Mirage Banquet Halls

It’s about time I found a nice, new, & modern looking venue to have Indian parties at… too bad it’s so far away from home.
I came to Mirage Banquet Hall over the weekend to attend a reception. The interior itself was amazing. I can’t really compare it to any of the halls in the Bay Area (we have a lot of catching up to do).
The food which was also from Mirage was pretty decent. Aside from the beautiful arrangement, my main complaint had to be the appetizers; they were uncooked. the fish pakoray were uncooked and you could see the wet batter inside. Gross.
The other negative about the hall was there was no air conditioning/​breeze inside. The only time I got some whiff of air was when the DJs’ were spraying CO2.

We haven’t decided to host our event here YET, but when we met with Raj he was so nice. Very professional and informative. He hosted us as if we were family. We were talking prices, and going over what was included in that price while his staff began serving us appetizers and chai tea. I was very impressed at the attention to detail. He remembered our names and was very polite to our children. The facility is beautiful and close to our house. The food and desserts that we ate were delicious. I have no complaints. I will write another review if/​once we host our event. My only complaint is that they don’t accept credit cards.

2stars are solely for the beautiful chandeliers in the largest hall they were gorgeous and brought detail to my cousins wedding. The rest of the no stars was for the staff and quality. Some of the table covers and napkins were stained and offset the beautifulness of my cousins table pieces. One toilet in the ladies room was broken. Which made the bathroom have a stench when walking by it or your in the stall next to it. And now with the staff… the group of maybe «Persian» boys who were passing out plates and pitchers of waters and sodas, etc… were very un-​professional they were very touchy-​feely amongst each other more so when the lights dimmed they were dancing amongst eachother groping eachother around their station or the kitchen entrance/​exit area. I even caught one of them kissing the other on his back neck when going to the bathroom. I just find that wrong and tasteless! Your sexual preference I could careless but the way they behaved at a worked paid event is horrendous! And it was throughout the night not just a few incidents! Also by 930 they decided to bus all the tables glasses water and Soda pitchers off the tables when large groups were dancing, mind you the event was paid up to 1am! We returned from dancing to find nothing left on our tables even our bar drinks we had just gotten! Other tables were annoyed as well! When approached all they could say is sorry. I will not recommend this hall because of this! Oh don’t have them cater it also. Their food was horrible

We held our annual networking mixer at Mirage tonight, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Raj, the owner, and his staff did a phenomenal job for us. The hall looked beautiful and the food was the best Indian food I’ve ever tasted with generous portions. The next time you want to host any kind of party, this is the place to do it! A huge thanks to everyone at Mirage who helped make our event one of the best we’ve ever hosted!

HORRIBLE PEOPLE! Raja is who I spoke to and he was extremely rude! He stereotyped my ethnicity and made general comments on my ethnic people simply because of one experience with a group of people who rented his venue. I was greatly offended when he continued with his rant (which had nothing to do with me as I was simply inquiring and was unprofessional since it made no sense why he brought it up except because of my ethnicity) by saying «they trashed my place and I don’t even know if I want to rent my place out any more to (my ethnicity) people». I am appalled at how disgusting this particular individual who represents this business is! Not interested in spending any of my money on any business that treats people in a particular way based on their ethnicity. I won’t be taking this lightly especially since it’s unprofessional and completely unrelated to me. My group isn’t even bringing alcohol so go see a therapist for your frustrations instead of taking it out on potential customers (not anymore)! Ridiculous!

The name is very appropriate. The Service, flavor of food, basic customer service is all a Mirage. Worst Indian food ever. We waited for over an hour. (There were only 1 other set of customers with 3 people) Tandori chicken was undercooked, Lamb Biryani was overcooked, and they messed up our order as well.
The Lamb curry was good, hence the 1 star.
There are much better place to eat indian food in sacramento!

I always feel extremely fortunate when I find something great that I wasn’t expecting. That’s how the mirage banquet hall restaurant makes me feel. I was looking for an Indian buffet in sacramento because I fell in love with one in SF called naan and curry. Anyway when I came across The Mirage I was excited. The first visit there I had missed the buffet which is served until 230 I believe. so I ordered a dinner plate with my girlfriend because I didn’t want to go out searching for another buffet. It was great! The service was amazing, the staff was very friendly and attentive. I left there knowing I would return.
Today I made it on time for their lunch buffet and it was all that I had imagined. I was greeted outside by Raj who is a co owner and he led us inside and right to the buffet. There was an assortment of curry dishes and differently prepared chicken and their garlic naan makes me drool just thinking about it! They also have a small salad bar set up but I didn’t want to waste any stomach room on veggies after seeing the other food.
Surprisingly enough this place hasn’t been crowded either time that I went. Raj told me that they are a banquet hall and do most of they’re business hosting events, and for that reason also stopped serving dinner because sometimes they would host an event and not have the room for restaurant purposes. Either way I’m happy that I found this place and know I will return over and over again!

Food was delicious and came out quickly — very important when trying to dine with a sleeping newborn. Waitress was very friendly and quick with water refills. Tried this new restaurant because of a groupon only but will definitely be back!
Only downside was the strange layout of the restaurant. Felt cold and impersonal dining in a small part of a very large room that was only partially in use.

The food here is delicious and the Ambiance is just awesome! So far it’s the best service experience we have had of all the Indian restaurants that we have tried. The service was fine when we were there. I understand the criticism of its priceless.

