Rakesh Ramesh: Initially I was blown away with the reviews and went to this place but unfortunately it was complete disappointment. We went there for lunch buffet $15+taxes. This review is based only on the buffet hoping Ala Carte menu might be better. I would prefer other restaurant in this over this one.1. This place not for somebody who knows Indian and Srilankan food especially people from south part of India will definitely not like this food. I can understand chilli levels will be reduced to accommodate everyone but taste and flavors should be there bare minimum.2. Items were very less to the price but sufficient quantity was there it’s refilled properly. Place was small but it was organized well in the available space.3. Only one meat is provided that is chicken atleast it could have been fresh, chicken in the gravy tasted stale however that gravy taste was nice which is close to the cuisine mentioned in restaurant name.4. Biriyani was like tomato rice in fact tomato rice will taste better this is no where close to any biriyani type or tomato rice type I have never eaten any biryani in Sri Lanka or India like this.5. Saled was fresh and good fortunately that’s what helped to fill myself. Only dessert available was fruit custard but the strawberry or whatever essence was dominating the taste.6. Yellow rice, and veg gravy was not bad but definitely not the tasty ones for sure. Coconut rice was betterLastly the restroom could have had better lighting light was dim as candle light.

Elliot Nolte: The curry is an alarmingly delicious detonation of flavor. There is so much going on in it that I cant identify any individual flavor, my taste buds just transmit "AWESOME" to my limbic system. I have bought take-out from them for two years now, consistently delicious. Amazing food 10/5 stars

Brian Martin: As a lover of Indian food I was excited to try this local spot after seeing the reviews. I was craving my usual lamb seekh kabab dish that I get everywhere and I have to say it was so dry and flavorless I literally could not eat it. Like a charcoal briquette. Maybe the rest of the menu is amazing, but this was the first unedible dish I’ve had anywhere.

Sheeba: OMG, you have got to try this restaurant! It's a hidden gem that we stumbled upon during our trip to Holland. We were a group of 7 ladies from Chicago who were craving some authentic Indian food and this Sri Lankan plus Indian restaurant totally hit the spot. Even though it didn't look fancy from the outside, there were so many people inside that we just had to give it a shot.The staff was super nice and got us seated in no time. We ordered a bunch of stuff - chicken biryani, chicken kotthu, fish curry with yellow rice, masala dosa, and tea. Let me tell you, we were all big time foodies and food critics , and this clearly checked all boxes ! One of the best we have tried here in the US for a long time.The food was so good that we wanted to go back the next day and try their buffet as well, but we just didn't have the time. We were so impressed that I even called the owner, Mithu, personally to thank him for the amazing food and asked him to consider opening a restaurant in Chicago.We don't have a single Sri Lankan restaurant here and we're really missing out. I suggested that he should even consider setting up a pop-up restaurant or food truck so that we could try his food again without having to travel all the way to Grand Rapids /Holland in MI. Fingers crossed that he takes our suggestion seriously and brings his delicious food to Chicago soon!Seriously people - this restaurant is a MUST try if you live in the area or are just visiting - you will NOT be disappointed and of course , no doubt - those 5 star reviews on google and yelp are all genuine ones just like mine!! Give this place a try ASAP if you are an Indian food lover.

Colleen Egleston: This place is amazing! This was our second time dining there and the food is probably the best Indian I’ve ever had, and I’ve had Indian in NYC, Chicago, California and all over Michigan. The Butter Chicken has the most amazing flavor, very deep and complex, the Veggie Samosas were perfect, the Chicken Tikka Marsala was fantastic. Don’t let the sketchy strip mall fool you, in fact the location is probably the only reason there isn’t an hour wait, the food in this little restaurant is giant on flavor. Also one of the cleanest Indian restaurants I’ve eaten in, and it’s the only time we’ve ever been asked if we had any food allergies or dietary restrictions. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Alex Navarro: Best Indian food I’ve had in Grand Rapids.I’m not an expert but these flavors make my stomach happy. The spicy is spicy.The naan bread is alway crispy.The staff is also super friendly and welcoming. Even when they are slammed, they keep their cool and help everyone out.Vegetarian options: Tons of veggie and vegan options that are t the typical, mmm tastes just like chicken that you don’t want to eat anymore. But actual, legit, delicious dishes

Drew Ayers: The food is very good. It always comes out hot and tasy. BUT expect long wait times. The staff is good and attentive but I believe they are very understaffed so it takes a while if you dine in.Edit: Upped it to 5 stars because of the Saturday lunch buffet.

