We went for the all you can eat buffet in a Saturday and there was some people but it wasn't crowded so we were able to get a table instantly. When we went for our food it looked delicious they had butter chicken, chicken tiki masala, rice, Naan, lamb curry, yogurt curry, and more! They even had a vegetarian options for vegans. This is a must try buffet in Hayward. (They only have the buffet option for the weekends)

Everytime we're visiting the Bay Area we stop by for some Indian at this location. Food is delicious and quality is consistent. We love dining in but we usually pick up to go and food is always warm and fresh!

This is my go-to spot for Indian food! I like their butter chicken, chicken masala, and garlic naan. If you never had Indian food before I recommend those items to order! I've been here for the buffet and regular hours. I believe they only have the buffet now on the weekends, and it is only for dinner. The service here is pretty good; they're fast at getting your food to the table. The place itself is roomy; they have a lot of tables and even booths. Overall, I would definitely come back here and try other Indian dishes!

This review is specifically regarding the weekend dinner buffet. For a buffet, the items are filled at a decent rate, and they drop off waters when you're seared. The food is all pretty tasty. One thing I miss is the fresh naan brought to your table, now it's on the buffet. Some standouts for me are the fish pakoras, saag, eggplant, chicken tikka and tandoori chicken. They offer chai that's pre sweetened, but not overly sweet (honestly I take mine without sugar when I have the chance, but theirs is manageable). They also offer kheer and mango soft serve. They're great handling larger groups too! So, whether you're here for a family dinner, or you want to introduce a friend to Indian food for the first time, they have something for everyone.

Really enjoyed our meal here! Everything tasted incredible - I definitely want to come back and try the buffet. No complaints about service, as they were very attentive. I got lots of free refills of my chai :) Authentic flavors and delicious - lives up to the name of being the favorite! My personal favorite was the palek paneer and the butter chicken. No matter what base you eat it over (rice, naan, etc) everything goes well with each other, and you can mix and match sauces and proteins with your bases as well. Please note that the buffet is only on Fridays and Saturdays for dinner (5-9pm).
