Hakka noodle is to die forrr. They have buffet options too, please call nd confirm before going

Good taste

The food was good but the waiter didn't even approach me once to ask if everything was well. So I just tipped him a dollar.

This might be my favorite restaurant. The buffet is always interesting and delicious.The aviance is delightful and the staff is very pleasant.

Today Tuesday Me and my wife had a Lunch buffet at Minerva restaurant one of my friend recommended we like the food very good and testy best part is that they use meats Halal chicken and goat thanks.

Good

Buffet is very good . Nice options for both veg and non veg .

Good food.

Our food and experience were just fine. The food was good and a great value. Take out seemed to be slow and there were some problems due to lack of enough staff. Those working were doing their best. Shame on the loud folks who chose to be ugly about the situation.

Glad we missed having Indian food and decided to try out Minerva again. It was delicious!!! Also very reasonably priced beers and wine, and nice variety of dishes on the menu. Spacious inside, so everyone reasonably distanced. Finally, it was great to see someone so diligently cleaning the lunch buffet station. We'll definitely be back.

Awesome and tasty Indian food, ambience is nice, a must visit whenever you are in Tampa, FL

We enjoyed the buffet, good variety for both veg and non veg. Highly recommend

Good restaurant with approx 15 tables located at prime location in New Tampa Staff is good and polite We get couple of options for Jain food as well Food taste is also good.

Really enjoyed the food here on a recent Saturday night, especially the tandoori chicken. The dining room’s ambiance leaves a little to be desired though. Their food app delivery business is prolific and the dining room has become a waiting room area for UberEats and Grubhub drivers. Many of whom were loudly complaining about the wait times and arguing with the restaurant staff.

Always going there for their buffet. Lot of options to choose from if your a vegetarian or non vegetarian. I personally like the pepper chicken which I tell them to spice it up.

Excellent food! Sometimes a short wait when picking up an order.

The only Place where I wasted Food

This place is excellent. There is a wide variety of delicious food. The price is reasonable and the customer service is excellent. We always look forward to bringing our family here

Good food but poor customer service. They haven't adapted to the take-out model (the dines-in numbers are way down during pandemic days?). I ordered take-out. When I went to pick-up there was nobody at the register and plenty of customers waiting. After waiting for about 10 minutes, had to go past the register, close to the kitchen door to holler somebody. A person came out to take my payment but there was no acknowledgement of inconvenience.

Very good food

My family and I have been going here since they opened; wholesome people and amazing food. Truly feels like family when you go in this place. We love Minerva so much. 10/10.

Great food, reasonable price for lunch buffet. Wide variety of vegetarian options. Would recommend giving them a try.

I wish I could give 6 stars. Polite host who took care of everything. They were ready to go above and beyond even with a buffet serve.Taste was authentic and every single dish was worth a try. Very extended breakfast buffet. Must to go place.

Kheema Biryani, Chicken 555, and Soup was good. Tandoori items were kind of ok.

Good buffet with large choice of dishes. They have increased the price though

Good Indian restaurant in Tampa. The host is very nice and welcoming.

Everything was so Delicious and Flavorful! A lot to choose from and everything is labeled! I will highly recommend! Also very nice and Friendly staff!!

Great food and very pleasant dining experience

Good buffet. Wide variety of curries and sweets.

Buffet offered vegan and non vegan entrees the food was very good in flavor , a little spicy and the cilantro rice was an excellent dish

Food was delicious and buffet is always great to see!

Great lunch buffet with fresh food and good service.

Excellent food. Prepared just as requested.

Great Indian food …love to visit this place again and against

Nice buffet and reasonable price ($14.99). Friendly staff..

Delicious, spicy and authentic food. Very fresh and tasty!

Good service

We ordered a chicken sweetcorn soup and they gave us soup with just vegetables. We again asked them, they said they will modify our soup. The food was very spicy. They need to ask the customers on the basis of their spice tolerance whether they want medium or mild etc… Overall was good, enjoyed the kheer (rice pudding).

Butter chicken was good. Service was fast. Nice staff.

Buffet was just mediocre today. Normally the food is okay, but the kitchen was not on its game.

One of the hidden gems in the Bruce B Downs area. Minerva serves authentic and delicious Indian food and occasionally puts a South Indian spin on dishes from other cultures. They have an excellent butter chicken, excellent samosas, an excellent chili chicken recipe and imbue all their foods with that authentic South Indian flavor.

Great service and amazing food- chole and parantha. Paneer tikka is amazing as well. Fresh and tasty! Clean and inviting sitting area.

From the first course to the last, it was a flavor explosion. Spicy, but not over done. The vegetable samosa was seasoned beautifully. They had a complex profile with a floral note on the end. The papadon were light and crispy and not just a bland cardboard. My tomato soup, something we've all had before, was an introduction to a new friend. Herbs and spices come together elegantly. Then comes the Chicken Tika Masala. It was fork tender and with a flavor so deep that I felt like I was in the chef's home kitchen. Well worth coming.

Very clean restaurant with good food and wide selection in the buffet . Happy staff too… definitely recommend

Amazing food and many choices

Fantastic food and great vegan options that are clearly marked.

Delicious.

The food was extremely tasty and the service was great. One of the best Indian food I have had in the US. Their North Indian and South Indian cuisines are great.

Nice people .... good food

A VERY tasty all you can eat buffet. Great Indian food!

Great food, enjoyed it.

Good flavors, awesome menu, lacking in the paneer naan, might be me but I need alot more cheese, prices are reasonable, totally worth an try. Lamb tiki masala was tender and saucey.

One of the best restaurant in tampa. I enjoy chicken 65, naan and curry.

Owner seems nice but I guess flavors were bad. Went for. Buffet. Naans were hard. Bathura too. Pakodas were good..

Had the Lamb Tikki Masala, fantastic. It did take them 5 minutes or more to give us menus. But after that everything was just about perfect, got our beers nice and fast. Food was amazing, service after the first mishap was a 10 out of 10. Would 100% recommend, and get at least a six on the spiciness. I personally get a 8.

It was above average but I have had better. Waited a bit to get seated. There was no a.c. so it was pretty uncomfortable. Staff were attentive and very pleasant.

Absolutely delicious every time! TONS of food. Only wish there was a way to get half orders so we don’t waste leftovers. Well worth it though!

Spicy food, wonderful service and staff.

So nice. Chia was so tasty. Food was full of spice, fresh, and aromatic. Minerva is a family favorite.

Nice pleasant atmosphere. Indian music background. Plentiful buffet with many vegan options. Authentic Indian spice and flavor.

