" The Lion Indian Cuisine is a hidden gem! I brought my family here for lunch, and everyone found something they loved. I enjoyed the chicken tikka masala, which was creamy and had just the right kick to it. My husband likes spicy food and was thrilled that they offer customized spice levels. We left satisfied and with leftovers to enjoy at home. I must say, their service was prompt and courteous but could use a little more warmth. Still highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard a lot about The Lion Indian Cuisine! As a lover of Indian food, I decided to visit for dinner with my friends this week. The food was served hot and freshly prepared; however, I found some dishes to be lacking in flavor, particularly the vegetable curry. On the other hand, the garlic naan was delightful, and the service was friendly and prompt. I suggest sticking to the popular items on the buffet for the best experience. Overall, it was a satisfactory dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to many Indian restaurants, but The Lion truly stands out. The food is incredibly authentic – I felt like I was back in India for a moment! The naan was fluffy and warm, perfect for soaking up the magical butter chicken sauce. The ambiance, while simple, was cozy and inviting. The only downside was that it got a bit crowded during lunchtime. Overall, a wonderful experience that I'll happily repeat. " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me tell you, if you want authentic Indian food, this is your place! Every morsel was delightful, especially the butter chicken and garlic naan! The staff was super friendly and made us feel at home. Even the dessert, kheer, was phenomenal! We're looking forward to returning for the lunch buffet. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!
