Need to make WAR for Naan & BAD SERVICE

by Indian

I stay in the same ZIP code of this restaurant and here is my review after visiting the place numerous times:

1. This is the only Indian restaurant that I have ever been to in my entire life where in a buffet, you have to beg and plead for Naan (Indian style pita bread) as unlike all the other Indian restaurants, they don't make it available as self serve nor do they get a basket of Naan to your table.

The reason the owner gives is that "they want to serve fresh Naan". But I have walked out after waiting for over 15 min. on one occasion. I don't know if the waiters are specifically instructed to be hostile towards customers requesting Naan, but that seams to be the pervasive attitude there. Just this past week, 4 of us from our company visited for lunch and since all of us wanted Naan, we requested if they could get a basket of Naan to our table, but was told, we will need to "SPECIALLY ORDER" and pay for that!! Really, UNBELIEVABLE.

2. Food is palatable. However, to my taste buds "Mogul Indian Restaurant" close by is much better. You also get very good, courteous service, unlike the ARROGANT waiters here.

3. From our Company, we avoid this place at all cost. We go out for lunch at least 3 days in a week and Mugol get our business because in my experience the bad service here is not worth it.

• Pros: Food is palatable
• Cons: SERVICE

Still the best

I feel sorry for new Indian/Pakistani restaurants that open up around here. This one has beaten them all for the last 15 years and keeps going strong. Always tasty and fresh!

Best Indian Buffet in ClearLake area

by thecode

OMG, if you like Indian food you must try this place but in the buffet "form". You will get more food for your money and it's absolutely delicious. They serve buffer weekdays at lunch and variety as well as quality will surprise you and make you come for more! All the classic dishes (spinach, chicken, eggplant, rice with peas) and extra, plus you will be served hot flat indian bread as it comes out of the oven! The place is small and Bay Area folks fill it up pretty quickly, so come early!

• Pros: food, price, decor, romantic for dinner
• Cons: crowdy at 12:30 weekdays - place has about 20 tables.
