    Buffet selections. All good!
    Carrie R.

    I had great Indian food here! I grew up about an hour away but live in a bigger city now with lots of Indian options. My young nieces like to get Indian when they visit me so we wanted to get some when I was visiting them. So we trekked to Moosic. Since it was lunch and they had a buffet we thought we would go for it. They had a great selection. It was all super tasty and fresh. Would love to try it for dinner since their regular menu looked great. The place is really nice inside. The service was great. Particularly given they are the only Indian place for a LONG way... it was awesome to find this spot!

    They just gave me the smallest portion in history and charged me over $16 for it. Never get takeout from them. They gave the smallest portion and charged 16 plus tax for it! Response from the owner an hour ago What you want us to do? We gave u 30 dollars off for using clippers coupon ? We even used it for take out but being nice to customers we did accept it for you even though u r not happy and complaining then sorry we really can't make you happy Update: They did not give me $30 off for nothing. I paid for that coupon. Paid 15 get 30 worth. That's a deal u made with them, so why bring it up. Also, I tipped u $10. When u sit down and order the same thing. You get more. If ya gonna give less for takeout then charge less Einstein. You should have just replaced it. Instead of being rude to me. Tell the whole truth! So what he is saying, do not use the deal they provide online that you have to pay for. it's not free. Also, I called before. Said i am eating by myself today. Can i use it for takeout. I was told yes, then he tried to say no when i got there. Below are pics of what you get for takeout and when you eat in. WTF are the shrimp?

    I brought my niece in as we passed through for a sampling of Indian dishes. I took off 3 stars because we had to send our first 3 out of 5 dishes back. The butter chicken was sent back because it just wasn't good nor was it typical of butter chicken I have eaten ever (possibly because they use dark tandori meat pulled off the bone though that doesnt explain the visible spices?)... The goat vindaloo was returned because there was a course, short, black hair in it on our first and only scoop; the replacement was fine and I wouldn't order it again. The palak paneer was returned because is was medium/hot and we ordered mild to satisfy a teenager palate; the replacement was good. As soon as we told them of the problems with those dishes, they responded immediately which earned them a star back. The Lamb Kabab Masala was AMAZING! The samosa was excellent in texture and taste. The rice was fine, nothing special. The Mango Lassi was delicious. It was a little warm inside so other than a quick bite of the spicer palak panner and a few bites of the lamb, my niece's adventure in Indian cuisine ended early as she got overheated and had to wait in the car. The owner (I assume) did come by our table to apologize and to check on us. They even took the time to explain the difference in their butter chicken process and recipe as compared to others. Great customer service!

    My husband and I love coming here to take advantage of the all you can eat lunch buffet. This establishment is always clean, the buffet area is kept clean, and the servers are friendly and attentive. The food is fresh and delicious. I love that they have a variety of popular items so you get to sample a little of everything with rice. On this visit, I tried the rice pudding, which was pretty watery, not a thick typical pudding consistency, but I learned why. This is a delicious, creamy, and refreshing palette cleanser between dishes. It's chilled with a hint of coconut and I wish I started my meal with it instead of getting it on my second round. The Mango Lassis are a MUST. Would I return? 100%

    Came here one day while in Scranton on some business. Saw that there was a lunch buffet and we enjoy Indian food and enjoy it even more when you can sample a little of everything so we dropped in. The Naan was fresh and hot, that was a nice touch. A lot of times on an Indian buffet the naan settles to room temperature and it's not as enjoyable. The pakora's were also quite good, better than most Indian restaurants. Everything else to be honest was satisfactory, but nothing else stood out. There are a lot of Indian buffets we have been to where I remember a lot of distinct things about the dishes but everything was fairly run of the mill. It's not bad by any means, and for the Scranton area it's a solid selection for lunch.

    I was in the mood for Indian food while out of town for work so tried this spot. When I arrived I parked in the restaurant's parking lot. I walked in and decided to sit at the bar. DJ and Bobbie were my waiter and waitress. I started with a glass of wine and for appetizer I got the aloo tikki which was very tasty. I wanted to try the long island iced tea but I didn't care for it so stuck with the red wine. For my entrée I ordered the fish curry. It looked yummy when it came out. I dug in and it was very good and plenty. The bill came out and I noticed the wine was marked wrong in price so I mentioned it. They told me they have to change the menu because the price went up and apologized. Besides that the bill was affordable and I had a pretty decent experience.

