Although the regular, dinner menu may be pricy, Essence of India's weekend buffet is a great deal for great Indian cuisine.  I stopped in with some friends soon after noon on a Saturday and the large seating space was sprinkled here and there with customers. No where near as packed as at dinner. But the server was friendly and got us seated, refilling drinks and clearing away plates from the buffet as needed. The buffet itself had a wide range of both meat and vegetable options, especially since Indian cuisine is largely vegetarian based, and everything was continuously being restocked, keeping even the rice fresh. It was surprising that the meat wasn't overcooked and dry, since that is a regular habit of buffets. The butter chicken may have been my favorite, but the lentil and chickpea dish with a nice and spicy kick wasn't far behind. This will definitely be my go-to place for Indian cuisine in the future!

I would have to say this is the best Indian restaurant in Tallahassee. The food is quite authentic, I have eaten here multiple times and had a good experience each time. The buffet is well-stocked and the food is delicious. I recommend this restaurant.

Good quality food! I really liked the buffet. Attentive and friendly servers. I'm big on customer service and I was impressed.

The food is very good and authentic. The spicy level goes from not spicy to hot! Love dining there. Oh... their rice pudding is to die for. So light and refreshing!

Went there to eat biryani but was given fried rice. Although they took it back and didn't charge me, I was not impressed with their staff. Very clumsy service and no where near authentic.