Anthony Cardinal: Amazing food, service, and atmosphere!!! Going back 100%!!!

Latino Stilo: Decided to try this place because of the many reviews and I like Indian cuisine. The food is amazing, will return.Food: 5/5 …More

C. Albert Thompson: The food here was very good. I felt like I was back ordering food in India. I ordered the lamb tiki masala it comes with a bowl of rice. You should order naan to go along with your food.I also ordered the mango lassi which was very tasty.

Charles Lerg: Knockout food. Have been several times, everything we’ve ordered has been amazing. It’s a must go.

Paige Mama: The food here is DELICIOUS! According to reviews we do not order anything with bones in it, but everything we have ordered has been amazing. We get common dishes like butter chicken and naan, nothing that we are not familiar with. For a family of five, three meals are more than enough to take home.

Hills (Hillary S.): What a beautiful little restaurant with amazing food and service. From start to finish our meal was amazing---highly recommend!Vegetarian options: A lot of great vegetarian options that are flavorful.Dietary restrictions: Very good about labeling things and also ask if you have any food allergies

Rajavel Alagaraj: We have tried lunch buffet here and the food was delicious ☺️

Mindy Bailie: Absolutely delicious food!! Portion sizes are large and the owners are very nice. It's my favorite place in GR!Dietary restrictions: They always ask if there are any dietary restrictions when you order - very considerate.

Anthony Rodriguez: Everytime I come in I am greeted respectfully. The food is awesome and authentic. Great place to eat Indian food.Vegetarian options: Good amount of vegetarian options.

rosie Tangorra: We had a wonderful feast here yesterday! I am new to Sri Lankan cooking, my family is not so they ordered and it was fabulous. Food so freshly made and so delicious. Thank you.Vegetarian options: There are plenty!Kid-friendliness: Very nice to the 2 with us. They loved the food too.Parking: Right in frontWheelchair accessibility: I have a Walker and it was fine, no steps

Thaisa Rantanen: So let me start by saying that the Momo is everything a dumpling should be... you will dream about them after you have them... today I got something different because they didn't have any more Momo and it was really good as well. I tried the Chicken Thali Set, just on a whim, and it was bursting with flavor. It had quite a few different kinds of vegetables that had been cooked perfectly, which is not easy to do. I feel like this dish makes it easy to have your vegetables and enjoy them. I was on a budget so I ordered this with two orders of the potato naan to share with someone and I added a mango lassi. It only came to about $26 and change, which I think is totally fair for how good this food is and the variety that the dish entailed. I'm really impressed with how large their menu is and I cannot wait to try some other delicious dishes. My compliments to whoever is doing the cooking it's really outstanding!

Beenu Tamang: I order fried rice and they put Too much butter on it is very disgusting can’t even eat and also they put too much sauce in chowmein even sauce was stink cherpate was very planeVery disappointed ☹️ I will never go again

Pratap Jung Basnet: I am sorry to say but the food was not good at all. We ordered chicken choila but it was not a chicken choila rather seemed liked oil fried boneless chicken. We also ordered Goat sekuwa but it tasted so so bad. I am not someone who writes review but after this review please improve quality of food.

Emily Post: Absolutely delicious! Wonderful vegetarian and vegan options. I will be dreaming of the chili momos 😍Vegetarian options: Very clearly marked

Adrianna Lypeckyj: Cozy setting, tasty authentic food, kind and helpful service.Vegetarian options: Good choice of vegetarian dishes, appetizers , entree's.Parking: Strip mall parking.

