    We were told the new owners had just taken over the restaurant a month ago, but looks like they kept the name. I had never ventured into this restaurant previously though so I can't say how it's changed at all. The dining area is a very comfortable area to sit in, with high ceilings and chairs with high backs . Service was a mix. Our male server was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, whereas the female one was more reserved. Service was not exceptionally professional, more like when your friends are helping you serve at the restaurant. Garlic naan was pretty standard 4 stars. The standout dish for flavor was the goat curry (medium spicy). 5 stars on taste. I wish there was more of the sauce to go around since it's delicious. It's got a very rich deep complex and meaty flavor. (What I expected from the vindaloo but we will get to that in a bit) Tikka masala (shrimp, medium spice) hit the right spot. 5 stars. It would be these two dishes that I would go back for. Butter chicken (not spicy) gets a 4. It's a good take but the Tikka masala was just better. I didn't like the (we did lamb, not spicy) vindaloo because it wasn't what I thought it should be. If you told me it was another dish I might have been more accepting... But there are just other better things to order in my opinion. 3.75 is my rating. I will say their lamb was very good and tender So I do need to caveat that perhaps because of the spice levels that might have affected the flavor of the food. I do like things spicy but I ordered some things not spicy because of my friend. I might need to redo those dishes at medium and see how I feel. I also would have liked it if the rice came out hotter as it was lukewarm when we received it. The curries were hot so we didn't mention it. I do want to return for their lunch on the weekends since they have the buffet (not available for dinner). It seems like there might be a lot of options, but I didn't ask for the price. Parking is downtown parking so expect to pay at the meet. I think for the meters just outside the restaurant it was 1.25 an hour. Would recommend the food, but if you are looking to impress your date and service is important, you might want to wait on this one until they train their staff more.

    Pleasantly surprised!! From the ambiance to the food that packed a punch of flavor (Choose your spice level wisely!), this place was a rare find in Omaha! The staff is to be commended as well! Our host went out of his way to make sure we were satisfied and even offered a complementary palate cooling dessert…which was DEVINE!!! Definitely recommend!!!!

    My first time coming to this restaurant. They did not disappoint, they have authentic flavors and the food tasted great. I love the lamb Koma paired with their Garlic Naan. Oh the Naan is authentic classic naan full of satisfying garlic taste.

    Lunch buffet was delicious! Just what I'd hoped it would be, good mix of rice heavy dishes and sauce heavy dishes, had naan and mulligatawny soup as well as a selection of chutneys, fruit and a salad option. Went on a Saturday and they had a bit of trouble keeping everything stocked.

    We went there for lunch buffet on Sat. The food is really good. The lunch buffet price is $18. They had around 4 items in dessert and were serving milk tea.

    My wife and I love Flavors, we eat there every week. The staff is very friendly, and the food is amazing. Very flavorful, true to the name! Today we got take out, the Dal Tadka and Baingan Bharta, two of our favorites. Also, we always get the onion kulcha, so tasty! Today they gave us a free desert too 🥳 love them over there!

    Surprised to find such great Indian food in Omaha. Did not expect good food outside of the steaks. Haha. The ambiance was great and the staff were very kind. Garlic nann was excellent as well as the spring rolls. I had the chicken curry spice level 8. It was perfect. Thank you!

    We arrived here 30 minutes after they open. The buffet did not appear to be open which is understandable with Covid being a risk. There was only one waitress who was clearly busy so they need to have another but that was the only complaint we had. We ordered the vegetable samosa for an appetizer, butter chicken and an order of the butter naan and garlic naan. They only had the regular naan, butter naan and garlic naan available. It was my moms first time eating Indian food and she loved it! The price is decent and the establishment was clean. We will definitely return here!

    Excellent food with the right amount of flavor. Nothing was too spicy hot. Great ambience and hosts. Paneer Tikka on the Appetizer's menu is a must try.

    Food tastes great. Well decorated restaurants. Service is so so. Only one person doing everything upfront Togo, door dash, waiting table. They need to add more staff. Feeling bad for the lady. Tandoori chicken was outstanding

    We went here for lunch expecting to have the buffet from what we researched. I just love to sample a little bit of everything with Indian cuisine. We went in, and it appeared that the buffet was set up, but not running. I was immediately disappointed. We decided to stick it out and order anyhow, I’m glad we did. The food was so good. I tried the butter chicken and my son got the vindaloo chicken. I tried his and it was phenomenal and mine was as well. The garlic naan was a perfect accompaniment to the meal. Great food and the staff were awesome.

    Food was amazing 😭 best Asian food I had during my trip to Omaha!

    I have tried veggie dishes at this restaurant, and they were all good. I had vegetarian biryani and it tasted perfect. Also ordered the naan and other veggie curries and they are good too. My friend ordered non-veg dishes and they all liked it.

    Hands down the best Indian food I've had in years. Everything was fresh, tender, and flavorful. It was the perfect place to take my sister for her birthday!

    Very nice little restaurant, service was very good and food was good. The only small issue was the buffet and keeping it stocked with food. The popular items were constantly gone. It was lunchtime so they were busy. Overall, great experience and great food!

    Everything was perfect. Decent eating space and great service!! Nice friendly people. The buffet is the best Indian buffet I've ever been too. Better than all the ones in chicago. I will definitely be back 😋

    The food was really good! We got chicken pakora, lamb tikka masala, and butter chicken, and everything was tasty and flavorful. It's a little overpriced, but the portions are large (we definitely had leftovers). I think there was only one person working when we went in, so the service was a little slow and there was nobody around to seat us initially. The loud TV and continuously ringing bell on the door were a little distracting. I like the chairs though, they seemed new and were quite comfortable.

    Absolutely Amazing!!! ❤️ It’s taken up by new owners and I must say it’s one of the best Indian restaurant I’ve been to in a while. I was in Omaha for work and happens to come across this restaurant. Love how their food is traditionally authentic, flavorful and fresh. I tried their buffet for lunch , they have a wide range of options to suit the palate- It was scrumptious !!! Love the Lamb Biryani, the chicken vindaloo, butter chicken, vegetable pulav , reshmi kebab, Sambar and the fish fry. All the dishes were so delicious. They also made me a Russian salad on request, which I loved. I went back again before I could leave Omaha and got me some Chilli Chicken , Chicken 65, Subzi Miloni, Lamb do Pyaza , Gongura chicken, Chicken Biryani, Lamb Biryani (again) and shrimp tikka masala with some garlic naan and paneer kulcha!! I shared it with my friends and we had a ball with the food. The meat was tender and delicious, perfectly cooked and exquisite. Definitely coming back here!! 💯 It is surely a ‘must visit’ while in Omaha!!
