Good food.

by debbielovemycakes at Citysearch

I don't agree with that guy that said this was the worst place. As a matter of fact, I had a great experience. Every Indian place I've been to has their own taste. Something tells me that if this guy needed to type out his order he was a pain in..

I had a great meal.

WORST INDIAN RESTAURANT EVER!!!

by AudioVisual at Citysearch

WORST INDIAN RESTAURANT I HAVE EVER HAD TO DEAL WITH!!!! Placed order through their online delivery system,I thought it was impossible to mess my order up since it was typed down and simple yet they still manged to. What Indian Restaurant serves you 2 currys and no rice? Instead of apologizing and attempting to remedy the situation, they were rude and antagonistic and ignored my phone calls and complaints. When I ask for them to come back to give me what I paid for he said it would take an additional 20- 30 minutes after I had already been waiting 45 min for my order in the first place. I had no interest in paying $40 and eating cold food so I asked for a refund and had to fight for it The delivery guy claims to have returned to my house but left after "I didn't come out" however he never rang my doorbell or even knocked on my door. I have 3 dogs that bark their heads off when anyone is nearby and they were silent.

Good Buffet!

by SuzanneKatch at Citysearch

When it comes to Indian food I am pretty picky.

Three of us went to The happy hour buffet after a little shopping. I have to say, I was impressed with the variety offered for the money, the food selection was quite good. The décor was a little dated, (it also looked a little worn out) but who cares – we had a great time and got out of there without spending hardly any cash!!

Simply disgusting

by CSMobileUser2 at Citysearch

The customer service isn't that bad, I give it a 3 1/2 out of 5, But their food was horrid. My plate was supposed to be spicy, and the chile's were raw to an extent. It might have been a bit undercooked and it was not nicely set up on the plate. It didn't have much texture to it, and it wasn't delicious one bit. The utensils looked dirty and I honestly even felt a bit disgusted just by looking at everything. Restaurant rating: 0.2 out of 10
