“ If you think buffet is all about starter and desserts, then this is the best place. No offense to the main course section at this place, I was so obsessed with starter options that I didnt get a chance to explore main course. Loved the food here, each dish was best of the best! ”
“ Im so happy they opened up their buffet again. Nobody has such delicious Indian cuisine. The indochinese buffet is super yummy. Their buffet takes me back to the many years I spent enjoying the large variety of delicious food items at their previous location. I took one of their eggless mango cakes to a party this evening and it was the hit of the entire party. Everyone enjoyed! I recommend trying it out and their gobi Manchurian is my favorite. ”

“ A very nice place for family or group of friends.. We ordered chat, Indian Chinese and bowl of Malai kofta. Cant say which one was the best as all of that matched our taste and expectations. The owners are very kind and friendly. All in all, worth repeating, value for money and highly recommended. ”
“ We went there by accident as we just wanted to eat pani puri. We were not only surprised by the 15 early bird dinner before 630pm, but also by the amazing taste compliment and a review coming from a picky eater like me is ... . The menu was very extensive pani puri stand, vegetarian, nonveg varieties, ondemand miniveg pizza, pav bhaji, naans desserts including Jilebi and chai. Finally, the staff was very nice and went above and beyond! The only negative are the medium dining area and small parking. If you are going for food, not for looks etc this is a rare gem. ”
