Minerva Indian Cuisine

We usually go to this place for lunch buffet only when we dont have other choice like on tuesdays since other indian restaurants like udipi are closed on that day. We know that its definitely not the best food but still hope atleast may find something to eat. But this particular day had the worst exerience Pros: cant find any Cons: food, service, manager more

I'm not sure why some of the other reviewers talk about how horrible the place is and then say they go once a week and such. In my experience the place is good. The naan is delicious and warm, the food is flavorful. If you would like it spicy you have to request that because the standard order is very mild. I have eaten here at least 10 times (always dinner). I have never been served stale food nor cold food. That being said the service is terrible. Water glasses will remain unfilled, no one will bring you the check. But we have discovered if we just speak up we will be attended to. Pros: easy, good food Cons: slow service more

I have been here about 8-10 times. Did not have another option since I lived in that area.I believe the good reviews are their own or some Americans whose reviews actually go for the Indian food and its taste they are fond of and not this restaurant. 1) The service is very pathetic. 2) The food is stale and uncooked.I consumed just 25% of food few times and left hungry or unhappy. -- The restaurant is hardly ever filled 20% of its capacity. 3) I once waited 15 minutes for the manager/owner and he did not care to look at me while I was softly complaining.He did not like an uninvited customer feedback and said things are expensive and he already knew a lot about this business.(A lame excuse and a rude reply) 4) Never cared to replace any stale food. 5) Waiters were sad, atmosphere gloomy and did not care whats going on?Despite all this I gave a waiter some tip (felt sorry for anything he must be going through)...some gestures and I realized he was NOT ALLOWED to keep it for himself.So I changed my mind. 6)Sad and scrapped music every time and they always play the same.Last few times I had to to-go my food for the same reason. 7)A hectic day and such a place to eat...... 8)Have moved to a different area....Anyone ever loses a bet with me ..the punishment is to eat at ""The Authentic, traditional Minerva"".LOL more

I've used this restaurant on average, once a month, mostly for the lunch buffet. Recently, I tried the evening buffet, and the only difference between the two, was more variety in the evening option. Pros: Variety of food Cons: Poor service, staff hardly communicate in English, food is never hot enough. more

their buffet offers more varieties and are very very tasty.especially indo chinese items like chilly chk are awesome.and i like their chk tkka masala.i love indian food and i like minerva more

Nice staff, and the lunch buffet was quite good. Definitely Americanised (spices downplayed for unadventurous palates), but good value very tasty, with distinctive variety of flavor. Pros: Flavors, inexpensive Cons: Needs interior work! more

I ordered some food from them from a third party delivery service and was missing an item when it was delivered. When I called the restaurant they refused to admit that they could have missed an item. Not only that, their food was way below par. The bread was undercooked and what was promised on the menu was not completely fulfilled.(The missing item) more

The Indo-Chinese has some wonderful offerings that you don't see at most Indian restaurants. For those of you expecting your typical Chinese, don't. The chili chicken is good, but it will clear out your sinuses, and possibly your tear ducts. The dinner menu is better than the buffet, but both are good. Pros: Variety of choices, Good Buffet Cons: Price, Price, Price more

Hey, this is a great Indian place. The jogan rosh meal I had was great. The nan was wonderful, the lentils superb, and the potato curry fantastic. The ambience rises above the strip mall it is in, but not too much. My family and I would have liked a little more information on how the various dishes were intended to be eaten, though. From my experience, I would recommend this restaurant. more

Have visited this restaurant a few times now. The food is very good although dishes are milder than I am used to (I am a regular visitor from Scotland). On the whole though the experience is pretty good, service is friendly and quick. The only criticism (and reason why the place is so quiet) is that the menu is just too pricey with all main courses being over $12. Pros: Food, Not Crowded Cons: Price, Price, Price more
