After reading all the stellar reviews on this place, I guess I had super high standards. It was only a 10 minute walk from my place, so I made the effort considering I rarely go for Indian food in the city!
The decor/environment is definitely subpar. It looks like a re-done diner, which really, is fine. Cuz you're not there for the place, but the food!
It's self-serve, buffet style. Really food it bland, all the curries. There wasn't much to choose from. I think about 5 or 6? They also had a salad bar sort of deal and fried chicken thighs that tasted like rubber.
Hm, redeeming quality? The rice wasn't bad.
So I guess you get what you pay for. The $9 certain was suffice but a waste of a buffet and i'll never be back!
THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE DINER/ RESTAURANT PART NOT THE BANQUET
I strolled in here on a Friday afternoon and I'm glad I did. One bit of advise do not sit in the second set of single booth seats, the AC leaks. During the noon to 4pm hour they offer a $10 all you can eat buffet. The selection is reasonable for the cost. I only have one issue with the food. When I was putting peppers on my plate I noticed that they forgot to take the sticker off and cooked the peppers with the sticker. I politely took the sticker off and put the pepper to the side. The food was so tasty and delicious and wasn't as spicy as I thought it was going to be. It was a very hot day and I was glad that our pitcher of water kept on getting refilled every-time that we were finished. I was a little surprised that this place was not packed. You might get a little confused when you come here because there is a big hall next to this place which gives the illusion that your walking in the wrong way. Make sure you go to the diner part or else your walking into a hall. The small little diner looks like it can hold 40 to 60 people. The buffet section wasn't that big it was placed on two long tables in the shape of an L. If you do not ask for anything to drink they automatically put water on your table and no offer of beverage is brought upon you. I didn't get to check out the bathroom when I go back I will. One might be scared of the decor but it felt like a whole different atmosphere as if we were in India with an american style looking restaurant, its really hard to explain. The art on the walls were rather interesting, I wanted to take a closer look but was in a bit of a rush because of the prior plans after eating. My reason for the 3 stars is because I did not get to see the bathroom, the leaky ac and the sticker on my green pepper. Other then that there is no complaints.
Although dwarfed by the catering side of the business's building, the inside of Five Star is surprisingly large. One waitress to assist all tables, even though we were sitting for brunch proved to be inadequate.
Nan came out at the halfway point, water cups remained empty for too long. However, the buffet made up for the shortcomings.
All the typical meat dishes were kept warm within their trays, part of a non flame, but liquid driven temperature control system, keeping items hot and moist.
The goat chunks were so large, they could be misconstrued as beef, minus the taste and sharp bones.
Street parking was quite a chore.
Very strange location but if you can get yourself here you won't be disappointed. It's a small Indian diner and next door is a huge banquet hall that can hold up to 600 people. I can't comment on how authentic this place is but I was pretty happy.
There were 7 of us in total and we ordered a nice assortment of food. There was a nice serving of beer, samosa chatt (which wasn't on the menu) and lots and lots of entrees, nan and rice. I ordered the vegatrian kofta in curry sauce. It's a nice helping of curry with vegetable meatballs. Served with rice for the table it was creamy and the spices were just right. I'm so glad someone ordered the samosa chatt because it was really fantastic. It's samosas with a bunch of stuff on top including onions, chickpeas and an assortment of spices. It was a nice deep fried crunch along with the toppings. I had a bit of the butter curry which was really great as well, a tad different from the kofta sauce. Also, the chicken tikki was good but a bit dry. Do come if you are in the area! Due to the location it definitely attracts a very diverse crowd!