Awesome food.. specially biriyani

Great food, fresh ingredients, affordable prices, I will be back again . Amazing service

My new favorite Indian Restaurant in Tampa. The service and food were both excellent.

Great food with perfect Indian taste, nice ambiance, and friendly service. it wasn't crowded yet and it didn't disappoint. Every dish came out hot and tasty! I can really appreciate the fact they have more options for their dishes vegetarian, chicken, shrimp, lamb...

The food here is absolutely incredible. We ordered a wide variety and everything we had was delicious!

Very tasty Indian food, best in Tampa! Buffet is phenomenal and the staff are very friendly.

Typically food is awesome. Service is never good.

Extra spicy food, but delicius

I ordered chicken curry, garlic naan and vegetable samosas. Highly highly recommend this place, top notch food as well as customer service.

Great staff and reasonable prices. One of most favorite places to eat near Tampa. The Naan is also so good! I recommend the butter garlic ????

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! Everything I had was delicious!!! And the service was kind, friendly, suggestive, and nice.

Couple of times been to buffet but they don't look and refill the items promptly. Not every item tastes good. Poori is hard. Not too many varieties also. It's costs close to 15$ but the availability of items is bad.

Please Properly label vegan and vegetarian items, as they are not the same. I would like to eat here yet just looking at the menu, dishes with either/or milk, butter, and cheese are labeled vegan when they are actually supposed to be labeled vegetarian. I give 3 stars for effort, I would like to come try the place out so that I can give 5 stars but first the menu needs to reflect the food properly because nobody wants to get sick off of items that are improperly labeled.

Food was good but expect it to be kinda spicy even if you asked for mild. I ordered the goat and it was mostly bones. If you order cheaper meats or vegetarian options, you’d be getting your moneys worth. Received a dirty plate and servers were always walking around asking if you want water refills but seemed kinda rude like they didn’t wanna be there

The chicken tandoori was exceptional. Friendly staff, reasonable pricing. Very good food.

So I have been ordering from Minerva for several years and have never once had a bad experience. Indian cuisine is extremely vegetarian friendly, and there are so many options here to choose from that it's almost overwhelming. There are several pakora, paneer, chana (chickpea), biryani, masala, and creamy curry dishes with enough a huge selection to choose from. If you partake in meat, there's lots of great lamb and chicken dishes too. My absolute favorite dish on the menu which I think everybody should try is the Malai Kofta, which I find myself ordering practically every time I order from here.

the food is special, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. It's a great place to go on a date.

We had the Butter Chickenand Chicken Tikki Marsala. Garlic Naan. Lamb samosas. Food was amazing and service was wonderful. Will definitely come back again.

Had nice Buffet after longtime..

Very inconsistent. Sometimes we love it. Other times it's just mediocre.

We went for lunch here...best part is the chicken briyani was good and they are not charging for kids. But most of the foods are not hot and the Roties are not soft to eat.

amazing food,excellent service. We order 5 different dishes all of them was phenomenal.

Best service with great prices and amazing food!

A friend and I ate here the other evening after he had recommended it previously. It did not disappoint. The food was great - very good flavors and good portion sizes

The food quality and quantity is much better Loved dine in here

Fast friendly service. We liked the lamb and veg samosa. Food was flavorful and delicious. ????

Excellent foods awesome

I was extremely pleased with the food quality and appearance. The vibes here were amazing too-as well as very welcoming.

Good Indian food, so many different options. Butter chicken is a great place to start if you’ve never had Indian food, and make sure to get all sorts of naan (bread). We’ve gotten takeout from here several times when we craved Indian food and have mostly been happy. Last time we ordered they didn’t include one of the naan I ordered but what are you going to do?

Ate here last night and everything was delicious. Very relaxed dining experience and the prices were fair. Will definitely be back!

I'm vegetarian. I eat Indian Food quite often. I was full and happy! I'll be back!

We are absolutely obsessed with everything on their menu. The service is good, the employees have a funny sense of humor but we enjoy it. All of the Curry’s are amazing.

Went there Thursday at 11.30 for lunch buffet. Food was tasty and fresh. Love the tendori chicken and biryani. The male owner may look tough but service was good. Kulab Jaman for dessert and complimentary hot chai tea. Recommended.

An amazing dinner! This is a very special locals place with fabulous service and high quality food. Love this place!

very personable service. Goat biryani with tender meat falls off the bone, spices come through, enough sauce for another meal. Garlic naan, thin and crispy. The food is fabulous and the hospitality is off the charts.

Interesting food, great nans, awesome friendly service. Location is good

I love their food, I just wish every meal was served with nan.

Good customer service. But they mess up on my takeout order.

One of the best places to get food from as a vegan. Great taste, smell, and the quality of the food is always top notch. The prices and portions are good and the food is hot and packaged well for pickup.

Went there for lunch buffet and it was great!! Love their food and prices. Definitely going back again.

food is delicious. Authentic Indian cuisine I am in love with this place will come back in future for sure.

Phenomenal...always great food and service...he is so kind to accept my expired coupons...I love this restaurant...

Good buffet - full paisa wasool. Weekend price is $20.37 with taxes and weekday something around 16ish. Service is prompt. High weeknd price was justified by the spread. However, the Butter chicken, paneer and dahi wada seemed to be prepared a day or two before and were not fresh. Rest all items are top notch. I did not had high hopes with these items honestly since I was mainly there for biryani and tandoori items. Did not feel that the owner would have listened to us on the issue since it was crowded and we did not wanted to be attention seekers though the hosts appeared welcoming. I would not mind visiting again if given a chance. I will post another review in a couple of weeks after taking my US team for lunch there. Fun fact - more than desis, you find the locals eating here and I felt that they frequented the restaurant. They serve chai in buffet which I have never seen back in India in any buffet. The chai felt refreshing, I had it towards the end before leaving the restaurant.

Food was absolutely amazing, it's incredibly tasty each time! The service was great, the food was brought out I think pretty quickly for the amount that we ordered and the waiter was very nice. I will be returning soon and making this my go to restaurant in Tampa!!

I came here recently for their lunch buffet and the food was delicious! I will definitely return.

This is a best place with cool atmoshpere. I visoted this place first time and really satisfied. The chicken was so juicy and tender. The staffs were friendly and recommend us their best dishes. Overall great experience. I will be back soon.

Fantastic place with great atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed the variety of delicious dishes. Delightful atmosphere, friendly staff and terrific food. Can't wait to go back. Highly recommended. I will be back soon.

