The food was absolutely disgusting. I love Indian food and I have never tasted anything this bad in my life. How is this place in business and serving the public such horrible food. If there was a way to give Zero stars, I would definitely not give them any. 1 star is being VERY VERY NICE, they don’t deserve it. I am visiting from out of town and I was expecting some delicious food. And got the worst food EVER! It’s in the trash right now because I couldn’t stand the smell of it and it tasted terrible! I wouldn’t even feed anything so bad to my dog. When I walked in I only saw 2 people dining in and that was my cue to RUN BACK OUT THE DOOR, but no I stayed and wasted my money. I wish I could get my money back!! The credit card machine ran out of paper and the dude washing dishes came up front to fix the machine, how tacky! I want the World Wide Web to know about this place and PLEASE do not wast your time or money on this trash.

My co-workers and I loved this place because we didnt know what the foods were called, but we knew what we liked the taste of, so the weekday lunch buffet was a perfect chance to sample everything at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, when they re-opened the buffet they made it Saturday only. My co-workers and I are not in the area on Saturday. So, this is just another expensive, order off the menu Indian restaurant now. A sad decision that I hope they will reverse some day.

Had lunch buffet on a Saturday with family. Everyone liked the food and service. I dont know the names of food I ate but liked the taste. Will come again.

Me and my fiancé ate at Poona Indian restaurant and it was his first experience with Indian food. The service was absolutely amazing and the restaurant was so beautiful you felt like you stepped into someone’s home and they was so friendly and inviting. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving good authentic Indian food and a friendly atmosphere.

Perhaps one of the tastiest Indian meals I have had in many, many years. My first time. I shall be back for sure!

Very good food. They provide lunch buffet on weekend these days. The price is $12.95. The fish and lamb are very delicious. But one customer didnt wear mask and walked inside the restaurant. One customer didnt wear mask when catching food from buffer area. The waitress and the boss should remind that customer to wear mask to keep everyone safe. But they did nothing.

A family favorite. We love the weekend lunch buffets! This place is family owned, and they treat you like a part of the family here. With thoughtful touches like a tea station, sides and plenty of different types of fresh chutney to make the meal perfect, this is one of the best Indian spots in Atlanta. The food is not too greasy, with plenty of vegetarian options in an ambience that’s classic and comfortable.

Great food, great service and atmosphere. I always get the feeling that the staff sincerely wants you to have the best experience possible. Really great and warm people! The flavors are more subtle than most Indian restaurants so if you need a shotgun blast of spices in your mouth this isnt the place for you. But I like variety. I mean I love Indian food, but I dont always need to taste it 5 hours after Ive eaten.

Ordered meals for the family and expected to get the free large samosas based on the special listed on the website (spend over $34.99 - which we did). They were not added to our bag. Aloo Gobi was pretty oily. Also, recommend getting at least medium spice to get more flavor, we called and they recommended mild because even he thinks the food is too hot mild is kind of flavorless. The Eggplant bharta was good. Wish the food also came with naan rather than only rice.Probably wont return.

Very good food.Service is great.Overall clean place.Highly recommend for any party/gathering.

Had a relatively quiet group there for the Sunday buffet. Was very comfortable, food was very fresh, nice selection of meats and veggies. Pleasant wait staff and very helpful and attentive !!

Such nice servers!!!!! Great food!

The quality of the food here is absolutely divine. The best Indian food around town. I usually get medium spicy, and its at a comfortable level. The dishes have rich flavor and the portions are adequate. I would give it more stars if I could.

The buffet I thought was amazing! Will definitely be back next Saturday...

Today I placed my first order. Everything is delicious and the customer service is great! I had a large order so they brought my food out to the car. My family loves it and I will definitely order more food soon.

This place is delicious. Good amount of spice, nice variety on the lunch buffet, beautiful restaurant, and wonderful service. It felt like I was dining with old friends. I cant recommend this place highly enough.

Sooooo good 👍 this is my first time trying Indian cuisine and let me say I am beyond satisfied! I ordered the Saag Paneer & it was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Their Gulab Jamun is a delicious dessert as well, I’ve never had anything like it. I highly recommend 👍

The food is delicious. The restaurant is clean and roomy. The service is good.

Great service. The owner Faqroot himself was servicing us and he treated us so well and the food was excellent as well!!!

I’ve been thinking about my last meal from Poona and since then I wake up craving it and I think about the food throughout the day. So flavorful and delicious and exotic! Perfectly spicy!!! Yum!! And Such nice service!

The food is so good, and the owners are friendly people who truly want their customers to have a good dining experience.

Good food but their salad needs major improvement, who gives 80% zokini in the salad? You basically eating raw zokini.

They are very friendly and good with kids!!! The food is always delicious and I will continue to dine here with my family and recommend to anyone with a taste for great food and service.

