Visited this restaurant for a lunch buffet with my co-workers on a Friday afternoon. Location is OK in Gaithersburg, kind of hidden in a strip shopping mall on a busy intersection on 355. The lunch buffet seemed to have a variety of food options - for meat eaters and for vegetarians. I mainly got the Naan Bread, Butter Chicken and White Basmati Rice with some green chili peppers. The taste was alright, but there was something missing. I asked for some hot sauce, but unfortunately, to my dismay, they didn't have any! What kind of restaurant doesn't carry a single bottle of hot sauce?!?! From all of the cooking with different types of spices, but not hot sauce? Come on! The service was so-so, at best. The servers didn't really understand English since they were Latinas/Latinos. Good thing I know how to speak some Spanish, since they really had a hard time comprehending any English. The Indian servers were alright. For the price, the food seemed OK, nothing too special. But I've been to much better Indian restaurants for their lunch buffet food. I might give it another try again if I go again with my co-workers or friends, but we shall see... read more

Ordered the chicken biryani, which is usually edible. Tonight the entree contained no chicken, only fat and bones. I might also add that the bones were not chicken bones, rather they appeared to be some kind of pork bones--short ribs? There were also other strange debris in the entree... read more

Decent food, not the best tho. Hasn't satisfied with the dosa. But all the other items were fine for sure. I highly recommend any people who are looking for that sweet food. This might be the spot. read more

Definitely one of the top Indian restaurants in the area, each dish is full of fresh ingredients and bursts with amazing authentic indian flavors. I ordered from here for fathers day and my entire family loved it. The Aloo Gobi was filled with delicious vegetables and spices. The butter chicken was full of perfectly cooked and flavorful chicken and the sauce was the perfect thickness to go with rice or Naan. My personal favorite is the lamb biryani, it is packed with lamb, and has great spice and flavor. I will be going here again in the near future. Anyone who loves good Indian food will love this place. read more

I love the food here but this is so disgusting. Like dont take someone's money with a false advertisement. If you have run out of meat then let the customer know. I ordered this kheema paratha but instead got a tortilla with a few pieces of meat in it. look at the picture comparison... liars read more

Minerva - What was ordered - Indian Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

See all

SO this place was pretty good. The restaurant was full. Which is a good sign of a good Indian restaurant. I enjoyed my meal, partially, mainly due to the fact that my server paid my BF and I no mind at all... The food way okay; I ordered lamb curry but got mostly bone. Not enough meat there at all. And the rice pilaf comes in small little ramekins (really though, you'll have to order another side of rice for all you rice fans). But the actual taste of the food was solid, and I did enjoy that much. My only advice would be for the severs to pay more attention to their tables instead of only their larger parties. I had to get up to get to-go boxes AND get up to get my check, which is a BIG restaurant no-no. However, this will not take away from me visiting again. I would love to try more of their items. read more

I caught the nerdy socially awkward tall Indian guy with glasses whispering to the equally socially awkward tall Indian guy about me and my wife. I guess he figured we didn't notice. Me and my wife have been coming here for years, more than 20 years. We know the owner. He's a really nice person who hasn't been there recently but on the days that we use to come, the owner was there. The owner was hospitable and pleasant. He always greeted us and asked us how everything was going. This new dorky Indian guy with glasses , just has no customer service skills , non whatsoever. He's rude and talks about the customers who frequent there and don't think we notice. Carmin, she's sweet. I like her, she's always pleasant, she greets us and ask us how we're doing and if we need anything. The other tall Indian guy who he was whispering too ( he looks like his brother or lover). I noticed he didn't serve us any water or take our plates when me and my wife were finished eating. They both walked by our tables numerous times and didn't service us. I'm tired of dealing with this petty nerdy socially awkward Indian guy with the eye glasses( he likes to wear tight soccer shirts and watches soccer games because he wish he could actually play but is stuck being a fake racist jerk manager at restaurant he doesn't own). He's rude , has no manners and is small minded. We have been coming here every other week for years, probably longer than he's been alive and this is how you treats us???? We even bring my wife's parents here, when they are visiting from India. This is the last time we come honestly, I know this will make him happy but the true owner of the restaurant, we really loved your food and your hospitality, we came for the "good service too" which is now being overlooked. I know the owner gets the nerdy Indian guy to watch over his affairs when he is not there but that guy has no class and customer service, he doesn't know how to talk to ppl, maybe he can run a business but he has no empathy or soul when it comes to dealing with ppl who doesn't have his same ethnic background. And he's petty, arrogant and racist. Have some class and social skills, if you want to actually own your own business someday and not just be a poor substitute with a Indian villagers mindset. Those two Indian waiters , are only nice to white ppl ( the tall guy with the glasses and his tall lover). It's a shame, they love our money but hate the different races who pay their wages by being customers there. My wife actually thinks the other Indian guy who's short with glasses was giving me toilet water ( it was luke warm and tasted funny). After we had a disagreement about the seating arrangements. He kept constantly refilling my water , even when it didnt need to be filled. I didn't think of that because I figured no one in there right mind would be that petty but you can't overlook anything there anymore. Those guys aren't genuinely nice, beware of the toilet water pitchers. Someone needs to test that water. Might call the better business bureau, if that's what he was doing. I know the owner has numerous video cameras there, he should check them. read more

