india restaurant

nice spacious decor, flavorful buffet and more. indian food and buffets are places that i have savored all over the us. cooking indian recipes myself is a also part of my repetoire. returning to providence again from kansas, this restaurant is aplacethat i've seen many times back and forth on hope street. but why choose this indian restaurant? trying new restaurants is a how hobby of mine. this time the restaurant and buffet was my target. finding the right time to come in made it difficult. a gastronomic urge was needed so it was time to take the plunge. why? possibly to compare with other asian restaurants tried in providence and elsewhere. more importantly to taste the food and entrees for future reference, looking for culinary satori (aha) foods and recipes. comparing and contrasting same dishes is fun and a challenge. hitting the sunday brunch /buffet this endeavor was met.

five stars. had a great time at india - had a great time at india - my first visit. the food was superb (naan basket and paneer masala), and our waiter hasan was attentive. i will return! we ate early - 5:45pm on a saturday - and it got quite busy as we were leaving, so reservations are recommended!

the best !!!. i have been to many indian restaurants in my life on this planet, so when i judge i am very critical. coming from me thisplacedeserves a 5 star, for food, decor, service and entertainment. the bathrooms were the cleanest that i have ever seen for any restaurant in ri. the food was fresh and flavorful without too much oil or butter, the salad was crisp and the lighting was perfect. i think that this will be my new hang-out...

very glad i went....... i really like the brunch that they serve; i had no clue what anything was but i really liked it! everything was very flavorful and colorful. there were many things that i was leery to try because i could not tell what was in anything, but i tried everything and left a satisfied customer. i would recommend thisplacefor an adventurous eater or someone who likes to try new things. if you are one of those people who likes to have the same thing every time you go to a restaurant and are mildly up set when they change the menu then this is not theplacefor you.

not recommended. theplacelooks cool and against my better judgement tried it over another night at kabob n curry... it took about 20 minutes to get an appetizer which wasn't good. at that point i cut my losses and told the manager i was leaving. he was nice and didn't charge but i won't be going back, especially with 2 other nearby solid indian places

classy, tasty and unique. this is a greatplacefor a date night or just to have dinner with your family.
the decor and ambiance is beautiful, ethnic and classy.
the food is absolutely delicious, served fresh with a unique fusion in taste and dishes between the east and west.
my recommendations include the naan, lamb kabab and mussels.

india is the best!. great food, great decor... a greatplaceto take a date, or have a larger gathering with friends/family. henna and bellydancing really make friday and saturday nights special.
