Grill of India

Very tasty food. My only problem with The Grill is every time (and I literally mean EVERY TIME) I go there to eat, a waiter comes out with the Windex bottle and sprays the tables down right next to me while I’m trying to enjoy my food. The aroma of the heavily scented chemicals in Windex ruins my meal. It turns my my mushroom masala (which is great) into Windex masala (which is not.) Today I had a waiter come out and spray the tables on both sides of me, and literally two minutes later, a different waiter came out and sprayed those same tables again! ARGH!!! PLEASE STOP WITH THE WINDEX ALREADY!!! I know I can’t be the only one that is bothered by this? Please, use a mixture of white vinegar and water. It will be cheaper, work better and not smell so vulgar! Otherwise, I love this place… I would give them 5 stars if I didn’t constantly have to deal with the Windex situation, and if the bathrooms were cleaner.

Not great place for indian food, taste is very bad, and the cost is very high compare to other indian restaurants.

Food and service were nauseating. Waited for 20 minutes for the check with no attention. Water is nasty tap water and I suspect my fish as being low quailty frozen salmon as it was not pleasant. Hope to see this joint improve although the vibe won’t bring me back.

Not the absolute greatest but it’s worth the drive from Saginaw, far better and cheaper than the options up here. Very generous with the appetizer portions, good service, no real complaints.

Pretty bad place to taste Indian food. There was a stone in the curry, the gulab jamun was hard, yogurt was sour. Not going back.

Excellent foods and excellent customer service! It is guaranteed that you will leave full.

I love the lunch buffet but I have a new rule that I limit my visits to once a week! Love the mushroom masala and dal curry can’t be beat. Easy to reach location. Great service. It is so wonderful to have all the vegetarian options!

Good food & service. The buffet has excellent options. The lamb vindaloo was okay. it could use a little more taste. The level of spiciness was good. The rice was fresh and fluffy. The nan could’ve been just a little crispier.

Do not use the GoI website as a point of reference. They do not keep it updated. instead go to their facebook page. They have an new menu with price updates, and their hours are different.

The buffet on the weekend is perfect. The bread is delicious and the pakora is even better. Love going to the buffet and getting a bit of everything.

What is not good at Grill of India? Practically nothing. I have been here several times and not a single thing I have ordered is anywhere near bad. I have been here for their lunch buffet several times and regular dine in dinner countless times. During lunch buffet hours, I would suggest asking the waiters for a fresh batch of naan. It’s the best when it is first made. My friend and I would always start out with the chilly paneer as an appetizer and then choose two dishes to share. We love their chicken biryani (the lamb one is also really good). A new favorite is also the chicken cyclone, though it’s more on the spicy side. The classic chicken tikka masala is delicious and I just absolutely love it with the rice and naan. The buffet definitely gives you a chance to try a variety of different dishes off their menu, and their mushroom masala is actually really good (if you like mushrooms). They offer two different rice dishes in the buffet. I did get a chance to try their goat curry too, and, it really had a taste to it that I thoroughly enjoyed, so I would say that would probably be my favorite from their buffet hours. Waiters are super friendly and always make good suggestions. I would have to say that the only downside is that this place is a little on the pricier side, though you do get a lot for one order. Appetizers range almost just as high as an entrée dish, which usually, you would think it’s slightly cheaper. All in all, probably one of my favorite dine in places in Flint.

I seriously have few confusions of this place:
1. Having hard time differentiating their tomato soup to the channa masala cuz channa masala is funnier than the soup!
2. Having difficulty determining whether their so called tandoori chicken is microwaved

I so didn’t see this place coming. I’ve passed it a hundred times over the years while going to sagano but I’ll be sure to stop in more often now that I know about this gem!
We had the assorted breads to start and damn were they good, I’d have eaten more if I wasn’t worried about having room for dinner.
For my main course I had the shrimp vindaloo. This stuff was to die for. Just the right amount of heat and flavor. The shrimp wasn’t overcooked like most place do and rice was great.
The only thing that could have been better was the service. Although not bad it was just awkward. That could have been because of language barriers but still it was uncomfortable whenever the waiter came over because he tried to make up for the awkwardness by hovering.
Anyway if you haven’t yet you have to try this place it’s great!

