    This is the place I normally go and have their lunch buffet. Today, however we decided to go have lunch in the park (2 blocks away).. when I got there, I was helped by a young man named CJ. I ordered the butter chicken with rice, the tandoori chicken and Kashmir naan. i've been to this place before, but not in quite a while. The butter chicken was tasty as always, with the exception of we found two separate occasions of cartilage and or bone. The tandoori chicken was dry and not as good as when we do the lunch buffet. The Kashmir naan is filled with a mixture of pistachios and cherries and something else. I hate to say it but the naan just didn't have enough filling and 40% was just dough. Although there were issues, it's the first time we've ever encountered this and will hopefully see a difference on the next visit.

    At an appt near here decided Indian Food buffet would be a good choice. We arrived after the lunch rush and grabbed a seat. Selection of food was smaller than expected am broken into 3 sections: Meat-primarily chicken. The Vegetarian selections were equal to the meats. But larger than most restaurants we've been to. Lastly salad bar and desserts - including Mango Pudding, OK I'm happy. The food was excellent. The Butter Chicken was flavorful as was the spicy chicken. the naan was hot & fresh. There were 2 types of tandoori chicken. It was well - tandoori chicken - dry yet still flavorful. Even with the smaller selection we didn't leave hungry. Another bonus - even with the smaller after lunch crowd the food wasn't dried out. Service was good, empty plate were cleared and drinks refilled promptly. We'll be back to this store again.

    First time eating here. We went for their dinner buffet on a Sunday. Buffet was great with many vegetarian and nonvegitarian options. Food was delicious and fresh. Service was great as well. All employees were friendly. They also have a dinner punch card. 10/10. Will definitely be going back!

    The most delicious Indian food in Albuquerque New Mexico!!! We went to the buffet and everything was fresh and mouth watering My favorite items on the menu were garlic naan, plain buttered naans, chic peas, saag Paneer, Tandoori Chicken, chicken tikka masala and Gajrela! My husband couldn't stop eating their mutton curry. Will definitely go there again next time we visit Albuequerque and advice everyone to go there too!!!!

    Saag Paneer

    Ordered delivery. This saag panner is so delicious it brought a genuine tear of joy to my eye. There are so many beautiful flavor profiles - all in perfect harmony!!! It's really one of the best dishes I've eaten in my entire life.

The buffet is divided into 3 sections- vegetarian, non vegetarian and salad/ desserts. The salad fixings were minimal. The vegetable soup was nice. The food was okay. The naan was overdone. The dessert selection was minimal. I can get sliced apples and melon at the market. The decor is nice but booths are very dark , high and uncomfortable. I did not feel welcome the entire time i was there. My overall experience was lacking .The buffet( for what it is) is way overpriced-$18.99!!! I will go to other indian buffets in town.

The interior is aesthetically pleasing, spotless, and you can tell that they took care into making that space extremely hospitable. And the food has always been a 8-10/10. The buffet was fresh, clean, and well stocked. The other times I ordered individual meals they were always extremely flavorful, hot, and fresh. The Garlic Naan and Saag are always my favorites. I've tried several other dishes that have wonderful depth to them and are extremely well made. You can tell the dishes are made with passion for the craft. The service is fantastic. I really appreciate the care that is shown for every table that comes in, by every employee. I've had a few people taking care of me at each of my visits and all of them have made me feel welcome and taken care of. I always leave with leftovers, extremely satisfied with my meal, and feel valued as a customer. What any dining experience should be.

The new entrance remodel gave it a bit more class, with the interior being quite casual, spacious, ordered, and pristine. The service has consistently been great. Every single one of the staff members has been nice, attentive, timely, and quite forgiving when we make a mess spilling water. And the food is always flavorful, delicious, delightful, and comforting. The spice level can be specified and they deliver with the right amount of spice. This time we ordered the chicken vindaloo and the lamb mango curry with basmati rice and both bullet naan and garlic naan. The chicken vindaloo was at a hot level that gave some considerable and delicious heat with harmonizing spices. The lamb mango curry had very tender lamb chunks, with a sweet curry that has no equal. It was mild so I could have the full sweetness with a bit of spice. The basmati rice is always a nice break from spice. The bullet naan is fully topped with Serrano peppers in case you want even more heat. The garlic naan is equally full of garlic, fragrant, and neutral to find a break from the heat. Overall, this is a favorite of ours to get nice heat, comforting flavors, and a cozy and friendly place to spend some time.

I had the butter chicken which came with basmati rice, with a side of garlic naan and bullet naan. The butter chicken was very tasty and I had no complaints. I found the naan to be a little on the bland side. The garlic naan definitely could have used more garlic and the bullet naan more heat! The staff were super friendly with smiling faces, which is a nice change of pace from the usual sullen faces elsewhere. The place is a bit bare bones in decor but is welcoming overall. The only downside are the restrooms which were just barely clean and made you want to leave as quickly as possible. I'll definitely be back for the food though as my dish was delicious and I'd like to try the other options they have.

Server accidentally dropped a spoon from the goat curry, which was fine- but the Second Gentleman who came to clean it up, used a pink/orange cleaning rag on the floor. Then about 30 seconds later, the same guy is using that rag on the table next to us to clean it. And then, he grabs clean plates with the same gloves that were just touching the floor. All of clean plates were stacked on a shelf, which people walk by, and the bottom level had visible dust bunnies popping on there. The somosas favor was out of this world good. Which is devastating since I can't picture ever returning. There was also a 30 minute wait after the somosas were delivered until the curry arrived. We had been the only customer for most of that time, but somehow a table of 3 that got there after our somasas were delivered, got their entire meal delivered before we did? Our server was trying. Very kind, nice guy. I don't know if this was an off day or what....but.

I have tried alot of food here and all the desserts and I will say this. The food is much much better than the desserts. The saag paneer extra spicy is my favorite item here.

It won't be your favorite but you won't regret the exploration. Average dinner price for RR. Only 2 staff worked the Friday dinner rush. Thankfully with efficiency. The rice was not 6 hours old like so many Asian restaurant dinners. The spinach paneer tasted unique compared to other Indian restaurants, though not necessarily better. The spinach itself did not spark joy. It had a certain crunchiness, though that's not the right word, and I'm a saag curry food snob so I'll move on. The fish curry uses mahimahi. Can't blame the average restaurant for the world's declining budget fish quality. This place was no exception, on this day at least. The fish was the weak link; the sauce was reasonably nice if not a bit bland. The channa (garbanzo beans) tasted fresher than other dishes and the sauce was so good that we almost got a second order just for that.