Great Indian place! Probably my favorite Indian place so far. Here they have the thick Indian curry. Don't be deceived by the small pot. Highly recommended

Wow! What a great place i had found. The sitting area and the decorations was fantastic. The food was great in taste. Highly appreciated

Great place. I had a great experience on this place. The food was delicious. Their tandori chicken was fantastic. Highly recommended this place to all food lovers

Wow! What a great place. I want to try some indian food. I went to this place. This place was amazing. Highly recommended

We tried buffet food ranged from average to good. My issue is with the hygiene maintained across the restaurant. Accidentally one of the server, served 2 dosa to my friend instead of one, she did mention it to server in the mean time she touched the dosa's and took a bite from one of them. When he realized his mistake, that, it was for some other guest's take away order , the server spoke to my friend and picked one dosa with his hand (without gloves) to put it in take away container. Shortly after this incident, I saw the lady at the cashier casually holding dosa in her hand and without gloves.

The BEST Indian food in the area. The owners and staff are so friendly and the food never disappoints.

Best food and friendly service

delicious Indian food with superb variety to choose from. Best part if the price which is unbeatable.

$18.95 Lunch buffet on weekends (drinks included). Vast selection. Really Good.

Nice indian restaurant. The biryanis are great and the food is fresh. So far, I have visited the place over 5 times and food is consistent. Their desserts are pretty great as well (best falooda and priced great). Unlike a lot of other places, they do adjust spice levels pretty well if asked. Only negative would be that the chicken/mutton appetizers are not as flavorful but fish was great.

The best south Indian food in Tampa. All of their food is amazing.

Delicious food. Butter chicken was awesome.

Absolutely amazing, the food was so flavorful. Our server was very knowledgeable and recommended everything we tried! Will return!!

We loved the veg biryani, paneer Tikka masala and naan. Customer service was great.

A number of the dishes were flavorful. The dishes were on the smaller size, portion wise. Flavorful dishes, reasonable ambiance, nice service. Would recommend.

Variety of food in buffet , reasonable price compared to Bawarchi and Taaza mart.

When we had food at parties it tasted very good. And our first visit to restaurant was good experience too. But recently we went on Friday evening, I dont no why, the food was not at all good. They gave complimentary papad with chutney, felt like papad fried days ago, it was not fresh at all and bad smell coming too. Curry was also nt great.

Straight up fire, we dined in and it was so good

I ordered chicken dum biriyani,samosas and chicken 65. Everything was made well. I felt like I got my money's worth. Thank you Minerva for making me want to take more servings than I usually do. And the complimentary ladoo (a round indian sweet) made my son very happy.

The food was very good and they provided very attentive service.

Tried and ate the buffet surprisingly good! I thought it’s going to be very spicy its very flavorful meat are tender nicely seasoned not burning spicy. Came back next day for lunch for goat curry fry and garlic naan. I really enjoyed it more at home eating it and taking my time. Staff are very nice too.

The food is tasty but picking up an order from there takes at least 2 hours. First you are being told that it will take 40 minutes and upon arrival it will take an additional 1 1/2 Hrs. for your food to finish. Not the ideal dinner option if you are wanting to get home on time for dinner.

Delicious but highly unreliable. I love this place, but they really struggle with online orders. Tonight they didn't include rice with my order, and their solution was for me to travel to the restaurant to pick up the replacement. If you order delivery via their website vs Uber Eats / Door Dash / etc, the delivery can take up to 3 hours or more (personal experience). I have had more issues with this restaurant than any other. I highly recommend going to this restaurant, but don't count on them for online orders.

Delicious Lunch .

Great food. A bit expensive depending on what you order but still very good place to get Indian food. Ambience is really good.

For 14$ buffet provided on week days and 16$-19$ buffet provided on weekend and Festival days like thanksgiving and other days.. If we order and purchase food means the cost of the food is comparitively too high for the quantity of food which low.may be quantity sufficient for age group of 10 to 20. But for adults and non veg lovers can better opt for buffet. Even in buffet system,u will get normal recipes and there is no special recipe is remarkable. Unlik taaza,the spice and soar is normal, children can eat.

Overall good experience

I had given the feedback to the owner in person who gave me the assurance that the quality of food will be improved. Therefore I gave another attempt and took a buffet on Sun, Dec 11th and I was happy that the assurance had turned true. My previous feedback is below and the above feedback overrides the below: I am an occasional customer to Minerva and had been to it for buffet lunch on Jul, 17th. The food was below standard, salty and chicken had almost gone bad. This was pointed by me to the supervisor and informed that this will go on google review.

Food was ok. But very expensive weekend buffet

Food is usually good. Prices are very reasonable compared to other nearby restaurants. 16$ for a buffet doesn’t sound crazy for me where people end up paying 20$ for a goat pulao in nearby Indian restaurants !!! Thursday & Sunday biryani deals are worth trying

Good food and number of options in the buffet

The best Indian food I've ever tasted.

I went to Minerva for a birthday dinner with my family. I recently relocated to New Tampa and have been trying to find a go-to Indian restaurant… this is the one. Incredibly authentic, great food, and servers that treat you like family. We got some somosas to start (veg and goat), and followed it up with a chicken special and goat vindaloo. 10/10 would recommend. Will be back for dinner and excited to try the lunch buffet.

There's not a whole lot of restaurants left where the owner and Chef actually walks the floors at lunch time. This buffet was excellent and well worth the money including the free beer. I can't wait to get hungry again and come back but that might take some time.

Food here is very good! Awesome buffet and it included beer,soda or water.

The Paneer Pakoras are awesome!

Great food... Services friendly.. Atmosphere was amazing...

Amazing restaurant and friendly staff.

excellent.

Great food

Great food with great taste. They have lots of varieties of curry and desserts. Goat curry is outstanding and superb.

Good Food.

Great dishes for Buffet

Excellent food. Great price as well. Very highly recommended.

Very good food. Very nice people. Very clean. Love it here!

Best South Indian place.. food made from scratch.

Best Indian food I have had in long time. Buffet was amazing with many different kinds of foods and so many authentic desserts. Also includes beverage and Chi. Great value for the money. Wish I lived closer.

Food quality is average, buffet would have been much better when we pay $21 for lunch buffet.

Great food! Buffet was exceptional.

Ordered Minerva for takeout. They package it really nicely. The garlic Naan was amazing as was the butter chicken. The Lamb Tikka Masala had a nice spice level. My fiance never had Indian food before and I think he's hooked now. I highly recommend Minerva if you're looking for good quality authentic Indian cuisine!

Very impressed the owner is very friendly and my orders are ready in sooner than the actual times. Very friendly customer service even though lot of places have staffing shortage these days. Will be doing business here more often in eating here. Keep up the good work guys.

It was very good, but there were couple things that caused me to give it a 4. Their Raita is delicious!! We dined at the restaurant.

