I visited Modern India Rest on May 13th - MOTHER'S DAY. I small sign was taped to the front door announcing that for today only the lunch price would be $13.99 (instead of the usual lunch price of $10.99). This was clearly done to "cash in" on the extra customers which they anticipated for Mother's Day. I've been eating at this restaurant for the past 9 or 10 years. The management changed a few months ago. The previous management NEVER charged extra on holidays or "special" Sundays - the lunch price was the same, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year. That

I came here for buffet.. after having the taste of Indian food a few days ago, I was craving it again but wanted variety, so I came for buffet instead. First and foremost.. the food here is Fresh and Delicious! The customer service is simple and very kind. I think this will be my new favorite regular spot for Indian food! They have vegetarian and meat items. Everyone can be happy, if you come here.
I tried the vegetarian options and meat options and everything was cooked to perfection! The goat / lamb curry was soooooo good! And the butter chicken was Delicious! The Naan bread was probably one

2.5 Stars. It can go either way. Really...think about it. It's an Indian Buffet at $11 for Lunch and $14. It's not expensive and it's for a fill up.
For all those people looking for service, ambiance, top notch cleanliness, and gastronomic delight - as many reviewers seem to want...this is not the place. We are in Kitchener and the best I think I saw was a Bombay Bhel across the street. The place has blinking white Christmas lights completely around the perimeter of the signage and it blinks all night! Come on people...! It's like the Honest Ed's of Curry in

My wife and I so much enjoyed the new atmosphere and the new layout of the Buffet.
We sure enjoyed a couple of new dishes but overall all the dishes were excellent for us. we are seniors and the service at our table by the young lady was excellent. We were welcomed when we arrived and seated at the table of our choice. Everything from the NAN Bread / Chicken / Goat / Tandoori Chicken were succulent and delicious. We will continue to enjoy this Indian Restaurant into the future. A Super choice for Seniors - (Price is Right).

I actually have noooooooo idea how this place is still open. When we entered this restaurant, it was dirty. We ordered drinks and they came in very dirty cups which I couldn't even try to ignore. The food was terrible and felt very unsanitary. I actually couldn't eat, so I left and couldn't eat for the rest of the day. Just a terrible place! I wish I could give it zero stars!

I love cheap, fast, delicious Indian with no frills, but this place is silly. The food is ok -- middle-of-the-road, nothing really wrong but nothing to write home about either. What truly sucks is the service.
I went in by myself for a quick bite on New Year's Day, on my way to London. The place was practically empty -- only 2 tables of maybe 20 in the restaurant were occupied. The "host" insisted I sit at a tiny two top right in front of the door, meaning I would be exposed to freezing cold wind any time someone opened the door. No thanks. I moved to leave and he let me sit at

Went for lunch and the selection was not very big. There are only three meat entrees: goat curry, butter chicken, and tandoori chicken. And there are four vegetarian entrees, as well as a salad bar. The food actually tasted good. I'm giving a relatively low rating because I got a stomach ache after dining there...

We been years coming to this restaurant and the taste not change....still same owner ...I guess.
The taste of the food is not that strong. If you taste the butter chicken....you can taste of tomatoes. The meat of goat soft but not to soft. Chicken tandoori have more taste to it but I always think why they remove the chicken skin?
I guess for $11.49 for dinner is good deal compare with other places.

Placed a take-out order with a couple of friends in person. They said it would be a 30 minute wait, and refused when I asked to pay right away. We agreed and walked across the street to our hotel. We returned 25 minutes later to see our receipts still sitting at the cashier. The host told us they had no idea if we still wanted our orders because we left, and that we shouldn't have left if we wanted our food to be ordered. Ridiculous and incompetent service, not to mention the blocked off windows to hide the kitchen. No idea how this place is in business.

I stopped in here by chance last week and was pleased to find a cheaper alternative to eat. The hosts are nice and the buffet is quick, easy and had several veggie options so there was no problem there. We went there a second time this week and aren't disappointed with the food. If you are looking for a fancy fine dining experience there are better options but for $10 I can't complain and it will be a place to go if we are in the area at lunch time again.

I would give this place a negative star if I had an option. I was craving hot masala chai with some Indian food. I asked the girl at the counter if I can order chole bhature and she said we are out of stock. Whatever that means! Didn't want to do buffet cuz it was alot of food. Asked her what spicy rice had and she just told me that rice which is spicy..gee thanx. She got my order wrong which was palak paneer, naan n chai. I asked if I could sit in and she said ok. I got the food in a white garbage bag with paneer over flowing from the container. After arguing with me 2 for mins then she finally

Ignore the snobby reviews. This is the best bang for your buck in the tri-cities/Guelph. It's not meant to be upscale, it's built in an old wendys. I don't know what people expect.
I've tried almost everything on the buffet. Always great. The price is cheap, you can get the buffet, a pop, leave a decent tip, pay the tax, all for under 20 bucks. I've only ever had exceptional service. Stuff is always quickly refilled at the buffet.
Pretty sure they make their own naan, it's the best I've ever had. Always hot and fresh.
Some stuff is pretty spicy, so try a

I tried their lunch buffet yesterday during my recent visit to Canada. If you are a vegetarian, they don't have much option in their lunch buffet as it happen to me and two other guest who were also vegetarian.. I like their naans... Saag paneer was ok, disappointed with Chana dish, Dal makhni was my favorite dish in the buffet. Overall ok place but don't think I will try this place again.

Visited Friday for dinner buffet $9.99 (lowered their prices from $12.99 which is a much better price for the size of the buffet).
Waitress spoke very little English and understood even less. We ordered hot sauce, which the chef/cook usually prepares upon request, and had to explain it several times to waitress and still never got it! Even the couple seated next to us had a hard time ordering Chai tea. The server didn't understand what Masala Chai Tea was? Not impressed with the server.
Windowsills, floors and chairs were all filthy! I had to look for a clean chair as the fabric was

They have a lunch buffet Monday to Friday. I just went recently. There is not a lot of selection compared to other buffets, but it fills you up nonetheless. Your typical Indian food cooked well. If you are vegetarian, there isn't a lot of selection - usually 2-3 dishes. You can of course order extra items off the menu yourself.
Service is great and they just recently renovated, the interior is very classy. I would say it's really worth the money, and great to go in small groups.
