Came here for lunch while visiting the San Clemente SB.Ambience is good.They had decent items on the menu for a buffet. We opted for it. Food is tasty and served fresh.Liked:Chats Pakoda, Samosa ChatEntree Dal,, Veg Jalfrezi, Paneer TikkaDessert Kheer was good.Not so liked: Roti(was little hard) Mango lassi didn’t felt like it was made with mangoes

Best chicken t I ate. Love the food and the service was amazing. People are so kind and friendly. The nan bread garlic with cheese it was a plus !!

We arrived at the beginning of dinner hour. The doors were open, but no one was in the dining room (although we had reservations). When I stepped to the kitchen door to enquirer, I was disgusted by what I saw. It was filthy. The sink area had black gunk everywhere and the floors looked as though they had never been cleaned. We immediately left. I cannot comment on the food as I would not dare eat it. I'm sorry to have to write this. Perhaps the restaurant owners can turn things around.

I ordered beef Tika mesala, and he ordered lamb Tika mesala..The mesala tasted like it was the same sauce as the lamb sauce my husband had. It was disgusting, and I didn't eat it.The roti was pretty ok, and when I looked down, the tsbel clothe had old food on it. I will never eat there again I'm sorry to say.