Pola Vishal: Right now I want to written down a review on this restaurant food , today morning I visited over there the environment was very peaceful and pretty food and greeting was nice and I order the food of goat fired rice omgg it was extraordinary delicious and good I highly recommend this restaurant to have a great lunch time

Ismail Chowdhury: Great place to eat, nice and clean. especially people are friendly there.The food are delicious👍….I highly recommend this place!!!!

Alex Duran-stawiski: After picking someone up from the airport who had not eaten, we searched for a spot to eat. Surprisingly, this place said it was open until 1:30. After arriving, we opened the door and where met with the back of a bookshelf with some cardboard boxes to the left. After peaking around the corner, we saw about 20 men drinking and smoking. They looked at us weird and for good reason bc I think we stumbled across a private party. There where two guys in the corner singing there absolute hearts out in karaoke and it was beautiful and really funny. Although that awkward interaction was priceless, the food on the website looks really good so part of me wishes it was open.

Josephine Heard: Ordered the Chicken Thali Set and it was absolutely amazing!! Very friendly staff. Will be back

Theo Ofori: They have the best chicken tandoori in town and their servers are super welcoming!

Robby Ryke: I recently had take-out at Karki and tried their Tikka Masala and Chili Chicken Momo, and I must say, it was an incredibly delicious experience. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the spices were just right - not too overpowering, yet not too mild either.The Tikka Masala had a creamy texture and the chicken was cooked to perfection, and the Chili Chicken Momo is my new favorite. Karki has certainly mastered the art of Indian cuisine, and I highly recommend giving them a try.However, The only thing keeping Karki from 5 stars was the portion size for the cost. While I understand that quality comes at a price, I felt that the serving size for the Tikka Masala was a bit small for the price. Nonetheless, the taste and quality of the food make up for this slight inconvenience.Overall, I would highly recommend Karki to anyone looking for authentic Indian cuisine. The Tikka Masala and Chili Chicken Momo are a must-try, and I am sure that you will not be disappointed.

Saurabh: Recommend veg chilly momos and chicken momos..staff was stupid once, replaced my doordash ordered non-veg platter with chilly chicken without permission. I didn't accept chilly chicken as I neither ordered nor wanted that. They told me they are taking off the charge and that should reflect in a couple of days but the charge continued to be there on my CC for a week. I Had to contact Doordash multiple times to get my money back.Vegetarian options: Veg momos and more

Andrew Carpenter: The food is great and has been delicuous, but today I don't have any food.I left after standing in the lobby and ringing their bell to get help after ordering ahead on the phone. I waited 5 minutes and I did hear people in the back. I even waited and looked back for a few seconds to see if anyone would come out as the door bell rang as I left. Nobody. The food is great, but I've never been completely ignored like this at any restaurant, ever.

sree V: Customer service is terrible . We waited for sometime even though guy at the counter watched us he just ignored us by taking pickup orders . We came to the restaurant today at 5:15 pm.

M Walls: Fast but food was lack luster. Maybe it was a bad day. I'll try it again but it wasn't the best India food in quality.Two years ago I reviewed this place at their old location. Now located in the Radisson, I was still disappointed by this restaurant. The service was little to none existing. I noticed others having to go and ask for service and basic things like cutlery, water, etc. People had dirty plates piled on the tables. Dishes in the "buffet" were 4 curries, plain rice, onion Pokora, and some fruit and veggies with sauces. When asking for more naan, which we thought was included in the buffet and was confirmed by the owner who spent most of his time on his phone, we were told we would be charged extra. Will never come here ever again.Mithu 4309 Kalamazoo Ave SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49508, has better service, variety, the owners constantly check on you and are so friendly and what they say are included in the buffet are included in the price. They usually have 14 different items, along with a couple of drinks, and dessert in the buffet.It's further from here which is the sad thing, but willing to make the drive because they don't deserve my hard earn cash. They clearly showed they didn't want or need it, so if you were there on 10/22/2022 after 1pm, make your review to back this up! Thanks!

Debra NAPIERALSKI: The food was very good, so many excellent choices and you can choose your heat on a scale of 0 to 5, I went with 2.5 and my dinner guest went with 0. I loved the view of the Grand River while dining, and the restaurant was so quiet it was very relaxing. I had the Mango Lamb and Naan, and would order it again. I noticed that there were a lot of take out orders, but at 6:00 P M. I was a little worried that we were the only 2 dining, another party of several people came in as we were leaving, I hope this restaurant thrives because good Indian food, especially on my side of town is hard to find. Hopefully I will be back soon.

