Great value! Lunch buffet $10.99 and dinner buffet is $12.99 which includes plain naan, 3 cold items (salads), 6 non-meat items (butter chicken, spicy chicken, tandori chicken, curry shrimp, fish pakora, and goat), 6 vegetable selections, one soup, samosa, sauces, papadums and a few desserts.
I agree with Anlina that this place is a totally hidden gem. The restaurant itself isn't that large but a good family sized restaurant with about 16 tables (many seating 4 with some 2s and a larger group table). Service is pretty attentive with the water refills.
The buffet selection is not that large compared to East India or Ivory but it definitely offers enough for any Indian food fan to be satisfied. Some of the dishes aren't kept as hot (temperature wise), it felt lukewarm as it seemed like some dishes had been sitting there for a while. Other than that, for $12.99, I have no issues with this place! The best dishes are actually the vegetarian ones. The palak paneer was smooth, creamy and had a little kick to and great seasoning. The eggplant bhartha has great flavour and the most delicious potatoes. The vegetable korma was also rich and creamy. The butter chicken was okay - it's average, not that flavourful. The shrimp curry suffered a bit from sitting in the buffet pan as the last few shrimps I got were stringy. The spicy chicken was in a bright red sauce, though it didn't taste that spicy to me it had some good flavours going there. The vegetable samosa is baked, the pastry is a bit too thick for my liking but the filling is pretty good. The plain naan is included, a nice perk as many places charge extra. The naan tasted like it was baked as well and not made in a tandor oven so it tasted more like westernized flat bread.
This place is located in a stripmall, so look for the Dairy Queen that's across from Samosa Crown on Keewaitin. -

Long wait for Mediocre food...I requested keeping my food free from cross contamination with wheat/gluten...so I didn't get sick. However and sadly, we would NOT go back...The glasses and silverware were dirty(we wiped gunk off),no one came by to tell us food was going to take a while, one can of coke finally made it, slightly chilled. The food was ok, not as tasty as we are used to even though we asked for medium spice. For the price, we'd have enjoyed better food elsewhere. The server and the girl behind the counter did not know anything about the food. We just had a few simple questions but they'd stare at each other and mumble and giggle that they didn't know.

This is the best place in the city to get your samosas from. Freshly made, can order them over the phone while you are on the way, and you won't even have to wait, just go inside, pay and pick up your order.

This place is a hole in a wall. For 10.99 you get an array of delicious Indian food with great taste. If you can look pass the decor and just want good food, this is the place to go!

Excellent value and food quality keep bringing me back here! Good selection for being a smaller restaurant and the garlic naan is The best in the city that I have found.