Food is good. Only happened is that they dont follow COVID-19 regulations for a buffet restaurant. Mean no face mask no gloves.... so pleople spit on the food went they serve onw selfs.

Very, very,VERY nice staff. Our Mexican server was excellent and super attentive and hospitable. A manager or perhaps the owner continually checked on us during our meal, so I would have to give them 5 starts if just scoring the the customer service. The two stars only reflects our opinion of the dishes we tried that are named below.Now, Ive been enjoying Indian food since my days in college 25 years ago. Not only did I have a few close Indian friends, but there were many small indian restaurants in the Philly University CIty area around U Penn serving the Indian faculty and students, as well as others in the know. After college I returned home to NYC where one can find many good (and bad) Indian restaurants with most of the questionable ones actually being Bangladeshi or Pakistani owned maskerading as authentic Indian cuisine. Thats what I suspect is going on here. Not sure if these owners are actually Indian or if theyre from a region of India where the cuisine is sharply different than what I am used to, but something was off about the flavor. We noticed that where we were seated in the smaller dining room to the left, everyone eating appeared to be non-Indian. However, in the main dining area, there was a special event starting and all of the women looked to be from somewhere close to India, but your eyes can lie to you. They were obviously muslim by their head coverings, so that tipped us off to something being off with our experiences at Indian restaurants. Im not Indian so its very possible Ive been conditioned to favor one regional type of Indian food thats not being offered at Poona, but we were not happy with the flavor of any of our dishes. My wife an I joked that perhaps they had two menus, one for those native to India and a watered down, Americanized version they were providing to us... or perhaps its not them. Its us.Regardless, this is my honest opinion of our meal. The Poori was thick instead of light and fluffy and was served dusted with what looked and tasted like salt and powdered cumin. The Chicken Tikka naan was a bit salty, too, so if we were to enjoy our meal, it wouldve been difficult tasting its true flavor with a salted tongue. I LOVE mutter paneer and have not only ordered it a hundred times in my life, but Ive also successfully made it myself more than once from a really good recipe. My home-cooked dish was much more flavorful than this one servered to us. We also had the Begun Bharta (eggplant, onions and peas), but unfortunatly, it too lacked the distinct spices, flavors, and tastes I recognize when the food is really good.I eat and enjoy spicy foods, but when I try a new place, Ill ask for a more tame or standard heat level the first time to baseline it. On more than one occasion, mild is anything but, and my kids cant enjoy the food. MIld seems to have a different level of heat, not just from culture to culture, but from restaurant to restaurant, so we went with mild here and that may also explain the blandness. They may have even added water to the dishes, because thats actually the best way to accuratley describe what our food tasted like.Really surprised at all the 5 star reviews here that helped us to decide to give Poona Indian Restaurant a try, but everyone has their own concept and opinion of what is good food, so to each their own.

The best Indian Ive had in Gwinnett, spiced perfectly, exceptional flavors, not full of salt! Owner was very welcoming and some of the best service Ive had to date, all the staff visited us frequently. We felt very welcomed and will be back.

Good veg options. Usual chicken tandoori, mutton and butter chicken. Taste is ok, not exceptional. Lot of place to sit. Free coffee with buffet lunch.

V surprising behavior from owner.Messing up with order then instead of say sorry 😞 aggressively behave. Anyway street food was better than poona restaurant. Maybe its good for foreign people who are not used our bengalj food. But its not good taste at all.

One of my favorite cuisines. This place is very nice. Its good was excellent, the staff was very very friendly. Just in the area visiting a friend whos in town for business but I would drive back here just to eat again. Great job Poona restaurant!!!!

If you are looking for the authentic Indian food, then search no more.

This is an Indian restaurant where you can have a buffet for lunch at a reasonable prices. Its great for the price.

I havent had the chance to physically eat here, but the food Ive tried through delivery is truly remarkable. The food is cooked and seasoned exceptionally and you get quite a bit for what you pay for, even in just a single entree. Anyone who has any kind of love and respect for Indian food should try this place.

Its a very warm place with Mr. Mikes presence, he is a very good host and kind of adds comfort specially when you are visiting with family. The service is quick the food taste is delicious. If you want to taste some traditional Bengali dishes this is the place to be. I tried thier lunch buffet along with my family and I feel its fairly priced to taste multiple India delicacies. I have had food in many Indian restaurants across US, I think whats different about this place is the service they offer and freshness of the food.

Loved the food what I ordered. Biryani, garlic Naan and paneerrrr tasty.

This place is fantastic, the staff is super friendly, the food is SPECTACULAR, I loved everything about this place and can’t wait to come back! Come here for great Indian food plain and simple.

This place is closed. They should post it as such...

