WHAT A FIND!!! I love Indian food and I’m always looking for new places. TheBest of India is not just a cleaver name. Stopped today for my first time, lunch buffet looked fantastic, but I arrived just at the point it was ending, but to have it still look delicious when they were taking it down is impressive. I ordered off the menu. Naan, vegetable curry and Chana Masala. I loved every bite and I can’t wait to have it for lunch tomorrow too! I was really impressed w/everything — the service, the temperature of the food, the price — all great. And it’s so close to home that I’ll be back time and time again. Loved it!

Went here for an early dinner on a Sunday afternoon. The place was not busy at all and service was very prompt. I ordered the vegetable korma – delicious. I did get the medium spice level but I wish I’d ordered spicy. At the end of the meal, we asked for some extra rice to go with our left overs. They gave us a huge container of extra rice!

Ordered chicken curry, paneer tikka masala and parathas and all of them are soaked in oil. Taste is not great. It felt like precooked food. Won’t visit this place again

I have ordered from this restaurant multiple times. The food is always great. So why the 1 star? The last time I called and asked if they delivered to my house(I live in Bellevue so I did not think they would deliver but wanted to check). I provided my address to the person on the phone and to my surprise, he said that they did deliver to my house for a fee. I agreed to the fee. I also verified THREE times that he had my address correct, and spelled it out several times(e.g., «A as in Apple»). Afterward, the man on the phone confirmed my address and SPELLED it back to me. An hour later, we had not received our order. I missed a call on my phone and called the delivery man back who explained that the man who had taken my order took down the wrong address and that he needed an updated address. I provided it and made sure he knew where he was going. When he arrived at our home he HONKED until I came outside(really? — you honked? You couldn’t walk to the door?). I went to his car to pick up the food, where the delivery man SCOLDEDME about my address, and said that they do not deliver to «this» address. He then told me to verify my address with them next time and not to waste his time. He then handed me my food, and drove away. While the food was good, the experience definitely soured my opinion of this place. :(Boo hiss!

Used a Groupon and ordered al a carte… The flavors are there, everything we had(vegetable samosa, vegetable pakora, garlic/onion naan bread, mixed biryani and mango lassi) tasted fresh and was delicious. They serve pappad and 3 to 4 sauces when we sat down. Next time we’re going to try the buffet, which looked very good. The restaurant seemed clean and the service was good. It’s casual, not at all fancy, just great food! Worth a try.

Mediocre buffet at best. No garbanzo salad, no pickle, and naan not made fresh to order. Chicken and veggie dishes are decent but better is available in Nashville. The greatest insult — they pulled the kheer 10 minutes before buffet closed and the gulab was soggy and slimy.

I dropped by Best of India for a cheap lunch option today and was not disappointed! This is a little shop in an old strip mall off of Charlotte near the Vietnamese Restaurants. It feels like they try to be a bit more casual than the other Indian restaurants around town. One thing I liked is that they took the time to explain on the buffet labels exactly what each thing is. Sometimes, I get a little confused between all the dishes and I just like to know, you know? So, today my lunch was at 2:30(30 minutes before the buffet closes) and I was one of two people in the restaurant. That didn’t stop them from having fresh offerings and a full buffet still available. I loved the chicken dishes, especially the Chicken Makhani! The Saag was good but not quite the same level as Woodlands, my personal favorite in town. Pros: Service, freshness, and flavor of food were all high points! Cons: The atmosphere leaves a little something to be desired. Overall: I’ll be back. Oh yes, I’ll be back.

I was contacted by the owner and asked if I could come back to retry their food. I I took it up and was BLOWNAWAY!!! The food the second time was fantastic. I had the salmon tikka masala and my gf had the okra curry, both dishes were very flavorful and delicious, just the way I like my Indian food to be. We got some garlic naan which was very buttery, warm and fresh. And we both ordered the mango lassi which was also something special. The staff were very apologetic about our prior experience and definitely more than made up for it with top class service + a delicious meal. Changing my rating to 5 very well deserved stars!

Amazing! The service was divine but it was the food that was superfluous! I loved it so much. Everything was perfect! I can’t tell you how wonderful my experience was for dinner! The best Indian food I’ve ever had any place. As a matter of fact, it was the best meal in general that I have had in a very long time. Plus it’s not expensive although the quality is!

This is hands down my favorite Indian restaurant in Nashville. The service is friendly, helpful with questions and suggestions and just overall enjoyable. The food is phenomenal. Everything I’ve had is spiced perfectly and just a taste experience that in my opinion can’t be beat. I typically order the chicken tikka masala, side of garlic naan and saag paneer. Delicious.

I want to thank the Best of India for the handling of my issue. It was a misunderstanding by one of their employees on how the coupons worked. They absolutely have the best Indian food at a great price. I have been going there for years. I’m so happy we were able to work this out. Thank you Best of India.

