Tasty food but a bit spicy for the kids. Budget buffet options. Not too crowded and parking was easy. Nice and clean and staffs are helpful. Plenty of food for adults but very limited option for kids. I suggest the owners give some thought on this. Some fish and chips or nuggets should do the job. We went a bit early for dinner and can confirm all the trays were full. Lot of vegetarian options if you choose not to eat chicken or goat. I liked the fish fry, paratha, dal, a few other vegetables together with the fruit custard and tea. Suggested if you like spicy food. Good luck

I have been visiting this place almost every week since 2 months. The buffet is just $21.95 and is unlimited. They never compromise on their quality and they are never stingy about their quantity either. I have now become a regular customer and even the staff have started noticing it! I hope they continue serving us without getting complacent in the future. All the best!

Revisited today and tried the buffet for dinner. Fantastic food, everything I tasted, great! The mutton dish was my personal favorite. The meat tender, the sauce a dream! Service very friendly. Atmosphere, with beautifully painted walls another big plus and even a musical underlay that rounded the picture. I am glad we live around the corner from the place

A very good quiet place. The food was very authentic the buffet was good choice of chicken and goat curry, gobi Manchurian, chicken fry, biryani (tasted very good just like home made with love), potato curry, dal curry, white rice and roti. Mint chutney and yoghurt to accompany. Bread pudding and fruit salad with custard for dessert. Each dish was really delicious. Very happy with our experience.

The restraunt was very quiet for a Friday night. We were the only customers. They had a buffet meal, but we chose to order from the menu. We ordered flame grilled chicken, mutton chukka, chilly garlic prawns, goat soup, Parotta, and fruit custard dessert. We thought everything was tasty except the goat chukka, which had too much fat. The entre dishes were a bit pricey but overall tasty food.

We must have been the only people who ordered ala carte, but Chettinad chicken and butter masala paneer was fabulous. Veg biriyani was very flavourful too. Will try the buffet next time.
