My all time favorite Indian food restaurant. Love their lunch buffet! Love their garlic naan, chai tea and mango lassi. Very easy to eat gluten free there, if needed. Every item we've tried on the menu is flavorful and rich and comforting. It's 45 minutes away from where we live but if we're going out for Indian food we always head to Seva!
The food is delicious and the paratha is unparalleled. The owner is authentic and gracious, it was refreshing. She made it a point to include menu items for all: vegan, vegetarian, omnivore, celiac. This is a must try and you will be back for the good vibes and the excellent food.
I've never had Indian before so my daughter and I had no idea what we'd like, but the staff was super courteous and gave us stellar suggestions that we ended up loving! I got the chicken Tikka Masala and it was one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten, and everything was gluten free! We will definitely be back!
I love this place! Having to stick to gluten and dairy free food can be tough to still eat out and find awesome food. Highly recommend the Dosa Roll with Chettinad Chicken and Tandoor Mayo.
Ordered takeaway for lunch and SO glad I did! Paneer Tiki Masala, Naan, and OMG the fried Papadum!!! Shared with a gluten free office mate and she's hooked! Thanks for being awesome!
I absolutely love this place! The buffet is a great way to try out a variety of delicious flavors. I love that nearly everything is gluten free, and that there are both meat and vegetarian options. I can’t choose just one favorite dish! I loved them all. If you come, you might consider putting on your best pair of stretchy pants, because you’ll want to try it all!
Friendly staff whom accommodated some of our party’s gluten free restrictions. Very good food and service. One added bonus is one of us forgot our wallet and our waiter ran outside to let us know.
Highly recommend this establishment.
A very pleasant restaurant with very delicious food with many gluten-free options. My chicken curry was very spicy, as promised. The garlic naan was delightfully crispy and very tasty. The mango lassi was perfect and the rice that came with the chicken curry was a silent secret weapon, full of flavor which perfectly complemented the curry chicken I piled upon. A minor plus: the music was definitely a step up versus similar establishments. My spouse had the chicken saag and loved it so much she had no interest in my dish. She looks forward to leftovers for tomorrow and at work on Monday.
#EDITED# They served my drink way before lunch was served. It was a little watered down by then, but it was OK. I finished it halfway through my meal and I guess there is no refills. Which is fine, as it is probably just an American thing. However my wife just revealed to me our server stood right behind me the whole time watching us eat. She said she thought he was showing how attentive he was, and there didn't seem to be a negative intention, but if the server doesn't refill drinks or serve any other function throughout the meal, then standing there did nothing but made the experience awkward for her. Still great food though. Worth trying. Hopefully it was just a one time "hover" experience.

The food is very good. They always have excellent lunch buffets and the dinner menu has a wide selection of excellent dishes!! They also are vegan friendly and gluten free!!
To start, the hostess was very warm, welcoming and friendly. Excellent service, as a cook myself I can truly appreciate this. Thank you, all of you, for your amazing work.
Where do I start on the food??? My spouse and I got the buffet and it absolutely blew me away how filling and healthy the options were. They were fresh and delicious too. They are very careful to not cross-contaminate the buffet with allergens (some items do contain wheat/gluten, but that's a given, she was very informative and helpful.)
My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach, I had more food on my second trip than my body knew what to do with. I felt incredible letting myself indulge in the delightful vegetarian options they had.
We left full of protein, rice, and spice. Totally satisfied and full for the rest of the night. You'll definitely see more of us. Outstanding job! :)
I had the tikka with lamb, naan, and rice. I am supposed to stay away from gluten and dairy, but I will do it for Indian food, and this is the best I have ever had. It takes 20 minutes to get your food because it is literally made to order. The staff is super friendly and hospitable.
The service was second only to the food. Our server was so kind and helpful, my daughter is celiac and the owner himself came to our table and helped us decide on a meal best for her allergy. He made rounds around the restaurant to ensure all the customers were happy.
The food was so delicious. We ordered a beef/rice/ chicken tikka dish, chicken kabobs, and qabuli pulao. The Kheer/rice pudding and the baklava are both very good too.
We’ll be back for sure. What a nice business.
Hands down best Indian food around. Gluten free options. And if you aren't accustomed to their authentic level of spice you can easily request mild or medium hottest for your dish.
During our overnight stay in Columbia we went down town to the college area. Looking for a little adventure with dinner yet keeping to the GF menus. Everything on the menu except the breads were gluten free. Instead of dredging and frying, the foods were marinated with spices. All meats and vegetables as well as soups were gluten free. A mass selection of chicken beef seafood and lamb with various degrees of spice.

The food was delicious! Everything is gluten free except the bread. The butter chicken had a perfect flavor balance. A bit pricey, but it is the loop, so I understand. Also, they didn’t have a wait! Perfect!
