Sharma's Kitchen

02/16/24- If you don't know they have the buffet again. I wasn't sure if they would bring it back. They have a wide selection of choices both meat and vegetarian.
I enjoyed a little bit of everything. I had my fill of goat curry 🍛 and Gulab jamun dessert.
It's about $25 per person, so I'll have to budget my visits.
Sadly I didn't take too many photos.

This is by far one of the best Indian restaurants I've been to in years. Perfect little hole in the wall. We went for the weekend dinner buffet (which is the only option when the buffet is available). There were so many options. Everything tasted phenomenal and brought back memories of living in India in college. The place was busy and you could tell several families were regulars and knew the owners well. We will absolutely be back.

This is mine and my husband's favorite Indian restaurant by far. The food is amazing, and we are always warmly welcomed!!

The best Indian food I’ve ever had. Everything is so wonderfully spiced and cooked to perfection. I also love the naan! It’s so garlicky and buttery and pairs well with all of the dishes.

The food is so yummy, I really love to take my kids there.
The spicy food is so similar to the homemade Mexican food, the Naan is like our Tortilla, is always been a good experience .

Wasn't expecting such good and authentic Indian food in a small college town, but this place surprised me! The portion size of entrées is big enough for two people. Rotis and naans have butter, so vegans may want to specify their preference. The restaurant was very busy even on a Tuesday evening. There was only one server who did a great job at managing the crowd and giving great service. They call their food 'medium spicy' but it's actually mild for an Indian palate (and my spice tolerance is lower than an average Indian's). Order a spice level higher if you want something really masaledaar and chatpata.

Sharma's is the best Indian restaurant in the area. If you're new to Indian or nervous about trying something new, the buffet style is the way to go. You'll certainly find something you like. They have a huge selection of different things to try and everything is crazy flavorful and perfectly done. If you order items (not from the buffet), you can get them pretty spicy, too. The owner and his wife are super nice folks and seem like they love what they do.

Food was fabulous and out of this world and really brought alive the taste buds!

Presentation was phenomenal.
The paneer Tikka made you want to cry with tears of joy given how perfectly marinated and skewered it was.
All items from samosas to veg Manchurian to tadka dal to paneer Tikka at spice level 6 were perfection personified.
Sharma's Kitchen is the Best Indian food in west Lafayette

Lovely family run restaurant with top notch Indian food. Lafayette is lucky to have such an option. Highly recommend. Real naan, lots of veg options, and delicious non veg as well.

I decided I was in the mood for Indian food for lunch today. A friend and I stopped by Sharma's Kitchen in Eastway Plaza. From outside in the parking lot, I could already smell the delicious spices used inside. Lunch is served as a buffet, with many vegetarian and non-vegetarian options available. The naan is included and cooked at request. It was fantastic. All of the buffet food was fresh and hot, the biryani was excellent, and the desserts were great. Much of the food here reminded me of the food I experienced while in India -- perhaps minus some of the spicy heat. It was the perfect place for a genuine taste of Indian fare. I'll definitely return.

Glad that they have their buffet back. Food is great. Good selection and quality. Buffet was $24 before tax. Service is good too.

The onion naan with garlic (not on the menu) is the bomb!
It was delicious along with their vegetable Manchurian.
Their mix grill is inarguably the best non-veg tandoor item you can ever have. Juicy and tender meat with perfect spices.
The owners are very sweet and they accommodated all the customization requests I made.
I definitely recommend this place!

We went on a Sunday evening and they were having their buffet style/all you can eat night. Everything was absolutely delicious! The staff was also extremely kind and helpful with any questions or concerns we had. I absolutely recommend this restaurant, they were spectacular!

So happy buffet service is back on Saturdays and Sundays beginning at 4 pm. If someone is new to the cuisine the owners are graciously willing to explain the dishes. It is well worth the visit every time. Thank you. NAMASKAR

Amazing food !! Best in Lafayette and West Lafayette area for sure !!! The ambiennce needs a little improvement with annoying doorbell sounds bit quick service and great food did it for me !!

I met Sharma through my work and I ended up assisting him with his needs there. He was so thankful that he asked me to come into his restaurant for a complimentary meal, even going far enough to offer to bring food to my work if I could not make it in. When I arrived at his establishment he greeted me warmly and encouraged me to order anything I like. The food was amazing, and the service was very attentive. Even though the food was free, I gave them a large tip that I had to very politely demand they accept. I can not say enough about the food and the kind people that work there. Lafayette is blessed to have them and I plan to return many times in the future.

It's kinda a small place, but that's part of what I love about it. Tons of vegetarian and vegan choices. The food isn't as spicy as you'd expect but still has a good kick. If you haven't been, you're missing out!!!

My favorite restaurant in the Lafayette area without a doubt. This place continues to surpass my standards. The staff and owners are the kindest people ever!

The owner was very nice and they offered a free goat curry for us, which tasted amazing. You can enjoy authentic Indian food. Highly recommended.

I chose to celebrate my 50th birthday at Sharma's Kitchen, and I was not disappointed! The servers were super friendly, and the owner noticed it was my birthday and tried to get a cake from the Mana Ines bakery across the street in my honor! Turns out the Ines cakes were too big, so the chef made me a special Indian dessert instead. When we went to pay for my meal, the owner said it was complimentary in honor of my birthday! We were so impressed with the service, and the food was absolutely delicious. I'm sad they don't do the buffet anymore, but it was definitely the best choice for my birthday!
