The New Jewel Of India

At first, I thought it was a good value for the money. However, everything changed when you grab the plate for the buffet. The plates were definitely not clean, and it was slippery. You can feel the leftover grease from the plates. I think the worst part was when I had my first bite of their garlic naan. I immediately tasted and smelled the rancid oil, which made me felt ill. Given the strong spices in most Indian cuisine, I am not sure if any of other dishes were made with rancid oil/ghee. It further disappointed me with the price. While it is never acceptable to use ingredients that are about to go bad, the buffet was $19.39. For the price, I think there are better option out there.

This is a quiet, unassuming restaurant with a fabulous buffet. Great price, lots of variety with a chai tea and a rose drink available throughout your meal. If a slow paced spot with good food and kind service suits you, you'll enjoy it here! There is a lunch buffet every Friday- seriously can't be beat for the price and variety!

Accessible, clean, friendly, delicious. The jewel of Kenmore! The food speaks for itself, check out the pictures by happy customers! It was fresh, hot, accurate, and just right in terms of spice. It didn't taste like restaurant food that has much oil and mass food service ingredients, it tastes like real food with real nutrition that I can feed to my family. There are so many exciting choices that it can take a newcomer some time to look at the menu and make a decision. But if you ask, they will take time to look at it with you, talk about your preferences, and help you decide. Because I try to respect other cultures, they were even patient in helping me pronounce what I wanted, instead of me trying to get away with pointing to a menu item, saying, "yeah, that, thanks" and closing the menu as quickly as possible. Real people, real food.

One of the best Indian Buffets in Buffalo. Excellent vegetarian offerings and good value at 20.99 Thurs dinner and 14.99 Fri/Sat lunch. Dinner includes pakoras (or rare occasion samosas), Naan, Garlic Naan (included with buffet), six vegetarian dishes (occasionally biryani), four meat dishes, along with salad bar. Salad bar also includes cucumber salad, onion chutney, raita, all are excellent. Includes lentil soup, Rosemilk, and chai tea. Desert has galub jamun, kheer, and fresh fruit. For lunch it becomes 4 veg dishes and 3 meat ones, with no galub jamun or bhatura. Spice is mild enough for my spice-averse mother but tasty enough for myself. Pakoras have a fabulous crisp if you arrive just when they open. There is a sign at the front of the buffet saying they will charge you if you waste food. My mother was not too fond of Indian food but has now become an enthusiast closing in on addiction. Parking becomes limited when the restaurant is full, about 8 spots outside.
