Indian with Chinese options? Yes please! Nice, clean, well stocked buffet that includes Indian as well as a few Chinese options. Great table decor and friendly staff. They’ve been in the neighborhood for awhile and now I know why. They also have menu options.

Rockerz Rule
Absolutely a place worth stopping by. The food is fantastic and well prepared. One of the best halal food restaurants serving Indian, Pakistani, Chinese, and Thai cuisines. We had their lunch buffet and it was pretty decent. There was a wide variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, like Potato Masala Fries, Veggie Chow Mein, Channa Masala, Naan, Palak Panner, Panner Butter Masala, Chicken Tikka Kebab, Fish Pakora/Fried Chicken Strips, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Biryani, Goat Curry, Mongolian Beef, Rice Kheer, and Fresh Salad. They also have hot tea which is included in the buffet. If you are lucky, sometimes you may even get to try Beef or Goat Qabuli Pulao. They have buffets during weekdays and weekends, but there is a cost difference. Their service is also excellent, and the waiters are highly welcoming. The decor is updated and clean, and the bathrooms are spotless. We love their variety of food and the spices. We will most definitely go again.

One of the best in the whole of the wall Pakistani Indian cuisines around. I happen to love this food so much the spice is so right. My wife is not necessarily A fan of the food but they have plenty of options for people who aren’t into Indian food as much such as beef chow mein. Options for everyone great staff and a great local spot

We came for the weekend lunch buffet. The restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly. All of the food was fresh, trays were sealed well, and buffet area was nicely maintained. The chai was self serve and very flavorful. Definitely want to come back again in the future and try more options.

They close at 9:30, I called at 9:20 expecting them to say sorry we’re closing in a few minutes, instead they said no problem, come on by as long as your here by 9:45 we’ll take care of you, Are you sure ? I asked ,Come by brother no problem he replied. So family and I pulled in at 9:40, staff was super friendly and welcoming, having worked in kitchen myself, I kinda felt bad because I knew the kitchen staff already had cleaned up for the day and they cooked just for us. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Biryani,chicken tandoori legs, goat karahi, and Naan, Everything was on point, the kids loved it too (not too spicy) we had left overs, but I figured if they stayed opened just for us at least make the ticket worth their while. We were very pleased with the experience. Which was reflected in the tip of course!

Great food and all nice and fresh. So glad to have found a good Indian food buffet. Employees (two gentlemen) were very nice too. They kept filling up the trays with fresh steamy food. Only thing that was cold was the fries and maybe they should walk you to the table and offer drink options. But otherwise great food and super clean and tidy interiors! My husband and I will be going back with family and friends.

I understand it may not be normal to have white people coming to your restaurant and being excited to try new foods… but please don’t stare. The food was delicious and I want to come back, but I am worried about what if my Pakistani friend can’t make it next time? Don’t spit in my food is all I’m saying… because it was too good.

Rona Amini
