A friend recommended this restaurant and I was a bit hesitant because my experience with buffets is the food ends up being way overcooked and old from sitting too long. This was not the case at this restaurant. Everything on the food line was nice and fresh and delicious. I took about 1 tablespoon of each item so that I could taste everything. Everything was delicious and fresh tasting to pick what I wanted to go back and get more of. One of my favorites was the Tandoori Chicken and the Gajar Halwa. My least liked was the Vegetable Pakora. Service was great. The waiters cleared or dirty plates attentively without us feeling rushed and refilled our water several times. The place looks very clean. Reasonable price for such a delicious buffet. Will definitely return.

Is this the Sacramento area's best Indian food leftovers? Read on to find out! * * * * From what I can tell, there are a handful of locations in the area. We came to the Citrus Heights location on a rainy Saturday night, and while the event center next door was bumping, we were one of only four or five tables seated during our visit. A few standouts: Solid collaborative work with the servers, who could be described as matter-of-fact, but not rude or dismissive. We got the samosas, coconut chicken, saag paneer, and chicken tikka masala (or was is it the butter chicken? Here they use the same sauce for each but light meat in one and dark meat in the other), with butter naan and paneer naan, which is a pretty standard order for us. Everyone - including the kiddo, who usually doesn't care for curries - enjoyed it more and more as we dug in. Spice level is on the mild side: the medium was mild enough for the man-cub, and the mild was still flavorful. Samosas were fine but nothing special. Naan were soft but not fluffy. And the interior was noticeably worn out in a lot of places, which contrasted sharply against the decor. What immediately stands out is that prices are certainly higher than other Indian spots in the area, but the absolutely massive portions balance it out. We took home literally twice as much food as we normally do (and paid twice as much). And those leftovers were 100% the BEST leftover Indian food I've ever had. I can't explain it, other than the flavors must marry nicely in the fridge over night, but wow were they on point. Maybe next time we'll come back for takeout on a Friday afternoon and warm it up the next day.
