Customer Review
Came here for lunch and honestly didn’t expect it to be this good. The lunch buffet had a lot of options—curries, rice, naan, and plenty of vegetarian dishes. Everything tasted fresh and they kept refilling it quickly.
The best part for me was the live kabab skewers. They were grilling them right there, so you get them hot and fresh with that smoky flavor. The chicken and lamb were both really juicy and well-seasoned.
Also liked that they had chai and desserts included, which is a nice touch. Overall, good food, good variety, and definitely worth it if you’re hungry and want to try a bit of everything. I’ll be coming back.
