I tried several dishes, hoping to find at least one that was decent, but it seems the owners believe that more food on the plate equates to better taste, which is a big misunderstanding.

This restaurant has quickly become one of my top three favorites among all the restaurants and buffets I’ve tried. The calm atmosphere, attentive staff, and the delicious array of dishes to choose from all contributed to a fantastic experience. It’s simply delightful!

Beware: Desi zayka Andhra Cafe ...... Today's lunch buffet was ok food lacks flavors.. The tandoori chicken was not cooked properly, the dessert Gulab jamun was very hard (the jamuns were not soaked in the syrup there were no puris or naans in the trays. Would not recommend this place
