Good food and no wait. The restaurant is nicely decorated and very clean. The beef curry and parrotta were delicious!

Santoor has the best weekend lunch buffet. They offer a great variety of dishes that caters to all palates. My family members are meat eaters, and they look forward to delectable favorites like butter chicken, the mixed grill, chicken curry, and the goat biriyani. They also love the fluffy naan. I eat mostly plant-base with some seafood. There are always more than enough choices for me as well: chana masala, sambar, aviyal, and shrimp mango curry, for example. I love that they have crispy pappadam (for those who are gluten free) and all the condiments, including chutneys. Usually I can never eat dessert at Indian buffets because it always has dairy. Santoor did a fruit salad dessert that had a mango (non-dairy) base.. see photo!! Love this place.

Hands down, the best Indian Buffet there is! I've been going to Santoor for decades...even through multiple owners the one thing that hasn't changed is how great the food is! Santoor is staple of Floral Park, and "home" to so many of us that grew up in the neighborhood...who then made it a spot people would travel for! I don't know that I've ever had a bad dish here. I've been here for take out, dine in, buffet, and countless parties, including my parents' 25th Wedding Anniversary! (It was a surprise...the bigger surprise came the following month when they realized we, my brother really, charged it all to their credit card! lol) If you like Indian food, particularly buffets, you have to try Santoor!

I finally visited this local spot walking distance from home ... twice. I was informed that this restaurant is now under new management. First time: Lunch box special During my lunch break when I worked from home, I walked to the restaurant and ordered the lunch box special. Their lunch special ends at 3 or 3:30pm. I recall going towards the last hour of lunch. The manager helped me order my dish by recommending the goat curry lunch box ($12). The lunch box was a great bargain for the price because it lasted me through dinner. The bento box had a side of chana and goat curry, which was flavorful, spicy yet bony (less meat and bones). The naan was perfect for dipping into the sauces. The dessert also hit the spot. Second time: Weekend buffet ($16.95) After attending Sunday mass, I wanted to try the Indian buffet. The timing was perfect because the place opened up so I knew the food was hot and fresh. The dishes usually change depending on the day. This day the restaurant had salad and soup, which I didn't take so I filled my plate with a piece of cod fish fritter, tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, fish korma (salmon was used), goat curry, paneer and spinach, potato masala, naan and rice pudding. Since my plate was filled with carbs I can't get a second plate. Overall everything tasted good. I also ordered the mango lassi which was amazing. My favorite was the goat curry, paneer and spinach dish, rice pudding, and mango lassi. A great place to explore and get a tasting of various Indian dishes. I've have great experiences so far, they also have cocktails, but that would have to wait. It's good to know that I have a spot to go to closer to home.