The strange thing about my order was that it was good, but not what I was expecting. We ordered chicken tikka masala, lamb korma, and some vegetarian dishes.The chicken tikka masala tasted good, but it really just tasted like a creamy lipton chicken soup instead of chicken tikka masala. The other dishes tasted good but I dont know how they normally taste so I cant comment on them.

I really enjoyed the Naan bread but everything else was OK. To be fair I dont really like Indian food. My husband loved it.

Delicious, would have given a 5 but I asked for extra mild and it wasnt

Great food and very kind staff.Little pricey outside of the buffet but high quality.

Been looking for a good Indian buffet since our favorite closed down. 2 duds later found this gem. Nice owner/staff, very good food and good price.

Ordered biryani from this place because a friend recommended it saying it was known for its biryani. I am a biryani connoisseur who has cooked and eaten various types of biryani. I was happy thinking I would get a break from cooking biryani . UNFORTUNATELY what I was served is not biryani!! It was a concoction of three ingredients - rice, saffron and boiled goat meat, No Spice....No Salt!! For people who dont know what biryani is ...maybe fooled by it....but this is NOT Biryani .....it is an embarrassment for Indian cuisine and people who claim they know Indian cuisine by running a restaurant.When we called the restaurant to give feedback, the guy was gibberish and sounded drunk. We just hung up!!If you want to eat biryani google and cook at home. I am certain it will taste 10 times better than what is served here. Dont waste ur hard earned money.

Ordered the Tandoori chicken - the sauce was like Buffalo wing sauce and the chicken was raw. Keema Naan was good, but needed salt.

Great food with affordable prices! 2nd time here and the service is always great 👍

The tikka masala, cabbage bhaji, and samosas were delicious. Will definitely be back!

Food was great...Few highlights1. Sweetness in dessert was accurate, gulab jamun was cooked properly and served hot. Banana pudding was awesome.2. Spices in all non-veg main courses was rock bottom making the chicken korma and mutton feel like it was made at home.3. Chicken biryani was good, pieces were cooked nicely.4. Fish pakora and tandoori chicken tasted good as chicken was cooked from inside as wellVeg dishesPaneer pieces were quite small and gravy was little sweet.Naan was soft, fresh and served hot.I believe buffet runs till 3PM at this place and we visited around 2PM, even then food was hot and fresh.

Excellent food, excellent and friendly staff.

Clean great service with great food!

Wish I could give 0 stars. The food was bland. That should never be a word used to describe Indian food. I have eaten A LOT of Indian food and by far this was the worst. In the trash it went.

Its pretty good for small scale weddings and stuff. Its not huge, but its great for celebrating small occasions and getting together.

Had really delicious butter chicken here and excellent service. the decor is nice and everything is clean as well! definitely try the garlic naan.

The 65 tasted like puke lol

Excellent fresh food and the owner was super nice I hope he sees this and is doing well.

Very good service and great food.

The best Indian food I’ve had in my life.

Terrible!! The worst service ever!! Dont waste your time! Very overpriced

Entire time we were here for lunch, they didn’t have the Tandoori chicken, which is the main dish anyone expect in a Desi non-veg buffet.They keep telling its coming in a min for the entire 30 min we spent there, very smart

Food is not worth the price and that old man stays on your head

Did my sisters engagement party here. Very accommodating and everyone loved the food.

Buffet was great and sanitized, mask and gloves reqired! Some food items could have been hotter.

The food was well prepared, delicious and quick. I overdid it by ordering way more than we could eat. The combo dinner is enough, including soup and dessert. And I still got extra dishes. But it was well worth it. Every thing tasted great and the service was friendly and attentive.

Good food food people. The best kind of mix

The buffet isnt the best the only good thing from the buffet was the chicken 65, also the owner seems very grumpy.

Buffet is amazing!

Hello everyone in Atlanta worst experience cold food and old gentlemen act like food inspector try to tell adults how to eat and watch people how many times they take food from buffet and I took food one plate and went back second time he was telling me he thought I was done this is so cheap if you are cheap dont do buffet very bad experience today

The garlic cheese Naan was amazing. Loved the spicy butter chicken and lamb Saab. Will be back again

We had an amazing meal. They went out of the way to accommodate my two and five year olds. Everyone enjoyed it. The prices are very reasonable. I heartily recommend.

Disgusting food: stale and too oily. Once you start the buffet, they don’t even come close to you and ask if you want more water. Very bad service and food quality. Also no social distancing norms were followed, customers were not 6 feet apart and in addition they didn’t take any temperature he is as mandated by the Government. For this low quality of food, it is not worth risking your life.

Deee-licious!!!! Hot and fresh. I ordered the chicken vindaloo and chicken biryani rice. I couldn’t stop eating it. Everything was seasoned and spiced to perfection. They were really nice too.

