“ Food is always delicious here and service is very attentive. Price is great for all you can eat and everything is so flavorful. The lady always fills my water when it's half empty before I can even ask for more and my used plates are always cleared when I get back to the table from getting more food. I can't stop committing gluttony when I'm here. This place never fails to put me in a food coma when I get back home. I've tried many Indian restaurants and have decided to call this place home for my Indian food cravings. ”
“ The food was great, the service was great, overall a great experience. The meat is alot softer in this restaurant conpare to all of the surrounding indian restaurants. We had a lamb biryani which I thought would only taste better at muslim/Pakistani restaurants but the chef did a great job balancing the flavor of the meal. ”
“ Hidden Gem Alert! Delicious Indian Buffet That Won't Break the Bank I recently stumbled upon an incredible Indian buffet that completely blew me away. Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but the price was unbelievably affordable. Let's talk about the food. The chicken tikka masala was creamy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The chicken biryani was fragrant and fluffy, with tender pieces of chicken throughout. And the garlic naan? Oh my goodness, the naan! It was soft, pillowy, and perfect for scooping up every last drop of those delicious curries. Did I mention the naan and chai were free with the buffet? But the goodness didn't stop there. They also had a wide variety of other dishes, including vegetarian options, and a tempting selection of desserts. Honestly, everything I tried was fantastic. On top of the amazing food, the service was friendly and attentive. The staff made sure I had everything I needed and were happy to answer any questions I had. The ambiance in the restaurant is simple and small, but still cozy. If you're looking for delicious, authentic Indian food at an unbeatable price, look no further. This place is an absolute gem! ”
“ Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Parking: 3/5 This restaurant came very close to becoming my 5-star Indian buffet spot. They offer papadum and Ras Malai, which are rare finds in buffets. Most of the other dishes are comparable to what you'd find at other Indian buffets, but the reason I knocked off a star is the Ras Malai. I had high hopes when I saw it, but the taste leaned more sugary than milky, unlike the boxed ones you find at supermarkets. Parking can be a challenge since the lot is small and shared with other businesses. That said, at $15 per person, it's still a great value. ”
“ Stopped in for lunch with my son, who is Vegan and appreciates the many options they have on their daily lunch buffet. Indeed, the buffet is very nicely stocked with a good variety of dishes, including some of the restaurant's more interesting options (rather than just offering the typical Indian highlights). The rice dish, Chicken Biryani, was a tad spicier than usual, and I really liked that extra kick. It paired very well with their Chile Chicken, which was especially flavorful with deep and earthy notes. Saag Paneer had an excellent taste, though the cubes of Paneer were very small, becoming more of a garnish to the spinach rather than an equal player. Vegetable Pakora was crisp, while the Tandoori Chicken was moist and perfectly cooked. Garlic Naan was freshly baked and packed with flavor, and sauces like Raita and Mint Chutney balanced the meal perfectly. My son made the most of the rice, Channa Masala, Daal and a variety of vegetable dishes. There were also salad items and a number of sweet that we didn't try. And yes, they had some of the expected stand-by dishes, like Chicken Tika Masala, but I didn't indulge because I had so many other options. The wait staff and hosts were all very friendly and quick to get us whatever we wanted. They kept bringing refills of water and extra napkins, and were quick to clear plates so that we could return to the buffet. The only draw back is that there is very little ambiance to the restaurant, which is situated in a strip mall along Topanga Canyon Blvd. I would most definitely return for lunch, and even order take-out for dinner, but I don't know that I would choose to dine in at a later hour, as it just doesn't have the dinnertime vibe. But that's perfectly okay. The flavorful food is the point anyway. ”
“ So great for such a low price on their buffet. Everything was very flavorful but one thing was I wasn't too big of a fan of the chicken tikka masala as it seems it was too milky and not enough seasoning. But that was the only thing that wasn't great. The ladies working were very nice and joked around with us. It's a small space but it has enough seating inside and outside. ”
“ Update: (10/01/24) Food: This is our favorite Go To Indian Buffet either weekday or on weekends. I love all their food selections they offer at the buffet i cluding salads and desserts. The quality is consistent, the best Tikka Massala I've had. It comes with free plain or garlic Naan bread Service: The service is better compared when we first dine in. The ladies are much nicer and accomodating. Ambience: Always clean buffet table, not messy, entire restaurant is neat and spacious. I just wish they had hand santizer in each table though since it is an all you can eat, different peolle touches the serving spoons but it's okay, I always bring my own. They have parking but is limited, so you can park along the street Note: Price has gone up. It is now $14.95/ person. ”
“ Been coming here for the lunch buffet for a while now, it's no frills - the aunties are nice, service is friendly. There is a large buffet variety no matter what day you come for lunch and the food is flavorful, delicious, and spicy. My go to's are the goat curry (I think they only have this on Sunday's now- this is my favorite dish here), the tandoori chicken, chili chicken, samosa, and aloo cauliflower. We do not get the naan. Spice level on some dishes leans more towards the heavier/slow burn side (depending on who's in the kitchen that day) but it should be approachable for most people as not everything has spice. The crowd here is very mixed. Layout/how it works: It's a small-ish interior space with an outdoor seating area. You walk in through the side door from the parking lot (facing the donut shop), when one of the aunties spot you, they will ask you how many are in your party and let you know what number table to sit at. You have to request to sit outside if you want it. If you are a party of two, they will seat you at a small 2-top table if it's busy - remember it's a small place. They will also ask you if you want regular or garlic naan (most times from across the room), then you are free to head up to the buffet, you don't have to sit down during this whole interaction lol. Grab a plate from the right side and work your way left - that's the correct flow. If you decide to go back for seconds, thirds - whatever no judgement, put your utensils to the side on your napkin (not on your plate) and leave your used plate - they will clear it for you. Water is served at the table and there's a tea option on the far left side of the buffet. Once you're done with your meal, go up to the register on the far right side near the wall to pay. Bathroom is in the back between the buffet and register. The chairs feel super sketchy / wobbly but somehow are sturdy. Parking lot is shared and small, street parking is usually easier. ”
“ Indian food is my blushing bride's favorite, and buffets are mine... so lunch at New India Palace has been in the plans for a long time. Today was the day... hooray! We arrived about noon-thirty and was kindly greeted and seated in the well-attended dining room. The buffet offers a lot of options. Some favorites and some new to me. What a treat to experience such variety. The service was great. We were well cared for. The price is right. Apparently this is something a lot of people already know as many seemed like regulars. Most impressive was the number of Indian diners. Clearly a sign that the food is authentic and good. ”
