The buffet here is amazing - they don't skimp on quality. Come early for weekend buffet since it can get crowded fast. They have a small bar but lots of creative drinks. Tasteful decor and music.Upvote2Downvote- Jessica MSeptember 10, 2013The gulab jamun (spongy milky dumpling-esque balls soaked in rose scented syrup) and the sabudana kheer (tapioca pudding lightly flavored with cardamom and saffron) were excellent!!UpvoteDownvote

JaypsterFebruary 18, 2013Nice ambience and great food. They have good vegetarian dishes and for those who are non-vegetarians, the buffet is the best deal - $12.95.Upvote2Downvote- checkitoutFebruary 1, 2013Great food! Try the amazing vegetarian biryani rice. The right notes of hest, aromatics and a bit of sweet.
