    We ordered below list of things 1. Tandoori roti 2. Garlic Naan 3. Yellow dal 4. Shahi paneer 5. Gulab Jamin 6. Butter chicken The owner or the hotel manager was really nice and greeted us really well. The food tasted pleasingly well. The gravy of Shahi paneer and butter chicken were almost same and could have been a little more indian taste like but overall the service was really good. We also had ordered indian tea but it did not arrive until the end of dinner so the cashier crossed it off from our check.. Overall good taste and great ambience

    Great food, great ambience and great service. We ordered tandoori and naan, both were delicious and fresh. Everything is made in the house which is awesome. The mango lassi was pretty good and they were able to make it vegan for us! The eggplant dish was pretty tasty and well seasoned and the vegetable samosas had a great presentation and tasted pretty good. Overall an amazing experience with super nice and friendly servers. Nice lunch special, no more buffet though. :):

    Vegan mango lassi was warm And for 15 dollars the serve is small you'd at least think you'd get roti with it for that price. Very greasy. The samosas were the only thing that were pleasant.

    Great service, nice decor. A good amount of sun going in. Not a whole lot of variety for a brunch buffet but the quality is good for a specialty buffet. Great service

    I called the restaurant at 9:10pm requesting for a table reservation… and they informed me about 9:45pm they take last order and I can walk in before that. I reached there exactly at 9:30 and they turn me off saying they closed. The owner/ manager was so rude and arrogant. He was busy surfing his phone. Told him that we drove 40’mins to reach there and requested him to accommodate us , he didn’t even look at us and asked us to leave and no apologies. Extremely Dingy ambience … Then one of my friends who had visited the restaurant, told me about how average and mediocre the food here is. So guess everything Happened for good. Never going back.

    Weekend lunch buffet was very good. 5 vegetarian options (4 of them vegan). The Aloo Vindaloo, Chana Masala. Dal Tarka, and Saag were especially good.

    Wow! Every single dish I had was so tasty. I had the opportunity to taste the chicken Tikka masala, palak paneer, haleem, samosas and naan. They were all delicious, the service was friendly, the family running this place is doing an amazing job. Definitely coming back and bringing family and friends.

    Great food and it seems like a nice family run business. But... lately it seems they have been skimping on the chutney and raita. Maybe due to the inflation we are experiencing today in 2022. Unfortunately, the raita seems watered down. I've had to ask for more chutney because they only give you one small container with tamarind and one for the green, even after spending over $120 on different dishes. That is all. If you go, you'll enjoy it. But for me, I need ma chutney and raita.

    The food was decent to earn a star. However the service puts this place down. I waited 20 minutes just to have someone walk up to me and ask what I wanted to order. The food took another 35+ minutes The servers had ignored my table multiple times trying to flag them down. The butter chicken was good can't lie but the lamb shawarma was dry even coming out of the hot plate the lamb was luke warm pretty weird for food I waiting for 35+ minutes.

    Delicious..my first time at Mahan's...friendly staff. YUM!

    I feel bad since the service was excellent but I have to call out the overpowering use of fennel/cumin in the plain rice and plain naan. Maybe it’s a chef choice and they seem popular enough with the locals but is it too much to ask to have plain rice/naan? The tikka masala was subpar since the meat was super tough and tasted like days-old tandoori chicken. I liked the curry flavor but the texture ruined it for me, which explains the 1 star review. To end on a positive note, if I was desperately craving Indian food, a to-go order wouldn’t be so bad with homemade rice.

    The food was very delicious. I was really hoping to impress my fiance since he is really picky with foods he has never tried. Overall we loved the food. We were quite pleased. Definitely coming back 🔥🔥

    Food is good! The only issue and reason why I am giving them 4 ⭐ is because I ordered fried okra and it was really salty, too salty to even eat. I mentioned it to the guy that was serving us but he said, "that's how it comes". I am guessing it comes pre-made it something I don't know. He didn't offer to re make it.

    Very good Indian food! I love the Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan!!

  • 5/5 E.D. A. 5 months ago on Google
    Naan bread is always fresh made! Tika masala rocks! The paneer is tasty. Ask for the Lunch Box to go only special! They serve water in metal cups which keeps cold.

    Just okay. More of a 3.5 star. Lunch is buffet, but you can get a la carte as well. Ordered half chicken tandoori, lamb vindaloo, and garlic naan. Tandoori took a while (25min?) but expected. Though I noticed the buffet had chicken tandoori as well. It was pretty dry and a bit bland? Lamb vindaloo portion wise was okay. Medium spicy has a bit of a kick. Flavour was strong. Garlic naan was okay as well. Garlic flavour not really strong. Can tell it sat around a little bit to come together with the tandoori. Girlfriend ended up buying some more chicken tandoori at another restaurant right afterwards so take that how you will.
