The Lion Indian Cuisine

The food was really good! Everything felt fresh, although it could've been slightly warmer. The meatballs, saag paneer, and cabbage masala were some of my favorite dishes, but everything was honestly so good. If you don't like spicy food, then this is the spot for you! Nothing was spicy, but it was seasoned well. The service was nice and the inside was clean and well kept. Overall, definitely one of the best Indian buffets in SATX

I have had some bad experiences with curry and have avoided curry for a very long time. I was very impressed with many of the options. I almost sampled everything they had out. This place has restored my confidence in curry and now I have a few places that are closer to home that I want to try out. I now have a good place to compare to.Service was great. They visited our table several times for refills and to take away used plates. TVs around the place were playing videos of how foods were made. Place was half full and didn't sound loud at all.

Had a craving for some Indian food recently. After seeing such positive reviews, I figured I'd give this place a try. I was considering the buffet, but my wife didn't want to eat at the restaurant, so we ordered for pickup and planned to try the buffet another time. I placed our order online and was advised it would be ready in 30 minutes. I decided on the Lions Appetite so I could sample several items. After a brief drive, I arrived and had no problem finding parking. I got a whiff of some spices as I walked to the door. Thought that was a promising sign. The gentleman who greeted me was friendly and had my order ready to go. The place seemed a bit small on the interior but the buffet area was taking up space. The bar was nicely stocked. The amount of food provided was nice, as I had enough leftover for another meal. The highlights of the meal was the tandoori chicken, boti kebab, nan and rice. I've had better sag paneer at other Indian restaurants, and the chicken tikka masala was a little too "soupy" imo. There seemed to be an absence of spice as well. After reading all the reviews, I was expecting better. This was not on the same level of other Indian restaurants I've tried. I will give them another try in the future. Perhaps I will have better luck by sampling more items from their buffet.

If you can't afford a plane ticket to NYC's Curry Row in the East Village, just come to The Lion Indian Cuisine. I ate the buffet here for lunch and was super impressed with the quality of their food! It's comparable to NYC! Definitely the best Indian food I've had in all of SA! Everything is so fresh and beautifully aromatic that your tastebuds will thank you profusely! The servers greet you with a smile and provide great customer service. What a gem!

First let's start with the beer. Most excellent that an Indian restaurant has Indian beer. So that is a plus. Now moving on to the papadum. Fast, hot and superior. The service was right there when I needed it with a great attitude but let's concentrate on the rest of the food. Did I say superior before? It is the only word I can describe the whole menu. Absolutely perfect Indian food. If you have not gone here before and you think the place you normally go to has it going on, well they might but this place is better. Try it out and be surprised by the great easy going atmosphere, the cooked to perfection food and all at a very decent not to break the bank price. 5 out of 5 stars!!! Why are you still reading this? Go get some superior Indian food from this place now!

Delicious clean buffet. Friendly staff. Also order from menu. Did he buffet as a group- had a great time! Glad to have Indian food on outer west side of San Antonio

Took my husband here for his first Indian food experience. We got the lions feast with a bit of everything. Everything had so much flavor! We both wish that it was a bit spicier but maybe we should have specified that when ordering. And the naan was sooo good!There was no one else there when we came in on a weekday evening, which was odd because they're usually busy. Service was friendly and fast. Overall a good spot with authentic flavors. Pretty good option for first timers too since they have bundles with a bit of everything to try. Definitely recommend!

The best food ever . And really good service for everyone that comes to eat their everyone come to The Lion Indian Cuisine.

I've never had Indian food in my life and coming to Lion Indian was a win for trying Indian food for the first time! I went ahead and got tried the buffet to try a little of everything. OMG everything I tried was delicious! It did not disappoint at all. The dessert were delicious and my favorite was the mango custard. The service was quick and the ambiance was chill. It looks like it's locally owned and you can taste it in the food that's it's fresh and made with lots of care. I would totally come again!

The food here is AMAZING. The folks that work there are very nice and attentive. The restaurant is cozy. Do yourself a favor and eat here!
