Minerva

Order was incorrect — called and they said they would bring the missing item.
No return phone call, no missing item delivered. Was happy to let them correct their error, but they chose not to, so here we are posting a review.

I was not very happy with the customer service. They told me I was getting a delivery that I placed before they were closed and waited 30 minutes later to actually tell me that they were not going to deliver my food. They took my money and said they will give it back in 2 – 5 business days. :(

Worst food ever… I went on my friends insist. firstly ordered dosa, the sambar chutenys and dosa each were the worst I ever tried. Later we ordered paneer makhani, and chicken tikka masala. The taste and color of the food was worst. even the quantity for what you pay is less. if you are planning to go to eat at this place and if u are reading my review. please please don’t go at this place this is a advice which u should definitely take if u want to save urself from regret.

Went here yesterday for lunch. The buffet is very cheap but you get what you pay for. The selections are limited. The drink service is decent. The lettuce was old and wilted. The food is well cooked but some of it was over seasoned. I realize some Indian food is particularly salty on purpose but this was over the top. There was no fresh fruit for dessert. As we were leaving, I observed 3 cockroaches climbing all over the buffet line so I’m sure there were more underneath and in the kitchen. I probably won’t go back here. My $ 12 is better spent elsewhere.

Great price for a delicious buffet. Had a variety of options, so no complaint there. Taking away a star, though, since I witnessed a few bugs crawling up the walls during the meal. Not the most appetizing when it’s an open buffet.

This used to be my favorite place to eat. After being away for awhile, we decided to go for a very special dinner. When we went into the restaurant, we thought it was odd that we were the only customers on a Saturday evening. When the food arrived, we understood why. The restaurant has obviously changed management. They used to use only white meat in their Tandoori chicken. This time, it was all dark pieces and it was just baked chicken legs and thighs, not the traditional Tandoori process like before. In their other dishes, it was all small chunks of some processed chicken. Instead of using traditional Indian condiments, they gave us ketchup for our spinach pakora. In all, I’m was deeply disappointed.

I had food delivered to a hotel. No utensils or plates were sent. One piece of naan bread and very bland food. This was a $ 33 meal for one with delivery charge and it was thrown away to go eat in the Hyatt restaurant.

I give this place a 1 star. There mixed grill was awful. I think it was a left over from there lunch buffet. I will never eat there again.

It was okay, nothing amazing. The food was lower quality and not so hot and there weren’t too many options. I’ve had the much better Indian food before.

It used to be good now they are serving nothing but Trash Food.
If you go to Buffet you have to wait for 20 – 30 mins to get dishes prepared. we thought they are ordering food from other restaurant and getting it.
My Suggestion Don’t ever go. u can try MacD they had better food for $ 1 atleast.
We asked for Indian Beers as they kept in show case but he said no Beers but why there are displayed. he said Empty Bottles. First restaurant keeping empty beer bottles in show case.

wow 2 hours for delivery when you live 7 minutes away! Never again! Food is good which is why it’s not getting 1 star

I came here a few times for a quick lunch buffet. sad to say that I found a stink bug/​small roach in my food last time I went there. they comped our lunch but it was so disturbing that I can’t go back. I like that they have dosas and the food prior to that I had no complaints about, good variety, etc. but the last visit left me with serious doubts about their sanitation.

Food was really good. Order was served pretty quickly. We liked goat curry and malai kauftha very much. Overall good food was good and not too spicy

Went for the lunch buffet today. The food is good — not nearly as spicy as most Indian places I’ve enjoyed, but at $ 11.61 for lunch, it’s well-​priced and the options are plentiful. Stars were deducted for the cleanliness of the place. There were food stains on my white tablecloth, and I’m not sure how old they were. My main comment, however, was the wide amount of BUGS I saw crawling on and into the walls and along the floor. Once I saw how many large bugs were scurrying about, I lost my appetite and started to doubt the cleanliness of the kitchen. I don’t think I can return again for this reason.

Just no. Recent visited this restaurant on an American Holiday. It was terrible. Usually buffets stay busy on American holidays, this place was a ghost town. Food was cold and dry. If you read my Unilocal I go to Indian buffets alot. I will be sure to skip this particular one. its bad because the other location is generally pretty good. This day, the manager was chasing people away saying they will re open at 530 for dinner. I guess they are too busy making money at there other location to pay attention to this one. Skip this trip.

THE BEST LUNCH BUFFET IN TOWN FOR MILES UPON MILES. Ok I had to make that very clear because I visit quite a few indian buffets on a regular basis. Angeethi and Mehran are too greasy. Paradise flavors all taste almost the same because everything is just about being spicy (Paradise is my second fav still). Harvest of India is NOT worth the drive and so gross and dry… most buffets have 2 good dishes and everyone just goes there and fills up on that.
Minerva has been renovated and I guess the chef has changed or maybe management but all the flavors are intact. They even have idlis and dosas for gluten free options. The tandoori chicken is seasoned properly and moist. I mean seriosuly, if you want an Indian buffet go here.
Only two caveats when I came, the floor is sticky and the chicken in the butter chicken had a kind of old taste. But the sauce, wow. It’s just like when you make it at home and leave the chicken in your fridge 4 days before putting it in your tomato base creamy delicious sauce…

This review is only for buffet…
I’ve tried all the buffet’s in the area and I like very spicy flavorful Indian food not the bland stuff that is served at most Indian restaurants now days to appease Caucasian customers. I always call ahead and ask if they have chicken curry on the buffet because if they do it is excellent for a buffet dish. Comes out spicy though at times can be a little over salty. On Fridays they usually have goat curry which is also pretty good though not as good as Angeethi’s on Saturday and Sundays as Minerva’s goat is extremely boney and not so spicy. So I’m basically giving this place 5 stars for an all you can eat really good chicken curry.

I have been to this place many times for a buffet. The buffet costs around $ 14 (Taxes included).
I felt the items are too repetitive. Almost the same Chilli Chicken, Egg Curry, Goat Curry is served daily. Though Indian dishes can be cooked in a variety of flavors, the food here is very monotonous & dreary. Its good for once. But every other time you go, you are greeted with exactly the same menu, not even changing the position of curry.
$ 14 for such a repetitive and not so great food is completely worthless.

I really love Minerva. It’s in a great location with plenty of parking right near my work. I am obsessed with their Mysore Masala Dosa. It’s flavorful with a hint of spice and fills me up way past full! It’s accompanied by a delicious sambar that I usually save for an afternoon snack. The only issue is they quote their pickup times at 15 – 20 minutes and it’s taken about 45 minutes to an hour each time. They said this is due to having a griddle heated to proper temperature (which is fine; I just wish they would tell me beforehand). They do a nice lunch buffet with great variety if you have the time to eat in. Service is always friendly and I have never tried a dish here that I didn’t like. I’ll return each week, hour wait or not!

Literally just left this place 5minutes ago and I can’t wait Togo back again! Just absolute amazing food and superb food!
The service was awesome! Very attentive and extremely welcoming. My boyfriend and I were both given a delicious mango lassi on the house while we waited for our food, which they matched up to come out after ours apps. This place was very fine dinn dinning service.
Now the food, was just amazing. I had the Shrimp Maharaja and it was so rich and just delicious! I can’t stop thinking about it lol
