  • We were here for an early-ish dinner on Saturday night. 5:30 or so. It was fairly empty. Parking is on 25th Ave, with assigned spots, so didn't have to pay which is always nice. The first thing we smelled when we got out of our car was DELICIOUS Indian spices = always a good sign! (I hate when you get to a restaurant and all you can smell is grease) The restaurant is cool, airy, and clean. If not somewhat in need of an update for dècor and general repairs. The walls where we were sitting had huge gouges in them and the paper was peeling. The wall hangings and decorations are in a somewhat state of disrepair. We had the buffet. The food was FANTASTIC. Fresh naan. Fresh curries (at least 8 varieties), homemade pickles and homemade chutneys. Very authentic cuisine. BEST Butter chicken I have ever tasted. The Goat curry(while not for everyone) was particularly delicious. The vegetable pakoras were phenomenal. The samosas were VERY heavy (very thick heavy batter) and overcooked - almost too crispy, but just this side of overdone, so were still edible. Fresh pappadums were light, crispy and delicious. Tandoori chicken was fairly standard, although - juicier here than I've had at most places. There were several desert options (my wife said the Gollab Jamun was fantastic!). And of course the usual yoghurt and cream type things. Drink menu is HUGE. Nice cocktails. We didn't try the chai or Lassie (since I'm lactose intolerant, and i didn't bring enough pills with me) BUT we WILL be back. The only things pulling this rating down were the dècor and the fact that they have a large bar area with a HUGE TV playing sports, and it seems that between the time of our arrival and the time we left there was a HUGE amount of traffic in and out to watch the game that was on, then out to smoke, then in to watch the game and out to smoke etc. etc. I'm not a fan of tv's in restaurants - but it seems that you can't avoid it in this day and age! The food saved this place for sure! I stick to my mantra that the best food is in little (or in this case fairly large) holes in the wall. Service was o.k. Not horrible, not super expedient, but hey - at a buffet, what do you want? Bathroom is small and cramped, only one urinal, and one proper toilet. This can be somewhat troublesome, especially when the spices kick in and you need relief! But it was clean.
