Some really good Indian food. The location is attached to the Travelodge off of Columbia Avenue. I really enjoyed the Lamb Rogan Josh, which is slow-cooked lamb cooked with onion, tomato and yogurt gravy and accompanied with basmati rice. I got it pretty spicy, but the spice was loaded with flavor. Also, the garlic naan bread is some of the best I ever had. Fresh, mashed garlic is in the bread and it’s topped with cilantro. The edges and bottom have a nice crunch to it, but the body is nice and soft. Top notch !

Just went here for the first time in a while and everything was great! The food was very good quality and delicious. Service was friendly and atmosphere was pleasant. Note, I don't think they have a buffet anymore. But regardless, it's still delicious. I got a vegetable curry and it was very good and a little bit spicy but flavorful! I asked for medium spice - I am pretty decent with heat, but it was a little more than expected. So be careful with the spice level! But it was really delicious even with the spice!

Excellent coconut chicken, yogurt, garlic nan. Waitress packed my to go bag well with spoons & forks. The food a delight. The restaurant was family friendly with a couple large Indian families with kids adding life to the colorful decor.

Amazing food and great service. I would highly recommend this place. Lots of menu options specifically momos/ dumplings were great. I will revisit this place if I am around the city.

Found this gem after a long search and it definitely satisfied my taste buds. Their menu has wide range of food. The food was delicious, spice level was on point and very flavourful. Would recommend everyone to try the Pokora which is now going to be my goto dish everytime I visit there. Staff was very friendly and sweet. They definitely made it on the list when I crave for Indian food.

I ordered take out and got into the restaurant a little early. I was greeted by a beautiful waitress who served me at the bar while I waited for my food. Before I was finished my drink the food was ready! So quick! The price was really good and the food is absolutely delicious. Just moved here from Colorado and to find a gem like this already has me super excited for the food in Lancaster. This is definitely my go to spot for Indian food from now on!
