    Very reasonably priced and tasty lunch buffet served from 12:00 to 2:30pm in the afternoon. The buffet is self-service but the staff are friendly and professional with their table service.

    We love eating here. The food is always fresh, hot, and incredibly consistent. I usually get the chicken tikka masala at a level 7 and my family gets the vindaloo or chicken tikka. It’s always perfect. The garlic naan is also another favorite along with the samosas. There are bunch of other menu options, but we gravitate to these choices.

    My wife and I hadn’t ate at People’s in years and we decided to order food from them last night. Everything was delicious. However, my second bite of Chicken Tikka Masala I found a piece of metal wire in my food. It looked like it was maybe originally the wire inside a twist tie for food packaging? Unpleasant. Very unpleasant. Two inch piece of wire floating around inside my mouth with a bite of food. Taste of the food was great, quality of the produce itself seems good. But I spent the rest of my dinner poking through my food, slowly chewing, making sure I wasn’t going to come up with anymore metal in my mouth. I know it was an accident, but it’s like getting sick after eating something specific, it’s hard to eat that food again.