Ammad Khan: I gave them three stars for food and location only. I have to take one star because they had such poor service that it is better to go somewhere else. And another star because they don’t have halal meat.We went there on Saturday around 6pm with the family and ordered our food by 6:30pm. We got the appetizer in 40 mins and then there was another delay of 40 mins between appetizers and main course. By which time our children have had enough and we had had to hurry.

Abbey Carter: Food is good if you actually get it. Been here for an hour and a half and placed the order two hours ago. No updates just excuses and no refunds. Seriously?? So expensive. If I knew it would take this long for chicken and rice I wouldn't have come.

Stephen Morris: We ate here a couple of weeks ago. The food was excellent. The physical plant was nice. You can get a table next to the Grand River. Unfortunately the wait staff was kind of clueless, certainly not on a par with the food. The food itself would rate 5 stars the wait staff at most 3 stars. With several other Indian restaurants in the area that are outstanding in all respects a return trip might be hard to swing.

Liz Wheeler: Came to check out the new spot after missing you guys for a bit. Food was good and the staff were all kind and attentive. They seem to all keep an eye on guests needs so thats awesome teamwork :) see ya back soon!

Benjamin Zeeuw: I really wish I didn't have to give such a negative review to a local business that is clearly struggling (the place is always empty and they've changed locations several times recently). Their food has always been outstanding, but I had such a negative experience recently that I felt it necessary to share.I ordered carry-out lunch for my staff of 11 people. This was a $300 order with gratuity. After we picked it up and returned to our office we found several items missing. I called and restaurant and after some push back they agreed that they made a mistake some items had been missed. I made a second trip to pick up the missed items and the hostess informed me that they would only be providing me with some of what we were shorted because, "The chef said he made that". I insisted that we were shorted a meal and one of my staff members didn't get a lunch. She just shrugged her shoulders. When I made it clear that I would be leaving the restaurant very unhappy and likely to provide a negative review she said, "not my business".As a customer service representative I would consider this 100% her business. If you mess up my order and make me drive back to your restaurant to get the food you shorted me I would prefer you not call me a liar in the process. I'm not looking to scam anyone. I just want what I paid for. Or, at the very least some consideration for my trouble. It wasn't just the hostess either. The chef made a conscious decision to not replace the dish and instructed her to tell me I didn't deserve it.Even the best Roganjosh is not worth dealing this such terrible customer service. I will not be returning to Curry Kitchen.

Katie Hughes: Don’t waste your time on Tuesdays. We made plans to go try this place, checked the website to confirm open time & then get there to a written note that they are closed on Tuesdays. I get lack of staffing- but update your website & other sites that advertise your business. You wasted our time & two other car loads of individuals we met in the parking lot.

LISA SCHROETER: The tikka masala was wonderful, mild spice was perfect for me. The naan was great too. This place is a hidden gem.

mobley Mobley: Great buffet! Was very happy with the food, nice restaurant with a pleasant view. Will be back.

Daniel Slick: There’s nothing either exceptional or terrible about this place; it’s just decent. The food is quite spicy and the naan bread is delicious.

Kristin Crawley: Update; I had to drop a star. While the food continues to be very good on the buffet, the afternoon staff is just consistently subpar. They sit at a table on their phones and generally pay no attention to the customers. It's quite a shame because it's probably preventing us from coming back.Great buffet for lunch. High quality Indian Food. Would love to see it busier so it stays around! If you like Indian food, it wasn't too try it for the first time a buffet is a great option. Highly recommended.

Kristina Colby: Excellent lunch buffet!! $14/person. And you can order additional items off the full menu if you want. Very vegetarian friendly. YUM.

