We had good expectations based on the previous reviews and pictures. Unfortunately, our experience at the lunch buffet was not good. (March 2022)
The place seems to have changed a lot because they didn’t have many of the items shown in previous review photos. The restaurant was not clean nor organized. The selection of food was extremely limited. No desserts were served. They told us there was a cake in the refrigerator that we could take a piece from (never experienced this in a buffet). Taste was average at best.
The waitress/server was very nice and friendly. The lunch buffet includes soft drinks.

I ordered chiken kaurma and chiken biryani. Please do not waste your money at this place. There were no taste in any of my food. It was blend and without any spicies. It felt like I was eating chiken and just rice. Feel like most of the reviews are fake. But any how don't even think about it.

Finally got to try the buffet today. There was a ton of different vegetables, curries and chicken dishes. The next thing I want to try here is the mutton biryani. :)

Their food is delicious. Odd looking place but worth the money and well made.

I've visited this place twice and their food is absolutely delicious, I had the chicken Tikka masala, naan bread, rice, samosas and soup... One of the best Indian food I've had. The only item I didn't like was the tamarind sauce for the samosas, they put eggs in it and the taste of egg overwhelmed the tamarind. But other than that, I really recommend this place.

Delightful food in an old run down building. I loved every bite of everything on the buffet! I found a great stop for Indian food in Peoria. Very friendly staff/owners. Just help yourself to your fill. The smells are amazing. I could just sit here and tantalize my olfactory nerve endings (nose for those of you who did’t nose [know] that)!! I’ll be back for more!

Let’s be real: it looks questionable on the outside and it doesn’t get any less questionable-looking on the inside. However, you get a lot of food and it tastes pretty good.
Three stars? I usually get takeout here because, um, eating in doesn’t exactly seem appealing. But when I get home, my food is usually NOT very hot.
Their food is fine, especially if you want tasty vegetarian options in Peoria, but it’s definitely not going to win any awards for tastiness or general atmosphere anytime soon.
