As usual, I like to arrive just as soon as a place opens. In this case 11:30am. I was greeted by a…read morepleasant fellow and I was told that I had to wait 5 short minutes for the lunch buffet to be ready, no problem there......it'll be nice and fresh! I've read other reviews that mentioned poor lighting, it seemed more than adequate to me even though it was during a sunny day. I grabbed a plate a got to it. I'd like to mention I really don't know anything about Indian food whatsoever, but I do know what tastes good and what is well made. I sampled everything offered on the buffet line at least once, some items several times. My favorite items were the Tandoori chicken, Veggie Pakora, Chicken Tikka Masala, as well as the Lamb Keema Matar and of course the Butter Naan. They offered Kheer Badam a sort of runny pudding for dessert, which was a lighter perfect choice and tasty for the end of my meal! Overall, the food was delicious and enjoyable. The Veggie Chana Masala and the Veggie Curry trays were cold, I'm not 100% sure but I'm thinking those two choices should have been warm. I ate them anyway however! The service was adequate, initially but later I was never asked for a refill of my soda, or water with two empty glasses sitting for some time in front of me. As well as having to ask for extra napkins.........which you'll definitely want to have! Paying your check was an interesting electronic payment experience. No paper bill at all, but a card reader is brought to your table and you pay and tip right there. Interestingly convenient I guess. Pintu's was definitely worth a visit and a great way to try numerous different kinds of Indian cuisine if you're not familiar. The bottom line is I left full and happy I stopped by. Mission accomplished!

I have to tell you, I have eaten in a lot of Indian restaurants--all over the country. (Not in…read moreIndia, lol). You remember I was a food critic in CA and was actually paid for my opinion. :) So when I say that Pintu's Indian Restaurant stands tall among them all, I am not exaggerating. The food is excellent, all made from scratch, highly refined and complex, and amazingly delicious. Happily, except for the fried chicken, there are no industrial seed oils, no Canola. They use butter for naan, ghee for sauces, and tandoori has no oil at all. Yay! Once we tried the buffet and especially enjoyed the tandoori and the chicken masala. I love their rice pudding. A very refreshing meal topper. Our favorites--Nav Ratan Korma, a delicious vegetarian concoction of nine veggies and pureed nuts in a memorable cream sauce, and Lamb Muglai Korma (I'm thinking Korma must mean vegetables), with tender chunks of lamb, simmered with nuts and raisins in a creamy curry sauce---to die for. And, of course, naan--this time a perfect roasted garlic naan, great for sopping up those cream sauces, so not one drop is wasted. Pintu Chawla, the owner, was gracious and friendly (I read some people said he is rude. I suspect they were the ones initiating rudeness). Our servers, Hemanth and Brian were helpful and kind. It takes a lot to make a success of running restaurants these days--more than usual even. Pintu knows what he's doing. His staff is well managed. And, even the Indian music and comfy booths make the stay very pleasant. If there were tablecloths, china, and crystal, it would rival any five-star restaurant out there. But I give it five anyway for the reasons stated. This will be our new favorite for Indian food--which we absolutely love when it's done well.

Got everything in medium spice level maybe I want a little bit more spice...but you know what, it was pretty decent for what I got! (The naan was SUUUPER GOOD!!!) Overall, I definitely recommend you check this place out even if you think it seems a bit sketch lol. Trust me. It is actually really good and the service reflects that as well.

My son and I had decided to give this restaurant another go. The last time we went we had the…read morebuffet and found the food too spicy. I had a list of what I was going to order-two items I had prepared to eat at home. The soup-chicken sweet corn-nicely diced chicken and vegetables was one of the best soups I have ever had. The garlic nan was garlicky and so tasty. The tandoori lamb chops with the lime marinade were some of the best lamb chops I have ever had in a restaurant. The vegetable pakora sampler-everything was great. The green salad-was large and fresh. I have zero complaints about the food. My son and I had over ordered and had plenty to take home---it was one of the best meals I have had in a restaurant in a long time. Now, for dessert, I had mango ice cream--I love ice cream-after each bite eaten I felt like I was in ice cream heaven. Only complaint service was on the slow side. Already planning my next meal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I opted for the Medley Biryani rice dish with chicken, lamb & shrimp (I got a little sense that they might've not checked my memory on spices levels but then again I chose medium so let's hope for the best plus was never into that raita yogurt thing for cooling down the palate) . I think it's one which might do seats for dining as well & if this an indicator my instincts says same thing for eating in & ambulance levels.

Update: I had the shrimp curry and my wife had the chicken curry. Both over a saffron - jasmine rice. A garlic nan on the side and I had a cup of lentil soup. Excellent on all points. I would pass on the soup next time, no lentils. Kind of a cream soup, just a lentil flavor.

I liked that they had an actual drink menu with classics whiskey, vodka, and other regular cocktails. I almost ordered a pomegranate whiskey sour but decided not to drink tonight. Instead I got a pineapple juice drink that was really refreshing. We kept it pretty simple with chicken tikka masala and garlic naan (which I forgot to take pictures of), and it was good. Nothing over-the-top, but definitely enjoyable. I also went a little out of my comfort zone and ordered the pepper shrimp in a coconut sauce. That ended up being my favorite. It was really good, and I'd definitely order that again. Our waiter was very kind. There was a slight language barrier, but he was so patient and still explained things to us. I even learned that the traditional clay oven a lot of Indian dishes are cooked in is called a tandoor. Overall, a really nice dinner. I love Indian food, and I'd go back.

On our way to Berkshires and we had to get dinner. This seemed like a good bet, so we stopped here…read more The outside didn't say much in the darkness but the inside was warm and welcoming. We ordered a kimchi jiggae (I wanted soft tofu but they said they couldn't switch the regular tofu out) and the hot and sour chicken. Because we got dinner dishes (indicated by the D in the menu), we were given a choice of any 5 banchans. We ordered the shredded radish, yellow radish, fish cake, kimchi cucumber, and bean sprouts. Wow, every dish was delicious. The soup was warm and comforting with that pungent kimchi flavor. The chicken in the hot and sour dish was so light and tender, I can't remember the last time I've had such well cooked chicken which wasn't dry or tough in the slightest. My favorite banchan was the yellow radish. We also ordered the cana soju flight (apple, green grape, plum, yogurt - however they subbed the plum for orange). Surprisingly, yogurt was my favorite while green grape was the least (seemed almost perfumed!). Service was quick and friendly. Overall a delicious dinner on our road trip!
