"Really tired of how cheap this place is in everything but the prices they charge. Used to order a lot of takeout from here but they've price gouged so much since covid their prices are now just unreasonable. And last several orders they've consistently cheaped out in different ways. Straw that broke the camel's back for me was in my last order, an order of 4 dishes, they for whatever absurd reason insisted on stuffing everything into one single medium sized paper bag. My order would not have fit in said paper bag. Instead of using 2 bags or a bigger bag...they squeezed everything they could inside that bag and left out anything they couldn't fit. For that reason, my order was missing a rice that was supposed to be included with one of the meals, so one of my family members was left with spicy chicken with no rice to cool their tongue off and balance the meal. Also, one of the masala dishes exploded because everything was squeezed in so tight, which left a stain on our doormat we've now had to replace (from the delivery being placed there), and one of my family members only had half a dish we paid full [over]price for. It's crazy to me how they can raise their prices so much and yet do things like this. I mean, you couldn't afford a $0.0001 paper bag?? They've done a lot of other cheap stuff too, but that would make this a much longer review than it already is. I'm done with this place. Never going back."

"As usual, we were asked to wait, and we settled into the waiting area. After 30 minutes, I inquired with the woman at the counter and discovered that our name had been crossed off the list. When I asked about it, she was unreasonably rude, claiming she had called us four times, which wasn’t true since we were seated just outside. Instead of offering an apology or seating us when the next opportunity arose, her demeanor was aggressive and dismissive. Perhaps she was having a bad day, but if that’s the case, she shouldn’t be working at the front desk. Once we finally sat down for our lunch, the food was just average, and many of the food stations were empty. There was a noticeable delay in refilling the dishes, and it was particularly challenging to get the dosa and uttapam, as the kitchen seemed overwhelmed. Overall, the kitchen couldn’t keep up with the volume of customers, leading to a disappointing experience. We voiced our concerns to the staff at the front counter regarding the shortage of food, but rather than addressing our complaints or offering assistance, they bluntly acknowledged the slow service and suggested that if we were unhappy, we shouldn't pay for the buffet. Given their popularity and longevity, they should be better equipped to manage the crowd and kitchen efficiently. Ultimately, we left feeling unsatisfied. The food was merely okay, and I can't see myself returning anytime soon. However, as a small consolation, the owner graciously charged us for only one person instead of two on our way out, which was the only redeeming aspect of the visit."

"Driving back home from Hartford to the Boston area, my wife searched Google for a place to eat off I 84, and Flavors of Nawab was her excellent choice. The reviews were a little overwhelmingly positive, which left us a little suspicious: Did they hire an unscrupulous firm to make up reviews? Turns out, it's just that good.The food and service are top notch. Everything we ordered was a little different from other places, in the way that every family has their own recipes, their own take on classic dishes. But more importantly, everything was delicious.My wife ordered the mutton korma, and we shared the pani puri appetizer, palak paneer, and their home made mint lime drink, all wonderful. Some people might be a little hesitant about the thin sauce that comes with the pani puri: it smells a little sulfurous, but don't be discouraged. It tastes fantastic.The acid from the lime and the cooling from the mint helped with the spiciness, but even without that, the flavors would have kept me digging in. The entrées alone would have earned the 5 star rating, but it all worked so perfectly together.Dessert was something I had never tried: falooda with ice cream. The high quality but straightforward Ice cream with a red syrup was on top of a delicious pudding with, I think, noodles mixed in! Sounds weird to this American, but it was great, and made a nice pairing, different textures, different temperatures, different flavors...And if all this wasn't enough, as we were driving away, they chased us down... my wife had left her purse, and they sprinted across their parking lot to make sure we didn't drive off!We pass this way frequently, driving from the Boston area to points south and west, and I look forward to trying more of their menu.There is no aspect of this place that is anything other that fabulous.TL:DR Eat here. It's really good.Vegetarian options: They have an excellent assortment of vegetarian options (vegan, I'm not so sure about .Kid friendliness: They have a nice, boring kids menu French fries, chicken tenders, and the like to satisfy boring but picky kids' palates, while the parents can get something different and lovely. For the more adventurous kids, they also can adjust the spice levels, so you don't melt your children's faces off. :"
