“ Food was incredible. You come in for a bite and some good conversation. Staff was respectful and service was great. ”
“ Very good Indian food. Favorite menu items: Mixed Tandoori grill (with chicken, lamb, and shrimp), butter chicken, vegetable samosas, and naan bread (we got both the plain and cheese versions, both were delicious but the cheese naan was the best). Most of their business is either takeout or the lunch buffet. We didn't see many people come to dine-in for dinner but the service was friendly in this small restaurant. ”
“ Solid spot for Indian food. We ordered takeout so can't speak to the dine-in experience but every time we order, it satisfies our Indian food craving. We order the usual, Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Curry and they're all super flavorful and delicious. My only knock is that it's a bit on the pricier side given the smaller the portion size. ”
“ Came here for the lunch buffet around 12:45 pm on a Friday. The restaurant was fairly quiet. The food was tasty but unfortunately too spicy to share with my two-year-old. Friendly service and very clean. ”
“ We tried Utsav on a whim, and we are so happy that we did! I've been searching for delicious restaurants in the area, and had yet to find an Indian restaurant we loved. Well, look no further! I'm telling you, Utsav is it. Of course we ordered the usuals--Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Dal Makhani, Raita, Roti, and Garlic Naan. Everything was delicious and had all the right flavors, spices, and heat level. My favorite of the bunch was definitely the Butter Chicken, although I did like the additional vegetables in the Tikka Masala as well. The raita paired nicely with the curries and I really enjoyed dipping the garlic naan and roti in the thick sauces. I would absolutely order from Utsav again. Very happy to have found a local spot with quality Indian food! ”
“ I found this restaurant because my parents were requesting it. It is near their house. They have been to several Indian restaurants in South Bay and said that this one is better than the rest. It is a tiny place in a strip mall and those places usually wind up being the best. From the moment I walked in the door, the smells were intoxicatingly delicious! Although I was there for carry out, I swore to myself that I will return someday soon for the AYCE buffet, so I can try a lot of different dishes. The portions are very large, my dish actually lasted me three meals. We did get a lot of sides though too. ”
“ Great neighborhood restaurant. Smaller buffet but the quality is there. Smaller and very clean dining area but can accomodate a work group, family or a group of friends. Like naan which is usually served tableside, so is the rice. Also, I've never seen Butter Chicken, one of my fave Indian dishes at a buffet. The food and service is excellent. We will be back for sure! ”
