Had halwa puri nashta with my whole family today. The food was amazing & so fresh. Really enjoyed the portion size & the flavours. Not only, but the staff was very friendly & nice, especially the one who was wearing a black cap. Very nice & clean atmosphere, as travellers, we really enjoyed.

They refused to serve halwa puri while giving it to other customers at the same time. We tried to give them a second chance even after my friend found steel sponge thread in the food, very poor & disgusting customer service!

Place was empty so we enjoyed the environment. Food was from Sandhu so it had to be fresh. It was warm good & the taste was OK.

Very disappointing buffet. The food was tasteless, cold & way too spicy. Trays were not refilled & Lamb dishes without meat only gravy left & dirty plates piled up on the table while waiters didn't even come to clear them. For $30.99 + tx per person, it is seriously overpriced. This buffet should cost around $9.99 at most. I would not go back & do not recommend it.
