Went for the lunch buffer when I was visiting the university. Did not expect too much from an $8.99 lunch buffet, but still slightly disappointed. The place looks like what you would expect from such an Indian restaurant. The buffet had an OK selection, and the quality of what was there was eatable, but not much more. Was surprised to... More

BUG INFESTED. EATING HERE COULD BE A SERIOUS HEALTH RISK. While eating at the 'Star of India' restaurant in Oakland, Pittsburgh, I discovered a baby roach stuck to the inside wall of my glass.
