognizes me because I visit so often. I have also been bringing different friends with me to try their lunch buffet. I have tried all three ice cream flavors: pistachio, rose, and mango. The mango ice cream is my absolute favorite. It has completely spoiled me for all other ice cream. It is $6 extra, which is so worth it!!

Absolutely loved the food here! The mango lassi was so delicious and rich. We loved the garlic naan and butter chicken . I appreciated that I didn't have to get it spicy because I don't do spices well. The food was fresh and hot. The decor is absolutely stunning in here and it's worth visiting for that alone. Definetly will visit again in the future ! This place is a must visit if you like Indian food

Wow!!! We have been on the hunt for an outstanding Indian food restaurant and finally have found it!! We ordered the butter chicken which is absolutely delicious!! The garlic naan bread is fresh and perfect. We also tried the Anardana Aloo kulcha bread....and it was perfect. We can't wait to go back. They have an impressive bar. Lots of fine bourbons it looked like.

So as most places I find, I found this place on Tik Tok. I did hear alot of mixed things so I tried to go in with an open mind and it wasn't bad but wasn't great either. Vegetarian Friendly: Yup! being an Indian restaurant there are plenty of veg options to satisfy even the most pickest person. Decor: this has to be probably the best looking Indian restaurant in virginia and maybe on the east coast. There is no place that comes close to the beauty of this place. Food Breakdown: So my friends and I got a variety of items from Bombay Bhel, Paparad (complementary) Mango Lassi, Egg curry, Paneer Curry, Basil and Rosemary Naan. Food Highlights: So I want to say that I love everything I got fro the list above except for the Apps. Idk if its cause it was a Tuesday but it really didnt taste fresh| Egg Curry (3/5) Paneer (2/5). But I will say the Lassi (5/5), the Basil and Rosemary Naan (5/5), Bhel (4/5), Mango Cocktail (5/5) Portion Size: Was actually really good for the price. The price was high but the portion was also pretty good. Service: Amazing service. From the front host to the servers I really liked the people and had no issues. Price: It for sure is expensive. But doesn't try to hide what they are and the is no issue being expensive if that's what they are going for. Would I go Back: I would go back for the lassi, naan, drinks from the bar and try more apps. But the e ntre was sadly a miss but I would love to try it one more time maybe on a Friday and see if it gets better.

Weekday lunch buffet priced at $20 was a steal!! As you enter, u will be awed by the magnificent ambiance and friendly service. The buffet includes veg and non veg starters, main course, dessert and chai / naan served at table. Clean restrooms and clean cutlery with a huge space makes it perfect! The fruits and dal makhani were my favorites. Great value for money and loved all the north indian items :)

Chicken biryani
Raneem R.

The interior of this restaurant was one of the best that I have ever seen. It was decorated so nicely and the staff was very kind. We ordered the chicken biryani and chicken tiki masala with yogurt. It was very delicious and a bit spicy, even though we got medium. The owner was very kind and made sure we felt welcomed as this was our first time here. The mango lassi is amazing and everything was presented nicely.

Live dosa station
Vineela G.

Ambiance: Elegant and regal, with gold-toned accents that truly live up to the restaurant's name. Service was quick and attentive despite the weekend rush. Food: We went for the Saturday lunch buffet, and the place was buzzing. The live dosa station was a great start -- the masala dosa was crisp and paired beautifully with flavorful peanut and tomato chutneys. The tandoori chicken had good flavor, though a few pieces were a bit dry. The potato tikki and pakoras were delicious, and the pasta was surprisingly good -- I even went back for seconds! The navratan dal and kadhi pakora were both flavorful, and the naan was fresh and soft. The kadai egg was okay at best, but the chicken biryani stood out -- absolutely superb. For dessert, I tried the mango kheer, and it was divine -- creamy, fragrant, and perfectly sweet. I'd go back just for that alone! Hot and sour soup was bad! That was the only fail. Parking: Restaurant has ample reserved parking.