The food was good but the service was AWFUL! We went on a Friday evening (about a month ago) and it was not very crowded. The waiter spoke little English and brought only one of the dishes (my friend and I ordered the same thing), and then argued with us, saying we only asked for one order. He also did not bring the appetizer, nor our drinks, and each time he argued with us about whether we had ordered them. Bad, bad approach to customer service.

We went today for dinner. Maybe because it is a Sunday, but the restaurant was empty, with a few employees (no other customers) enjoying the buffet. We decided to go for the dinner buffet since they let us use the groupon towards it. The buffet was 15 $ pp, and the options available were very limited.
Some of the better items available were butter chicken, saag paneer and gulab jamun. But wouldn’t pay 15 $ again for a buffet if not for a groupon.

What an incredible find. Though primarily a banquet hall, this palatial facility also has a fine restaurant. Being very critical of Americanized Indian cuisine, the flavors in our dishes were quite a surprise. From the potato and cauliflower dish to our sagwala lamb, the incredibly tasty and unique spices were a treat to the palate.
If you are a foodie for a taste for top notch Indian Cuisine… this is your place!

Visited this restaurant last Saturday on a tip from a friend that had told me they offered all you can eat lunch and dinner buffet. Well towards out the night before was the last night for the all you can eat dinner. Kind of a let down but I was ready for some Indian food and wasn’t going to drive to another place. The dinner may have been a la carte but it was still a lot of food and delicious! The place is beautiful and enormous. Everything is brand new. The price is very reasonable for the food quality and amount. Our check was actually $ 5-​$ 6 cheaper than a well known Indian restaurant in midtown. This has definitely become one of my regular Indian spots!
The owner was even so nice as to lend my friend his glass so that he could see the menu! Everyone was very nice and attentive.
Tip: They are closed on Mondays and they do serve the all you can eat lunch every day, including weekends

I came here with my love for lunch for $ 9.99/person. I thought it was worth it for the food because you get to try more than one dish unlike other Indian cuisine restaurants, which you would pay more for. We really enjoyed the food and the awesome service. The manager Raja came and greeted us and gave me the chai tea I ordered as a complimentary! How cool was that? The waitress and waiter were very tentative and friendly.
My favorite dish would have to be the mixed vegetables. My love loved the garlic naan so much that we ordered 1 batch to go for around $ 5.
So I have to admit, the food station looked small and out of place (including the receptionist desk) which needs a lot of improvement on, but in all, decent food and service.
Also check out the banquet room. It’s a very nice set up with the sparkling chandeliers.

Nice food. made fresh. served hot and in the point with spiciness. Owner is caring… service is good.
Ill go back again.

I recently came in with my non-​Indian office staff and was simply amazed by the flavorful food. You can tell right away that the food is fresh. The tandoori chicken is moist (not dry), the naan are crunchy, and the daals contain the right amount of spices. Unfortunately most local restaurants are getting into the practice of recycling food from the night before and it is apparent in their quality.
What’s also surprising is the humility and great customer service the owners show to their customers. The venue is beautiful and I look forward to celebrating our family parties in their big hall.

The food is yummy especially the curry (chicken, lamb, goat) and the garlic naan. The restaurant is so beautiful making me feel like I am walking into an Indian Palace. Very spacious good for groups or for lovers. I am staring at the chandeliers right now so pretty. $ 14.99/person for the buffet after 5pm.

Great tasting Indian food. The food is fresh with perfect blend of spices. So far it’s the best service experience we have had of all the Indian restaurants that we have tried.
In addition the décor is highly elegant.
Must try! I recommend!

The décor alone desires 5 stars. It’s adorn with fancy glitz and glitter, from the lovely chandeliers, suede upholstery with rhinestone accents to granite floor with golden accents. It’s rather breath-​taking and pictures don’t do it justice (however I will be posting some soon).
As for the food I’m knocking it down ½−1 star, given we came at the butt end of the lunch buffet time. I’m definitely going to come back to give it another try. I was so amped by the décor that I was expecting more from their food. Sadly, I had better food at Shalimar (Man oh man, if only we could combine Shalimar’s food with their décor). I did enjoy their goat curry, but it was rather fatty. For the size of the dinning floor I was expected a larger buffet.
I talked to the owner and he’s planning on making a menu soon and having a full bar. I’m definitely looking forward to that! He also let me check out the banquet hall and MAN did I wish I had 8k to rent it out, it had amazing lights and etc.
I suggest you come here just to enjoy the place before and after they settle in. I hope this place stays! You wouldn’t expect this place off of El Camino Ave.

Hello. My husband and I aren’t huge fans of Indian cuisine but we live in the neighborhood and believe in supporting local enterprises so we gave it a try.
It met my expectations in that it was a bunch of food that I don’t particularly care for. Even I found some things I liked.
My husband enjoyed it a lot and says he will go back. He particularly liked the goat dishes. He had never eaten goat before and thought it was quite good. He also enjoyed the curried dishes.
Neither one of us is familiar enough with Indian Cuisine to give a blow-​by-​blow account of the dishes and the favors. Suffice it to say that we think that if you are not familiar with Indian food and want to give it a try, this clean and friendly place is as good a place as any to do so.
The staff was nice and the banquet hall in back is really beautiful.
