The Viceroy Royal Indian Dining

I am writing this straight after wasting money here. The Worst indian food you will get here… You will get dal takda without tadka, korma is like gravy already cooked.
Please don’t visit this restaurant!

Lunch Buffett for 10 dollars. Great deal. Regular menu prices are a bit higher so the buffet is a steal. Clean and very fast service.

I love this place! Yummy abundant quality food with great, non-​disturbing customer service with an unbeatable buffet price. On my way there now for another awesome meal.

I always get more than enough exercise to make up for any overindulgence at Viceroy.
I eat a bite and dance in my chair… another bite, another wiggle. I cannot convey HOW MUCH I LOVE their buffet!!! It makes me want to break into interpretive dance. I stick with chair dancing though… and quietly so as not to disturb other diners.
As long as I’ve loved Indian food I’ve had a bad habit of staying in my comfort zone when ordering. Lamb Curry is the go-​to dish. Viceroy’s diverse selection has wooed me from this cocoon of uncertainty.
A few of the dishes I’ve seen before on the buffet:
Appetizers: Gulab Jamun, Pani Poori, Aloo Tikki and Gajar Halwa
Entrées: Vegetable Biryani, Chicken Makhni, Chicken Achari, Goat Curry, Tandoori Chicken, Gobi Manchurian, Vegetable Korma, and Mattar Paneer
Desserts: Kheer and Mango Pudding
Although they offered unlimited champagne, lemonade and OJ too I didn’t even glance in that direction. I love Mango Lassi way too much for that. Some restaurants overload your beverage with ice as a filler – increasing the odds that you’ll ask for a refill. In this case, my tall glass was all ice-​cold beverage, zero ice. I live for a good mango lassi and their version was especially creamy and delicious.
Each time I’ve been there I’ve been satisfied with the quality and abundance of food. The vibrantly decorated restaurant is clean and I like listening to Indian music playing softly overhead. The servers check in periodically to make sure everything is ok. Their concern makes a good dining experience even more enjoyable.
If you love Indian food or have never tried it and need a place to test the waters, stop in to try the buffet at Viceroy. It’s become one of the regulars in my rotation.

In town for work and found it thru Unilocal.I gave it 5 stars as the food was amazing, I go to Indian restaurants regularly and the Viceroy clearly better. Very tender meats and great flavoring and spice level. I will certainly come back the next time I am in my office again.

My go to restaurant when I’m in the mood for Indian. I usually get take out and the quality is just as great as dine in. The staff is always friendly and the restaurant is clean.
Being from NYC, I tend to be picky with Indian food and I’ve never been disappointed here. The chicken tikka masala is rich and creamy with the perfect amount of spice. The samosas are crisp and flavorful. You can end up paying around $ 60 (including tip) for a meal for two, but the quality makes the food well worth it. I highly recommend this place.

I love this place, especially the Sunday brunch for only $ 12 with mimosas! I originally found out about this place during a Meetup that took place there. We were able to try a variety of different menu options, and I did not dislike a single thing, and I tend to be a bit on the picky side. I highly recommend stopping in around noon on Sunday to try their large buffet so you can try a variety of appetizers, entrees, and desserts (mango pudding, kheer, etc.) because you really can sample a lot of options this way. If you like very spicy/​hot, you may prefer to order off the menu (I am a weakling and typically ask for Indian food to be «American mild») because the buffet is fairly mild, at least what I have tried. They also offer a variety of drinks, such as mimosas, chai tea, a rosewater concoction, lassi, etc. The service and friendliness of the staff has always been excellent and the interior has a very nice sophisticated feel. I have been to some hole-​in-​the-​wall Indian food restaurants that had good food, but I would rather get the whole package for the same price. I have taken several people here, and everyone who has tried it has enjoyed it.

I had the pleasure of eating here tonight and I will definitely go back. I cannot say enough about the service and food. The staff is very attentive and friendly. I ordered the chicken vindaloo, chicken makhni and garlic naan. While it is on the higher end price wise it was worth it. Order extra mint chutney! You will thank me later.

