The food was really good quality and so was the taste. I just wish the place wasn't so small. Everyone had to take turns passing each other. I bumped my neighbor's table when I was getting up and spilled her tea, and I didn't even know. They need all the tables because they are busy but it is just really crowded. I wish I had the answer for them. Maybe add seating upstairs?

Decent indian cuisine , not the best one I had in Pittsburgh… paneer seems tasteless , not of quality and they use tofu in peas gravy instead of paneer …$16 buffet seems overpriced for what they offer, I would rather have $20 buffet at Tajmahal.. table seating space is limited and the service can be improved, in the middle of buffet while taking food my table was cleaned and prepare for the next guest! Only positive side was the Masala chai at the end of buffet, that was fantastic! I hope I would have had it again!

We visited this place for a buffet. They had a variety of options and the price was also less. The food is good and could be better if it was more spicy. The curry was kind of mild spicy. The buffet had vegetable pakora, samosa, naan, tamarind eggplant, pineapple chicken, palak broccoli, palak paneer, chicken Tikka masala, tandoori chicken, chicken Tikka, gulab jamun, carrot halwa, rice pudding, mango mousse and also many more. The tandoori chicken was not good. But the desserts have won my taste buds. Chicken Tikka masala and naan were also good. The starters were tasty and pakoras were also good and spicy. I had multiple pakoras. The desserts were very delicious. I would recommend this place for dessert. I never had such a delicious dessert in other Indian restaurants. All the desserts were yummy. I couldn't just describe it in words. I can say just give it a try.

Came here for dinner. Got Naan and Keema gravy. Naan was very soft, and even flavorful (Garlic and Onion Naan best). Keema was awesome but too salty. Still pretty good. Inexpensive restaurant. High quality food and hygienic (sterilized plate). Edit: Tried buffet (Lunch). Loved it. All of the dishes I tried were amazing. The best Indian food I have eaten anywhere. Would give 7 stars if I could. Would go everyday (lol). $15 for adults.

This is by far the best Indian buffet we have tried in Pittsburgh. The choice of dishes will cater to everyone's needs. The appetizers, specially the palak chaat, are very unique and flavourful. They also serve lemonade and a special spiced tea. The food here is cooked so well that you will not feel bloated. It is very surprising how they are offering such a nice spread for under $11 per person. Our server was a really nice and sweet lady. Very attentive of all the customers.
