" I’ve always loved Indian food, and I must say, Pooja Indian Grill is one of my top choices in Sacramento. Their buffet is unparalleled, especially with options like the butter chicken and the goat curry. However, I found the desserts a bit lacking compared to the main dishes; the mango ice cream could use a bit more mango flavor. Nonetheless, stunning service and a nice atmosphere make this restaurant one to revisit! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Pooja Indian Grill left much to be desired. While the menu looked promising with many options, I was disappointed with the execution of the food. My butter chicken lacked the rich flavors I expected, and the naan was cold. The service was also quite slow, leading to a frustrating experience. The decor was neat, but the overall dining experience wasn’t on par with what I’ve experienced at other Indian restaurants. Would think twice before coming back unless I hear improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" The lunch buffet is definitely worth it! I loved the variety, from the vegetarian options to rich meat dishes. I recommend the lamb curry and the mango lassi; they were outstanding. The service was decent and quite friendly, which added to the experience. It’s a cozy place but can get a little crowded during lunchtime, so plan accordingly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic Indian food! We had a lovely experience at Pooja Indian Grill. The curries were authentic and packed with flavor. The staff are very friendly and attentive; it truly felt welcoming. The garlic naan was also a highlight—it paired perfectly with the rich dishes. The only downside was that the space felt a bit cramped during peak hours, but that won’t stop me from returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Pooja Indian Grill a couple of times now, and I thoroughly enjoy the food each time. The buffet has a great variety, but sometimes it's not refilled quickly enough during busy hours. I really appreciated the spices they used, as each dish has a unique flavor profile. The atmosphere is vibrant, which adds to the whole experience. My go-to dish is definitely the garlic naan with any curry dish; it never disappoints! I definitely recommend this place for those who love Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Very good Indian restaurant in the area! Tried the dinner special, and the chicken vindaloo was amazing, perfectly spiced and tender. The ambiance is traditional, and the service was attentive— our waiter checked on us frequently which I appreciated. The desserts could improve, especially since I expected better after such a heavy meal. Still planning to come back very soon; I want to try out more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Pooja Indian Grill was rather disappointing. The food quality did not match the rave reviews I had heard; the spices felt off, and the chicken was overcooked. The service was slow, and the atmosphere didn’t offset the food’s shortcoming. I doubt I’ll return unless there’s some significant change. " (*Curated Review*)
