It's now known as "The New Famous Indian Cuisine" since they moved down the street from their previous location as "The Famous Indian Cuisine". It's become one of our favourites for cheap Indian AYCE buffet, making the trek out of the downtown core worth it for us.
The food here is good, it gets replaced every so often by the kitchen even during less busy hours. The na'an is great and comes fresh to the table. Unfortunately, the buffet is not labeled. Table service was alright, we managed to have our waters refilled occasionally and our dirty plates were removed when we left them in a stack at the end of the table. Otherwise, the one waitress was sitting at the front on her phone during the off hours.
I thought it was strange that you only get 1 scoop of ice cream - any more it's extra. -

Best butter chicken in the city - hands down
I've been coming here for years. Suki does a great job with the food - especially with his butter chicken which is smoky, sweet and super yummy. Food takes a while to come, but that is to be expected when made lovingly from scratch. Delicious nan bread and rice, selection of Indian beers like my favourite, Cheetah. Reasonable prices. Just keep in mind the food might take 20-30 mins to arrive. -

Ive been here. Used to be Mahaar Restaurant. My mom loved Mahaar Restaurant. It was my first introduction to indian cuisine 39 yrs ago. To this day im in love w south east asian cooking.
Last time here, had the lunch buffet. Unlimited amounts of adequetly cooked food. What can i say, surely deserves a visit -

This place is pretty good, although it isn't my favourite along the Gerrard Strip. Food is good, but I think they keep the spices low as there is a mix of Indian and other cultures that come to this place. Food is fresh and staff are very attentive.

Agree with the other reviewers about this buffet place, as it really hit the spot!
Half of the curry dishes were veg and the other half meat based and the tandoori chicken was splendid. Upon entering we were heartily greeted with smiles and a handshake by an enthusiastic and friendly proprietor. The small room didn't have anything going for it, but they said they are moving into their own space soon nearby in Little Pakistan which will help their curb appeal. Food was great here! You need to ask for naan and they make it fresh so it was warm, steamy and delicious! The price for lunch buffet is $9.95 and dinner is $11.95 and they only tacked on a dollar for a pop. Make sure you overtip so they can keep going!!
