  We came for the lunch buffet. They let us sit at 1:30 knowing that the buffet wrapped at 2:30. At 2 :25 some one (not our waiter) came over and asked us how are meal was. Before we could answer he had grabbed our plates and left. He seemed irritated. I understand that we were pushing it but if was such a problem they probably should not have let us sit. The Chicken Vindaloo was fantastic but he stuck his thumb in my Vindaloo before we had finished. Our waiter provided good service.

  Don’t let the outside fool you…this place is delicious and very clean inside. The food is authentic, flavorful and the staff is polite and professional. We ordered the garlic naan, chicken vindaloo, chicken tikka masala and the chicken kabob with mint sauce….OMG….everything was so good. We’ll be back again.

  Delicious meal! We enjoyed the dinner buffet at India House during our New Mexico trip! The interior design was elegant and had a pleasant atmosphere. Their service was excellent; the staff were helpful and attentive. The buffet offered such a wide variety of fresh, delicious and flavorful food that we struggled to limit our choices. Both vegetarians and non-vegetarians can choose from an extensive selection of North-Indian buffet dishes here. I actually prefer their vegetarian options over their meat-based ones. Chana Saag, Aloo Bell Pepper and Dal Makhani were fabulous. I would recommend going here.

  Our favorite place for Indian food in Santa Fe. My favorite dishes are the butter chicken, the curried okra, the samosa chaat, and the malai kofta. The naan is great, too. Each dish tastes unique and delicious. It's such a treat when we get it. The restaurant is also very child friendly - we have always felt so welcome (with a baby or with a toddler). The servers are very nice and professional, and the environment is nice. I only wish it was a little cheaper so I could justify going more often.

  We were visiting Santa Fe with my parents. We had had a hectic day and wanted a hearty Indian meal. I called ahead to inquire, the owner told me that for dine in there’s only buffet option available till 9:30 pm. The buffet was at $27.99 per pax. This is much higher than SF Bay Area buffet rates too btw. We promptly reached by 8:30 and helped ourselves to the buffet. My parents and I are non fussy eaters and always show humility to the staff. To my surprise, before the clock even hit 9 pm, the staff came around some 5 times at our table to take the last of whatever we wanted from the buffet as they were closing. We didn’t argue even though their website and board outside clearly stated the buffet time as 5-9:30 pm. My father, a senior now, loves mughlai food and has been having it his entire life. He pointed out to us that the Tandoori chicken dry was too cold to eat. He said the same to the waiter who replied in nonchalantly that it’s coz the buffet starts at 5pm. My dad then notified the same to the owner, a surd gentleman from Jalandhar. His response completely shocked us to be honest. Said “itni bhi thandi nahi thi chicken.” Translation “the chicken isn’t all too cold.” Further adding “there are two burners under the serving trays. And I can’t do anything about the chicken being cold as that’s the burner’s job.” To be honest, we love to tip generously especially during the festive season but I didn’t want to, neither did Dad, even one bit. At least take the damn feedback, a customer already chose your place and is paying top dollar for mediocre food; we still tipped 18%. I later on realized that the waiting staff barely even served us as it was a buffet. We try a lot of Indian places wherever we go, mainly in the SF Bay Area and LA, and I can speak from experience that hosts and waiting staff is a lot more courteous there compared to India House’s owner. We were excited about the meal as we were super hungry and genuinely feel that one gets that feeling of satisfaction only by eating one’s own food. But this experience rendered us bitter and we definitely do not recommend the dine in experience, especially since the waiting staff keeps circling around our head, and starts shutting everything in front of us to add more pressure. I mean come on! Why say 9:30 if you want to wrap up before customers are even done eating? And on top of that so much argument instead of politely accepting feedback. Dad even stated that since we’re from India we don’t like cold meals; he was like “okay whatever!” Huh! I guess these folks just take advantage of the fact that there are limited Indian food options in the city.