Decent place. Lots of selections for the lunch buffet, but the quality of the food can be lacking sometimes. The aloo gobi was stale and the other dishes were average. Personally didn't think it was worth the price, but if you wanted to try a lot of different Indian food at once then it's a good choice. read more

Horrible food. Tasted funky and spoilt. The palak paneer tasted rotten and so did a couple of soups we ordered. We'll have to see how other items taste. We had it delivered. Not sure if in-restaurant experience is better. I wouldn't recommend it esp if you are feeding kids as we were. read more

I've been coming to Minerva for years and it just gets better and better. The food is excellent and the staff is attentive and professional. They have a huge buffet of high quality choices. Something for everyone. The butter chicken is a hit and all the vegetable dishes are tasty. The Tandoori chicken is great. So my beautiful wife wanted Saag Paneer and many buffets don't serve it regularly. We called Minerva and they didn't have it on the buffet today. Then Alex made a kind offer. Come in and we'll make it for you no extra charge. Wow! So we came in and after being seated they brought the dish without us having to ask for it. What a kind gesture for a packed restaurant. I've been a longtime fan of Minerva but now they have a special place in heart. Minerva is the best! read more

Minerva - Delicious! - Indian Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Minerva has long been on my To Try list of local restaurants. Friends rave about it, and it is blocks from my home. So why has it taken me so long to actually roll into this nifty little gem? Well wow - I finally had the chance to try Minerva. And thank you to the owner and to Susha for making the experience such a great one! From the street, the restaurant doesn't really stand out. It is one in a series of storefronts on a teeny strip, wedged between other small shops that offer everything from subs or donuts to hair and nails to liquor or banking. But the bright and large Minerva sign and Indian writing on advertisements and posters is clearly visible, and the first preview of the authenticity inside. On entering - the pleasant smell of many appealing spices is in the air. Not overwhelming, but intriguing, and tempting the taste buds. The walls have colorful Indian culture art, photos of dignitaries who have visited (including the prime minister of India), and a very large flat screen tv where Indian films and more are shown. While the place isn't huge, it is much larger than it looks from the outside, and well organized with room for my wheelchair to easily pass by tables and chairs and booths to access our seating for 12 at the one of one area. And while the place was filled on the Friday night we were there (as soon as a table emptied, it was cleaned and re-seated with new patrons) , I noticed that even though the customers were quite diverse in age and nationality, there were many many Indian families smiling and chatting as they shared a meal there - which to me is a sign of the authenticity and quality of the food. Simply stated - EVERYTHING was great, and there was SOMETHING for EVERYONE! If you like spicy - they have it. If you like sweet - they have it. If you like savory, or mild, or veggie, or meaty, or crunchy, or soft, or whatever - they have it, AND, it tastes great! I ordered a meal, but shared with others, so I had the opportunity to taste so many wonderful new bites, and nothing disappointed. Our drink orders came quickly, and the water glasses were always filled. And the servers were friendly and helpful and cheerful, and very attentive without being overbearing. While they do have a full bar and wine and beer options, they only had two "light beer" options - neither of which being ones I enjoy, but that was really the only thing which was even a bit of a challenge (which really, isn't a challenge - I ordered a regular beer that I did like, and went on with my meal!). The samosa appetizers were crispy and well-seasoned and large, and came with green spicy and a brown sweet sauce options (I mixed them - and loved it). We also had other apps - rolls and crisps and other fare with spinach or meat or potatoes or veggies inside. Each tasted different, and each was delicious. For my main course, I ordered the cauliflower and potato entree. I don't remember the Indian name for it, but I will always remember the taste and the plating - because I will definitely be ordering it again! In the center of the plate was a large bowl filled with a