First thing I noticed when we arrived for the buffet lunch in a Saturday was how warm it was inside. It was a bit crowded but we only had to wait about 10 minutes. Note the buffet is only available at lunch. The food is good but I was disappointed they didn’t have spinach paneer. To me that’s a staple at an Indian buffet. The naan bread was good and they were pretty good about bringing refills. I would come back but wouldn’t go out of my way. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

We came for the weekend lunch buffet and ate way too much. Expect a wait because it gets busy Food wise: they have limited options but the food is really fresh and tastes very good. The give you unlimited naan upon request and they have unlimited tea and mango lassi station. Their samosa is one of the best i have had in OC.

20 minute wait and $47 for 2. My favorites were the tandoori chicken, samosa, and yellow dal. Gulab Jamun was a bit small and dry, tasted like an older prepackaged option. Naan is served fresh with plenty of butter and garlic. Pretty clean and overall one of the better lunch buffets in the area for non vegetarians. Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Located in a rather unassuming spot, this place is truly a hidden gem. My friends and I went here for dinner last Friday and we were blown away by the quality of food and hospitality. We ordered chili chicken, karahi chicken (came with a side of white rice), mutton biryani , roti and naan. They served the biryani in a pot, perfectly layered, The meat was cooked to perfection in every dish. The karahi chicken was served in the same karahi it was cooked in! While some of the prices were absurd like $5 for a roti and $8 for lemonade, the food was undoubtedly amazing. It exceeded our expectations and we all agreed it was the best Indian food each of us had had in the U.S. The quantity of the dishes was good too. The space doesn't have a lot of seating and surprisingly not a lot of wait time either. I'm sure that won't be the case for very long!

Fantastic Indian buffet with verity of Indian dishes and on top of that great service. Servers come to your table constantly and ask if you would like more drinks, bread (Naan) or anything else.

I had a fantastic experience dining at this restaurant and I highly recommend it. The food quality is exceptional, and the taste is truly authentic. I have tried a variety of dishes, and each one was amazing. If you're looking for a delightful dining experience during Ramadan, their dinner buffet offers a vast array of options to choose from. Moreover, the owner of this restaurant is incredibly caring and friendly towards their customers, which adds to the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the place. Don't miss out on this gem!

Buffet! A little pricey but better quality than the majority of Indian buffets I've been to. Surprising amount of meat options. Would highly recommend and would return. I particularly liked the chai and cantaloupe milk as self serve drink items, as well as the malai tikka and chicken tikka. I'm also partial to goat biryani which was aromatic with good flavor. Saag, being one of my favorite dishes, happened to be missing from the options, which was surprising. Overall the food is not very hot spicy, excluding the little onion samosas that probably had chilis in them. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

This is probably one of the best value Indian Buffets in SoCal. The food was fantastic and refreshingly authentic. Generally buffets are characterized by quantity rather than quality and most of the food tastes the same. I am happy to report that this place keeps every item on the buffet original to its look and taste and it felt as if you had ordered this from their regular a-la-carte menu. They had chai and mango lassi as part of the buffet. Gulab Jamun and 2 other sweets for desert. They even had mukhsudhi and Rajnigandha! I will be checking my lease agreement tonight and we might be moving to Tustin soon 😂. I hope they keep it this good and not loosen their standards.

We had the buffet and the food here is very unappetizing, completely lacked taste quality. You cannot taste the seasoning of any of the traditional Indian spices in mostly all of the dishes I have tried. There's an absolute lack in flavor. I had to ask threes time to get us some more garlic naan and they never brought it!! This place has terrible service, the servers are not friendly. My wife and I did not encounter a pleasant experience. This is a disgrace to Indian cuisine. Future patrons, DO NOT waste your time and money! Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

YUM!! Really flavourful Indian dishes, great ambiance with music, and everyone there is so friendly! The owner is very down to earth and made a special dish for us due to some diet restrictions for my baby (i hate to be that person, but he was so gracious about it). The pics speak for themselves! Large portions, excellent taste, beautiful food designs, and quick service. Thank you!! Will definitely be back again! 👍 Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30
