The Great Indian Restaurant

Update: The bathrooms are filthy! This is Moline, not Mumbai! Gross. Makes one wonder if the employees wash & what the kitchen looks like. Even though the food is good, the restaurants hygiene will keep me away.

Haven’t been here since pre-Covid. They no longer have the buffet for lunch which was a disappointment, but not shocked since so many restaurants haven’t brought back their buffets. They couldn’t make any money & Covid restrictions taught them that.
I ordered a goat curry & my friend ordered a shrimp dish. We both thoroughly enjoyed them. The garlic naan was delicious. We had a chickpea based soup that was good as well. It was too bad we were the only ones there. Hopefully their dinner crowd & carry out makes up the difference. Prices were fair. All goat dishes have bones, but they minimized them. I actually like their food better than the Indian restaurant in East Moline in the World Market. If you enjoy Indian food, give them a try.

Amazing food. Just the right spice at mild for all the Indian flavor you expect. Quick and clean.

Serving sizes are great, food is amazing, staff is very nice!!

Delicious! This may be my new favorite. The food was wonderful and the place is very tidy.

Authentic Indian. Will make the food mild for those of us that are sensitive. My fave go to place!! Always very nice and informative. Update- Still my fav!! I cannot get enough! Really good to go to the daily lunch buffet for tasting! A MUST try!

The food is always great and fresh here. And the lunch buffet for $8.95 really can't be beat

THE most authentic, delicious indian food! I believe the owner greeted us, sat us, brought drinks and refills, took our order, cooked our order and offered dessert! Absolutely delicious!!!

The food was fantastic! So glad we found a good place in the Quad Cities to get Indian.

We went here for my mom's birthday dinner and were pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The place always looks so empty and it was empty when we first got there around 6pm. The portions were large and the naan was unbelievably good. We'll be sure to make it back here more often.

It looks like an old taco bell from the outside, but their food is the best Indian in the quad cities by a small margin, but you get more for your money and they give you what you ordered (they are often a little light on heat but don't make the wrong dish spicy). Be aware that some biriani have bones with the meat (usually extra tender, but not my preferred for kids). You just need to check. Final advice: their weekday buffet isn't nearly as good as if you order directly. I'm told weekend buffet is good but haven't tried it. Just order ahead and skip the buffet. It is Way better... Indian coworkers love it when ordered but dislike the buffet. Also for carry out, they tell you 15-20 min and it's always less than that. We love this place!

We were in the neighborhood so we decided to give this place a try and we are so glad that we did. The food is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend this place even if you have never tried Indian food. The food came piping hot and the rice was cooked perfectly.

This restaurant is well-named. I went here recently with another couple and we had a great meal. We all went home stuffed! Everyone loved their meal. The spice was just right for me (I like it spicy, but not melt-your-face-off spicy). I especially liked the selection of Indian beers to go along with our meal. It was a great value. Four adults, two rounds of drinks, and an appetizer came out right at $100.

Stopped by here on my way to Iowa. This is a gem excellent food. I have not had good chola bhatura in a long time, it was like homemade food. Ordered daal makhni and veh biryani also I am impressed. Right amount of spice and spice mix was just to the point.

Every time we get food from here we try at least one new item, and they continue to top our expectations each time. The lamb vindaloo and the samosa chaat are our two favorite things to order! Give this place a try and you will not be disappointed! Owners and employees are great people and happy to give suggestions.

This might be the best Indian food I've ever eaten. But it's not congruent to the setting. Buffet really small, hardly any meat dishes. But I went up 3 times and mourned I could stuff no more food down my throat. It was so good.

From the outside the place doesn't look open and a little run down. The inside isn't fancy but offers a nice place for a group to gather and get a great meal.

It has a small lunch buffet with 2 types of soup, a salad bar, nice selection of several main course dishes, and 2 choices for dessert. All you can eat for $8.99. I also noticed that they have a special one night during the week for $8.99.

The soups looked interesting and the one I tried was tasty. The Sambhar was hot, spicy, and delicious. Matched with a piece of Naan bread makes for a good meal or starter.

Each item of main course was kept hot enough that it was steaming when brought to the table. The choices included some spicy dishes along with not spicy items. All that I tried were very flavorful.

The desserts were a little unusual. Neither were sweet and not what I expected.

I've had frozen Indian food, but never been to a restaurant before. We had a variety of food and it was all great at a fair price for a large amount. The waiter was good and we had a very short wait for our food

While celebrating our 46th wedding anniversary, my wife and I Googled restaurants that offered proper precautions for Covid19 as well as vegetarian options. This establishment more than filled the bill.
Greeted by the owner, we were seated immediately and, after my wife was assured that she could get her food mildly spiced, we ordered our choices.
All of our food was cooked from scratch by the owner's wife and could not have been more delicious. As a matter of fact, we (only half kiddingly) asked the owner if he would consider moving to Chicago! The food was that good.
Bottom line, whenever we are in the area, this will be our restaurant of choice.

The place looks dilapidated. I don't think it's been professionally cleaned in at least a decade. But the food is VERY good. So order it to go.

Delicious food! Aloo palak and Vegetable Vindaloo fantastic! Gracious host, family business. The samosa chaat was so impressive...the spices so flavorful. We enjoyed the meal and then did take out too for supper!
