Cheap Indian food is always a risky venture for some paper-stomached Yankees, but with the reputation that Tina and Mehernosh Daroowalla have built in this neck of the woods, it's naan and dal for everyone. Owners of the ritzier Indian on the Hudson, the Daroowalla's nailed their dream of a quirky, casual neighborhood joint with Karma Kafe's great, nasal-clearing Indian. They've built a legion of addicts, and the word is spreading like a fiery tandoori through the belly of Hoboken. The best way to acquaint yourself with Karma Kafe, or Indian food in general if you're a beginner, is the buffet. Karma Kafe's lunch buffet, priced below $10, lets you navigate through every bold flavor, picking and choosing your favorite fire level and flavors. At that price, the quality can't be beat, and you'll have extra money for some antacid afterwards. Once you've built up a tolerance, you'll appreciate that Karma Kafe offers unusual regional dishes, like peppery chicken Kali Mirch and Rajasthani achari lamb redolent with mustard seed and chili.

rgere66 - 06/10/2008I had heard a lot so I dragged a bunch of nay sayers (boy were they surprised) last weekend. The restaurant was busy we waited at the bar and were seated as promised. From the appetizers ( the best samosas ever) to the dinner ( I had the gigantic Tandoori Medley) everything was perfect. We cant wait to go back....my nay saying friends included.
My review of Karma
tandm6163 - 06/08/2008Went there for dinner. The food was fabulous. Great portions and very well priced esp. in these lean times. Very polite and attentive waiters. Truly worth the the trip.
Not for vegetarians
hemaltriv - 04/20/2007The other day I went for a lunch buffet at Karma Kafe and I was really really disappointed. They just had two vegetarian curries- one was chana masala and other was boiled green beans. Both the vegetables were really very very average. They had no vegetarian appetizers. It was really a disappointing meal. Really for a vegetarian there were no choices. Their dessert was poor too. I don't think I am ever going to go to Karma Kafe for lunch buffet again. It is certainly not a place for vegetarians.
Ughhh!

Lunch Buffet
sinst77 - 02/28/2005Excellent lunch buffet. I usually go on Sunday afternoons, and I'm always more then satisfied. Excellent!!!
Too expensive!
aironshoe4202 - 11/28/2004Good title for the resturant. But the food and the service was poor. The worst part was the bill at the end. Too pricy! Not to mention bathroom in like an hour! MUST AVOID AT ALL COST! Two thumbs down!
:( Disappointing
ajminneken - 11/01/2004It looked so cute. I wanted to go for ages. It is not cheap - especially for Indian food - I don't know why it says that in the description of the rest. And though the food was not bad at all the staff was so nonattentive I can honestly say I would not go back and neither would my friend.

scottrichman9 - 06/04/2004Food is very good, wait staff eager yet under-staffed and sometimes slow. I liked it all in all very much!