wonderfully-seasoned and well-portioned mix of this goodness, accompanied by several pieces of warm and light naan. The bowl was ringed by small cups - some with different sauces ranging from yogurt-based to saffron to lentil and from spicy to sweet options. One small bowl offered rice, another a bit of a tasty soup, and yet another a sample of the dessert (oh wow - pineapple chunks in a smooth and just-sweet-enough mango sauce!). Honestly - every single piece of food - each with a different combo of sauce, or tried with rice one forkful, or on a piece of naan for the next mouthful - was great. I also enjoyed tasting a nibble of other entrees - including a beautifully spiced shrimp and noodle meal, and a light and creamy spinach and shrimp meal - both uniquely different, and both delicious. I enjoyed every bite of my food - whether I ate it there, or traded a bite for a taste of someone else's fare, or enjoyed it as leftovers the next day at home (yes - I brought home a towering bag of delights from the bountiful apps and entree portions). Everyone un our group enjoyed their food (and sharing back and forth across and around the table). And everyone went home happy, and full, and filled with good memories from great conversation during our gathering (which is not always possible in a busy Friday-night restaurant, but at Minerva, the noise level was a great balance of "filled with folks" but "still able to chat across the table"). The price was fair for the fare (hahaha). The place was clean. And fresh spice for digestion and flavor is at the door for a final taste of Indian culture when leaving. And while I wonder how I didn't try this place sooner, I knew that I will be back - and yes, sooner rather than later. Highly recommend! read more

Recently I have ordered take out from here a few times. Chola bhatura, chicken biryani and lemon rice. All of them were pretty good. The lemon rice was a bit oily but taste was great. read more

We love Minerva for so many reasons! Their food is consistently amazing and they have a large selection at their buffet. They have loads of vegetarian options, making it an easy place to go with groups of friends who have various dietary preferences and restrictions. Aside from the food, the service is fast and friendly. I highly recommend this spot! read more

Fantastic indian food. Amazing buffet that hits the spot. Great mango lassie too. I sampled all the dishes, they had all the classics.

Food good. Service hilarious. Our server was all business. He never introduced himself to us, but he did his job. Took our order, recited it back to us, left, refilled our water, asked if we got our food (when he stared right at it), asked what else we wanted, took his checkbook back, bused the table, came back to bus it again when the table was already empty, and checked multiple times to see if we left--to get us to leave? He reluctantly gave us small containers to bring the small dishes home and another bag. Luckily we were in a good mood or we would not have laughed when he was throwing the dishes he bused in the dirty bins or when he asked if we wanted boxes when we were clearly still eating...or taking our waters away when we weren't done... or when he returned to the table numerous times trying to clean the empty table while we were talking. Normally we would find a different venue to sit and talk at if it was busy, but the restaurant was pretty empty so we didn't feel bad sitting and talking after we paid the bill...without any water. Worth the food and experiencing William(?--the name on the check) throwing dishes around. We actually stuck around longer because we wanted to see what else would happen. read more

So the thumbs up for Minerva is that they actually have a lunch buffet ($14.99)! It is the only one we can find from Frederick to Rockville MD... thanks to Covid ;) The reasons I only give three stars are the following. Mind you, each of the reasons are minor, but together they dampened my initial excitement: 1) price for a weekday buffet is a bit high 2) waiters were doing their job but not very attentive nor trying to accommodate special requests...like providing hot sauce/pepper and making sure there's no ice in my water 3) salads, tandoori chicken and a few other dishes were down to the bottom before refilled 4) I requested naan and it took the waiter over 15 minutes to bring out fresh ones. The foods are not bad, as in, same as other buffet places. Tandoori chicken was very tender. There are quite a bit of dish selections, so I probably shouldn't complain about the price. read more

