Every dish is full of flavor, so fresh, and perfectly prepared. The servers are friendly and helpful. The 65 Chicken Biryani is highly recommended with a generous amount of tender Tandoori chicken pieces. Garlic Naan is excellent and we really enjoyed the Tandoori Lamb Chops served with rice and assorted vegetables. Can't wait to try more of their menu!

10/10. Food is delicious and the server was lovely. I only got photos of the appetizers. The main entrees smelled so good, we just dug in. I recommend the Paneer 65 for an app. Think paneer pakora, but with a flavorful, spicy twist. My only regret is not ordering more food. We'll definitely be back again.

Dropped our granddaughter off with her uncle for the weekend and this was a spur of the moment lunch decision... An excellent decision. Spacious, immaculate dining area, pleasant service and a large menu with something for everyone (especially my vegetarian wife.) The music was a little loud and weird (covers of contemporary music all to a dance beat) but it had sort of a resort vibe so all good. The food was fantastic! We will definitely visit again when we're in Buffalo.

I visited Nellai Banana Leaf in Buffalo and really enjoyed the food. The taste was fresh and authentic, just like real South Indian home food. The portions were good and the staff were friendly. I especially liked the dosa and biryani. overall it is one of the best Indian restaurants in Buffalo. I will definitely come back again!
