“ Decent buffet. I do wish it had the names of the food listed because there are items that are not typically on an Indian buffet. The food was very spicy. I like eating Indian food but usually get a lower spice. ”
“ By far the best Indian buffet I've visited. Wide selection of dishes from spicy to mild. If you don't like spicy try the butter chicken. Very flavorful and very tender without the hot spices. Buffet is open Tuesday through Sunday. If you aren't the buffet type you can order from the menu after 530 pm. In addition to the great fare on the buffet they also provide you with warm naan right out of the oven. Water , soft drinks , beer and wine available. Buffet for two with only water to drink is 43.00. Well worth it. Establishment is well lit and clean. Give them a try if you like Indian food. You won't be disappointed ! ”
“ Best Indian restaurant in Columbus, IN! I love their Paneer Tikka Masala and garlic naan! ”
“ Great food! Appropriate service speed. I have not physically been inside but have ordered takeout from here. ”
“ Just came from the Sunday evening buffet. My husband and I both love Indian food, we love trying new places, and so we've eaten in numerous Indian restaurants over the years. But Apna stands in a class by itself. Everything we tried was wonderful! We don't live in Columbus, so we're going to have to drive a couple of hours to come back. But we will, and it'll be well worth it! ”
“ Always delicious biryani, wide array of curries, delicious naan and tandoor chicken! We love Apna and always try and go when we get a chance! ”
“ We tried the: Dal Tadke Wali Medhu Vada Chicken Vindaloo Garlic Naan They were all great ! Especially the chicken vindaloo -- I loved the flavor especially with the naan. And I had never had anything like the medhu vada before - a savory, spongey, sort of donut that went with a simple veggie curry for dipping. The daal was more familiar with turmeric and warm spices. I think we got medium spice and it was pretty much perfect for us. The only thing that threw me off was they have had to raise their prices but the changes are not reflected on the menu so you may need to ask for an itemized list to see what everything costs. Not a problem just something to be aware of. You also check out at the front desk instead of at your table. Also, we got styrofoam boxes for to-go instead of the usual plastic tubs which wouldn't be a problem if I had been more careful in the car or maybe asked for a bag. Instead I spilled it and the daal got everywhere -- a word of caution if you never finish your food like me lol! ”
“ Good food and a lot of it. Don't be turned off by the outside appearance. Inside was very nice and clean and colorful. There were hand written sign indicating a lunch buffet would be available on the weekend. Even though we were a bit early, the host was gracious and seated us, bringing us menus and ice water. We ordered two entrees and an appetizer off the extensive menu. Oh my gosh. Big mistake. We ended up with enough food to feed a small army. Everything is made fresh so it is piping hot. I really enjoyed the fried cauliflower appetizer. It was so good. If I could eat vegan food this tasteful all the time I could **maybe** give up meat. By the time we left , it was starting to get busy. The naan, the vegetables, the rice, the meats were perfect. It is the kind of place where you order a Coke and they bring you a can of it. Water is free. Plan on going home after or having a cooler in the car because serving sizes are huge. ”
