About

Casual dining spot known for its lunch buffet featuring Indian curries and seasoned basmati rice with fennel—the only one of its kind in South San Jose. The Chana masala and Gobi Manchurian are popular vegan choices, with garlic naan available veganized by request. Wheelchair accessible and informal, it’s well-loved by long-time customers who praise its flavor and attentive staff but some have concerns about cleanliness and portion consistency for takeout.
