The India - Artesia

When I went to this place and saw that most of the diners were Indian, I was immediately relieved. We sown with a group of 12 on a very small table and I felt like we crushed sardines in a can. But then we were back for dinner. The buffet arrangement was set up on the back and I was so excited so you can see the series of my favorite dishes on the display. For the price it was wonderful, the chicken tandoori was moist and really well seasoned, the vegetables curry and vegetables Samosa were also really good. All other accompaniments were not bad either. A note, though, I had better Indian food somewhere else that are not buffet style, but for less than $10 dollars, that is a real bargain.

I can’t choose a favorite dish from the buffet because everything is just delicious. I usually pile on the Tandoori chicken, which is flavorful and juicy. The chicken is exquisite, and the goat dish is well-balanced, not too gamey. The spinach (palak) and lentils are also wonderful. Be sure to try the chili sauce, pickled vegetables, and chutneys to really enhance the flavors of your meal. I love adding some fresh jalapeño strips for an extra crunch (that's the Korean side of me!). Balance the heat with some cool, refreshing yogurt mixed with finely chopped carrots and cucumber. The desserts included in the $9.95 buffet are fantastic, featuring cheese balls in sweet syrup and carrot halwa. Overall, this is a great experience!

The service is exceptional. The staff is incredibly attentive and maintains a high standard of cleanliness. Your table will always have glasses filled with ice-cold water, used plates will be cleared promptly, and there will be plenty of Na’an bread available. Pro tip: ask for half regular and half garlic Na’an—there’s no extra charge! I can’t pick a favorite dish from the buffet, as everything is simply perfect. I usually pile my plate high with the flavorful and moist Tandoori chicken. The butter chicken is heavenly, and their goat dish is pleasantly mild in flavor. The spinach (palak) and lentils are also lovely. Don’t forget to try the chili sauce, pickled vegetables, and chutneys to enhance your meal. I personally like to add some fresh jalapeno strips for an extra crunch—just my Korean side coming out! To balance the heat, their cool yogurt with finely sliced carrots and cucumbers is refreshing. The desserts, included in the $9.95 buffet price, are outstanding. I especially enjoy the cheeseballs in sweet syrup and the carrot pudding. Simply magnificent!

As soon as I walked into the restaurant and noticed that the majority of diners were Indian, I felt a wave of relief. We were part of a group of 12, seated at a rather cramped table, and it felt like we were sardines packed in a can. However, we had come for the food. The buffet set up at the back was incredibly exciting, showcasing a delightful array of my favorite dishes. Given the price, it was exceptional. The chicken tandoori was tender and well-seasoned, while the vegetable curry and samosas were equally impressive. All the accompanying dishes were decent as well. It’s worth mentioning that I’ve had better Indian food elsewhere that wasn’t buffet-style, but at under $10, this is truly a fantastic deal.