    Fantastic Indian food. We've enjoyed several dishes from this fine establishment over the last 6…read moremonths or so: The Kaju Masala (medium spicy level) is very, very good. This is easily one of the top 2 curries I've ever had. It seems to be on the oily side, but that won't stop me from ordering it again in the future :P The mild spicy level is also delicious. I order the Masala Fries every time and they are always delicious. The Vegetable Malabar is fantastic. It's creamy and so satisfyingly delicious, every time. The Vegetable Korma (medium spicy level). It's very rich in spices and had all my tastebuds tingling. It's really good. My husband says the Chana Masala (mild spicy level) is up there with the best he's had. The heat from spices varies each time we order this at the mild level. Note: I asked for (and received) vegan versions of each. The Samosa Chole Chaat was one of my favorite dishes but their Samosas are no longer vegan, which makes this dish no longer available to vegans. I tried what they offered as a sub (Aloo Tikki) and it was good but not equal. Bummer!

    Full disclosure: We love Indian Food. We have eaten Indian all over the world. We are very picky…read more Went here for dinner. The place is a little "plain Jane". You order on-line or at the counter, and then have a seat. Very spacious restaurant with lots of seating. Food is not served on fine china or with metal utensils, so don't freak out. With all that said, the food was delicious! The meat (chicken) was so tender (and all white meat). The spice level was perfect (I enjoy it very hot). The service was also very good. We were served by "Bittoo" himself. They do a huge "take out" business as people were coming and going while we were there. Definitely will return. A must go.

    Very enjoyable evening. It's an interesting place, one side seems to be darker and more intimate…read morewhile the other side is brightly lit and banquet-hall like. We were met by the waitress very quickly and offered ice water, which was cold and refreshing. My wife had a Thai Iced Tea, which she enjoyed, and I stuck with the water. I ordered a bowl of Tom Yum soup to start and found it to be just a tad salty for my liking and I could not finish it. They took it off the bill and were very accommodating. For our entrees, we both had the Butter Chicken and Naan. It was very good! Not a thick/creamy as I have had at other establishments but VERY flavorful and the spice level was perfect. The naan was very good as well and perfectly accompanied the meal. We very much appreciated the attentive nature of the staff and will definitely return in the future!

    We ordered online and went to pick up, but the place was super packed and we had to wait an extra…read more10 minutes -- honestly, I was a bit frustrated at first. But wow... the food made it all worth it. The chicken tikka masala was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The fried rice was full of taste and not greasy at all. And the naan? Soft, warm, and just the right amount of char. I was actually sad this spot is far from where I live -- if it were closer, I'd be a regular for sure. Great food, just be prepared to wait if it's busy!

    Ordered Door Dash take out. The driver met the delivery window without any issues and left the food…read morewhere I needed it to be. Southern Indian is and was hard to come by so it was a no brainer to order from here. Ordered aloo tikki chaat, idli vada combo, karampodi masala dosa, paneer 555, bullet naan, and karampodi chicken. Ordered everything spicy. Nothing needed extra salt. The idli and vada were terrific, enough salt for flavor enhancement, tender inside, crispy outside. The sambar went nicely with both; felt like a soup almost. Both karampodi dishes were a little over seasoned, had to scrape some off, but the smell and taste was wonderful. Very unique type of chili blend, never seen it ever. The bullet naan was a little bit of a let down, didn't feel like typical naan, was a bit crunchier and flatter than normal naan. But, the taste was great also. I've never had paneer before but figured might as well try, since this "555" sauce is something I've never had. To me, it has the mouth feel of tofu on the outside, but a nice firm but tender chew. The chili sauce is pretty spicy but quite tasty. Lastly, the aloo tikki chaat eats like curried mashed potatoes because it's take out, but I like the format. The chaat masala topping breaks up the mashed potato texture and adds crunch. Overall, only negative is I didn't order rice, should have. I'm a fan of spicy food but with all this food it's a bit too spicy to eat without a starch. Definitely will order again.

    We went there today. Great food. We got orders of Tikka Chicken Marsala, Garlic Naan and Garlic…read moreParm wings with fries. The food was fantastic. The only minor gripe is that they don't bring the food out altogether. Wings and fries came first. Then the Rice and chicken, then later the naan. U get the naan to eat with your food not 7 to 10 min after. The service was great, They have a cool little area to eat. A public restroom and the service is great. A lot of the stuff was served to us in to go containers and paper plates, though. So we took it to go and got out of there We deff would go back, though. Food and service were fantastic. They have better tikka then the Amber does and a lot nicer service.
