" Had high expectations after many positive recommendations, but my experience at India Pavilion was mixed. The masala dosa was decent, but the chicken curry I ordered lacked the spices that are signature to Indian cuisine. It felt a little bland. On the other hand, the service was attentive, and I loved the decor of the restaurant. I might give it another chance, especially since others rave about the buffet. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I visited India Pavilion last weekend and it was a delightful experience! The samosas were perfectly spiced, and the curries were both luscious and fulfilling. The wait staff were attentive and friendly, providing just the right balance of service without being intrusive. This definitely feels like an authentic place, and we’re excited to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came across India Pavilion by chance and I was glad I did! The decor is inviting, and some dishes like the paneer tikka were fantastic! However, my main course of lamb curry was a touch on the salty side. The service was very friendly, but I wish my dish had the balance I was looking for. Still worth a shot for their other offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to India Pavilion was just okay. I expected a better buffet experience based upon what I have heard. Some dishes lacked seasoning while others were fine. The staff was polite and the ambiance was cozy, but it just didn’t hit all the marks for me. I might try a different time with a new dish! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful place to eat Indian food! The options were plentiful, and everything I tried had an authentic flavor that wasn’t watered down. Samosas were crispy, and their butter chicken paired wonderfully with garlic naan. Plus, I loved the warm atmosphere, making it perfect for a family dinner. Would definitely recommend this to anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine. " (*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.
