Updated for dinner - If you don't care for pathetic service and unhygienic handling of food, then everything else is great.
I went there to try out their dinner and the experience was not good. The service was really slow and they hardly check whether customers need something.
Also they need to get trained for handling food, the waitress brought our Dosa and while serving she was not careful and the dosa was touching her dress (yuck). Luckily it was the side and I just removed it and had the rest.
One more thing is like many other restaurants the waiter/waitress clean the tables and they handle food. They just put their fingers in the food as they bring it to serve with which they just cleaned a table (yuck again).
This review is for the lunch buffet
Ambience - Really Nice
Food Taste - Most of the dishes were pretty good. Especially all the curries had proper flavors.
Price - Very Reasonable
Service - Normal
This is my new goto place for Indian food. I don't have to drive all the way to Bloomington for good Indian buffet.
For a long time Champaign had these namesake Indian restaurants which were no good. When Himalyan Chimney opened I was happy that they were able to make some authentic Indian dishes but they do not have a Buffet, the dishes are expensive and their packaging for togo is terrible, but I had to put up with it since I didn't have other option. Atlast we have a really good alternative and I hope they maintain their quality and pricing.