Very good food served & prepared by great people!

My Wife and I love a wide range of foods, this is a family owned business and they always have a changing menu for there lunch buffet.Really good food in a clean atmosphere, at a great price.The waitresses are always friendly and helpful.Did I mention that they are also family, “not mine” great people to deal with.

This is our favorite Indian lunch buffet. We havent found a better one around Atlanta. They always have several tasty options and dishes I never had before. Its a very nice mix of favorite and new dishes every time we visit. The owner is very kind and friendly. Also, the service is fast and friendly. As a bonus their food is Halal.

I order chicken biryani and chicken 65..completely tasteless

I like this restaurant very much. there is a very special ambiance. The kitcen is tasty. the service is dynamic and the team is courteous. The cost is fair. I highly recommend.

Service was great and staff was welcoming even though there was a party going on but. Its not authentic Punjabi food or even close, avoid if you know or are familiar with Indian food. I wouldnt ever go here again.

Buffet style for Saturday lunch. Try a delicious variety of Indian dishes with fresh and delicious naan. Rice pudding is my favorite dessert but they even have flan.

Service good, food not that good. Would not suggest.

Its $8-10 for all you can eat lunch. The naan is fantastic, the soup is curiously good for something that seems so simple, and Ive never been disappointed there.Ive never been there for dinner, but I eat lunch there weekly.

Great service and great food.

Best Indian food Ive ever eaten

I always come here and get the lunch buffet. They have the proper oven to cook the naan and its always fresh. Over time Ive become friends with the owner and my family and I are always treated as family when we dine here!

Nice people, great great Indian food!

Expensive, when compared to nearby indian restaurants. The Quality and Quantity dosent match with the price... Dosent feel welcomed there.... i would suggest some other indian/pak restaurant.

The buffet that they run here during lunch is the most incredible deal I’ve ever encountered in my life. Food is amazing too. If I could eat here every single day of my life I prob would.

Its not too good but its ok

Poona hosted our Wedding Reception on May 26, 2018. The reception was perfectly handled! The details were to the point. The food was delicious. The service was superb. We and our guests were aesthetic. Everyone had so much fun. The owner and wife and daughter were at the sight until the reception was over. Their goal was to meet all our expectations and they did. We would definitely recommend this venue for your event. They will handle your event like it is their families. Thank you to the owner, wife, coordinator and daughter! Sincerely, Charlene and Prakash

Ive been here several times now, and have never had a bad experience. Today was my first time trying the lunch buffet and it was absolutely amazing!!!!! So many veggie options, and fresh food. I am not typically a fan of buffets, but since Im rushing to make my flights, I decided to give it a try. Ill definitely be back to.

Really great food!!! Awesome place!!

The food is always delicious and the staff is very friendly. Restaurant is clean and decorated nicely. The best Indian food I’ve had in Gwinnett.

Pretty solid, would go again.

Good and clean indian buffet.

The food is very bland and had no taste. We went on a weeknight at 7:30 and were the only customers there. The service was fantastic, the decor was great and the prices were reasonable. Sadly, I cannot say the same about the food. This place seems to have potential if they can revamp the menu offerings.

Food very tasty, nice ambience linen tablecloth kind of place. Full standard Indian restaurant menu. Not too spicy unless you want it. Took off a star because on a cold night. Restaurant wasnt warm enough

The services was good and the food was delicious. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I ordered a kids meal and she forgot to give the drink and dessert that comes with the meal. She brought each out 15 minutes after we ordered additional drinks and dessert. So we ended up having more than we really needed and ended up paying for more as well.

Great place, the food although is not really authentic but nonetheless was a delicious take of Indian dishes, would come back and eat there again.

I have been eating Indian food for about 30 years. Poonas food is well seasoned and always fresh, even when I go in, 20 minutes before the buffet closes. Its 20-25 min from me but worth the drive. Staff is friendly and caring. I introduce new friends to Indian food often by coming here. They are always impressed and return.

The best Indian food. Dont let the empty dining room fool you, they do a ton of take out business at dinner time. The service is always friendly and attentive, the food is always excellent.

Good food, a bit lazy service

Bit pricey but best Indian food in duluth.

This was my first time coming here, I had to unfortunately leave the previous Indian restaurant that I used to enjoy because of the lack of good customer service. Tonight I enjoyed the Chana Masala, rice, naan and an appetizer! Everything was delicious! I havent been treated that good in a while and I appreciate the service and the delicious food! Only reason for 1 star instead of 5 is because at the end when it was time to pay I put my card on the table while waiting for the check and instead of him bringing me the check to tell me what the total was he took my card and swiped it for the total amount. He then brung back my card and the amount he charged did not match up with the menu prices but I let it go this time and still gave a nice tip. Honesty is important, you never know how God will bless you.