Daniel S.: i wish i could give a higher rating. The food here is so fantastic, except for the last time I was in. We both ordered the veggie plate, which is all of the vegetarian appetizers. First we noticed that for some reason we were given chicken nuggets in our meal with pakoras. Pakoras were delicious as always, but I didn’t know why a vegetarian menu item would be served with meat especially very hidden in with everything, and why chicken nuggets in an indian restaurant. Thought oh well, i’ll take it off the plate and not eat it, since i don’t eat meat. But then, both of our plates had one of the two samosas with meat in it. Again these were vegetarian samosas on the vegetarian appetizer menu.Just saying for other people avoiding meat-eating, be cautious here.The lychee juice was so good

Vishnu Gokul Krishnamoorthy: We visited this restaurant today(06/20/22) from a long trip. We were hungry so we ordered 10 mins before we arrived as the restaurant's kitchen was about to close. Paula was the receptionist/attender who took our order on the phone. She was so polite and patient in getting our order.After we sat at the table, she instantly bought all the ordered food to the table. There was one Chicken Biriyani yet to arrive. She told she was working on it. Later we heard the bell sound from the kitchen when she was attending another customer. It was from chef Mr. Sunny. She went to the kitchen after addressing the customer. In the kitchen, Sunny started yelling at her as she didn't come there to take the food. She was explaining that she was the only one attending the customers.Also, he didn't make the chicken biriyani that we were waiting for. He argued that he made the food correctly for the order he got and further said the kitchen is closed and he had to leave. Ms. Paula was trying to explain that he did wrong but he was arguing that he was right and he left the kitchen.Later somehow we got our chicken biriyani. We didn't like the chef's attitude towards the attender. He thinks that he's the boss of the restaurant. Such attitude can't be tolerated. Which will weaken the customer affinity towards this restaurant.The food was below average. They should improve better.Place was ambient and organized. Owner should hire chefs with good attitude and better cooking skills.Hope Mr. Owner sees this. Good luck!Parking: Parking was spacious

Jeff Sellers: Shoe leather lamb

Erin Dilley: Best Indian food in Grand Rapids.

Matt Arnett: I ordered take out here as I was craving Indian food. For 3 people the food cost over $20 a person for basic items. They told me it would take 40 minutes, but I arrived and was told to wait longer. When I went to pay they added a mandatory gratuity, even though I was getting take out and had no server. Over priced and slow. We'll find a better option next time.

Josip Benko: Definitely the top place for Indian food. My wife and I have made it our go to meal for Friday Nights! We usually get the Chicken and Lamb Tikki Masala with some Garlic Naan. I do wish we got a few more pieces of lamb and chicken but overall the meal was fantastic. Great creamy sauce, with a side of fragrant jasmine rice, you really can't go wrong here.

Shubha Somashekhar: I have been to this place a couple of times before. It is usually when I am passing via Grand Rapids. This time, food didn't taste as good as last year, and some of the breads barely had salt. My kids wanted to eat here this time, and they were disappointed with cheese Naan and they said it barely had any cheese, which they had previously liked.

Matt B: The food is amazing and the service is good if you can flag down a server. One thing we didn't realize is that some of the dishes do not automatically come with rice. We waited for the server to come back so we could ask for rice, but the server never came back. We had to go up to the bar to get some attention, but this was probably a fluke, since they were pretty busy. All in all, it's one of the top Indian restaurants in Grand Rapids.Vegetarian options: Decent vegetarian options, as Indian food tends to lean towards vegetarian. More options than your average restaurant.

dilu Sharma: I highly recommend this place!!! Desi spies is one of the best Indian + Nepalese restaurant that I found in Grand Rapids. I moved to Grand Rapids eight months ago from Nashville, Tennessee and I have been many Indian restaurant in here but the most delicious cuisine I found out is this restaurant. The dumpling is to die for, so delicious. Methi Chicken, Butter chicken, Chowing, goat curry, lamp Rogan Josh and Etc.The staffs are very friendly and welcoming. I’m definitely going back to this restaurant. ❤️

Greg Cleveland: Had dinner tonight, Butter Chicken, Paneer Tikka Masala, Malai Kofta and Garlic Nan. YES. Tasty, authentic. Atmosphere was simply real. Nothing fancy, but so delicious and generous portions.Will be going back here.

