Large buffet in a beautiful setting that gets busy at lunch time. Selection and service is good. The curries/masalas have lots of gravy which I think is important. The spice level is milder than some places but you can adjust to your liking.
Water was filled constantly. Plates were cleared quickly. Mango Lassi and all you can drink fountain was included in buffet price.
Goat was excellent. Paneer was very good. The highlight is the Chaat station. We love making our Pani Puri. This station separates this buffet from others in town. Finish off with Kheer and Gulab Jamun. Delightful!
Good selection, good service all set in an elegant setting. Yumm. Enjoy! -

India 101 produces a pretty epic buffet experience. It will likely be the fanciest Indian buffet experience you've ever had. The restaurant is two stories high (not sure what's on the second floor, banquet hall maybe?) and features 101 buffet items, but more on that later.
I was very excited after grabbing my first plate, immediately loaded it up with chicken biryani as a base, and then proceeded to pile on the goat curry, chicken curry, and chili chicken, and finished with some veggie curries.
If I had to describe the flavors here, I'd say they are very ginger-forward, and they obviously use fresh ginger which makes a huge difference in taste. None of the food was spicy, which worked for some dishes and not so much for others. The chili chicken had decent flavor, but had an off-putting mushy and bready coating on it, which I'm not sure if it was supposed to be crispy or not. The chickpeas and the other veggies were all very good.
Now, I'll admit that I didn't count the number of items, but I'm assuming they include the soft drinks and salad bar items and sauces as part of the 101 count. This is not a big deal as the spread is still impressive, but it wasn't as massive as I'd expected. There were maybe six meat/chicken options and all but one dish had chicken as the base. I would have really loved to see a fish curry.
Normally, I'm not an ambiance forward kind of guy, but in this case India 101 receives an extra star from me for the sleek decor alone. The food is good, but there are better options. For $17 as the weekday buffet price, I don't think I would make India 101 a regular destination. -

The lunch buffet is ALWAYS so fresh and hot! Some of my favorites from the buffet are the butter chicken, aloo gobi, chili chicken, and the lo mein asian noodles. The food is never out, which is sometimes a hassle at other buffets but every time I have gone, they have had plenty of options and are always checking to make sure they aren't empty. This restaurant also has two venue spaces available for rent that are really nice with ample seating and the ability to have this food at your event. They also have mango lassis and soda included in the buffet price. (HOW COOL, RIGHT?!) the seating is extremely nice and it's in a central location surrounded by other food options and office buildings. Happens to be only 15 mins from my home office as well! Staff is super friendly, always have a great time.

Came in for dinner. They have el la carte and buffet for dinner. We opted out for the buffet dinner to get most of the different Indian dishes. They have traditional northern and southern Indian food. The food was plenty and fresh. Loved how the naan was made fresh. What surprised me was the mango dessert and there little snack bar with the little crispy bread, yogurt mix and chick peas. Overall, great food. Service was ok...no smile on there faces, even after saying thank you. They did refill our water even though it took them awhile to refill it.
