Went for the lunch buffet and was very impressed. The tawa chicken was awesome and the chicken tikka masala was as well . Also the vegetable pakora was very good. Definitely recommend the buffet .

Best Indian food in Columbia for sure, lunch buffet is amazing. If you are going for weekend buffet , make sure you sure you go early to avoid standing in a line . Did I mention awesome staff too :)

Portia White

The buffet had a good variety and the food was delicious. The rice pudding had a twist to it with the added almonds . Very nice decor and the owner stopped by to see how we were. Very friendly staff

Amazing little place. The guy who greets you treats you as family every single time. Don't be intimidated by the line going out the door...its worth it. Oh, and the food is great too.

Catia DaSilva

Honestly I don’t have enough words to describe the care and attention provided to ALL the customers. If you are in the business field you should be inspired by them..... in specially Binda !

Our favorite Indian spot! Been here multiple times and have had excellent service every time. Food is excellent. They will cater to whatever spice you desire without any hesitation.

This is by far the best Indian food I have had outside of India. The service is topped only by the quality of food. I highly recommend the rice dishes!

The real jewel in the crown! An unforgetable experience - from the moment you walk in, the ambience, first class customer service - to last bite of their delicious food. You will be back!

Possibly my favorite restaurant ever. The service easily tops any restaurant I've ever been to, and the shrimp vindaloo was so spicy it made my nose run.

Chutney is most certainly my favorite Indian cuisine around. What makes this restaurant great, in my opinion, is the fact that the food tastes great with big portion sizes and a good price. - Cory Ruppersberger

Hot bar items are indicated as gluten-free when applicable. Sushi is great but check individual packages - anything with tempura will have gluten. Rare bonus: their sushi soy sauce is g-free. Winning! - Jessamine Duvall
