" India Pavilion exceeded my expectations! This was my first visit, and I was truly impressed. The thali platter was a feast for the senses, with each item well-prepared and bursting with flavor. The staff showed a great level of care, explaining the dishes thoroughly. The only downside was that the place was a bit crowded, but that just shows how popular it is. Overall, I would rate it 5 out of 5 and will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely spot! India Pavilion is casually elegant. I loved their thali platter with an array of various items. Not all the items were equally spicy, but it allowed for a nice balance. The staff was polite and genuinely appreciated feedback on how to improve their culinary delights. Would happily return for both lunch and dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my meal at India Pavilion, but I think the hype might be a bit much. The food was good, but I expected a bit more in terms of authenticity. The service was fine and pretty fast. The environment was pleasant, making it a good place to dine with friends. Overall, I would still recommend it but with tempered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I had a lukewarm experience at India Pavilion. While the food was good, I expected more authentic spices. The service was nice, but the wait for our food felt a bit long. The ambiance is pleasant, but I think I've had better Indian food at other places around town. I'll probably try a different restaurant next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited with a group for the lunch buffet, which is generally a great value at $15.99. The variety was good, but I was disappointed that some dishes were lukewarm, and the tandoori chicken was dry. I managed to find a few reliable favorites though, like the biryani and paneer tikka. Given its reputation, I'd suggest improvements in maintaining food temperature. Service was great, the staff were attentive and friendly throughout. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family had a special dinner at India Pavilion, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere was lively, and the staff greeted us with warmth. The chicken korma was rich and delightful, and the vegetable biryani exceeded expectations. The only downside was that we didn't find enough options for non-vegetarian appetizers. Overall, we were pleased with our dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" This Indian restaurant is hands down my favorite! The ambiance feels like a piece of India with traditional music adding to the vibe. The food is always fresh and never disappoints. I recently tried their goat curry for the first time and it was exceptional. Also tried their mango lassi which is a must-have! I'm always treated with respect and the service is prompt.
