The exterior doesn't look great but went in and ordered Halwa Poori and Veg spring rolls. They took 20mins to complete it. Halwa and poori were so fresh and delicious. Took another box of Halwa as it was soo good!! Spring rolls were freshly made too. Good experience, they have big catering menu but only less varieties to dine in. Will visit again to try other foods.

I was hungry to taste south Asian spicy food. I never visited google found me one. Exterior looks like a house of grandpa grandma. It’s buffet on Sunday with all items puri, vada, bonda, naan goat biryani fruits and lots more. The best I like is goat biryani and spicy chicken curry , pani puri chat with kabul chenna. Overall it’s owned by Pakistani bhai chef is an espanol customers are all over from Arkansas. You can try every week. 5/5 . The only thing bother about is restroom it’s clean but don’t look like

The best Indian buffet I've ever had. The buffet options change every week and the vegetarian options are super flavorful. Highly recommend the mango Lassi when they have it.

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in the LR Metro. Salim is a great guy and an even better cook! His Mutton Biryani is the best I have ever had. His Bhuna Chicken is my favorite dish, but I am still trying to get him to make it on a friday! :) Call first before arriving or join his Whatsapp group since some days Salim can get very busy with catering orders.

We ended up here by a happy accident - the Indian restaurant we typically eat at when she comes to town was closed. Hands down the best and most authentic Indian food I’ve had in a very long time. Total hole in the wall - will make you feel like you know a secret spot. Cannot recommend more highly!

Old man always upcharges me and never gets my order right. He does this on purpose. I will never go to this dump again because of this old man. Terrible service.

This is my new place. I cannot wait to go here again. I ordered the Biryani 65 and Butter Chicken. I know that Biryani has big variation as it's a popular dish from India to Lebanon and everywhere between. This one had lightly breaded chicken, which I've never had, and a delicious spicy sauce. It arrived to the table first. We were given a garlic yogurt sauce that reminded me of ranch but the rice was delicious plain. After a few minutes, the butter chicken arrived with the samosas that I also ordered. The butter chicken is not like anything I have ever had. It had a deeper red color and richer flavor. Everything was delicious! The rice was very plain but when you put the butter chicken over the rice it's exceptional! So it all worked together brilliantly.The samosas appear to be sweet potatoes and not white potatoes so this was a surprise. Delicious and so was the red chutney sauce. Meal for two, one drink and one water, and samosas and 20% tip was under 40. I'm extremely happy with everything: the food, price, those that work there, the inside of the restaurant, the music. I will absolutely be returning and ordering food here.
