A really good place for a good filling weekend indian buffet with over 30 items and a great indian dessert selection. I love their chicken dum biryani, which is quite authentic. For the price the variety and quality of the buffet is really nice. I always leave super full and satisfied. There is always a decent crowd but not too bad and the service is good too. I especially like thier methi matar malai curry and the lamb curry. Definitely one of the best indian restaurants in the Twin cities area.

Got takeout from here. The food was hot and ready when I got there. We got Chicken Tikka Masala and naan. The cheese naan was amazing. The Tikka Masala was good but we have had better tasting at other places (for our taste preference). Although we didn't eat inside the place looked very nice when we picked up the food.

Very happy we tried this place, very friendly staff, extremely efficient and helpful. Everything we tried was very fresh and cooked to order, the potato samosas are some of the best I have tried, not greasy and packed with flavor. The lamb was melt in your mouth tender, mango lassi was delicious. This is more of home cooked style Indian food, the kind my Mom would make. If you're in the area stop by, you will be happy with the food and service.

If anything, bring some friends/family and go for the bahubali thali! This is a truly site to behold and a great photo op for all you foodies out there. 6 of us went to try the infamous bahubali thali on a Sunday evening and we were not disappointed. We opted for the vegetarian version and it came with so many different options-mainly South Indian style dishes. Given the vast quantity of options you are bound to like some more than the others-some of my favorites were the paneer biryani, sambhar/daals, Szechuan rice, and idli/chutneys. Ambiance of the restaurant is super casual. The Restaurant said 6 people max for this although I definitely think they should increase the limit. We ended up with a lot of leftovers. They must also be called in advance to reserve the baahubali thali given the quantity of food involved and the fact that they only offer it on certain days of the week. Will definitely be back to have this experience again and to also try their dosas which I hear are great.

Had an amazing Indian food after a long time. Visited this place for Saturday buffet and we were not disappointment at all. They have huge variety of food and tasted so good. Tiffins in the buffet very absolutely delicious. Babai idly and uttapam are really great. Biryani is good too and have good texture. Desserts are good. They have really good ambiance too and they maintained it really good. Overall we had an amazing lunch at this restau

Our go to Indian place closed near our house. RIP Bawarchi. The family was craving some Dosas so we headed to this place based on the reviews it had on Yelp. Got there as soon as they opened at 5:30 and were seated right away. Once seated though, the service took a little while for them to bring our waters. Ended up and walking over to get our own menus so we could order (the QR code on the table didn't work). Unfortunately, service like this kind of the norm with Indian restaurants in town. The restaurant is clean and casual setting with some ethnic decor. Their menu is pretty extensive. We ordered a couple for appetizers and a coke and beer to start. We wanted the chili prawns but were informed that they didn't have that so we opted for chili fish and chicken lollipops. The chicken lollipops were very flavorful and tasty. Some of the better ones I have had in the cities. The fish was good but very very spicy. So no one besides me could eat it and even I couldn't do more than a few. Note for future. The beer was cold and they provided a cold mug for it which I thought was a nice touch. We ordered dosas for our entree and an order of Chola bhatura. One kid's cheese dosa. One kids geometry dosa. A masala dosa and a mysore masala dosa. The kids food came out first and was a hit with the kiddos. The rest of the food also came out pretty quick. The dosas had their "masala" (curried potatoes) in a separate bowl. I haven't seen that before unless you ask for it on the side. Not a deal breaker or anything, just an observation. The dosas were good. Though could have been a little crispy (we had asked for crispy). The flavors were good. The acompanying chutneys and the potatoes were flavorful. Over all good dosas and satisfied the craving we had. The chola bhatura was average. the bread was perfectly fluffy and hot while not being too oily. The chola were ok. Not bad but just average. I also got their special mutton biryani togo so I would have lunch the next day and it was tasty with tender meat and fluffy rice with good flavors. All in all this was a good experience and we would go back to have their lollipops and try some other items on the menu. This might be our new goto south indian restaurant.

Lovely South Asian restaurant near Eden Prairie Center. This place is an absolute gem for those wanting spice in their life. We went thrifting at The Prop Shop and needed some energy after looking thru all the diamonds in the rough. The restaurant is very close to other South Asian retailers, so you know the food has to be tasty with the competition. We went fairly close to opening 520pm or so and were seated promptly by the very cordial and polite staff. We ordered multiple items and the food came surprisingly quick. Chicken 65; not artificially colored. This chicken was tender and quite nice. The sauce wasn't overly spicy, but you could up the ante if desired. Dosa; crispy and the potatoes came on top which was nice since you could control the portion. It came with 4 chutneys; a warm dal? Coconut, tomato? And peanut. Good variety and a delight. Garlic naan, was not as crispy as I would like. Overall a good carb to accompany the meal. Lamb Vindaloo: very meaty stewed lamb dish. The tomato base was robust and the spice complemented the meat well. Stick to your bones dish for the cold winter. Would love to check out the lunch buffet.