I liked this place. The dishes I tried had a great balance of heat and flavor. I started with the tomato soup, which was fragrant and had a mild spicy heat to it. It was a great way to warm up from the rain and introduction to the rest of the meal.
For my main meal I had the lamb biryani dish with medium spice. It was very good and the portion was really generous. I couldn’t finish it all. The lamb, spices and heat level came together exceptionally well. The lamb was not fatty or dried out but tender and cooked very consistently throughout the dish. The spices brought the flavors together and I’m ready to experiment with a higher level of heat next time.

Oh so good. Did not expect it to be so good; we were driving thru Flint and took a chance. We ordered goat korma, chicken makhni and navratan korma. All were superb! Will return each time we drive through here.

Very nice place. Reasonably priced and amount of food per plate was enough for us to box at least half of it and take it home with us!
We were returning late from Birch Run Outlet Mall and found this Indian place one of the very few around which were open till 10 pm at night.
Being an Indian myself, I can attest that the food was very good! We decided to go for medium spicy, so not so sure how exotic the ‘Very Spicy’ option would have been. Medium was very palatable. Having lived in the US for a few years now, I personally like only medium spicy food.
A nice quiet place, good for families with kids as well as couples. Service is courteous and prompt. Plenty of parking place as well.
Definitely recommend!

Whatever I ate in this restaurant, I liked. Service and friendliness is wonderful. Prices are better than any comparable restaurant.
Absolutely the quietest and most spacious
This is a hidden treasure in Flint.

I give it a 4.5
We got goat & chicken curry. We liked them both.
I think it’s a good sign when Indian people are always eating here, that means it’s authentic!
Can’t wait to go back.

I love the grill of india. finding ethnic food in flint seems to be a challenge and i feel like grill of india has it on lock down. i’ve ordered many things and never been unsatisfied. as others have said, it’s more of southern indian cuisine, which suits me just fine since this means there is more fish on the menu. I love their naan bread, and all the chutneys. I’ve taken many people here and all have been pleased, even those who are way outside their comfort zone. I wish there was a place in grand rapids serving such well done southern indian cuisine!
oh, and even though i don’t rate based on service, the service here is exceptional. everyone is always very nice and accomidating even when we’ve come in rather late.

Pretty good addition to the Flint Township area! Keep in mind that I haven’t been to many Indian joints around the Flint area, but this place is pretty solid. Having being accustomed to more Northern style Indian cooking, I’d say that Grill of India’s cuisine errs more on the Southern style and Husband even said, «a bit of Pakistani influence.»
We didn’t dine in, but the food portions were pretty generous during dinner hours. I was only surprised that they do not give you naan with your meal. At least, for to go orders, which I thought was odd. The waiter told me that it would cost an extra $ 1.50 per piece, and when I saw the size of the pieces, I immediately thought, «Are you nuts?» Kindly, I passed, but I wonder how come nobody else mentioned this? I am only guessing that if you dine in, you are given complimentary naan. I’ll have to try next time.
We ordered their Saag Paneer ($ 8.95), which is pretty much like Palak Paneer, instead that the flavor profile is less bitter due to the fact that it is a mixture of greens, not exclusive to spinach. There was far less cream and butter, which was nice, and the consistency was definitely more chunky than creamy. We liked this very much. Portion size was equivalent to a pint.
We also ordered their Vegetable Biryani ($ 9.95), which was fragrant, light, and huge portion. The vegetable mixture consisted of broccoli, zucchini, carrots, mushrooms, and other goodies and was well combined with the fluffy texture of the white basmati rice. A perfect complement with the saag paneer, this biryani provided tons of leftovers for a few days. Definitely worth getting.
I’d be willing to come back again and possibly dine in for both dinner and lunch buffet, so I can see and taste what their naan is like. Prices I feel are pretty reasonable, and still cheaper than Metro Detroit counterparts. So, if you find yourself in the mood for some southern style Indian/​Pakistani food while passing through the Flint area, Grill of India is a decent choice.
Lots of parking, and in the same plaza as Sagano Japanese Bistro off of Corunna and Linden.