AgentTheory: Ordered through Door Dash. We had (left to right) the lamb saag, Rogan Josh, and chicken vindaloo. Rich flavor profile, but I think they add the hot spice late in the cooking, which tends to cover the other flavors. All three dishes also had whole bay leaves (or other type) and other solid spices in the finished dish. Good flavor overall, but rather crude preparation technique.

andi nicpon: I really enjoy Desi spice I go there once a week to once every other week. I've had the chicken tikka masala, the butter chicken, and the tandoori chicken. I usually go for a spice level three or four which works out great. There's enough flavor in there but you're not hating yourself for getting it. I would highly recommend trying Desi spice if you never tried it and are looking for some really good Indian food

Tiva: Always come back for their great dumpling especially the chili momo and mango lassi.

Meera Patel: I spoke to the owner Prabin at 7:40 pm on January 11, 2023. I called him to inform him that the order that I received was not what I placed on the phone with Durga. I asked for 3 orders of extra spicy chilli chicken momos. And I received three orders of blend chili chicken momos. Also Durga failed to ask me what spice level I want. This has happened several times in the past. All in all the customer service is terrible. I asked him what he could do for me since I did not receive what I paid for and instead of solving the issue he was being very rude to me. Saying that next time I should say what spice level I want such as 20 or 30. I am a frequent customer of desi spice, so the way this was handled was not acceptable at all.

Jeffery Seegert: First time eating at this restaurant. It is primarily Indian with a small selection of Napalese food. I started with the vegetarian samosas (2 per order). These were freshly made, large and crispy on the outside. The flavors were spot on, especially with the spicy Tamarind based dipping sauce. My son and I ordered the Chicken Thukpa and the kauai goat along with some Bhatura. The flavors were extraordinary and spot on with the spice levels. My son, who can be a picky eater, said one word during dinner ...."good!" The portions were very large with very reasonable pricing. The only down side was that the menu had no drinks on it and the selection in the cooler was limited to sprite and orange soda. All on all a great place to eat. I will be returning frequently to explore the menu.

Edward Dixon: Very good food fresh and amazing for such a small place. The potions are large. Staff are very polite and friendly. It is worth a visit. I have been to many Indian restaurants throughout the US I would say for a small place it compares to some of those larger restaurants.

Kori Wickham: First time there. Quality food. I didn’t expect it. No buffet but the menu has so much available. Yummy momo and bread basket. Shahi planner amazing. Butter chicken good. Chicken briyani amazing with no bones in it. NO BUFFET is not available here. Oh, and fair prices. Leave a good tip. Will be back. The spice was spicy! Yay!

Pradhyumna Kumar Pillamari: Ambience is really old. Service was very slowCouldn’t handle grub hub and dine in orders together. We sat at our table for 20 mins after the appetizers to get our entrees. Chicken Tikka and coke was the only thing I could feel like eating. Please don’t ever try their chicken fried rice. I should have asked for a refund on the rice. Dumplings very just ok. Overall not recommended!

Esther White: Update: I became very ill after eating a small portion of the food I ordered here. I reached out to the 3rd party delivery service and they're investigating the issue for me.Ordered delivery from here and was disappointed with the outcome. The cucumber salad is $5 for literally a half cucumber cut up with pepper sprinkled on top. The samosa is good, but the vegetable biryani and aloo gobi were both so strongly seasoned with mint it was borderline inedible. I've ordered from here before and had similar issues but wanted to give it another shot, I definitely wouldn't recommend the food here due to both experiences being fairly negative. I would say the only item that has been satisfactory is the samosa and chicken fried rice. Kind bummed out about bad food, but maybe they just need to work on a little quality control?

sun ny: Indian food does not taste good. Nepali foods are ok. Most of the food don't have the flavors they need to be.2 star is for Nepali food and staff. For Indian food it's 0. Ambience and neatness not good.Food: 1/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 1/5 …More

Dominic Iacovoni: This place is very authentic. I keep coming back! Even when I’ve an issue/mix up, they’ve gone out of their way to make it right. This is a reliable and respectful establishment and a genuine experience of Indian cuisine. It’s a little hidden gem. I recommend anyone try it and disagree! Fair prices.Vegetarian options: Great paneer!

