New Indian Village

The food is amazing! Service was prompt! We will be back. Thanks Guys - Mike

If it wasn't for the fact that the food is still quite delicious, then this review would have easily been a one star.

The state of this restaurant continues to deteriorate. My wife and I went a couple of years ago after trying out "New Asian Village" in Sherwood Park. "New Indian Village" has received a slight facelift after breaking off from the "New Asian Village" team. I say slight because they have their own marquis sign, the Google information is new, and that's pretty much where it stops. Their menus still say "New Asian Village" and so do the placards for the buffet food. We returned this past weekend and took my family out for a birthday dinner. There is no buffet yet which is perfectly understandable given the world's current situation. We were met with a rather rude greeting to start. My wife mentioned that we had made a reservation... something that we were instructed to do on the phone several days prior. The gentleman furrowed his eyebrows and instantly just responded with a stern "No" without explanation or anything. Alright, that's fine considering there were only two other tables occupied at the time. No courteous greeting is a scratch off my list though. The atmosphere is dark even in comparison to the "New Asian Village" Sherwood Park location (which has almost the exact same decor). There were no TV sets on which is a small thing but when it's this quiet in a restaurant then the TVs usually help add some sort of white noise or visual stimulation. There are chips and scratches in a lot of the walls (and not small ones either). The fabric on a lot of the chairs that I could see is becoming quote frayed and tattered. The windows were dirty. The front "Specials" board was just a blank white canvas... you could at least put a nice greeting or "Welcome back, we are open again!"... anything really. To emphasize on the darkness, there were sections inside that had no lights on at all. The buffet area and most of the bar area had no lights on whatsoever. The tone of our waiter was all around unpleasant. He tried a little more once our food arrived but prior to that it was just dull. I got the sense that he did not want to even be there. The saving grace as previously mentioned was the food. The food is at least on par with "New Asian Village". This is not enough for the sake of convenience though. I will be taking my family to Sherwood Park from now on as they offer a friendly environment and the staff there are extremely kind and welcoming.

Fantastic food, super friendly staff members, constantly good character. They charge convenient prices and the food quality is fantastic. Highly recommended.

Great food. Nice servers. Nice atmosphere.

We always have lunch buffet in this place. Lots of variety of food. The food here is always fresh, high quality and lots of variety. This a great place for people who love chicken and fish.
We also love ordering vegetarian samosas to go. It is so delicious. I highly recommend in ordering samosas here and having lunch here.
Also a great place for take-out.
