" While visiting friends in State College, I discovered India Pavilion and I am thrilled I did! The ambiance is filled with warmth and color, making it a lovely place to dine. I ordered the Bhel Puri, which was delightful and perfectly tangy. The Chicken Curry was also very pleasing, though I found it a tad on the oily side. Nevertheless, this place is a great spot for genuine Indian flavors, and I would recommend it happily! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying India Pavilion based on a friend's recommendations, but honestly, it fell short for me. The curry I had seemed watered down and lacked spice, making it a bland experience. However, the service was great; the staff was attentive and friendly. I hope they can work on their recipes because I truly want to love this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just popped into India Pavilion randomly, and oh my, I'm so glad I did! The savory aromas drew me in, and the food didn't disappoint. The Chicken Tikka was simply amazing. It had just the right kick of spices! The atmosphere felt lively, perfect for a casual dining experience. Will definitely return for the lunch buffet; I can only imagine how good that is! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed my food at India Pavilion, I found the portion sizes a bit inconsistent. My main dish was plentiful, and I loved the variety on their buffet, but the dessert portions were minimal. Overall, the flavors were remarkable, and the welcoming service made up for any shortcomings in portion control. I'd visit again, especially for the lunch specials! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want a genuine Indian experience, this is the place to be! India Pavilion's buffet had an amazing spread, from traditional curries to delightful appetizers. The staff were courteous and made us feel at home. I particularly liked their Mango Lassi, which was refreshing! The atmosphere was lively yet cozy, creating the perfect dining environment.

" 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! " (*Curated Review*)
