"I visited this place a while ago and was pleasantly surprised by their quality of food and service. We (a colleague, my husband and I) went there for lunch and they had buffet. We were seated first in booths and then asked buffet or a la carte. Alot of people go there for lunch buffet simply because they have a good range of vegetarian and non veg options. The food is fresh and hot/warm. They have plain naan bread or tandoori roti and plain rice along atleast 8-10 dishes. I believe there were 4-5 vegetarian options and 3-4 chicken/mutton (I don't think they had fish or shrimp) options. One from each is an appetizer too. The food is a bit buttery and creamy like you would expect from an Indian restaurant. It maybe mellowed for american customers..I'm not big into spicy so this place was perfect. Atleast the buffet items were not spicy. So, if you're craving indian comfort food ..you must try! They also had three dessert options... And I tried all their desserts. Gulab jamun and halwa are much better than if you see anything fusion,like a custard... They also have tea or masala chai I believe. But ofcourse, if you'd like to add anything else, you can order a la carte and adjust the spicy levels. During covid I believe the only option you have is pickup. I have not tried going to the restaurant during this pandemic I have gone repeatedly to the milan store actually to get my groceries (indian) and they pretty much have frozen and ready to eat meals too if you want to store it at home and eat later on. You could experiment at home if you're scared to try something at the restaurant. And ofcourse, ask any questions you'd like if you're uncertain about buying. The interiors are nice and clean and the servers/hosts speak English, so do not hesitate to enter and ask questions regarding food. There is plenty of parking outside and no wifi inside. I would give the food 4 stars, interiors 3.5 stars and service 4 stars. Easy way to locate is there is a food truck with lots of graphics standing right outside the grocery store... And if not, then it's opposite to the plaza that has cold stone. Hope you can try and enjoy indian food!"

"I 've never liked Hacienda but my girlfriend does. So I decided to take a chance once more. Well horrible choice on my part. We sat down and got menus and chips. Then waited 15 mins. The server comes up just starts spewing what you want I 'm sure you know what you want after waiting so long. So we gave him a drink order and said we 'd order food after drinks. 35 mins pass. We have no water. No drinks. My girlfriend goes up to the bar and gets water.. After another server asked if we were being helped. I said well no idea where our server is but my girlfriend just got us water. We then have another waitress step up and take our drink orders and food. Our server stops by again and apologizes and says he 'll get those. Let 's say this was the theme for the night and the only thing he accomplished was wasting our time and getting basically tasteless food that wasn 't even right. We spent 2 hours there and saw two other tables get served with food and drinks. Leave and others arrived at that time. To even get our ticket we had to stand up and tell another server we wanted to leave. Which then our server gave us and the check back. Which was all he did. I understand people get busy. I understand low staff. But he had a table of 11 and us from what it looked like. If you can 't handle the table for 2 maybe you should hand it off. Because everyone else did your job. Which just cemented the fact that i still hate hacienda and their food. But hey kudos to the wait staff that actually helped us and apologized."