Sorry... I ate it all!

Pretty tasty! Great selection of entrees! Service was great, very attentive, especially for a buffet! The place is very decorated and fun to look around during your visit! A little pricey for a buffet did me only because I don't eat a ton! But well worth it for my teenage boys!

Decoration in the dining area
Annzie A.

An Indian restaurant with a wow factor! The outside looks a bit plain, with some elaborate elephants and font, but once inside the restaurant, it's a whole different vibe. The decoration gives off upscale/ bougie vibes...I mean, look at the chairs and decor on the wall!! The restaurant is very clean and well-maintained. There is a large buffet full of both veg and non-veg dishes/curries, as well as a decent/big selection of desserts. I definitely enjoyed the butter chicken, tandoori chicken and desserts. I personally am used to spicy South Indian food and typical/common North Indian curries, so some of these curries/flavors were new to me. There were a few items I absolutely didn't enjoy because of this--the chicken biryani (as they used some different spices) and the raita (yogurt) which had a weird taste because of the spices they added. The masala coffee/tea were included with the buffet. At the end of the meal, they provide a spice packet in nice packaging matching their emblem. Luckily, it wasn't busy when we arrived, we were seated immediately. Upon seating, we were able to start at the buffet. I loved the elaborate decorations, presentation of the food and the overall ambiance of the food. The staff were very attentive and nice. We didn't have to wait or motion to them, instead, they came around and asked if we needed anything. There is plenty of parking in front of the restaurant. Would I return? Possibly, only because I prefer Indian buffets where I can choose my own items and know what I'm selecting.

Interior decor
Jithu R.

The decor of this place is amazing! It's really quite breathtaking and it is fairly large but still gets crowded on the weekends. We got a couple of delicious cocktails, the spinach chaat, and tandoori items. The portions were generous and delicious. Because it was close to Indian Independence Day, we also got complimentary champagne. The service was also amazing. 10/10.

I would personally recommend the Chili Paneer and Singapore Style Noodles. They're truly fantastic you don't even notice it's vegetarian because it's that good The staff is friendly, service is quick and efficient - call ahead and just go pick it up, couldn't be any easier. Especially if you're already planning on shopping at Lotte. This is a hidden gem!

The location is within the grocery store Lotte. There's no seating area, it's literally just a counter with a kitchen in the back. Yet, out of that small, humble, and clean kitchen they prepare some of the best Indian cuisine I've had. The pictures I took really don't do the food justice. The food was hot and visually appealing; unlike the pics I took. The colors of the food were actually vibrant; the palak paneer being a brighter green. The malai kofta was in a yellow gravy not the beige that my camera captured. The naan was steaming, moist and adorned w/fresh cilantro and garlic. The Aloo (potato) had a perfect peppery crust garnished with cuts of green onion. And the mushroom mafia had mushrooms and capsicum blended into a tasty Masala gravy. Everything was prepared and packaged well. You can order online, by phone or through any of the popular food delivery services. Don't think twice, this place is great at what they do and it's shockingly economical. They have some great bulk ordering options like the Family Package and a daily/weekly tiffin bundle. I hope they always stay true to their values, truly amazing food!

Service was great and ambience similar to Indian fine dining. The desi tikka stood out immediately: incredibly soft and juicy, with a perfect balance of flavors. The tandoori naan was soft and beautifully made, and the mango coconut naan was an instant hit with my toddler. The batti murgh makhanwala has quickly become a household favorite.

The flavors were strong all around. The idli were the best thing I got, and had ample curry leaves and texturally diverse spices. Idli come with an array of chutneys and sambar by default, but in this case I had trouble even using those because the flavor starts out so strong. My chickpeas and okra were also delicious, if on the indulgent side. Getting manchow soup to go turned out not to be a great decision, as the crispy noodles had become soggy by the time I got around to unpacking my soup. Overall, high on salt and oil, but a diverse and interesting set of tastes.
