Finally made it to Flavors Indian Cuisine! I went on a slow late afternoon on a weekday. It's not…read more"fancy" but more of a traditional non-chain restaurant, though it is in a strip mall. It's what I would call "nice casual." Black tablecloths, cloth napkins, plain walls, plenty of natural light. I ordered one of my favorite Indian dishes, paneer tikka masala and some naan (probably butter naan or cheese naan). Paneer tikka masala was good. I asked for low spice and it's possible I was given no spice. I could have gone for a little more heat, but not very much more. I stuffed myself and had leftovers. I'd return.

My partner…read moreand I stopped in for dinner on a weekday, and while the outside might look unassuming, the food was packed with flavor! They were decently busy for dinner with takeout orders and had plenty of inside seating. Our wait staff was very friendly and attentive to every table, taking great care of us. The inside was very classic and spacious, with plenty of room between tables. My partner and I started with the Aloo Pakora, garlic cheese naan, and the onion kulcha. This was a great way to start our experience as the waiter explained each dish to us, as well as the different sauces we could enjoy with it! For our entree, we got a generous portion of lamb biryani and chicken tikka masala. They confirmed what spice level we would like (1-5, with 1 being not hot and 5 being spicy). We got the 3 and thought it was the perfect spice level for us, as people that frequently enjoy spicy foods. To end, we got a ras malai for dessert, which is a cold dessert with milk and pistachios. It was the perfect way to cool down our tongues after the meal. We had plenty of food leftover to have for a 2nd dinner the next day as well, which is a plus!

A friend took me here for dinner. We went again a few weeks later. Both experiences were…read moresatisfactory. The service is super friendly, the menu is extensive and the dining room is clean. I ordered Butter Chicken both times and my friend ordered Chicken Tikka Masala -- we're both basic. They're standard Indian Entrees, but it seems Signature India makes them spicier than most other places. Don't forget Garlic Naan on the side! Is it the best Indian out there, no, but it's pretty good for the Midwest. They have the creamiest Mango Lassi's as well, but they're tiny for the price. The entrees aren't unreasonably priced.

We have gone to this restaurant many times - we liked it enough to recommend it to several other…read morepeople. However, today we got scammed there and were charged completely made up prices. We ordered the Chicken 65 APPETIZER, not the full meal. On the menu, the chicken 65 appetizer says $9.00, and the full meal says $14. When we finished eating and asked for the check the receipt listed the full meal price. We politely mentioned that we got charged for the entree instead of the appetizer - instead of correcting it, she told us the menu price was wrong and the appetizer is $14 now. We didn't believe the appetizer almost doubled in price from the menu, coincidentally to the exact same price as the entrees, so we asked what the "new" price of the entree is and they said $19 (more expensive than anything else on the entire menu). Nowhere on the Doordash app, Google menu, or PHYSICAL menu does it say the appetizer is $14.00 or that the full order is $19.00. If they just made a mistake on the check, it wouldn't have been a big deal at all - we weren't bothered and thought it would be a simple correction. But lying to us about fake prices instead of just offering to fix it was really disappointing. There was no one else to raise the issue with because our server was the only employee present. I would love to know how to contact a manager.

A perfect combo of grocery shopping and delicious dining, all in one spot. Their vast selection make shopping a breeze, while the simple, classy decor sets the vibe. Tried the Indo-Chinese: chili chicken and haka noodles, absolutely delicious! The samosa chaat and dahi puri are must-tries, and the Irani chai is a hit! Trust me, even if you get nothing else, grab a cup to go! The food packaging is top-notch, with tins you can take home if you don't finish. Perfect for summer chaat and hangouts. They do have a long wait, but they have a kiosk to off set the lines too. Their outdoor seating will be amazing as well on long summer nights. Highly recommend!  #stlhalalfoodie #DesiBites #Kornak #chaat #stlfoodfinds https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYxDBtEqNNv/?igsh=MTh3Z2xibnFqNTdjdA==

Decent place in a strip mall. We tried gobi Manchurian , chilli paneer , burnt garlic ( my fav ) fried rice with robust garlic flavor, Hakka noodle which I felt was bland and needed flavor booster , momos we tried paneer and veg both were bland . We ordered level 3 but felt it was not on par with Indian spice and could have gone 4 or 5 . Would try if in the area but wouldn't go out of my way to come here. Prices were not cheap either but they do run weekly deals on various plates so good to try more then.

Not really conducive to eat in, it's not a totally comfortable vibe. But we did! As well as a few other people that came at the same time. The service was great! Server guy, I'm not sure what to call him, was extremely attentive, personable and did pretty much all the running around while we were there. He handled all the tables, handled the people picking up food for take out, and did it all smoothly. The food really was amazing. Again, see the pictures I posted. We over ordered, on purpose, to try a little of a lot of things. The corn soup was different, but good. Seems to be a mix of a few cans of cream corn, broth, and a few chicken bits (if you ordered chicken). We found it pleasant. The fried spinach was amazing. The yellow curry was amazing. The Mongolian beef was amazing. Thank you for the rice, there was quite a bit of it and the fried shrimp (I forget the official name...fried shrimp?) off the appetizer menu) was AMAZING. We will definitely go back. Even if it's just take out. I must say....we took the left overs home and they made the trip just fine and were still good as left overs. Highly recommend. Let me know what you think, leave a compliment give me a "helpful" so I know you liked it!

We ordered samosas and tandoori chicken for appetizers. Definitely the best samosas I've ever had.... And I've tried a lot of them lol. Very well seasoned and the two sauces it came with paired beautifully. Tandoori chicken was super moist and flavor was incredible, exactly what you hope for. Entrees were butter chicken (had to try it here), lamb biriyani, and garlic truffle naan. Butter chicken sauce was absolutely killer, one of the better ones I've had. Good portion of chicken in it. The Biriyani was also really good, rice cooked perfectly, also good portion of meat on the dish. Large portions for the price. The cucumber infused water was incredibly refreshing and flavor was amazing. We were so full leaving there and so happy. Bill came out to about 95$ very reasonable for the amount of food we ordered and got to try plus the portion sizes. Service was great, checked on us frequently, very friendly and food came out pretty quickly. Would absolutely eat here again! Highly recommend!

Post pandemic there are significantly fewer Indian buffets in the area. Most Indian buffets that…read moreare still open have meager offerings or are of dubious quality. In reading other reviews about Minerva, it sounded like the buffet offerings were extensive. We arrived at noon when they opened and when the buffet was scheduled to start. We were the first there. One worker told us it would be five minutes before the buffet was ready. The second worker told us it would be 10 minutes before the buffet was ready. But it was not ready for 20 minutes. By then other patrons had arrived and jumped the line. There was a lot of variety in both meat and vegetarian dishes. One stand out was the tandoori chicken. The chicken curry was also good. The chaat fixings were good. There was chai as part of the buffet. Ambience was a bit odd. Water was served in bottles as opposed to glasses of ice water like most Indian restaurants have. Paper plates, and plastic, forks, and spoons as well as low quality brown napkins were the order of the day. You bus your own table. It was not the gold standard of Indian buffets, but it's better than any post pandemic offering that I have been to.
