I took my friend to a midweek lunch here. The parking was easy because it has its own lot. We ordered the buffet and were pleased to find out. they had many vegetarian and vegan choices. I loved the fact that I could try so many different dishes for one price. Everything was delicious. I would definitely come back for the buffet. The service was wonderful.

The food at Lotus is INCREDIBLE even after all these years in business. A lovely restaurant for a lunch buffet, intimate dinner or catered event. They catered my New Year's Eve party and two years ago, my 60th birthday party. They are flexible with dietary restrictions and spiciness factor. This family owned restaurant deserves your patronage. It's delicious-ness!!

My wife and I haven't dined here in 5 years. It was always really good, but it was really great tonight. I guess sometimes a restaurant gets even better with practice. The flavors were incredibly rich and yet subtle. The service was very nice - except that we changed our minds about the appetizer a few seconds after saying what we wanted and the waiter said that he had already sent it (electronically) to the kitchen. I wondered why he was making that my problem since the assumption in every restaurant I have ever eaten in is the order isn't final until all the ordering is done... but he caught himself and said he would change it. And he did. So, not a big deal. The ambiance is sumptuous in a very Indian style with Idian music. Quite nice and comfortable.

We had a last minute decision to grab dinner and decided on this place. I was so pleasantly surprised by all the gluten free options! I couldn't believe they had GF samosas as well as GF Garlic Naan and GF regular naan. The restaurant itself is decorated really nicely and is pretty large. We also noticed there is an entrance to an Indian grocery store within the restaurant and will have to check that out next time! Service was pretty fast too.

I am impressed with the look of Lotus. The interiors are beautifully designed. The expansive restaurant is inviting to the visitor. It has been years since I dined inside but have been a regular in my take out ordering and shopping at the adjoining store.

Talk about comfort food. Pre-pandemic we loved going to Indian buffets (like Lotus), and when they shut down we - particularly my parents - were devastated. Dad couldn't figure out what to order a la carte! Anyway, when I told him Lotus' buffet was back he said we had to go there the NEXT DAY! So we did, and wow, the new location is just amazing, incredibly warm, staff is so happy to have you there, and the food is better than ever. I love being able to sample 7-8 dishes and then come back for what I want more of (hint: Tandoori Chicken). I was sated. Yes, that's the word. Sated. I even had one of those little donut hole-in-honey things (can't remember the name) for dessert! Everyone was so thankful and gracious just that we were there! Oh, and the market next door - we came home with armfulls of delicacies that we can enjoy when we can't get there in person! I can't recommend enough.