My wife and I have been here for both lunch and dinner. The lunch buffett is awesome with a bit of everything and the warm bread and tandori chicken are fantastic. For dinner their food was awesome and the ambience is fantastic. I can’t remember the exact name of the plate I had but it was lamb with a rich and creamy sauce. We loved it. Highly recommended.

I was not too impressed with the food in this place. For Atlanta, this Indian restaurant is below average. Many other local Indian places will give this place a good run for its money. That said, this place’s ambience is nice and not a bad place to try if you find yourself in the Dunwoody area.

You can find Viceroy Royal Indian Dining in the Perimeter Center shopping center anchored by Walmart. Viceroy is along the back edge furthest from Ashford-​Dunwoody near Hobby Lobby.
This is another restaurant I’ve frequented for many, many years as it’s the closest Indian lunch buffet to my work (Northpark). I’d always thought of Viceroy as fairly mediocre at best, however about two years ago it came under new management (you no longer have the scowling Indian woman at the register) and I must say that the food and service have both vastly improved.
The restaurant has a rather nondescript exterior that opens into a short foyer with a giant brass elephant. The interior, while by no means lush, does feature a nice bar (wine and beer only) with small tables and cloth table cloths and napkins. This is a very clean restaurant, a bit on the small-​to-​medium size for seating so if you want to entertain a large group it’s helpful to call ahead. I’ve come here dozens of times with various visitors from India who have all been very impressed by the quality of the food.
The actual buffet line is on the small size with two hot tables and one cold, but don’t be fooled by the lack of variety as all the food is very well spiced (if a bit toned down for the typical American) — I find the flavors spot-​on and very good. The tables are separated into veg and non-​veg which you’ll find is a common practice (wouldn’t want the non-​veg kooties getting on the veggies, right?) The line also has a closed-​door oven to keep the tandoori chicken hot, which, if you’ve ever had tandoori from a foil-​covered hotel pan, is a vast improvement.
The dishes are usually comprised by some of the more common favorites like tikkas, pakoras and paneers, however you’ll occasionally find some gems like the chicken vindaloo or chili chicken. There’s usually at least one goat dish and two to three chicken dishes plus the tandoori chicken. It’s all quite good and much better than under the old management — I’m not sure if there’s a new chef but something has obviously improved. I haven’t eaten here for dinner and ordered off the regular menu, however I have catered from Viceroy on a few occasions and they’ve been very accommodating.
Fresh bread (naan) is brought to your table so it’s always hot and supple — not like those places where it’s chopped up and left to die a slow death on the hot table. Service here is quite exceptional — I’m not sure how they keep on so much staff on hand.
Lunch buffet is $ 12 — quite a deal for all-​you-​can eat of this quality. This restaurant is a solid 4 stars, possibly slightly more.
Namaste!

This is just another Indian restaurant with the usual Lunch Buffet. The two things that work for this place are:
1. Décor: The place has a modern clean décor
2. Location: Located in a strip-​mall on Ashford Dunwoody road which is very active.
Besides this, if you are looking for some speciality Indian food then you will be disappointed. Expect the usual «Chicken Tikka Masala» kinda Menu.

What is there not to love about Indian buffets? You don’t have to worry about trying to figure out which entrée to order and you can sample a variety of different dishes all at one awesome price! My co-​worker John L. has been raving about their buffet here and so one day, Melissa M. and I went there a few weeks ago with John L. and my first impression of this restaurant was so great that I introduced their buffet to my boyfriend who is also a huge fan of Indian food. The restaurant is clean, well maintained. The buffet is also kept super tidy and the food served is always fresh. Their tandoori chicken is displayed in a warming oven in the middle of the buffet line and is always cooked to perfection.
The service here is fantastic. They are all courteous and will promptly get you anything you desire. On the weekends, they offer a $ 12.00 lunch buffet with a mimosa bar which is just a couple of champagne bottles with orange juice available to make your own.
After my first visit here, my boyfriend and I have been back a couple of times and each time, it’s been completely satisfactory. Food is fresh, consistent. Flavors are on point and you sure won’t leave hungry after a couple visits to the buffet line. I look forward to visiting them again and am glad that I was introduced to this restaurant in the first place.

