I was pleasantly surprised to find this Indian Restaurant tucked away inside the Rio. The restaurant is a bit small, but very beautiful. This is the nicest Indian Restaurant I've ever been in and you're even greeted by 2 elephant statues at the entrance. They have a lunch buffet from 11am-4pm for less than $20 and it has all the usual Indian Buffet type food. There's a good condensed mix of veggie and meat dishes, which I find to be common with most Indian Buffets. The food tasted great, but I wish it had been a bit more spicy. Usually Indian Buffets stay more on the mild end to appease everyone, so no big deal. The Garlic Naan was amazing though. Probably the most perfectly baked Naan bread I've ever had. It was perfectly crisp, without being burnt anywhere and just tasted amazing.
If I ever come back to the Rio again, this will be the only place I eat. This is definitely my top pick for food at this Casino. Especially if you're looking to get a quick bite and not spend 2 hrs waiting in a major buffet line or waiting for a restaurant reservation.