The food is delicious and the people who work there are all super kind.

Excellent lunch buffet! A wide variety of dishes and sweets with attentive, pleasant staff. Will come again!

Top tier service! I appreciate the time and care they took.Hats off to the entire staff!!!The professionalism is like no other

Delicious food????

Dum Biriyani was good, didn’t like the goat curry much, but overall good experience.

Arrived very late as a solo traveler and found this jewel in front of my hotel. Very attentive service

Excellent as always. I try to visit every week

Loved the food and the appetizers. Food was fresh and tasty, service was amazing. I'll definitely go back.

The presentation on the food we received was crazy good .I highly recommend .

The food is awesome.. check fry was so good, chicken kebab need little bit spicy. The main thing is sweet mango chutney. It's so tasty worth for the money. I tasted all food without wasting a piece

Great lunch buffet with lots of items. Drinks are included! Byrani chicken, butter chicken, tandoori, masala... you name it. Lots of vegetarian options on the buffet as well and awesome desserts like gulob jamun YUM. Friendly staff. Update 2/28/2023 they have raised the lunch price from $13.95 to $16.95. Not sure if I'll be lunching much here at that price.

Best indian buffet I’ve ever been. Fully halal. Very clean. Nicest staff. Tasty. Price is very good too.

The overall food experience was great. I ordered their butter chicken (medium heat) and garlic naan. My boyfriend had the butter chicken (extremely hot), cheese naan, and mango lassi. The service experience was terrible. Our server/busser was rushing us

This is my second visit and o just say it has all the best Indian foods I love to eat. The lunch buffet i worth every Penny and is In expensive to dine, the food is fresh, the atmosphere is pleasant and it even comes with a free drink with meal.

Good buffet with a tasty food. Evrything is spicy though.

The best Indian lunch buffet. Lots of chicken options and a few goat. Plenty of vegetable dishes and a few different rice options. The employees are very friendly and your water will always be full. Atmosphere is nice and quiet and the place is clean. The mango lassi is also delicious for only $4 it’s a large glass.

It was ok for this type of cuisine

I went to the buffet, it was spectacular. Food was great with many choices and more. It was worth the money. Server was attentive, location was clean. Will definitely return back and recommend friends and family

Good one

We decided to give this restaurant another try and they did not disappoint! Food variety is so good and their dishes - especially the Tikka fried fish & Mango Lassi are delicious ??! While the price is a bit steep ($25 per person for the buffet) is truly worth every penny. We go there almost every Sunday now.... Try it.

I was travelling from Orlando to ClearWater beach, and had my lunch here. The buffet is very delicious and wide variety served. Service was commendable and the owner was very friendly.

The goat curry was awesome!! The buffet has a great variety of food!! Must try!!

The menu had a wide variety of options, including vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. I ordered the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan and vegetable samosas. The chicken was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy, and the creamy tomato-based sauce was bursting with flavor. The garlic naan was freshly made and had just the right amount of garlic, while the vegetable samosas were crispy and filled with delicious potato and pea stuffing. The service was exceptional, and the staff was knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations. The waiter was attentive and ensured that all our needs were met throughout the meal.

They need to work on consistency. Sometimes the food is delicious and perfect texture, and sometimes it very runny or thick and taste a bit different.

Average food with bad service. I asked for a drink that was not given until asked again. They forgot to charge for it as well and had to remind again to charge for it.

Food is okay here. Not super exciting but comparatively better than other restaurants. L

This was the best Briyani I ever had it tasted so good

Good food

A perfect place to visit the Indian Cuisine. Especially the Buffet on Saturday and Sunday are very tremendously delicious and a must try food in the locality. I would suggest people who are from USF should visit this place and taste the items they offer. I Love It!!!

Good

Good food with lots of varieties!!

They didn't seem very knowledgeable or communicative of their menu

Home taste

We had a buffet and had a great experience with a basic variety of veg and non veg options .. We don't find seafood in the buffet. They had a Indian beer in their buffet. King fisher, Taj mahal, etc... I really liked the veg pakoras, chilli idly, Gobi Manchurian, noodles.

Dhaba food in Tampa- good mutton keema

Mutton(goat) kheema and kadai was really nice..

Overall good experience. Paneer is frozen so you may avoid it if you dont like it.

I had ordered pure veg food ie,chilly mirchi pakora cut,chilly paneer,paneer kadai and roti..chilli pakora was good very yummy,roti was really good but chilli paneer was not at all good ,it has turmeric in it which does not consider chinese food at all and kadai paneer was tasting like butter paneer masala..disappointed by the paneer dishes and also paneer was not fresh it was rubbery ..staff was good

one of the best indian meals we have had in a while! reasonable prices and a large selection to chose from!

Friendly staff and delicious food! The staff at this restaurant were so friendly and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. I can't wait to come back!

Amazing food, amazing service! I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The food was amazing and the service was top-notch.

Loved it!!!

Incredible dining experience! The presentation of the food was beautiful, and the flavors were out of this world. I can't wait to come back!

Great food, great atmosphere! This restaurant is the perfect place to go for a delicious meal and a great atmosphere. I highly recommend it.

A must-visit! This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking for a great meal. The atmosphere is cozy and the food is amazing.

Yes, Yes, Yes! This place is well patronized for a good reason. All you can eat buffet with beverages (soda and beer) , hot masala tea, and a selection of desserts - all for $20 during lunch…you absolutely cannot go wrong. The buffet changes and food is fresh and authentic. I enjoy eating here solo as a treat to myself!The staff is helpful and friendly. Thank you for being here in the new Tampa area - you are a gem in this community.

Went for Weekend Veg Lunch Buffet , staff and amenities and cleans very good. Starter Ok Main Course Ok Deserts Super Drink’s Super

I've only been here for the lunch buffet, but I've always been happy with the food. What could possibly be better than unlimited Butter Chicken and then some kheer to cool things off afterward? I'm not exactly sure how the pricing works with the buffet, but it seems they have nice selection of beer and wine if you're into that sort of thing.

this place has extremely tasty Indian food honestly probably the best ever i have gotten from a place. the portion sizes are also great it last more than 1 meal. the only reason i am giving 4 stars is because the service, at least for take out, is a little bit off. i called before their lunch break and they said it was ok to order, but when i got there the restaurant looked dead and i had to wait a while for anyone to assist me. even then, they seemed confused and it took a while for them to get me my food. they also forgot silverware. still, their food is really good so i would have to say it is worth it. definitely a little pricey but that is the case with most Indian places. They also gave me a complimentary free dessert of rice pudding which was very nice and tasted good. I like their vegetarian samosas as well.