I've been searching for an Indian restaurant as good as what I enjoyed in Baltimore. I found it. All the dishes I tried were outstanding. Samosas, Palak Panner, Panner Tikka Masala all top notch. Currently, they are not serving inside, but I hope they will be able to resume soon. A restaurant worth supporting and enjoying. read more

Best lunch buffet in the area. Even during quarantine when the restaurant only took to go orders the quality of the food never changed. Must go here if you're in the area and looking for good Indian food. read more

If you are looking for Indian cuisine which is authentic and not the adapted version of it, you have come to right place. Though the ambience is that of typical Indian restaurant abroad, the picture of Chandrababu Naidu tells you volumes about what you can expect !! When you find curry leaves in the chicken chilli, you know they got the dishes right. From sambhar to varieties of chutney, vada, idli to upma you can find it all in the buffet. Must eats are: Jamun, sambhar, andra style curry, chicken chilli. I am not a fan of their naan and butter chicken. And I loved the fact that you could pack the food yourself from buffet, pay them per the weight as opposed to the ordering individual dishes and pay accordingly. Definitely going back there to try the dosa slurrrpp read more

One of the best Indian buffet I've ever been to! For about $13, they got quite a bit of varieties of food you can choose from. *Chicken Tandoori - A little bit spicy; 1 of my favorite dish from there. *Butter Chicken - A little too sweet for my taste, but still pretty good regardless. *Masala Aloo Gobidi - Cauliflower with potato; Probably my favorite dish from there. *Chickpeas - Awesome; it tastes good if you eat it with rice. *Goat dish - The smell & flavor can be strong for some people, but it's pretty good for me. *Chicken Curry - Not bad. the curry's not as strong as the ones I've tried before, which's not always a bad thing. *Falafel - Small and really crunchy. It's a little harder than I'm used to. It tastes pretty good with you eat it with some of the sauces (the yogurt one especially). *Mango Lassi - Highly recommended by my friend; 1 of the best mango lassi that he's tasted. read more

Whenever I crave Indian food, I head on over to Minerva. Situated in a poorly-lit strip mall, it doesn't boast an upscale location or class. However, the restaurant has great food and huge portion sizes. My favorite Indian dish is the butter chicken, which I always order with the "dinner." The prices on the website are lower than what they are in-store : the butter chicken dinner is listed at $12.95 on the website, but I think it was actually $14. The "dinner" includes a soup of the day, dahl curry, vegetable curry, a rice pilaf, a plum dessert, and four warm pieces of fresh naan. It's enormous - definitely enough to last two servings. I would even recommend sharing the dinner between two people, which would make this a very, very affordable dinner. The butter chicken's curry sauce is flavorful and the chicken itself is tender. I would definitely recommend coming here for your Indian craving :) read more

The food is excellent,especially the lunch buffet. The staff is very friendly and accommodating

I will be honest - Indian buffets are a waste of money for me. I have food ADD - I get distracted too quickly with multiple flavors and options, so I like to stick to 1 - 2 dishes and just enjoy those. When I went to their buffet today, I tasted a couple of things, but basically ate curd rice.. yeah. I paid $15.00 for 2 bowls of curd rice .. First world problems, my friends! That being said, the curd rice was soooo yum, as were all of the other stuff I tasted. For anyone who doesn't know - curd rice is just what it sounds like - yogurt and rice mixed together, and then tempered with ginger and some other spices. It is usually had after dinner to soothe and settle your tummy and also assist digestion. But I had it for my mail meal lol. Mu lunch companion loved the vada, which I did too. The Idli was okay and all their sauces were delicious! I found the fried karela a bit much, but people seemed to like it. The sambhar was also good, but not traditional (traditional sambhar is way too spicy for me lol). My friend also liked their Biryani - which is saying a lot, he is super picky about their biryani! I did not like their desserts, but then I am not a dessert fan. My family uses them regularly for catering services and they are very helpful and accommodating. Again - I don't do Indian buffets, but when I do - this place gets the job done pretty well! read more

