“ Hands down best Indian food I've had around Berkeley! My friend and I came at around 1:30 for lunch and were promptly seated at a nice window side table. The food is buffet style, so we could immediately get our food. There's a smaller section, but they still had all the options I liked - chicken curry, chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, paneer curry, lentil curry, a potato/veggie dish, and veggie pakora (my favorite) with other dipping sauces and desserts as well. they were refilling our garlic naan as we ate (included in the buffet) so it was always hot and fresh. The owners are also extremely nice and attentive! Will definitely come back for great food at an unbeatable price ($15)! ”
“ We like this place a lot. We were greeted by a very nice man and were seated by a window in a corner. The restaurant has a very relaxed, and friendly vibe. The food was very delicious, filled with aromatic flavors! We had chicken tikka masala, Korma vegetables, chicken biryani, and naan. We enjoyed every dish and can't wait to come back and try other dishes. The service was great and the owner was very nice. ”
“ Ordered Biryani, Curry & Naan. Loved the " Homemade Taste " !!!! The Owner was kind. A Local Small Business worth Supporting post Covid-19. Cha-Am Thai used to be here in the ' 90's. Up a Flight of Stairs. Quaint Ambience .... ”
“ Pretty decent variety of foods for a lunch buffet & I saw them refresh several items many times. The garlic naan was so fresh & delicious. Tandoori chicken was juicy & full of flavor, the paneer tikka masala was perfectly creamy, lentils and pakoras were also great. I'd definitely frequent this spot for lunch if I was in the area. ”
“ Came here for the lunch buffet. They have a good selection of popular Indian dishes (chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, paneer, etc) which were all delicious. You can take a max of 2 plates at a time, which is more than enough food for one person. They also give you complimentary naan (garlic or plain, your choice), which was hot and fresh. You can't beat the price (~$15 with tax). If you find yourself in the area definitely stop by. ”
“ This was so delicious!! My friend and I were around North Berkeley and decided to stop by for lunch on a whim. We were pleasantly surprised! It was buffet style, with several delicious options laid out in the center of the restaurant. I tried a variety of the dishes, and I think my favorites were the chicken tikka masala, vegetable pakora, and dal makhni. Everything was flavored really well, and it paired great with the freshly baked naan! We also tried the kheer for dessert, and it had the perfect amount of sweetness. Definitely check it out! ”
“ One of the few Indian buffets left in the area! And at an affordable $14 per person including icecream and regular/garlic naan bread, it's a hit among college students. Not the hugest Indian buffet with about 8 main dish options, but still some solid offerings. Vegetable pakora, chicken Tikka masala, veggie curry, chicken curry, basmati rice, paneer masala, chana dal, and tandoori chicken (the main favorite). The server there has always been so nice over the phone to confirm their prices/buffet for the day and is super attentive to bringing more naan bread & refilling waters. The restaurant is up a small set of stairs with an awning that gives a nice view of the street. A decent amount of seating and a cozy ambience overall. Will definitely be coming back ”