Nice little Indian restaurant. Good food, good service

Nice place. Very authentic.

Food was food, service was very attentive. We will definitely go back. This may sound a bit harsh but in the service industry interactions matter. I'd suggest the staff to have a little more enthusiasm, they seemed very nice though, maybe just tired. Gobi Manchurian was excellent.

Yummy soup and lamb chops

Food was delicious, many options in their lunch buffet that also include a soda or beer with the price. Price was good. Clean place.

A bit pricy but food seems good.

I've ordered twice via Uber Eats and the food has been excellent. I've also received a freebie in my orders, which was a very nice surprise. Definitely order again.

Indulge yourselves in a mouthwatering Indian buffet with tantalizing freshness & this culinary landscape brings you an exquisite array of flavors & spices . Excellent vegetarian options & beverage included .

Fresh food no matter the hour, great and flavorful man with great portions

I had the Chicken Tikka Masala and it was delicious, very nice place, not crowded and good pricing.

We went for dinner, so there was no buffet. The menu is pretty extensive with a lot of meat and vegetarian options. The vegetable samosas were an excellent appetizer with the couple of sauces that came with them. Tikka masala and mango sauces were rich and delicious. The waitress was friendly and service was quick. The only downside is the hallway to the bathroom is a storage area for beverages.

They have a nice customer service and food taste good

Food was excellent. Wait staff was very enjoyable. Would highly recommend and will be returning!!!

My kids and I went to Minerva and we had a wonderful experience.The food was delicious. The flavors were authentic and well-balanced. The service was excellent. The staff was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was welcoming. The restaurant was clean and well-decorated. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great Indian lunch buffet. I spend around 56$ for the food and tip for 2 adults and 2 years old.

It was great experience. There were five parties visited and had a good experience. The food was very good and the environment was welcoming. The manager - Venkat, was very supportive on our special requests.

We had Minerva cater to our home and the food was amazing and all our guest loved it .. thank you Minerva and your team

I did not liked the taste.

This is the first time we had dinner there. Food was awesome. We have ordered chicken biryani, lamb curry, veg Manchuria, Fish fry, Garlic Naan, Butter Naan, drinks and Mango lassi. Except Manchuria everything was super good. Service was really great. Prices were reasonable. There is lot of space for Parking. Will try again soon.

Good value for money lunch .

Very good food, tried Indian food for the first time and this exceed expectations

Great food!

We love this place! The people who own and work here are super nice! The food is delicious and fresh. We love coming here and eating here! Never had anything here I didn’t love!

Best restaurant in Tampa Bay. The service is impeccable and the manager makes sure you are satisfied. The food is delicious! Best chicken tikka in Florida.

So much flavor in one bite I had the chicken biryani. The owner checked on us to make sure were satisfied and he was very inviting. Waitress was good to us too. Will be back hidden gem.

Very good food, we like to try random restaurants and this trip did not disappoint. Many things that we have never tried before on the buffet.

The food is indian cuisine so you can expect it to go in hot and come out hot?? but besides that its really and flavorful. The service is very nice as always. The atmosphere has improved to be more indian style which makes it more unique. the only problem is that some of the food im not familiar with so I don't know how to eat it but it's not to much of a problem. My favorite was the butter chicken with naan

Terrific buffet with lots of tasty options and a good selection of Indian beer.

Excellent time at Minerva! Food was fresh and prepared in a timely manner. Overall, I will be returning.

Very average food taste. Biryani was so dry and seems not fresh.

I told them that tea is not fresh , they made fresh pot . We also stop this place for lunch or dinner , when we pass through Tampa back to Sarasota.great service

Absolutely incredible lunch buffet with all the options you could ever want. Authentic and filling with a wide variety of flavors and super friendly service. I am only upset that I didn’t find this place sooner! Will be coming here a lot more often now!

Service was great, food was yummy. Prices were okay as well. I recommend.

Alright, I’ll give you five stars. Thanks for the service and extra food,

Nice place for good indian food. Spice level was on point. Everything was delicious.

Good food

Excellent Telugu food. Owner is very generous in providing varieties. I love all the dishes they serve.

Been to Minerva 3-4 years ago & i think it was a way better experience food & ambience-wise. Was craving a good Indian buffet yesterday & after some diligent online research, decided to drive almost an hour to Minerva, based on good recent reviews. The restaurant was busy, but the hostess guided us to an open table quickly. The buffet area is pretty congested & instead of forming a line, people were coming into the buffet from both directions. This made the already congested area even more difficult to maneuver around. Once I finally got to the food, I realized the reason for the unnecessary chaos, was the way food was arranged. It starts with salads->desert->dal & vegetable-> appetizers->rice->non-veg curries. So here’s the problem- no rice/bread placement before the curries & the strange placement of desserts in between the salad & veg dishes. Having to reach over s couple of dishes to get to the rice/breads in a congested space , especially reaching over desserts to get to the savory items, leads to curries unwittingly spilling over the other food in the way. By now, your enthusiasm has died down, and you are frustrated. Also disparate appetizers like samosas, spring rolls etc were all served in one container, which tampers with the individual aromas & flavors. Everything tasted the same ultimately. The bhaturas were pretty tough as opposed to crispy/fluffy. So essentially, food quality was average overall. Nothing stood out. Considering it cost two of us $55 with an additional mango lassi, I felt the buffet at Minerva has a LOT of room to improve. Hope these suggestions will be taken into consideration, and positive changes can be incorporated to make the buffet experience a much more pleasurable experience than it currently is.

Authentic Indian food. Very generous….we asked for dosa and vada in the buffet and they brought us fresh one

Good experience and food was nice.

Good place to have Indian lunch buffet.

Nice ambience, economical Indian food.

I like every dish especially deserts were awesome and had a great time out here.

Everyone come to this restaurant. It’s so nice the food is so delicious. You should come try it. There restaurant is very clean. We came for their buffet and left satisfied and stuffed.

Food was not that much tasty.. The buffet is very expensive and not worth it .. Desserts are very good ??

Since relocating from Northern Virginia, my quest for authentic and delectable Indian cuisine led me to Minerva Tampa. On our first visit, we decided to try the samosas, which were amazing! The accompanying sauces elevated the experience, adding layers of flavor that were both rich and tantalizing. Not only does this place cater to my dietary restrictions (I don't eat meat), but the overall quality of the food is genuinely commendable. The prices are reasonable, making the experience even more enjoyable. I'm eagerly looking forward to trying their buffet soon. If you're in the area and have a penchant for Indian food, Minerva Tampa is a must-visit!

Great food, samosas to start. All dishes were excellent.