This review is solely for their lunch buffets. Whenever my family craves Indian food, this is the place we go to. Let me say that even though they have so many varieties, everything that I've tried from goat curry to fish curry to butter chicken, it has been nothing but excellent! My mom who is a vegetarian appreciates this place for their large selection of vegetarian options offered. Every time I've been to this place, it has been crowded but even with that, we have always been seated right away. The service here is good with our water being refilled pretty frequently (and trust me, you need that given the food is pretty spicy here!) Parking is never an issue here either so make sure you try this place out, especially for their lunch buffet! read more

Minerva - Weekday buffet- amazing goat curry, tandoori chicken, green chutney and rice! - Indian Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Lunch buffet and regular restaurant review. Lunch Buffett: it gets REALLY crowded from 11-2 pm everyday. I mean the food is as good as it can get if you want traditional Indian food. As crowded as it gets, people ALWAYS come back for more! This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE go-to when it comes to Indian food (my favorite food). Minerva has a variety of options for vegetarians and for meat eaters. Such as: seafood, tofu, beef, or chicken. I've made it a ritual to come at least once a month, weather it's with colleagues or friends. Minerva never fails to disappoint. Consistent excellent service and food always! On to the restaurant: Attentive and informative staff, medium size portions, and great dessert selection. A bit pricy, but hey, you get what you pay for. In sum, Minerva has proudly served-for a long time- and provided great ambiance, service and authentic Indian food! I will always stay faithful to Minerva. read more

Worst place to eat Indian food. Sold Cut Mirchi as Mirchi Bajji. I made sure to ask that I am not getting cut Mirchi and wanted full Mirchi Bajji. After reaching home.... I called them to make sure if they made a mistake.... person on the phone tried to explain the difference between Mirchi Bajji and Cut Mirchi. And most laughable thing is.... they charge $7.99 per plate. Which means... each cut Mirchi piece is almost $2. Most expensive and most deceptive restaurant I found in this area. It's better to go to any restaurant in this area than going to this place. read more

i went to the lunch buffet THIS WAS GREAT!!! so many choices, from the traditional indian buffet fare: naan, chicken masala, chick pea curry to things more exotic: potol(special type of indian vegetable), goat biryani(yay!!) some of the food was spicy, but i love that :) i came with a big group of folks and we had plenty of room to sit my one gripe is that they charged an 18% gratuity, pretty steep considered for the buffet we were essentially serving ourselves read more

Outstanding food gets Minerva an easy A+ from me. Every time I go (and I've gone often) I'm extremely pleased with what I order. Service is quick and you get an impressive amount of food for what you pay. I can't speak to the buffet as I've never been, but the dinners are great. Get the garlic naan for sure. The vegetarian dishes are great though it's rare to find a dish that's spicy. Still, strongly recommend! read more

Went to Minerva's $10 lunch buffet yesterday (Christmas Eve) around 11:45am to beat the rush. Good thing we went early (thanks to all the previous reviews) because it seemed like everyone and their cousin started coming in around 12:30pm. Surprisingly, the restaurant seemed a lot nicer and cleaner than other buffets I've been to, and the waitstaff was very helpful and kind by attentively filling our glasses with water, taking our old dishes away, and taking pictures for us. The buffet had a variety of choices, which was very important for me because my bf is a huge meat eater, but my sister is a vegetarian. I, on the other hand, could go either way. What a stressful situation for me! Thank god they had a lot of options for both: the Vegetarian Sister feasted on eggplant, cauliflower, fried okra (YUMMM), egg, salad, naan, dosa, desserts, and etc, and the Meat-eating Bf devoured the goat, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, shrimp, and etc. They also had rice and other dishes, so 5 stars for variety! Yes, the goat curry and butter chicken ARE as good as everyone says they are! Perfectly tender, melt-in-your-mouth heaven! The fried okra was definitely another one of my faves because it wasn't too greasy. It was just perfect. Unfortunately, the naan was a huge fail. They were cold and did not taste fresh. Sometimes, my naan was half warm and half cold...I wonder how they got their naan to do that?!? Anyway, fail. The desserts were okay to me. I've had better desserts at other Indian restaurants. The Gajar Ka Halwa, the carrot dessert, was too sweet, and my whole family + bf felt the same way...even my sister, who has a sweet tooth. The fruit custard was okay but nothing special. They were just meh. Although their naan was a huge let down and their desserts were mediocre, I'd probably come back for their delicious goat and butter chicken!!! read more

