I visited with my husband on a Friday night. They weren't busy (which we loved). It was quiet and a very comfortable atmosphere. We ordered For The Pride which says it is for 2 people. It is so much incredibly delicious food. Just when we thought they were done delivering food, they brought a sizzling plate with chicken, lamb and shrimp. And then a plate of nan. We ate until we were more than full, and thought about the leftover nan all the way home. This was a bit of a drive for us, but we'll gladly make it again for food and service of this quality! Highly recommend.

Excellent food and customer service. The buffet has wide selection of foods to try and had great taste. The chai tea was great as well. Worth the visit!

The food here is absolutely amazing. It's a family favorite and they also have Door Dash (this is dangerous). I cannot recommend this place enough!!!

I pride myself on my discerning palate when it comes to Indian cuisine, having savored its flavors across continents. However, my recent foray into The Lion Indian Cuisine left me questioning not only my taste buds but also the reliability of my own eyesight. Seeking refuge from the lackluster offerings of a nearby theme park, my companions and I ventured to The Lion in search of a culinary escape, only to be met with disappointment at every turn. Opting for the paneer pakoras to start, I found myself confronted with a dish that was not only insipid but downright pitiful. The lone beacon of hope on our table seemed to be the papad. My anticipation for the malai kofta, a personal favorite, quickly turned to apprehension as our waiter assured me it would be served in a yellow gravy distinct from the tomato-laden paneer butter masala. However, upon its arrival, any hopes of a flavorful respite were dashed as I found myself staring at a plate drowning in the same sour sauce. I couldn't help but wonder if my own perception was at fault, questioning whether my taste buds had betrayed me or if, perhaps, I had unwittingly fallen victim to a case of color blindness. I'll leave it to you to draw your own conclusions by taking a peek our table. Adding insult to injury, my unfortunate companion opted for the chicken tikka masala, only to find it ensconced in the very same lackluster gravy. While my seasoned palate soldiered on, Jaime was not so fortunate, succumbing to a bout of nausea that marred the remainder of our evening. In summation, I urge you to steer clear of The Lion Indian Cuisine, lest you suffer the same disappointment and potential gastric distress that befell us. This establishment is best avoided at all costs.

Maybe it was a bad timing as the entire place barring one table was occupied. It was quite obvious that the staff was overwhelmed. Good seemed rushed and could have been better.

My stepdad wanted to try out this place since it is about two minutes from my house was actually surprised on how good the food was. There is a variety of food on the buffet which me my mom and stepdad opted to do since it was only $15 we didn’t want to risk ordering something from the menu And not liking it but I can say I definitely was not disappointed and definitely recommend someone to give this place a try if they are considering!