The ambience of the restaurant is amazing Staff is really good and helpful I have ordered boneless chicken biryani which is very delicious and mouthwatering. I really enjoyed the food and will be visiting often

Good service.

Best Indian food I have ever tasted in recent times...I enjoyed the food thoroughly and the restaurant ambience was pretty good...I would love to recommend this restaurant in order to experience wonderful Indian food...

I recently dined at Minerva Indian Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by the culinary journey it offered. The chicken tikka masala, chicken biryani and soft paneer cubes were a delightful treat. Paired with a side of crispy garlic naan, it felt like a symphony of flavours in my mouth. The restaurant's decor, adorned with traditional Indian art, added to the immersive experience. The serving staff were attentive and provided excellent recommendations. I'd highly recommend the chicken biryani, goat curry and others for anyone looking for a fragrant and hearty dish. I look forward to revisiting and trying more of their specialties.

Minerva offers an authentic Indian ambience and a diverse menu. The Paneer Tikka and Lamb Rogan Josh stood out, with the garlic naan being a highlight. Vegetarians have ample choices. The staff provides attentive service, ensuring a memorable dining experience. Minerva is a top recommendation for both newcomers and avid Indian cuisine enthusiasts.

Vegetarian friendly! Best butter paneer in Tampa.

I like to have sex with j Luhr and a girl so I can watch as his long white rod goes deeper into the stretch with every thrust as the juice drizzle down her leg Call me any 7274390702

The taste was so good and the hospitality was good would recommend going to this restaurant for sure.

Food is great and staff is good

We had the food delivered. The food was delicious and nothing was spilled. The delivery driver was great!

Good spread of buffet with ample options.. great ambience. Wonderfull service and tasty food

Looking for Indian cuisine in Tampa, begin from here. Thanks!

Minerva Indian Restaurant's lunch buffet is one of the best Indian buffets I've ever been to. The food is always fresh, hot, and delicious, and the selection is incredibly varied. There are dishes to please everyone, from vegetarian to meat-eaters.Some of my favorite dishes on the buffet include the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, vegetable biryani, and naan bread. The food is always flavorful and perfectly cooked. The naan bread is also delicious and always fresh out of the oven.In addition to the great food, the atmosphere at Minerva Indian Restaurant is also very pleasant. The dining room is clean and spacious, and the staff is friendly and attentive. I always have a great dining experience at Minerva Indian Restaurant.I highly recommend Minerva Indian Restaurant's lunch buffet to anyone looking for a delicious and affordable Indian meal.

Awesome Service. Food was little spicy but they changed instantly. Will definitely visit again

Awesome food and awesome service. Loved it!!!

One of our favorite lunch spots!

Sunday lunch buffet. I think the restaurant must have been caught off guard with lots of visitors for lunch. The buffet was consistently empty for certain dishes & food was at average at the most. I have been on other occasions & the food was tasty but last Sunday (11/5/23) was nothing like tasty & empty buffet servings. The waiters were also overwhelmed by consistently clearing the tables off the used dishes & making frantic attempts to get clean plates on the buffet. Bowls were not to be seen & the food arrangement was in reverse. Typically dishes should be placed with entries & not starting at deserts. Lastly, masala tea was empty to the most part & coffee had bean flakes. Eventually when tea came up, it tasted a mix of coffee. I am sure someone mixed the coffee dispenser with the tea dispenser during refill. On the restaurant defense, I would say they were caught unaware with so much public flocking in for lunch & hence the average to below average food taste that was either too dry or missing from the buffet. May give it another try on a different day with the hope of better quality & lesser traffic.

Excellent food

Really good goat curry. The goat biriyani was decent, there could have been a higher level of spiciness to it and less star anise. Good mango lassi also but the butter chicken needed a bit more creamy flavor, not bad at all but just not as rich as I've grown accustomed to. This was the buffet that I tried for the first time and it was good overall. The made to order dishes may probably have more flexibility for spice level since the buffet is made more to please more palettes. Overall a solid B if I had to give a grade.

Saw the ad in Khaasbat; my husband (he’s from South India) and I have been looking for quality biriyani for a couple months in SWFL— we were thrilled to find such a great value with high quality! We’d love to come back when we’re next in the Tampa area.

Always so good. Love the lunch special buffet that they have every day! They separate vegetarian from meat which is highly appreciated!!! Definitely recommend!

Great food, big servings, and lots of flavor.

Good foood n no of items are high

Enjoyed the chips and accompanying sauces. Portions are sizeable but did not enjoy our entrees. We ordered butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. Service was lacking. We ordered a starter but entrees came out before. We finished our entrees when I asked I was told that they ran out of the appetizer and were in the process of making more, which is why there was a delay. Would have liked to have been asked if we still wanted it after finishing our entrees…instead of assuming we’d still want it.

Placed $50+ of food for delivery at 5:15pm. Estimated delivery was 5:55pm but unfortunately arrived at 6:48pm. The upshot? The manager delivered and offered a discount on my next order. I appreciate the effort to remedy.

I visited this place on my trip to Florida! I was surprised at the buffet selection, there were so many options that you can choose! Veggies, no-veg, desserts! By far the most enriched menu I’ve ever seen in any Indian buffet! The food was good too! And all that for a very reasonable price! We were greeted by this amazing young lady who helped us with everything we needed! The servers we’re responsive, respectful and very friendly! We loved the experience! Definitely be back next time we’ll be in the area!

We went for the lunch time buffet and found the food good and tasty. They now include unlimited soda and beer with the buffet price

i got my food to go and thought the butter chicken was quit pricey, they did give you a lot for what you paid for. the garlic naan was absolutely delicious, especially when dipped in the chicken. i got a whole container of complimentary rice a long with some rice pudding as well!

We just had a dinner at Minerva.food was delicious n priced very reasonably.The best was Onion pakora.

Amazing food as always, come her for the lunch buffet and it is always filling and fresh food.

good food, can be more tasty. the buffet is alright but the big issue was cleanliness. there were flies all over the place and they could have made the whole thing more clean and sanitary. i hope the next time i try the buffet the food will be more vibrant and i wont see a single fly.

The servers were lovely and gave our party some great suggestions.

great food. Overpriced service fee.

This restaurant has a great lunch buffet which includes sofa, beer and tea. For $21, it's a great deal when including the drinks. I'm just a water drinker though, so I would prefer a cheaper buffet with no drinks included. They had a decent amount of choices and the food was good. The vegetable korma was very different than other restaurants I've been to more like a curry, than a creamy sauce. I love the veg briyani. There were a lot of people so the food was fresh.