What happened to the quality here? Both food and service left a lot to be desired. I've been coming to Minerva for the last five years but this may be the last time after all. The place looks dingier and more run down every time we go. Dirty table cloths. Our server just seemed in a massive rush to get us out even though we were only one of three tables. The lamb and chicken kebab were both great but the dosa and vada were cooked in old oil giving a bad smell. The "dinner" items were just old buffet items that they didn't even bother reheating. Very disappointed read more

This is for the lunch buffet only: The lunch buffet was decently varied but the butter chicken and chicken curry were both made of unsavory dark meat rather than white meat (which is served if purchased a la carte). The salad bar comprise a quarter of the buffet, which is lazy. The gulab jamuns tasted like they were contaminated with lamb meat sauce--when I told the server about this, he nodded and didn't do much else (such as replace it or apologize for the inconvenience). For $15 for the lunch buffet, I'd expect much better quality. As for other aspects of the experience, the parking lot was packed, the lunch crowd overwhelmed the restaurant, and there was frequently a wait for the buffet line, which is annoying. There are large flat-screen TVs inside to embellish the atmosphere. read more

One of the best priced Indian buffets with great quality in food. I get my money's worth every time I go there. This place is close to my work place and I go for lunch with my colleagues occasionally. I have never been here for dinner, so cannot say much about the dinner options. But the lunch buffet always delivers. What excites me most about this place is the south-Indian options at the buffet. Everything including the biryani, veg and non-veg curries are cooked in the south-Indian style as opposed to the north-Indian style cooking which is usually the norm at most of the Indian restaurants. I love the north-Indian style too, but it is a pleasure to have some good Andhra style food(which is relatively a bit spicier) once in a while to satisfy those cravings. Lunch time is usually pretty crowded here. Fridays get really busy and you might have to wait a few minutes before finding a seat, especially if you go with a medium sized group. Other than that, I always have a good experience at this place. read more

Minerva - Tandoori chicken - Indian Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

The food itself was so good here. Definitely had a few dishes I've never had at other buffet's. They had a larger variety of chicken and veggie dishes than I'm used to. I always think it's a good sign when you see a lot of the cultural people present wherever you are eating and I definitely saw families rolling in and out of there. Aside from the food, they also have TVs around so we got to see some of the World Cup games. I will say the server did not come by to check up on us often enough and that the location itself is difficulty to find. read more

My husband and I keep trying different Indian restaurants in around DMV area just to find one best. We have been here a couple of times for dinner. I've always tried their vegetarian thali with different curries and husband always has their biryani. Thali comes with rice, naan, choice of subzi, soup of the day, dessert of the day and few other curries. The standard of their food was never the same each time. Once the curry was way too sweet, other time, everything on the plate was cold. While the quantity if worth $15, the food itself is not actually great compared to other Indian restaurants. I was blown away the first time. Maybe I was just too hungry! It never happened again. Biryani is spicy and delicious. We once ordered rasmalai and gulab jamun and regretted our decision. The boxed ones you get at the store is way way better than what they serve there. The last time we were there, I saw few cockroaches under the table, and that was it. Every time we visit an Indian restaurant, it's almost always crowded. I've wondered why this place was almost empty everytime. Now I know why. They lose another customer now. read more

Yesterday, we ordered online for an order of Egg haaka noodles from the Minerva restaurant in Gaithersburg, MD. We picked up the order and when we were about to eat we realized that the noodles had "chicken" in it. We are vegetarians and don't eat any meat or fish. This shows how careless are the people who cater for food at this place. I understand it is a busy weekend but is not the responsibility of the people working here at this restaurant to deliver the right food to the right people?? It was an awful experience and will stay away from this place altogether. Zero stars to this restaurant! read more
