Indian food that doesn't givie me the runs

Normally I’d be the last person to recommend an Indian restaurant. At one point I hated Indian food, and then it became somewhat tolerable. But this place I’d go to again and again. I came here for lunch time buffet and I loved it.

The restaurant just seems like some converted duplex in a residential area so it might be a bit hard to locate. When you go in there’s that familiar sign, “Please wait to be seated.” Don’t. Apparently just go straight to the buffet line. You get your food and then you either get seated or you just grab a table yourself. I’m sure it’s different for dinner service though.

The buffet is probably one of the smallest I’ve seen, but it didn’t matter since everything was so damn good. The chicken, the lamb, the curry, the naan, everything was delicious. The two times I’ve been here they’ve had different desserts. And they both were homemade excellence.

Service is a little lacking. You have to flag down the waiters to give you more water and more naan.

It may seem a little chaotic in here, but the food is excellent and well worth it. Anything that’s cheap ($8 buffet) and tastes great deserves 5 stars! Come here early for lunch since it gets crowded quick.

Great tandoori and naan

The tandoori is among the best I’ve ever had., and the naan goes great with it.

awesome hidden indian food place

It’s always a good sign when you actually see a lot of Indian people at an Indian restaurant. It’s kind of hidden since it appears to actually be in a converted house. The easiest way I know to get there is to just go down El Camino down towards San Jose, past Scott, then turn right when you see a Taco Bell.

The food is pretty cheap, 2 friends and I had dinner for about $22 total and we were stuffed.

The menu is fairly small, it fits on one sheet, but there are some non listed things they have. My coworker tipped me off to the fact that for Fri dinner, they have lamb biryani and on Sat dinner, they have chicken biryani.

If you’re looking for ambiance, this isn’t the place for you. Service can be iffy, it was loud when we went, and it is a fairly cramped place since it’s a converted house. But for cheap delicious indian food, be sure to come here! I’ll be coming here again.

What I ate:
  • ****

    Awesome level of spice and huge portions of rice and chicken. I could just eat this stuff all day long. My friend unfortunately liked this less since she actually ate one of the peppers in the dish. I found it to be a good spice level.

  • ***

    Not sure if that’s even the name. :( But it was pretty good, had a decent mix of vegetables in a thicker sauce, not curry. Had a nice kick to it.

  • ****

    Would rate this higher if I actually liked butter chicken better. Good large chunks of chicken in an awesome butter sauce. Not spicy, good and delicious.

  • *****

    Some of the better naan I’ve had. Fluffy and warm, straight out of the oven.