The taste was average. Though it is a budget friendly restaurant, i prefer to taste over money. The bhature was very, very oily, which left a bad after taste of oil. The taste of Dal makhni was blunt. Yet you can give it a go once, seeing whether it suits your taste buds. Atmosphere was good, beat, clean and consumer-friendly. A good looking restaurant indeed.

Friendly staff, great food, awesome price. Probably the best Indian food in the area. We will be back!

I highly recommend this place. The taste of the food is for real Indian food, was amazing. We introduced Indian food to some relatives and they loved the food. On top of it, the service was amazing. Our server was great, he was so helpful, nice, and professional! Other two people went couple of times to check on us. We really enjoyed the place !

Extensive menu, very reasonably priced with large portions. Happy hour prices for domestic and some imported beers $1. Most importantly, the food was delicious.

It was a friendly family atmosphere. Being a little picky, the floor by the bathrooms were very slippery. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Went for the Lunch buffet and it was delicious!! Great service, great food and very friendly. Definitely recommend coming.

Minerva was excellent! First time trying, we will definitely be back! Went in for dinner, had the chicken tikka masala and the lamb vindaloo along with chili naan and butter naan. The food was incredible and came out very fast and piping hot, absolutely wonderful. Service was very attentive, to the point that our water glasses never even went below halfway empty before we were asked if we would like a refill. Wasn’t an especially busy dine-in night, but takeout orders were coming in consistently - we were seated at the front, and could see how fast staff was able to turn out the pickup food, quite impressive given the volume! And our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and allergen information, and the kitchen was incredibly accomodating to prevent any cross-contamination as well - very grateful! Also, our waitress was able to provide suggestions and ensure the spice level was exactly what we wanted for each dish — just a great local business, all around!

Everything here at the buffet is awesome. I was shocked to pay $50 for 2 at the buffet for lunch. I won't be coming back for the buffet. Maybe order off the menu.

I live just a while away of where this restaurant is located, and I really love coming to get food here. Without a doubt, Minerva Indian Restaurant is one of the best authentic cuisines in the Tampa Metro Area, I order food here about every month or so and I have never had one bad experience here ever. The food is great, the menu is diverse, and the service is really good. I've not tried the buffet yet but it looks like it has many good options as well, my favorite items from this place are the Biryanis (most of them I've tried are amazing), the Dal Makhani, and the Garlic Naan is a must. I'd also recommend getting the Chicken 65 Biryani as it has the very delicious boneless and spiced Chicken 65, In fact, when I do the Biryani platter, usually Chicken 65 is the go-to for me. Minerva Indian Restaurant is awesome and you should definitely try it if you are visiting or live in the New Tampa/North Tampa Metro area!

Great taste, authentic Indian food. Our server Sai provided good service during understaffed hours on new years day.

staff here was so attentive and polite. food was delicious and the menu has such a large and promising variety all at fair prices. Exceeded my expectations and definitely will be coming back!

First time trying this place and Indian food, and I loved it. Very friendly staff and great food selection on the lunch buffet.

Decent dosas and attentive staff.

Five stars shine brightly for Minerva Indian Restaurant. From the aromatic spices to the impeccable presentation, every dish tells a tale of culinary mastery and a commitment to a delightful dining experience

Minerva has been our favorite Indian restaurant for the past 3 years. We especially love the lunch buffet! The food is always fresh, hot and delicious. I also enjoy their Indian spiced tea (chai). The service is always great as well.

We ordered a large order yesterday and it was mostly good. Not great but good. Except my palak paneer. I ordered mild it wasn’t and it was so salty I couldn’t eat it. I had my daughter try to see if perhaps it was me but she agreed. Salt yuk. Unfortunately we didn’t out and I was out of luck for my dinner.

love their biriyani

Love coming here! This is a regular for us and we often bring friends. The food is always amazing and fresh! Such a great experience!

Minerva Indian Restaurant is a culinary gem, offering a rich tapestry of Indian flavors; the attention to detail in both taste and presentation is commendable.

There's great food and wonderful service. If you ask for something that they're out of they will make it fresh.

I absolutely LOVE this place that I actually drive 45 miles each way just to have eat their buffet as well hey have such a wide selection of foods !

I recently dined at Minerva Indian restaurant that truly exceeded my expectations in every way. The variety of food offered was exceptional, featuring an extensive menu that catered to both traditional Indian cuisine lovers and those looking to explore more contemporary dishes. Every dish I tried was bursting with flavor, perfectly spiced, and presented beautifully, showcasing the chef's attention to detail and expertise in Indian cooking. The service was equally impressive, with attentive and friendly staff who made the dining experience even more enjoyable by ensuring all our needs were met promptly.

I recently visited this restaurant and it is really good and value for money, I don't know the person's name who was sitting in the cashier's place, he is a pro at convincing the customers. I will be back to this restaurant.

I've done dine in and take out and the food is delicious and the price point is great.The quantity and quality that you receive is top tier. If you do UberEats they have buy one get one free options that are top tier. The food is on the very spicy side so just be mindful of that when ordering. Otherwise it's amazing and I regularly get food from there.

It was a Monday evening, slow when we arrived and quickly got very busy. Understaffed with only one server. There was another man which didn't really do much but look around and bring one carry out order to the table by the door. The one server was just left to handle it all. We waited for a long time to get a to go box and the check, after we had waived him down. I was charged for $3.95 for a guava juice I never got. I paid it to avoid waiting any longer. Other diners were also getting frustrated as they were waiting on one person. The garlic naan was good, the chicken biryani was good. The chicken tiki masala and veggie samosas were spicy. Will not be returning.

Food was amazing. Service was the best service we have had in a long time! Our server Manoj gave us excellent recommendations, and we had the best time. One of the best restaurants in Jacksonville!!

We recently placed Catering Order and food quality (and quantity) was great. All the guests loved the food. Service was good! Price was very reasonable! We are very pleased with the service provided.

Delicious, flavorful and always a variety fresh and great food for vegans and vegetarians.

Minerva Indian Restaurant offers a delightful culinary experience with authentic flavors and attentive service. The dishes are prepared with care, and the ambiance is inviting. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious Indian cuisine.

First time here with a large party--food was excellent. Getting our food did take a little longer than expected, however it was worth the wait because it was so good and it's made to order. The staff there was very pleasant.

This is the best Indian food in the Tampa area.

Great place, we enjoyed ourselves. Manoj was a great server.

Perfect place

First time here , great food very friendly staff

Great buffet, with good options for vegetarians as well! Desserts were a highlight for me!

Awesome ambience! Will give the feeling you are in a restaurant in India

Amazing Indian food especially if you are vegetarian

Great dine in experience

Good food. Amazing ambience

Very tasty buffet, clean, and nice atmosphere. Would highly recommend!

