" I was a bit skeptical after reading mixed reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised! The food exceeded my expectations, especially the lentil soup and chicken curry. The service was prompt and accommodating. If you're in the area and craving Indian food, this is the place to go. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn’t very impressed with this restaurant at all. The chicken tikka masala was very bland, and the service, though friendly, was really slow. I think they need to work on their recipes or take hints from other Indian restaurants in the area. I probably won’t come back unless I hear good things about the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Minerva Indian Cuisine has been a go-to for my family! The food is consistently good, and their buffet options are varied and generous. We especially enjoy the lamb curry and their delicious desserts. The wait staff can be a bit distracted at times, but they're lovely people. Overall, a great place to indulge in Indian flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Flavor-packed and delightful! We went here on a busy Saturday, and while the service was stretched thin, the hardworking staff still managed to keep it together. The food is simply outstanding - I loved their paneer dishes! Great atmosphere too. Highly recommend the buffet for a real treat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Best Indian food in town! The ambience is great, the decor reflects Indian culture beautifully. I’m a huge fan of their chicken korma, absolutely delicious. Staff members are friendly and always make sure we are satisfied. Definitely a place I would return to often. " (*Curated Review*)

" The buffet was good but could use more options. I loved the butter chicken but the other dishes didn't impress me as much. The atmosphere was welcoming and the service was friendly. I also found the prices reasonable, but I'm looking for a bit more variety to come back regularly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Minerva Indian Cuisine is a hidden gem! As someone new to Indian food, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed my meal. The flavors are vibrant, and the pieces of chicken in my korma were tender and perfectly cooked. The staff was considerate, ensuring our drinks were always full. I’m looking forward to trying out their buffet next time! " (*Curated Review*)