First of all, let me say this I am not a big fan of Indian cuisine. I went for lunch and it had enough option to try a lot of different thing. The place was very well decorated and seems to be a good places. I notice the «Bottomless mimosa sign» for Sunday brunch.
The group I went with seem to like it and ate a lot. They didn’t gripe or complain about it. I am still not a fan of Indian cuisine but hey I tried it.

Viceroy was a quick dinner choice for my friend and I while driving through Dunwoody one night.
Apart from its spacious and neat dining room there was not much to impress. After a long and choppy discussion with staff about whether or not the meat they serve is halal, we decided to order the shrimp biryani and the okra vegetable dish as we couldn’t get a clear explanation and some staff although well meaning did not quite have a clear understanding and were apprehensive whether to lie or tell us the truth.
The final decision we ended up on was that the goat was halal but we decided to go a head with the shrimp biryani and okra dish. The taste was good, a little on the spicy side and service outside of the little hiccup at the beginning was good also.

Came here for dinner last night with a group of 4 others. I really liked the tandoori chicken appetizer and the red pepper salsa that comes on the side. I enjoyed my paneer tikka masala and garlic naan. Service was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice. I’ll be back for the lunch buffet next time I’m in the area.

I came here for a Sunday brunch buffet with a friend. It was excellent. I would recommend it to anyone.
I have one sentence for their Sunday brunch… «Bottomless make your own mimosas». Nuff said.
The food is very good. Lamb, chicken, lots of veggie options, all for the buffet price. Well seasoned and healthy. Typical brunch buffets are loaded with bacon, sausage, ham, etc. Here you can actually get a good meal that doesn’t require you to sleep afterwards. And it’s all seasoned perfectly and if you like Indian food it’s AWESOME.
Bottomless make your own mimosas
’Nuff said

I come here mostly for lunch buffet on Friday afternoons with co workers.
Although not a great variety of food available for buffet, I think for 10 $ lunch buffet it’s a fair deal.
Mango pudding is my favorite from their lunch buffet.
I ate a la carte only once here for dinner.
Had ordered okra (bindi masala) fry and butter Panneer masala with naan. Others at the table ordered chicken 65 and chicken biryani.
Both the curries were good taste-​wise but not quantity wise. Naan was ok. Chicken biryani was plain average and so was chicken 65.
All in all, not a fancy place for dinner. But lunch buffet might be worth it once in a while on weekdays. Must warn that it gets crazy crowded during lunch buffets (on Fridays) between 1−2pm.

I’ve had dinner as well as lunch here. Definitely not a fan of buffets in general (at Indian restaurants or otherwise) so I will leave a dinner review here instead…
I stopped in after work during the week. 2 other customers were there and the service was very friendly and prompt (not always the case at Indian spots). Perhaps it was the lack of customers but I didn’t mind the check ins one bit!
Warning: the lunch crowd is insane — not my thang at all. Way too crowded.
I got my standard shrimp vindaloo dish (which is what I judge any Indian restaurant on as this is my staple dish). They got it right — spicy and delicious. I still am looking for my go-​to Indian resto in the A but this one comes close.
Wish is was not in the area it is in — Dunwoody/​Perimeter mall just plain sucks for traffic.

Wow thought I wrote about this place already.
You would almost miss Viceroy if you didn’t know what you were looking for, make sure to stop in the food here is really good. Walking in you will find white linen tables and a very busy take out area. There is a lunch buffet available and on the weekends will be served with a mimosa if you like. There has always been enough of a selection to keep myself and others happy. Make sure to get there early the buffet is closed promptly at 2:30.
Having dinner in, the lighting is turned down and people speak softly bread is brought to the table after you have made your choices. Management will even check on you making sure you are happy.
If you are getting to go I have found everything has always been packed carefully with plenty of bread.
