This is a great little spot for inexpensive and super tasty vegetarian Indian food. The staff behind the counter have always been friendly and generous with samples. Today, I ordered the Special Cheese Dosa and they gave me a free cup of spicy vegetable soup just because I had to wait a couple of extra minutes for my order. So far everything we have tried at this place has been amazing. Getting a combo plate is a great way to try multiple curries in one visit. Full disclosure, I'm a big meat eater, but the vegetarian food at this place is so flavorful and satisfying that I actually crave it. They have some indoor and outdoor seating. Much less indoor currently than they had before the pandemic. The market has a good variety of frozen Indian food as well as tea, spices, dry and canned foods, snacks and treats. If you love Indian food flavors and/or really delicious vegetarian food you've gotta give this place a try!

First time here. Great service. Garlic naan was delicious! Numerous vegan and vegetarian entrees to pick from. The combos are a great deal. Generous portions. Only area of improvement is the entrees were a bit on the oily side. Overall great value! Free parking lot. Can get crowded around noon. Recommend going early.

I came here with my husband one evening for dinner and we absolutely loved the food! It was so good, so authentic and they make a nice chai! We loved the buffet style ordering and the ease of choosing your starches and your mains. We will be back soon!

My favorite place to get Indian food. And you’ll have to forgive me but I love a buffet. Always changing and a chance to try new things that look good. There’s also a full menu if you want. And, like a true Indian buffet, you pay at the end. And…..before you pay peruse the full grocery store for a ton of snacks, cookies, and of course spices. There also a lot of groceries to choose from if you need some paneer or yoghurt. Highly recommend for a meal and an experience!

Half grocery store and half restaurant. The grocery store side has lots of different selections for Indian cuisine essentials. The restaurant is vegetarian only but offers amazing and authentic Indian food. The flavors are intense and delicious. The portions are quite good and you get a lot of value. The 3 item combo is the best deal and every item tastes great.
