Having lived in LA, Seattle, NYC, San Jose, my bar is high. Clean, well decorated and buffet was well stocked. Mutton was done well, melted in my mouth.

Vayals is my favorite Indian restaurant close to downtown. I love mom and Pops, but sometimes feel…read morethat when I share a great restaurant that some who don't appreciate good Indian food will have other expectations. That being said, Vayals is authentic, flavorful, and extremely affordable for lunch during the week. I would also add that their best menu is their lunch menu simply by the volume of lunch visitors they have. I believe I've only gone there once and haven't seen the place entirely packed, but there is enough seating for groups of four. I usually get the buttered chicken or chicken tikka, which is accompanied by two flavorful sides that are usually tofu and spinach or onions and potatoes. The protein is served with rice and naan bread. There's additional parking on the south side of the property with access to the Greek restaurant in 5th Ave., Café. The portions are outstanding and I recently took two friends who never had Indian food before and now I want to go back.

Let's skip the parking drama and get to the food and restaurant. Well stocked bar although I didn't partake of adult beverages today. Instead I did the non alcoholic mango lassi (I had this drink for the 1st time at my new favorite Indian buffet & it was phenomenal there) so I tried theirs and it was banging too. Interior is nice Indian music playing and multiple TVs going some with Indian cooking, Indian dance, and news. When you come in greeted and seated quickly. If you see my other reviews when I go to any special ethnic restaurant, when I see their culture eating there you already know it's going to be TASTE BUD HEAVEN. I did the chicken curry Tika masala, the bao bun, and garlic naan. Yup it was good as Heck. 5 stars every dish. Very pleased. I'm so relaxed with the music I want a coffee but I'm full.

You don't have to order rice in addition to the chicken tikka masala if that's what you order, which is nice. I am glad that this is the case because it was a little more than what I was expecting to spend. However, I do think that the price was okay for dinner. Another note that I will offer about the food is that they do allow you to customize the spice levels, which is nice. The service was more than I had ever expected, especially for just having placed a to go order. They allowed me to sit inside the restaurant while I waited for my food, noted that I was waiting on my order so that it would come out in a reasonable time, and also offered me a to go water while I was waiting. The containers that my food came in are honestly ones that I could reuse. The ambience of the restaurant is also nice. There is a nice patio with different types of seating to accommodate all needs. The inside has a nice bar and they have music playing at a volume that allows you to listen, but it's not too loud. There is also a separate parking lot across the street that is reserved for customers of the restaurant, which is really nice since it is located in downtown. I will definitely be coming back to dine in.

India Palace on Bell is one of those strip-mall places that completely overdelivers…read more The lunch buffet is an amazing value. Not just cheap and filling, but actually good. The food tastes like someone cares, and it's kept fresh and rotating instead of sitting there dying under heat lamps. This is one of the few buffets where I don't feel like I'm compromising quality just because it's a buffet. The garlic naan deserves its own paragraph. It's legitimately great, and it's dangerously easy to keep grabbing just one more piece. Easily one of the highlights and clearly something they do right consistently. Menu-wise, the usual favorites show up for a reason. Chicken tikka masala, saag or palak paneer, biryani, vindaloo. Portions are generous if you order off the menu, and they're generally willing to adjust spice levels if you ask. Service is friendly and straightforward. No attitude, no upsell nonsense, just people doing their jobs well. In short, solid food, great value, and one of the better lunch buffets around.

After that, I ordered the chicken tikka masala which really delicious too, lots of flavor! We also ordered a side of paneer naan which was awesome! I'd never had stuffed naan before and this stuff was amazing. I would definitely order it again. A really great place to eat Indian food at, definitely recommend stopping in for dinner or lunch, I think they have an all you can eat lunch buffet.

The garlic naan was exactly what I'd been craving, the rice was cooked to perfection, and the chicken tikka masala was incredible.

Definitely coming back to the lunch special I came for dinner so it was a little bit more expensive than I thought.

Awful. Horrible. Terrible. Slop!…read more We invited friends to our house. Since we liked Indian food we decided to try this place for take-out. One of our friends is from India and when my husband and I lived in NYC, we ate Indian food frequently. We wasted over $100 on the worst Indian food we ever tried. We threw it out and went to Uncle Sal's, our go-to emergency spot. It was Saturday night so there was no excuse for serving such horrible food. Everything looked and tasted the same. We couldn't tell the difference between cauliflower, potatoes, eggplant or chicken. Mysterious, overcooked chunks were swimming in oil. Tomato based sauce tasted the same as butter sauce and tandoori flavors. BaganBartha looked like green vomit. Other dishes looked like diarrhea that had sat on a steam table since their lunch buffet. There were no discernable nuts or raisins in the Biyrani. We asked for Mango chutney but they couldn't find it. We asked for mild to medium heat level but it was as hot as the hottest Vindaloo we've ever eaten. To top things off, they asked us to call back in 5 minutes to order because the cash register was broken. Seriously? On a Saturday night? We should not have called back and we won't be back. ICK. We're glad we went elsewhere or we might have gotten ill. Spare yourselves.

We…read morereally love Indian food and have tried other places, but none of them do it like this location. Every time we come, we end up ordering the same thing because it is just that good. We even joked about trying something new, but of course we ordered our usual again but we recently found out they have a buffet on Sundays, which is really nice if you want to try different dishes or expand your palate! The garlic naan is always a favorite, super savory and hard to stop eating. You can also choose the spice level for the masala. We finally tried the spiciest level, and I would say to be careful with that one. We would recommend medium instead. We are Hispanic and even for us the spiciest level was a little intense on our gastrointestinal system, but we still ate everything. If you want authentic Indian food with great spices, this is the place to go. It is usually pretty empty when we visit, which surprises us because the food is so good. We hope this place gets longer waits and we will definitely be eating here many more times.

Thankfully, Namaste has a vegetarian section with vegan options on its menu. Good thing, because I was hungry. Can't really speak about smoky Indian food without mentioning baingan bharta, a smoky mashed eggplant curry which happens to be one of my favorites. Ordering this dish at a place like Namaste was a no-brainer. The smokiness, combined with the richness and thickness of the mashed eggplant, was really satisfying. The bhindi masala, tender-crisp okra sauteed with a spiced onion-tomato gravy, was a tasty complement, with a balance of savory, spicy, and tangy flavors. If you have any doubts about the menu, talk to the friendly servers. And make sure you specify the heat level. Medium-spicy is a proper medium; it is not mild. So, for those who are sensitive, make sure you tell your server. Enjoy!
