as a big indian food lover i would say my chicken tikka masala was very delicious. great service and really cozy atmosphere. wonderful drinks and a large variety of foods and vegetarian options.
Wow. I’m from a pretty small town, and wanted to experience some food diversity! I love Indian food so am always eager to take a chance when I’m in a new town. This place was warm, loving, caring, and packed so apparently the town agrees that this is a fantastic restaurant. The buffet was clean, hot food was hot, cold food was cold, and everything was lovely. Decor as well. My tummy is super happy
Went to India Garden for lunch with a friend.
We were promptly seated and directed to the buffet. On my first plate I had Gobi Manchurian, Butter Chicken and Goat Curry along with some bahtoora (fried bread). The waitress brought us a basket of fresh naan.
The Manchurian was tasty but not the best I’ve had, 3/5 - butter chicken was a 4/5 and the goat curry was a 3/5. Bahtoora was a little dried out since it’s a buffet 3/5
When I went back up I tried a couple other dishes that I cannot remember the names of but one of them was delicious 5/5
The dessert bar had some little pastry dumplings that tasted like bread pudding and also had homemade ice cream, dessert bar was 5/5
One thing I noticed that came into play later - when they refilled the buffet they would just dump the new fresh dishes atop the old stuff. Probably not a huge deal since the place was packed and things cycled through but it stands to reason that old stuff stays out.
Flash forward a day and my stomach had some issues. I wouldn’t say food poisoning but lets say I didn’t have any problem using the bathroom. That’s usually not a problem for me with ethnic food as I eat lots of it.
If I were grading solely on the food/buffet without considering that last point I’d give it a soft 4/5 but considering the food safety issues, I’d give it a 3/5

This restaurant has a very well appointed dining room with ample seating. The lunch buffet is top-notch.
They bring baskets of fresh naan right to the table.

I came in to eat dinner after a long day. The service was impeccable and everyone down to the music playing helped turn my mood around. After getting a full belly of delicious food plus an entree that was suggested by my server, that I thoroughly enjoyed! Great experience, great flavors. I could have went hot instead of medium. Would definitely come back.
India Garden is just wonderful.
The atmosphere is vibrant, and noisy with friends and family groups enjoying the moments of being with each other. So much conversation and laughter. No phones out (except me snapping pics of my food). A wonderful community of people.
Our server was sweet and very attentive. She refilled our water glasses without being asked, cleared dishes as they were emptied, asked if we wanted other beverage refills, and made sure we were enjoying our lunch. They process credit cards right at the table instead of walking away with your card. Love that.
The food is just amazing. They have a lunch buffet, which my three friends all opted to try. One of the photos is of one plate with a mass variety of the items selected from the buffet. I don't eat a lot so buffets are not a financially wise choice. I ordered off the menu and chose to start with Garlic and Cheese Naan, and then had the Tandoori Chicken which is served with Basmati Rice. SO good! I had never had Tandoori before so I didn't know it was served on a sizzling platter with peppers and onions. As always, way too much to consume in one sitting so I have two more meals in my fridge.
I definitely recommend for authentic Indian food. You won't be disappointed.

A premium quality Indian cuisine at Tosa area. Plenty of dishes to choose from, food tastes good, clean and cozy environment as well as friendly stuff. We went to have dinner we enjoyed thoroughly.
Clean buffet with friendly service. It’s a straight to the point meal, they offer several Indian dishes with warm garlic naan bread that just seemed to disappear the minute it hits the table. The flavors are authentic, you can smell the curry from a block away. It’s worth a try, and I can be honest I’m not a fan of buffets but this one I wouldn’t mind going back too.