Leslie Soriano: It has a great vibe. The food looks and tasted great. Felt like authentic Indian cuisine. It can be considered spicy for some. Staff was nice and came every certain time to refill water and make sure everything was going good.

Carrie Simons: We had a large party before our daughter got married. We already had reservations but the private room was too small to accommodate us properly. We were putting people at the end of tables and still didn't fully have everyone seated at a table. We did make do and the staff did their very best to accommodate all of us. It just wasn't a practical place for the number of people we had.We will go back again, just with less people.

Himanshu Agrawal: We recently dined at this restaurant and I must say, we were thoroughly impressed. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff, who made us feel right at home. The ambiance was perfect – with just the right lighting and decor to create a relaxed and inviting atmosphere.Now, on to the food – it was absolutely delicious! Every dish that I tried was expertly crafted and bursting with flavor. The chef clearly knows what they're doing and takes great pride in their work. I especially loved buffet, the hara bhara kabab and vegetable biryani which were perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection. And don't even get me started on the dessert – it was divine!But what really set this restaurant apart for me was the exceptional service. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive without being intrusive. They made sure we had everything we needed, and even provided some great recommendations on what to try.Overall, I had an amazing experience at Pind Indian Cuisine and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. From the food to the service to the atmosphere, everything was top-notch. Thank you to the staff and the chef for making our day so memorable!"

Laura F: Amazing food and beverages and attentive service. Great location and atmosphere. Staff is so welcoming and food is prepared and delivered very quickly. We did have a minor delay in our initial bar order, but it was due to a large party that had just ordered. The bartender more than made up for the delay with a very special treat for our table. Can't wait to go back again!

Sara Meinke: Very nice dinner -Chicken Masala, drinks were delayed due to large wedding party, the manager was apologetic and delivered a round of green tea shots for the table!

Johaun Hassen: I used to live downtown and my only regret is not living closer to Pind! I had an event that took me down close to them, but they are closed at the time I got done (4pm) no matter, bring it to me. Food was still hot packaged properly and DELICIOUS.Lamb chops, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and rice! Not pictured matter paneer for my wife. I love this place!

Lilly Baker: I wish more people knew about this place! I have been several times and it's usually pretty slow. The butter chicken is super good. They also have a weekday lunch buffet that is a great deal. Highly recommend for Indian food in Grand Rapids.

David Kaiser: I go here on a semi-regular basis. The price is a little high, but the food is top notch. I like to try different things on the menu and they never disappoint - so much flavor! Today I had goat curry. At first I thought it was a bad deal because of all the bone, but when I sucked the marrow out I understand why the was so much bone. It was so good I was moaning with satisfaction. The meat was tender and delicious, but the marrow made the dish a step above. They also include basmati rice, unlike some rivals. Definitely a must try. Beware, the heat level is not for an average American palate. If you're unsure, go a spice level down. If you're adventurous, ask for Indian spicy - you'll sweat like your in a sauna, but the delicious flavor cuts through.

KORORION: As the first time I've ever had Indian cuisine, I've gotta say that the CHILLI CHICKEN IS PHENOMENAL absolutely the most delicious thing I've had in awhile, there's so many powerful flavors here , if you love a ROBUST flavor with a hint of sweetness then this is definitely the dish to get here!!10/10 ps. ALWAYS GET EXTra bread or rice (you'll thank me later)

Richard Watson: Visited for lunch. The buffet was well stocked with a variety of foods. I love spicy foods, but my body doesn’t. There were several choices for me. My friends dug in with the spiced items. Everyone had a satisfying meal. How nice is that!? Will be back.

Rachel Mo: Delicious, great recommendations, spot-on service, nice atmosphere. Will go again!

