Indian Buffet!!

The only Indian Buffet open in Oakland/Berkeley!! 8 rotating dishes. 2 vegan, 1 vegetarian, basmati rice, vegan pakoras and a couple dishes w/ animal flesh. vegetarian desserts including gulab, kheer/halwa & soft-serve cow pus.

Older gentleman server is vegan and assured me the vegan dishes are vegan! Always 2 or 3 including pakoras.
(See pictures for extra details, taken at end of buffet)

I filled up on the daal, saag, rice & salad. Very tasty potato pakoras!!

Caption from pic of my beautiful plate: WOWeee this is how u do it!!🎉🎉🎉 Huge layer of spinach, carefully spread rice atop, alternate watermelon w pieces of pakoras, cover in tamarind chutney😋😘 then top w curries. I did half and half first plate. 2nd plate was all channa as eggplant was a bit spicy n oily for me. Use a knife to slice thru spinach, watermelon and pakoras!! So fckn good!!

Total for me, water to drink, w tip was $20. They ask u to only have 2 plates, so u must organize ur plates well to fully load up. I left stuffed and grateful! More vegan options plz and more salad fixings like cucumber! Thank you

Came back 2 days later it was so f'n good! This time they had different (V) options. Probably different everything, but I honestly only look at my food🤓😂💯. Spicy eggplant and peas as well as channa masala

AWESOME PPL WATCHING if u sit by the window. Also a lovely palm tree is growing outside in the middle of the building.

Pros: Buffet is great for big eaters like myself, Lunch Buffet open everyday!!, Only buffet in town, I've called quite a few.

Cons: Wish there was an all vegan/vegetarian buffet., Naan is not vegan.

Cool Place

I always get chana masala at a new Indian place as my judgement method, this place's chana masala is a 7/10. Would come back to try other things later though!

LOVE the food!

I can't believe I've lived in Berkeley for 3 years now and have never been to this place! Hubby saw that they had a lunch buffet, which he said was unusual. When we were chatting with the owner, he confirmed that they have lunch buffet every day!

Let me tell you I was so happy to find this place! I loved the food! I'm vegetarian, so can't speak for the couple of meat dishes that were there. The paneer tikka masala was delicious - rich, thick, creamy, perfect taste. I also loved the baingan bharta (eggplant), which I usually am not a fan of at other places. Everything else was good too. They freely offer plenty of fresh, hot naan (you can choose either plain or garlic without any extra charge).

The owner was a very lovely person. And don't forget, this place serves ORGANIC food. Hoorah!! Will definitely become a regular here.

Pros: lunch buffet all you can eat, free naan, cute sunroom seating

Cons: chai good but needing more spice
