DON'T EAT HERE!

by SHALINI725 at Citysearch

The food served in the buffet is days old as was obvious from the old corn that was served to my daughter. It had a brown center and tasted spoiled! After we reported the problem, they covered it up with a towel. Service is horrible. They are cheap with the naan. They give you 1-2 pieces at a time and charge $10.99 for a vegetarian buffet. Too expensive for such food. All the food lacks salt and spices. The manager named Kathy who I tried to resolve the issue with was rude and has no ettiquette in talking to her customers. Save your money.

  • Pros: None
  • Cons: Everything about this place was terrible!

Buffet isn't stocked, terrible customer service

by swaps at Citysearch

We went for a buffet and overall had a terrible experience. The restaurant wouldn't refill empty items in a timely manner. When asked for refill of buffet, the lady curtly mentioned that I should have patience (can you believe that)!! The gravy all tasted similar and hence probably nobody was touching it. The few patrons who were in the restaurant were all awaiting the two or three items which tasted alright.

They charge about $11 per person - just not worth it. Especially when Devon has so many other options. Save yourself some frustration and money!

  • Cons: service, no food, taste

Great vegetarian cooking

by manchery at Citysearch

This is an ideal place to try out great Western and Southern Indian vegetarian cooking. Their buffet is very good (only on Sat and Sun) and their vegetarian thalis offer the best value. Everything is freshly made and the owner is present all the time to ensure that things go smoothly. This might be the only place on Devon to try Gujarathi food (Western India). The South Indian dishes like dosais are good, although the chutneys and sambhars can be improved. They offer items that are different from the standard fare (make that Punjabi) that passes off as Indian food!! Try their pakoras, cabbage and mini uttapams and of course their thalis!

  • Pros: Gujarathi food, Clean and neat, Good ambiance
  • Cons: No Parking

Purple walls, great food

by boris_blak at Citysearch

Great Indian food buffet at a good price. Although if you have a couple of mango lassies to deal with all the curry, the price goes up pretty quickly. Still less than $15 for a great Indian feast is still a deal. They will bring you piping hot sizzling Tandori chicken right to your table if you so desire. Also a great selection of vegetarian dishes and many desserts, if you can stand this very sweet faire.

Inside the walls are a garish purple. Not very appetizing, but certainly amusing. Parking might be tough in this crowded neighborhood.

  • Pros: Great Food, Low cost, Purple walls
  • Cons: Purple walls, tough parking