Robert Nordling: I ordered on Door dash and they were 40 minutes late

Tina Benson: I only wish I could give Pind more than 5 stars.The service was top notch, our waitress made sure we had everything we needed. Our glasses were always full and the host checked on us multiple time to make sure everything was great. All of the staff were exceptionally friendly.We loved the ambiance. The restaurant was clean, quiet, and well lit. There was plenty of room between tables, so we didn't feel crowded.The food though! The food was the highlight of the evening. The menu has a such variety to choose from, it was hard to decide but I went with the salmon and tandoori sampler. Everything was perfectly cooked, juicy, tender, wonderfully seasoned and came out simply beautiful. I have tried Indian cuisine at other establishments and enjoyed it but it simply doesn't compare to Pind. If you have not had Indian food before, go to Pind. If you think you have had the best, go to Pind. You will not be disappointed.

Qalam Arts: Wonderful Indian restaurant, the butter chicken is better than I've had any where else. The naan is also soft and buttery which can be paired with the grilled kabob plates (also delicious). The paani puri was cold and not the best I've had but everything else was delicious. Bonus points for halal meat!

Jerry Petty: Absolutely the best and most fresh food around the chicken vindaloo is the best . Great owner love it

Francesca Parnham: Tried Indian Masala on a recommendation from a friend after Bombay Cuisine closed. I got take out and the food was up to par with Bombay Cuisine. I ordered naan and tikka masala. The menu is reasonably priced. 4 stars because I would not dine-in. The staff is very friendly but the atmosphere isn’t the cleanest, it’s poorly lit (meaning way too bright) and they do not offer alcoholic beverages. Will be ordering take out again!

Kami Outlaw: Fresh authentic food great blend of spices.

Davis Head: My parents got me take out from this place as I am, at the time of writing this review, currently quarantined in my house due to Covid. Although I usually base my restaurant opinions on how the food is on location (since it’s usually more fresh and plated how it’s supposed to be), the *very spicy* chicken tikka masala knocked my socks off with how delicious it was. It had a great balance between unique, savory flavor and challenging spice level. The meat was plentiful and tasted fresh and tender, while the rice I poured the curry over was light, soft and delicious. I also got the tandoori roti for some side bread, which I thought complemented the meal very well. It looked and tasted just like fresh, whole wheat bread that I would have baked at home! Overall this was an extremely satiating and satisfying meal that left me with a smile on my face and a happy tummy. I would definitely recommend Indian masala to anyone who eats food and I intend to eat from here again, hopefully in person next time! 9/10

GG Taruc: Apparently, no more buffet ☹️ please bring your buffet back.

Lee Marvin: Tasty food, but tiny portions for the price. In most Indian restaurants, buying extra bread gives you extra bread. Here, the portion was barely enough for one person. Also, we ordered two entrées and the portion of rice was enough for only one entrée. I guess covid cost cutting is alive and well here! Sadly, no value here other than being close to home.

JP Singh: As a native, I'd like to think I know what good puniabi/indian food tastes like. The food here is garbage, and the service was even worse. Our food came out either bland, or way overseasoned. The chicken 65 was tough, the gobi Manchurian was burned and salted until it was unedible, the butter chicken was nothing but cream... Need I go on? I had to go up to the staff and manager multiple times just to place orders. Even tho we had a big group, we were given next to no attention, and that's not because they were super busy. The manager would just sit down and be on his phone instead of attending to his customers, and the rest of the staff clearly followed his lead. We will not be returning.

Kathy Lentner: Fantastic food but the waiter was not very attentive. Had to ask 5 times for certain items and order 3 entres` with rice for 1. Wasn't impressed with the service at all but food was deliciousFood: 5/5|Service: 2/5|Atmosphere: 4/5 …More

Jason Boogholt: We do carry out from here pretty regularly. IMHO it’s the best in town. Can’t go wrong with butter chicken and naan, but I always love the tandoori chicken too. It’s so good I order extra to take with me for lunch later in the week!

Lauren Elaine: Indian Masala is one of my go-to restaurants in this area. I NEVER walk away disappointed. The food is delicious, the service is fast and polite, and the restaurant itself is always pristine with a welcoming, relaxing atmosphere, even when they’re busy.My go-to dish is the muglai lamb. It’s rich and tender every time. Oh! And definitely have the gulab jamun if you have a sweet tooth! It’s a real treat!
