Hi - I had been here with family and I had a terrible experience. Here are the details: 01. Food Taste is worst 02. Variety - nothing special... and not even on par 03. The staff was removing the cutleries etc by 9.15 am when i was standing there to serve myself. He did not even allow me to serve... More

We ate here whilst staying at the Hampton Inn next door. We were told that the food was very average, but we found it tasty and a good choice on the buffet. Nice staff, freindly service and value for money prices. Would definately eat here again. More

Modern India is a basic curry house offering basic food in basic surroundings for a reasonable price compared to other local restaurants who seem to be charging extra for their decor and not their food. Pros - At under $12 for the evening buffet the price is reasonable for the same or better food than other Indian restaurants close by.... More

Buffet style restaurant. Under 12$ for dinner which was super reasonable given the selection. Standard fare plus other dishes one normally orders off the menu. Food quality was a really pleasant surprise, I feared it would be bland but it was not at all. I can't understand why anyone would eat at Harvey's next door More

This is a buffet style restaurant, with a rather small repetoire, but it does taste very good. Prices are excellent, but I don't recommend the ice cream, as it melts quickly. The service is average at best, and the atmosphere and decor well below average. Still, worthwhile because of the food! More

Service needs a little work...but the food is AWESOME. I am sure that they have Mom in the back cooking it all up. More

Pros: - Close to our hotel! Cons: - Atmosphere is like that of a mall food court (sit-anywhere style, wood veneer tables that weren't all that clean, frequent visits from houseflies) - Quality of food is comparable to a cafeteria, and there wasn't a lot of variety. We've eaten at various Indian restaurants in Toronto, and the quality here was... More

Certainly one of the best Values In Kitchener. Not too spicy with some "Candian" type dishes for those that are picky. More

I have lost track on how often my husband and I have eaten here. When first we saw the place go up, we wondered who would ever eat in such a spartan place with such an unappealing name. However, curiousity prompted us to give it a try when we noted that the parking lot was almost always full of cars.... More
