When you first enter into the House of India on Delmar Boulevard, you are pleasantly greeted by smiling faces and cheerful, welcoming words. As you are escorted to your table you cannot help but notice how so much attention has been given to making the atmosphere reminiscent of a cozy little dining place in India, with intriguing cultural decor, warm colorful tones, very comfortable seating choices (tables or booths), and crisp white linen tablecloths all around. But this is only the beginning of what will be a memorable fine dining experience for everyone in your party! House of India offers a wide variety of choices of delicious tastes of India, always prepared with the highest quality ingredients, freshest spices, and they take great pride following the traditional cooking techniques a discriminating diner of Indian cuisine will come to expect and appreciate here on their many future visits! The Mulligatawny is outstanding with a perfect balance of flavors to prepare your tastebuds for the next course! If you want to try a carefully chosen sampling of several different dishes to share with another dining guest, I highly recommend the "dinner for two", which is not only delicious, but offers a portion size that is more than generous, and you will almost certainly want to bring some home for a great lunch or dinner the next day! This meal, very reasonably priced, is served complete with an appetizer, choice of soup, freshly baked naan bread, a generous platter of fire roasted meats, seafood, and grilled vegetables, several other accompanying flavorful dishes, a tempting choice of dessert, and a freshly brewed Chai, tea, or coffee! And if you have some other specific favorite entrée in mind, they will probably have that, too. One more thing I can promise you, should you decide to visit the House of India...you will be very glad you came, and you will definitely look forward to coming back again!

The whole buffet was pretty awful. I only ate cause I was hungry. The dessert I ordered---normally the best thing ever-- Gulab Jamun was awful and I didn't eat it. It's worth the extra cash to go to India's Rasoi

The biryani doesnot look like biryani. It looks like rice and currry mashed up together. Dissapointed.

I'd rank this one 4.5 out of 5.0. It's by far the best Indian food in the Saint Louis area. For about $8.96 (includes tax) at lunchtime you can have the all you can eat buffet!!! It's really great. I stock up on the cantaloupe, and the curry chicken dish, which can't be beat. The buffet also has lots of rice, and pita bread, which is great for dipping into the curry chicken sauce, and tons of other stuff. They also have chicken tandouri, which is really cute on the drumbsticks of chicken- the little legs. They've also got quite a nice selection of alcoholic beverages, if you like that kinda thing. The atmosphere is really nice, it's white table cloth, with white paper on top; so it's kid friendly, you could have them scribble with crayons on the paper over the table while you eat! This is one of my favourites, it should be revisited more often. Service is attentive and friendly, good parking too.

This business owner wants to earn American Dollars but working environment is like in India. Only one guy who washes dish was an American. Others were students. I worked $4/hour. What an abuse. People writing about nice food on front but truly nobody know the truth. These kind of business only promote individual wealth and merely help others life. I still remember those days.
