" I had the most amazing experience at Pooja Indian Grill! The atmosphere is very inviting, with charming Indian décor that makes you feel truly immersed in the culture. We ordered a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, including palak paneer and chicken korma, and both were executed flawlessly. I especially loved the freshly fried samosas, which were crispy and mouthwatering. The service was prompt, and our server was very friendly, checking on us frequently to ensure we were happy with our meals. The highlight was their special mango ice cream—it was the best I’ve ever had! Truly a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pooja Indian Grill was recommended to me by friends, and I am so glad I listened! The restaurant has a great vibe, and the food is just out of this world. I went for the lunch buffet, and I was impressed by both the variety and the flavor. Everything I tried was fresh and delicious! Not only was the goat curry a standout, but the spicy chicken tikka was a close second. I also want to highlight the pleasant service; our waiter was great. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Pooja Indian Grill, and it was an excellent experience! The chicken tikka masala was so creamy and flavorful, and the garlic naan was the perfect side to complement it. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure our drinks were always full. We tried the mango ice cream for dessert, and it was heavenly! The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that I would highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! The food is consistently good every time I dine here. The buffet offers so many excellent options that it’s hard to pick just a few! I typically go for the peri-peri chicken and the mixed veg curry, both very flavorful. The ambiance is lovely, with a decent crowd, but I also appreciate the staff’s attentiveness. Highly recommend if you’re in search of authentic Indian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having recently moved to Sacramento, I decided to explore the local Indian dining scene and stumbled upon Pooja Indian Grill. My family and I went for the lunch buffet, and it was delightful! The goat curry was particularly good, tender and perfectly spiced. I loved the ambiance, as it felt very much like home, with friendly artwork lining the walls. However, there was a slight delay in getting replenished items at the buffet, and the service could be a tad quicker. Nonetheless, the food made up for it—absolutely delicious and worth a visit again. " (*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*)
