" While the staff was friendly, I found the food at India Pavilion to be underwhelming. The Chicken Biryani tasted more like pilaf than actual biryani, and the spices were bland. It's a shame because I've heard such good things. The atmosphere was decent, but I expected more from the food quality based on the restaurant’s reputation. I'll be back to try the buffet since many praised it, but I wasn't impressed with my single order. " (*Curated Review*)

" India Pavilion surpassed my expectations! The food was freshly prepared and bursting with vibrant flavors. The biryani was some of the best I've had outside of India, with just the right amount of spice. The service was friendly and welcoming, but it felt a little busy at times. Which is understandable for a popular place like this. I will definitely make it a regular stop when I'm in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance at India Pavilion is very charming, and the decor reflects Indian culture. The lunch buffet is quite affordable, and I particularly enjoyed the chicken dishes. However, I felt some items could use a bit of extra padding to enhance their flavor and authenticity. Nevertheless, the service was attentive, and the overall experience was very enjoyable! " (*Curated Review*)

" So glad we decided to dine at India Pavilion! Friends recommended the lunch buffet, and it truly exceeded my expectations. Everything from the Daal Makhani to the multitude of vegetarian dishes was superbly flavored. I felt welcomed by the staff, and the dining area exuded a pleasant vibe. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and trying out their dinner offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" In my opinion, India Pavilion serves some great Indian dishes, especially their lunch buffet. I loved the variety of both vegetarian and meat options available. The flavors were rich, though I noticed a few dishes lacked that authentic punch I associate with Indian cuisine. The staff were friendly, and my overall experience was pleasant, just a few tweaks needed in their spice game! " (*Curated Review*)

" The India Pavilion provided one of the worst experiences I’ve had at an Indian restaurant. While the staff was friendly, the food was lackluster. My Chicken Korma was bland, and I could hardly taste any spices. The atmosphere itself was mediocre and not particularly inviting. I doubt I’ll return unless I hear significant improvements in the quality of food. Very disappointing! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a splendid time dining at India Pavilion for dinner. The Chicken Tikka Masala was delightful; it had the right balance of spices. However, I was a bit let down by the limited dessert options as I expected more choices. The restaurant was quite loud during our visit, which made it hard to have a conversation, but overall, I would rate our experience highly and recommend the place for anyone looking for authentic Indian food!