Mediocre Indian. I had high hopes for this place since it is maybe 5 minutes down the road from where I live. And honestly if the service was better I would probably be ordering takeout a couple times a week. My two experiences with weren’t the worst ever, but I was disappointed. The first time I ordered Vindaloo curry and garlic naan. I had purchased their $ 6 for $ 10. When I got to the restaurant the man at the door said I could not use the coupon because what I ordered what not a dinner entrée. I left after getting my food a little angry because I had read the fine print on the voucher and it said nothing about ordering a dinner entrée. The food was decent. I was a big fan of the garlic naan. The vindaloo sauce, however, was just ok. It definitely seemed less authentic that other Indian places I have had in the Nashville area that are in the same price range. And less fresh somehow. The second time, I thought I had everything down. I ordered vegetable curry extra hot with garlic naan. Thinking this time that I would definitely be able to use that coupon I purchased. When I arrived to pick up my order the same gentleman was at the door. He almost didn’t honor my coupon this time. I don’t know what the issue was other than he didn’t seem to want to give me this discount. Reluctantly he honored it saying he would«this time». Frustrated, I left and haven’t been back since. If you’re going to have a Unilocal offer, be more detailed in your description or don’t have one. That’s frustrating for people who are trying to score a deal while trying a new restaurant.

Just fantastic. Stopped in for the lunch buffet today and thoroughly enjoyed it. The price was right(7.99 weekday) and the food was delightful. The chicken is cooked perfectly and the naan was made fresh immediately when I arrived. Service was friendly and personable. I’ll definitely be back and can’t wait to bring friends.

Wasn’t sure want to expect before I got there… but what did I find when I arrived? Well, on a side note, I suppose that’s the whole point of writing reviews, right? And then really, this entire paragraph is completely pointless. Anyway, I digress… I found a fully stocked buffet. Whenever any item reached the bottom, it was refilled or replaced immediately. I was especially concerned about this with the naan because I a self-confessed naan junkie. Everything, I repeat, EVERYTHING that I tried(and I tried everything) was delicious! Service was prompt and extremely attentive. My water was refilled quickly and often. Ambiance is not really much. It’s very plain with boring low-scale decorations. However, the interior is surprisingly spacious and you don’t feel crowded or rushed. When you are done with your meal, just go to the front register to checkout. I am a fan of this because you don’t have to ask for or wait for your check. Quick lunch that leaves you satisfied for only $ 7.99! I will definitely be back!

I went to Best of India with a friend because she had an Entertainment Book coupon. The food was really good. I ordered the Chicken Curry medium and my friend ordered Chicken Tikka Masala. The flavor was excellent and the presentation was lovely. We had wonderful, attentive service. You can see their passion for good food and good service. I can’t wait to go back and tell my friends!

This is a little place, tucked into a strip mall. Easy to miss if you are not watching for it. That being said, we headed over to this area to pick up some ethnic food. They had a buffet, which is unusual for a Sunday. The price was only 7.99. I had a delicious black chai tea with it. The buffet had a few nice offerings on it. Not extensive but plenty variety and a great lunch. The food had a bit of a kick to it but not too crazy that I couldn’t handle it. Everything I tried was delicious. No review for the service, since it was a buffet service but they did get our drinks to us quick ;) Bottom line. I would go again if I was in the area.

The staff was nice and helpful. Also if you think«mild» spicy ness is not hot, you’re wrong but sooooo good. All their food was delicious and great naan. Vegetable samosas is really great with the sause! Would always recommend

Not ground breaking or amazing per say but it’s damn good Indian food and you can’t beat the value of the lunch buffet. Just as good as sitar and much cheaper. I can’t stop coming here.

After 3 visits I’m giving Best of India the coveted 5 star review. The best part of it… they deliver! The buffet never disappoints. The chicken curry is seriously the bomb, but get any of their veggie dishes(cabbage, okra, creamed spinach) and you’ll be blown away too. I also love that they serve papadm(sp?) the crispy large chip like thing that I’ve never seen on a buffet before. So good. The take out is on point as well. While you have to order at least $ 20.00 worth of food, it’s well worth it for the amazing Indian feast you get delivered to your door and can eat on for days. This place is my go-to Indian food restaurant! Sitar, take note. Also, Unilocal needs to be updated, they are open on Sunday!

The restaurant is a hole in Aaron’s wall… lol Ok, it’s really just next to Aaron’s and they share a parking lot… The food and service was 5 stars but the décor and lighting is lacking. I like to see what I’m eating and the lighting during lunch time was just not there. I don’t eat Indian food on a regular basis but this place was actually pretty wonderful. Lunch buffet was $ 7.99 and not crowded at all. On a Tuesday, they had about 6 people in there. Between this place and Sitar — I’m definitely picking Best of India!
