Am still absolutely in love w/ this restaurant! Thank you, Dave O, for reminding me. Even w/ yesterday's hair, no makeup, & flops, I was welcomed today by Shiva:) This restaurant is clean, bright, & staff is not only friendly, but accommodating; they'll allow patrons to order from the menu while their GORGEOUS BUFFET (see pics) is offered, & they've twice cooked me an entree that was not on the menu.
Today I went WILD-- Chicken Korma (my favorite, but off the menu), Chicken Tikka Masala ($14.99), Garlic Naan, Vegetable Samoa ($5.99), & a most DELICIOUS Mango Lassi ($3.99 yogurt drink). (They tossed in the yummy tzatziki @ no charge.) Most of this food will end up in my freezer, so I'll enjoy it many additional times. (This is a tolerable pitfall of living alone & eating out nightly & every weekend. First world problems:) Just look @ the pics to see how much meat is included in each entree! So impressive!
The only negative I experienced today was that the two or three male staffers wore no name tags & no special shirts. In a restaurant filled w/ Indian men their ages, it was difficult to know who to approach w/ questions & w/ my order. It was quite confusing. One man eventually greeted me, quickly offered me a seat in the dining room & brought me a menu. But knowing who to reach out to after that was difficult; it is my hope that management reads their reviews so they rectify the issue.
Definitely a TOP NOTCH Indian restaurant-- at least to this French speaking gringo :) -

Food that tastes authentic and nice. Gobi manchurian that actually tastes like the one you get in the streets of india. I was vegetarian for the day and considering I dont like vegetables it is a difficult thing to convince me but I was blown away by the food. I ate gobi manchurian and chole bathura and it was yum. My daughter had tandoori chicken and actually finished stuff on her plate. I was pretty impressed by the food, decor, friendliness of the staff. One of my friends ordered chicken Biryani and the smell was so so tempting, Quantity was huge.
A good indian restaurant that Tampa has been waiting for since long.
Parking is not a problem, there is ample space. Will I visit again - Definitely yes. -

I'm quite disappointed about my experience today here.
I'm a deep lover of Indian food and I was so excited to try the food here and maybe even have a new place to go to if I'm craving Indian food.
I came for the lunch buffet. Now there are vegetarian and meat options as well as a few desserts to tie it all together.
Atmosphere was quaint and quiet. The place itself wasn't a complaint.
I'm thoroughly upset though about the service. The food was good but we had to wait almost 20 minutes each time for a refill of food and it wasn't even busy. I'd very much understand if the restaurant was packed but there was only like 15 people in the restaurant with a seating capacity of almost 50~60.
When we asked the front-of-house about the food, we kept being told that the food would come our soon, yet we waited and waited, and still the food hadn't been replenished.
Another major complaint was just about getting a refill of water. Now I understand being the only person up front doing the bussing and the food replenishment because I've been front-of-house and a server before. I gave the girl the benefit of the doubt and waited about 15 or so minutes to see if she would come over and ask if we needed any refills or anything, but timed passed and in her "free time" she spent it talking to the tables closest to the register area and chit-chatting with other customers. This is when I took the initiative to ask her if we could get a refill and she said she would be over momentarily as she was expediting food out from the kitchen. Satisfied at the time, I sat back down and waited. Sadly, time passed again and once she was done expediting food and ringing out a few customers, it seemed as though she forgot or (at this point) didn't care that we've been waiting for water for almost 30 minutes.
At this point, I just grabbed me and my mother's cups and went over by the waitstaff's section and refilled my own water. I wouldn't be upset if they were upfront saying that we would need to refill our own water but seriously, the place isn't so big that you'll forget to check up on the outlying tables.
This place is a "been there, done that" type of deal, and I won't be returning. -

Visited on a rainy Saturday night for dinner. The restaurant was poorly lit outside & difficult to locate. As a starter I had the veggie platter, it was a mix of fried Indian treats, my favorite item was the samosa. I had the Goat Chettinadu dinner spicy - the goat was tender and peppery. Overall, good experience.
The restaurant appeared to be family owned & service was excellent. -

Not just so many nonveg items but a lot of vegetarian items too! I have tried 95% of the Indian buffet in Tampabay and there are only couple which I like but I guess I just found another one.
Compare to other Indian restaurant they didn't load all the food with sodium (salt) which is one of the reason I would come back for the buffet. Good service, good tasting food. I will definitely come back... Oh, my fav part was ending the meal with pakoras and nice Hot chai which inclided in the buffet
