We've also noticed that the carryout portions are larger than the dining portions, all the way around (naan is the same size).

This updated review is still mostly based on the buffet. I've been to the buffet a handful of…read moretimes, and gotten dinner service once. It's not bad food, and some of the items are great, but particularly on my most recent buffet trip, I felt like the curries were the most Midwesterenized take on Indian food you can get, like they've had the pizazz sucked out of them. Out of all the curries on the Sunday buffet, the only ones that really satisfied my craving were the malai soya chaap (this one was great, with big, tender pieces of chaap and a rich gravy) and the saag paneer (theirs is not like any other version of the dish that I've had, but I've come to like it for what it is). The rest of the curries (and this goes for other visits too) were just very stewlike, and the gravy on the shahi paneer was the thinnest I've ever seen. Aside from the underwhelming curries, the other buffet food was fine, but nothing else stood out. I've only tried the saag choley and chai a la carte. Again, the saag dish had kind of an nontraditional texture, but it was good. I ordered spicy and got way more flavour than you get out of any of the buffet dishes. Someone in my group ordered the chili cheese naan, and I didn't have any, but it looked delicious and he said it was great. The a la carte chai was also slightly better than the buffet chai, a little richer. The buffet chai didn't do much for me, but I'd get the a la carte chai again. The pros of the buffet are that you get to try a large variety of comforting dishes for a very good price: $15 with card or $14 with cash. It's very vegetarian-friendly with a wide variety of veg dishes. If possible, go for the Sunday buffet, which is the same price but includes a slightly expanded food selection and drinks (mango lassi and chai). The waiters are polite and keep the buffet stocked. The cons are that it can be very crowded inside (but the patio is more comfortable when weather allows) and the Midwesternness of it. But if you have unadventurous eaters, it might work for them. The place is very popular so evidently it's working for someone. Dinner service is a little better but I still don't think this is the place for very authentic Indian.

Highly recommend without any reservations. Restaurant is on the small side, but very clean and nice jazz background music. 5+ experience.

When you walk in to the tidy little restaurant, the aroma of Indian curries is intoxicating. The menu options were vast. You can order Indian food, Chicago-style pizza or Indian favorites as pizza toppings. The clerk was friendly. We ordered a small Chicken Tikka Masala pizza to go. It took about 15 minutes to come out in a box. It was hard not to rip open the box and dig-in. The pizza smelled so good. And it was delicious. The Indian spices took pizza to a whole new level. The masala sauce covered the pizza with bits of chicken. If you like Indian food, you'll like this. A small pizza is enough for two people. I can't wait to try their other combinations. The restaurant is located across from Edinburgh Outlet Mall in suite next to a Shell Station. There is parking on the side. There is a drive up window as well. They have a dining room that is comfortable and simple. They serve beer and the mango lassi looked tempting. I'll be back.

This place serves, pasta, salads, Indian food, traditional pizza and Indian-inspired pizza. They have bottle drinks and beer to wash your food down. There is also a fountain soda machine there, but half of its drinks were out during my visit. They have an adequate dining area with booths. There is a restroom available for customers. The woman that was working the counter was friendly, helpful and patient. In other words she was awesome. I ended up ordering a half Tandoori Chicken Pizza and half Butter Chicken. My pie was made fresh and it took them about 15 minutes to prepare. It was fresh, hot and delicious. It was very tasty. This place has some very unique pies, that are very flavorful. Depending on the sauce you choose, it can have a little kick to it. Do not let the restaurants location or appearance turn you off. I highly recommend checking this place out.

Party of four. Saturday night after NK. Place was packed with a line, but we arrived at the last…read moretable for four. We expected medium chaos, and were happily surprised. Orders were mainstream, Malai Kofta, Mushroom Saag, Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka. A side order of vegetable pakora was really good. The Malai Kofta, usually a brown curry with kofta balls, was instead, an orange curry; my partner said it was fine, if different than most we've tried. My Mushroom Saag was five stars. The other diners like their offerings. Food came quickly, an amazing feat given the sheer traffic and line waiting. And there came the only rub. They were a bit insistent about getting our plates and flipping our table. Didn't feel good. No, we weren't dawdling, just getting rushed. Bad idea, and cost them a star. We're happy they've improved from our prior experiences. They were once our go-to Indian Food in Bloomington, then fell from grace. They're improving. They need to take a chill pill, however. Grace under pressure is a desirable skill.

I was very happy with my dinner at Amrit. I ordered the special Punjabi kadhi (onion pakoras in…read moreyogurt-based gravy) and Kashmiri naan (stuffed with coconut and dry fruits). The kadhi was flavourful and rich but not heavy or oily. I ordered it medium-hot and the spice level was just what I wanted. The naan also came out just right with a thick layer of delicious coconut-based stuffing inside. Portions are pretty generous. For me, it wasn't quite enough to split into two meals, but I was very full when I finished. Less than $20 before tip. I was there on a Monday, early evening, and was seated right away. The restaurant was moderately busy but not loud. Nice classy but comfortable atmosphere. This was right when school started at IU. My server was very polite. Another highlight is that it seems very vegan friendly, with a number of clearly labelled vegan dishes on the menu.

I thought it was really good! You might not expect it from the outside, but the interior of the…read morerestaurant is pretty classy. I was there for dinner on a weeknight, and while there were a few takeout/delivery orders that came through, I was the only dine-in customer, and the man who served me was extremely courteous. I ordered their vegetable malai kofta, plain naan, and Indian tea. I'm pretty sure what I was kadhi kofta instead of malai kofta; the gravy tasted like tangy savoury kadhi rather than creamy malai gravy. I'm not upset about the mistake because this is actually what I would've ordered, but I didn't see it on the paper menu. Anyway, the dish was very flavourful and the medium hot was actually medium hot - no watered down spice level here! Good naan, soft and charred in the right places. The food was reasonably priced and portioned generously. Cumin rice was included with the entree. The Indian tea (chai) was strong, and I felt like the tea itself was actually of good quality, but it was served sweetened and it was too sweet for me. I prefer chai unsweetened but don't mind some tasteful sweetness, but theirs was really strong. It was also pretty small, almost cutting chai size, and didn't come out until I was almost done eating. The tea wasn't expensive, but not so inexpensive that I was expecting it to be so small. Definitely would visit again. The hours are a little weird - they open at 2:30 pm and close between 1 am-2:30 am depending on the night. It would be nice if they were open at normal lunch time, but on the bright side, they're open during the mid-afternoon window when most restaurants close between lunch and dinner and stay open late when most everything else still open is fast food.

We had a little of everything left over for lunch another day. We'll order from here again.
