What People's Say About Place

I have never had Indian food in my life. Went with a friend who has, and we got food for the 6 of us. Absolutely wonderful service, you can mange the spice. We ordered our drinks and not even joking 37 seconds later had them. Highly recommend.

I have been twice for the lunch buffet and it sure does not disappoint. Similar menu both times with slight variations. Overall, the flavors were right on point. It’s nice to have this quality of Indian restaurant in the EC area. I wish it was closer to Rice Lake. I have heard their non-buffet menu comes with large portions. Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys Indian food or who enjoys trying something new. If it’s your first time, do the buffet to get to sample a wide variety and find your new favorites. Ps. The owner is INCREDIBLY kind and personable. Some you really want to root for.

The food is very authentic! We came on a Sunday for lunch and they had a buffet with lots of options. The person in charge guided us, explained the ingredients, and recommended some great combinations. Very nice person and excellent service. Definitely coming back!

I am so glad to have found an authentic Indian restaurant since moving to WI. Our host was friendly and accommodating, and was informative on describing the types of dishes on the menu. Wait time was so quick, seated and food brought out to the table in a very timely manner. Portions were very good, even had some left to bring home and enjoy the flavors all over again! Added bonus was the small store they have selling Indian food and ingredients. We left with some much needed supplies on the way out. The only critique I have is that it would be nice to have some background music playing (traditional Indian music would be cool) as it would add to the atmosphere. All in all, a most wonderful experience... we will be back for sure!

The buffet is outstanding! Authentic and delicious! Great service, the owner is very kind and attentive. The garlic naan was the best I’ve ever had but I loved everything.

The food was stellar. From the curry to the sauces to the best rice pudding I've ever had(so many tasty spices), it was ALL so good! The owner was very nice and even brought us over a sauce from the kitchen to try because we said we enjoyed spicy foods. The atmosphere was nice and quiet and the service was speedy and attentive. Definitely recommend this place for those who want authentic and delicious Indian cuisine!

12/22/25 Saturday Buffet with family. Place seems a huge bar and grill under transition to typical family dine-n-wine resta. The person-in-charge very courteous and attended each customer's needs personally. Of course there is not much crowd due to winter season. Coming from Canada, surprised to see the buffet containing good amount of dishes, bread, salad, yogurt, rice, and also adequately fried starters with associated sauces, in this area. I recommend this place, but at leisure to enjoy your family time at your pace.

Good selection and very friendly. Not many people were there when we visited but the food was still hot. The place could use a little fixing up in a way. I’d return again the naan was so good and included on the buffet. I feel the lunch buffet should be cheaper or at least for kids- I think it was still $18.99 for our 12 year old. All in all a good stop for Indian Buffet. Buffet do not include drinks.
