We had lunch delivered from TP today. A group of 10 of us were treated to some excellent entrees. Those of us who were fortunate enough to grab the butter chicken were not disappointed. It was delicious and provided a bit of spicy kick. A co-worker had the chicken biryani and reported that the chicken was tender and spiced to perfection. My vegan coworker was really pleased with her meal. Described it as "delicious, flavorful, great veggies, perfect spice". It was served with basmati rice and gobi aloo. For our vegetarians there was Paneer Tikka Masala and I hear it was "yummy with good amount of spice" and that the paneer was firm and delicate with an understated flavor which allowed it to absorb the spicy, succulent sauce. All of our meals came with some flavorful naan and a rich yogurt sauce to help cut the heat. I strongly recommend this place for catering a work lunch. While we cannot yet go back to buffet style, they do a fine job with individual lunch boxes.

Yummy! My company catered from here for lunch and I loved the chicken tikka masala! Portion was huge, although the naan was a little too oily. Would definitely love to eat from here again.

I had jury duty and a Groupon in Hayward. This place is right down the street from the courthouse and has a buffet for lunch, so it's.very fast.and convenient. The buffet started with salad, skipped that, followed by several pulses. They lentils were good, as was the saag and cauliflower. There were quite a few vegetarian dishes and 2 kinds of rice. The butter chicken was the bomb, tho the sauce tasted like chicken tikka masala. Then I tasted the meat curries. There was a chicken curry with a red sauce and a lamb curry with the same sauce. I didn't like the lamb...too fatty. The goat curry sauce had a unique flavor, but I didn't like the meat itself. They also brought 3 small pieces of fresh naan. The buffet cost $12.05. It seemed a little pricey, but it was good. If I get jury duty next year in Hayward, I'll go back, but I probably won't make the trip just for that. It is very close to the 880, so if you're stuck in traffic, give it a try.

Very yummy! Goat and lamb curry! The chickens! The rice! And then the donuts and mango pudding! Wonderful lunch choice and it was my grandma and uncles first time having Indian food! We got here at 1145am and the food was ready for the buffet! Quiet enough to enough lunch and Raj was a dear, sharing with my grandma and me how the food is spiced, what some of them are and how the food is done in India! Wonderful experience ;)

Stopped in late Saturday evening with a groupon. The place was empty except for one other table that was wrapping it up. Since there was no one in the joint we had the servers full attention during our meal. He was very attentive and answered all our questions. We had a very nice dining experience and a delicious meal. We ordered the Chefs Special tandoori a combo of chicken, seafood and lamb. The dish was very tasty and the side of green sauce (tasted like cilantro) drizzled on top enhanced the spicy flavors. We also had lentils marinated with ginger and garlic they were very good and very filling. One order of garlic naan was just the right size for two and for scooping up the tasty tidbits from my plate Finished up with the mango pudding nothing special pudding with canned fruit cocktail. Based on the yelp reviews it appears the majority of their business is during lunch Monday thru Friday as they are located near the court house and the po po station. I will definitely have to check it out the buffet but for a nice quiet meal check this place out for dinner.

My co-workers and I are nervous that this place opened right across the street from our building because once we tried the food we knew we would be back more often! We had the lunch buffet and they had a good variety of dishes including naan and masala chai tea which was a very nice treat for me consider it was a bit of a cold and slightly rainy day. It hit the spot. From what I could remember they had the following buffet items (see the menu for a details of the dishes): - Dal - Mutter Paneer - Malai Kofta - Chicken Tikka Masala - Vegetable Biryani - Channa Masala - Goat Chetinad - Tandoori Chicken - Mixed Vegetable Pakora - Fish Amritsari - Gulab Jamun - Mango Pudding - salad - fruit (cantalope) - other various sauces They bring out the naan fresh and warm. It was soft and fluffy! The chicken tandoori was actually pretty savory and not dry at all. My favorite dishes were the Channa Masala, Chicken Tikka Masala and the Fish Amritsari. The fish was fresh and it was nicely breaded (not oily or soggy!). My co-workers enjoyed it as well. I cannot speak on spice-levels because I like my food only mild to slightly-spicy. For what I had I believe most of the food was more on the mild side. I only rated this place 4 star because this was our first time and we had not ordered from items on the menu. Atmosphere: The restaurant was neat, clean and the service was good! The workers there are very nice and attentive. I'm excited that this place is a very short walk away from me but at the same time I'm going to have to watch my wallet and my appetite! =) I forgot to take pictures but I will definitely take some the next time I go!
