India Diner

The sign outside says "$5.99 buffet lunch all day". You go inside, and there are no customers, even though this is the peak season - Dec 22. This should have been our first warning. They said they no longer offer buffets but haven't been able to remove the sign yet (false advertising). This should have been our second warning. Like fools we took that bait. Nothing on the menu was under $15. The food took 30 minutes to arrive, and was mediocre at best. The taste was bland. The curries tasted like they were boiled in water and then sprinkled with some spices to make it appear authentic to the ignorant tourist. Most of all we wasted a nice warm afternoon stuck in this lousy place. Please stay away from this place.

The worst food with very high price. We ordered Chicken biryani ($18) which came with small pot, which was worst I ever eat in my life. Naan costs $3 per one. I think they are not serious in doing business. People not sure about Indian food may gave four stars for this place. Advice to mgmt.: Change the complete appearance and improve cooking style. Remember cooking no need to be fancy but do cooking with fresh items.

I really don't know why this Restaurant has so many bad reviews. Perhaps the people visiting were from out of town or don't know what Indian food tastes like. I love Indian food and have been trying to hit all the buffet spots in Orlando just to try them all out. After recently moving, I was surprised to discover this Indian buffet not too far away from my house. My sister, her boyfriend & I tried it for lunch one day. The parking lot was empty but it was around 2pm on a Saturday...which is a little late for lunch. We were greeted by a young girl and sat right away. After giving our drink orders we made our way over to the buffet table. Everything looked AND smelled good.... After piling my plate with basmati rice (my favorite) I also added what I think was Chicken Tikki Masla or butter chicken overtop. The sauce was thick, creamy and steaming hot. My mouth was watering. I also tried some chickpeas in a brown sauce and egg curry....YUM! The food was very flavorful and the young girl even brought us some hot puffy nan bread. It was really good, better than some other places I've tried because it was soft and puffy, not thin and paper-like. A woman came from the back carrying a small tray of those fried things with potatoes in them - sorry I don't know the name of it. They are at most buffets and they are really good. Usually potatoes, peas and spices inside. They were huge! I had to share with my sister but we both agreed it was very good. After cleaning our plates the woman from before came over to our table and greeted us. She was very very kind and asked us if we knew any Indian people and how we got started eating the food. I explained to her that we have enjoyed Indian food for several years and we are always open to trying new things. I complimented her on her food (she was most likely the one cooking it in the back because I didn't see anyone else in there but her and the young girl who was at the front - which I assume might be her daughter??) Either way she thanked us for coming and I told her we'd be back. She even brought us more of her delicious Nan!! :) I think for the price of $7.99 it was def worth it. Most places in orlando charge over $10 for a lunch buffet alone. I think I paid around $10 for the whole thing which included my drink. Overall it was a good experience. The only thing I would say needs to be changed is their drinks. when you order a soda they bring it in a can and therefore I assume for a refill you'd have to be charged two times. I didn't really look at the price but if it was somewhere like $1.50 I think that's just too high to pay for a single can of Coke. But I can't say the food was bad because it wasn't. The service was great, both women were very kind and attentive. It makes me sad to see this place have bad reviews because I know that reviews are very important to getting business. And in this bad economy, bad reviews is just a deal-breaker.

the worst place to go. Dont know the lady who was working there, but she looked so arrogant and made my other family members seperate from us since they prefered to eat buffet and we chose to order. How ridiculous. Manners are zero and so does the professional attitude, i want to request all friends and other people out there not to eat at this particular restaurant. She even billed us for the pickle and papadam too. I rate this restaurant zero and make sure, to double-triple check the bill.
