I ordered take out online through their online ordering system, which is very fast and convenient for a lunch time take out order from my work.
I got the curry chicken lunch special and with out realizing it, I was going to order an extra samosa thinking it wouldn't come with one because the price was so cheap. But to my surprise it came with the curry chicken, rice and a samosa. Most places for $7.50 you just get the chicken and rice so I was very satisfied with the amount of food and price.
I also decided to get as hot as possible because most Indian places give you a mild at best even when you ask for as hot as possible (possibly because of the type of people that live in this area) and this was definitely hot.
When we got there it was a little crazy inside because it was 12:30pm and the staff seemed to be rushing around but in all that rush two people had asked us if we were there for the pick up order or to dine in. We got our food quickly and 2 staff members (one of which who seemed like he may have been the owner) sparked up conversations with us while still doing their jobs.
The flavour of the curry was great. I don't eat Indian curry as much as Thai curry (for any one who eats both, there is a big difference) but I have some what of an idea how Indian curries should taste.
What was good: the price, the service, the food and the convenience is really great .
What could be better: if it was an all you can eat buffet and the hours of operation seem to be really weird and the decor inside the restaurant seemed to have been from a pub that was there before it.
We had naan, butter chicken and biryani. Butter chicken was alright, not particularly flavorful and too oily. As I think any decent Indian restaurant should at least make good butter chicken, this was a disappointment. Biryani also wasn't anything memorable. Naan was a complete disappointment as it tasked exactly like the frozen kind.
The service was pretty good. The waiter was attentive and seemed to know the menu well. The owner also came out and greeted us, which was nice.
I have been going to Vijay's for years, and find myself writing this review after having a bad experience at a local indian competitor (Empress of India). I signed up for Restaurantica to express my disappointment at Empress, so it's only fair I give Vijay's a pat on the back (while im here).
The main problem at Empress was ridiculous prices, and having to pay 'extra' for EVERYTHING (rice??!) well, I order lunch to take back to my office from Vijays atleast once a week and for around 10 bucks I get the meal of my choice, with a side of rice AND a samosa or a soup!! That's extraordinary value, and the food is always made to my liking (sometimes spicy, sometimes medium). Not only that but the offering lasts me 2 lunches. If you want to spend a couple extra bucks get a naan and a small raita, it's delicious with a spicy dish. Oh and the samosa dipping sauce is to die for!
Dinner is much of the same, just larger portions and it's quite nice atmosphere with excellent service.
Thanks Vijay's, keep it up!
I have eaten here many times and this is the best Indian restaurant I have tried. The food is excellent and the value is even better. Have had exceptional service every time I've been. The staff is helpful in explaining the dishes and making recommendations. Would recommend this spot to anyone.
The nan bread tasted like it was one month old and still trying to defrost.
The samosas looked and tasted like frozen meat paste.
The "hot" rogan josh curry was milder than Johnson's baby shampoo.
Terrible food experience. Won't make that mistake again. Looking forward to some real competition in the area so that the food at this place can have some chance of improving.