Minerva Indian Restaurant offers a delightful culinary experience with its authentic flavors and impeccable presentation. The rich and vibrant dishes truly capture the essence of Indian cuisine, making it a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts. Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience

Went here the other day and was not disappointed. The Medium spice level could have been spicier, but otherwise it was great! Friendly staff as well.

Best Indian food !!

Used this restaurant for our wedding food catering and it was delicious! Great service and so yummy

This was the best Indian food I’ve ever had hands-down. I’ve eaten in a lot of places in different cities and genuinely this was the best. Usually when I eat alone, I watch a TV show or movie. I texted my wife that I had to stop watching. The show was interrupting how much I was enjoying the flavor of the food. It was the food version of turning down the radio so that you can see the road better. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!

I LOVE this food! I recently made a huge order for 7 people and they made it for pickup in record time. It was hot and delicious and carefully packed. We were able to easily lay out the spread once home and everyone really enjoyed. I would recommend this spot for delicious authentic food for small orders or large orders the food is always consistent and piping hot. They have excellent veggie options, gluten free options and vegan options!! Our gests with different dietary restrictions were all happily satisfied and couldn't stop raving about the flavors!

Great food and great service!

Very delicious

Really good food, great atmosphere, really good service

My recent visit to Minerva was an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The ambiance was inviting, setting the perfect tone for an authentic Indian dining experience. The menu offered a diverse selection of dishes, each bursting with rich flavors and meticulously prepared to perfection. I especially enjoyed their [signature dish], which was a true culinary masterpiece. The attentive staff ensured that every need was catered to, enhancing the overall dining experience. Without a doubt, Minerva has set the standard for Indian cuisine in Tampa. I can't wait to return and indulge in more of their delectable offerings!

Amazing food and excellent service. I'm sure glad I went.

Lunch buffet was delicious and a good value.

Excellent service

I very much enjoyed the delicious taste and authentic Indian flavours The buffet is varied and worth trying The sweets are very delicious Thank you all My second visit to the restaurant Thank God, it was wonderful and delicious ???? Indian dishes and very delicious flavors Thank you all

They had a great sauce selection. The hot sauce pictured in the silver bowl on the buffet was my favorite. The paneer was Delicious. This buffet includes Soda and Buffet. I am visiting from Atlanta and I am glad I stopped by here. I did have to wait a few minutes at the door to be seated but they staff apologized for the wait and it was worth it. Shukriyah!

this place is AMAZING. great food, friendly staff, and $1 wine/beers all day, every day. I will be back the next time i’m in town!

Excellent paneer, butter chicken, and service

I only get take out and each time it is sooo good. If you’re looking for a place to chow down, this is it. The portion sizes are solid and the little complimentary sides they include make my heart especially full. 10/10 recommend.

Taste is not good. Poori is not real Poori. Rava Dosa is really not good. If you want to try real South Indian food, Please try somewhere else in Tampa area

Ordered to go, they had some amazing BOGO deals, portions were very generous, great taste, def my favorite Indian food spot

Got this delivered on our first night in Tampa. Pretty good Indian food. I got the naan which was standard and the paneer tikka adn palak paneer. Both really good, appropriate level of spice. They gave us saffron rice with the order which was delicious. Would definitely recommend. ONLY Feedback: please do not use the plastic containers for delivery--those cause plastic leaching into food. Aluminum containers are safer.

Beautiful experience every time. Timely service & exceptionally fresh food. I always can turn a bad day around with some of their savory samosas. Love the complimentary dessert with each meal as well ?? highly recommend

Didn't like their business practice. They have a lunch buffet for 21$ and find it reasonable with what they offer. On top of it, they charge a forced 18% service fee/tax or as a tip. I believe tip is supposed to be customery. I don't understand why the service fee is when it is Buffet. Hoping this feedback helps them

I recommend this restaurant.

Excellent variety of Indian food in the Buffet. Reasonable prices.

Tasty food and even left us a suprise dessert in the bag. Just wish I knew I just had to grab my takeout when I got there, instead of waiting for someone to help me. But that could have been my fault, idk, food is tasty

Amazing place delicious food and staff is very nice and lunch buffet is the best, I recommend 100% for family and friends gatherings

I LOVE Indian food but our family gave this place two chances and it just didn’t do it for us. The food was fine. Not great, and certainly not worth the price IMO.

Tried egg biryani, looks authentic.

We love to stop here on trips home from out of state that take us back down the east coast. We did this tonight arriving around 6:40 PM and service was excellent, as we have always experienced. The host promptly sat the three of us and I believe Vick greeted us at the table with hello friends and took our orders. He was very pleasant and seemed sincere in his attitude and demeanor. Drinks, arrived quickly followed by our food which was delicious. I had lamb vindaloo very, very, very, very hot as the spice level and was very happy with it. This is what I have had there on my visits over the last three years and it is consistent and very good. I do not really know what the other two dishes were called, one was peas and mushrooms and the other was a creamy paneer dish which I was told were delicious by the people eating those. We will be back again when in the area.

This place has a nice lunch buffet. The food was good and the table service was great! We will definitely be repeat customers.

It was my first time trying this place and Indian food, and I absolutely loved it. The staff was very friendly, and the lunch buffet had a great selection of dishes.

The Tandoori Chicken was cooked to perfection, and the Goat Korma had a perfect blend of spices. The Palak Paneer was smooth and rich, and the Garlic Naan was soft with just the right amount of garlic.

The chicken biryani was bursting with flavor in every bite. The owner personally checked on us and was very welcoming, and the waitress provided excellent service. It’s a hidden gem that we’ll definitely return to.

The goat korma was tender and bursting with rich flavors. The spices were perfectly balanced, making every bite a delight. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes!

The tandoori chicken was cooked to perfection, with a beautiful char and juicy inside. The blend of spices was spot on, making it one of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend!

Tandoori chicken was succulent and bursting with flavor. The charred edges added a delightful texture that complemented the juicy meat. A definite favorite!!

Palak paneer here is absolutely amazing. The spinach is fresh and the paneer is so soft. It's a delightful and healthy option that I thoroughly enjoyed.Thank U

Great lunch buffet Comes with drinks

The goat korma at Minerva Indian Restaurant is simply the best. It’s rich, flavorful, and perfect for dinner.

Breakfast at Minerva is a treat with their delicious palak paneer. It’s creamy and well-seasoned.

Probably the best Indian food I’ve ever had. The garlic naan was warm and had the perfect amount of crisp. The chicken tikka masala was cooked with tons of spices and PERFECT!! Def my new go to spot for Indian food.
