Friend introduced me to this little place one day for a meeting over lunch. This place was great, the lunch buffet had a small but tasty choice of options. The best naan I've had since being in cville. We were going at least once a week after. If you want really great and reasonably priced Indian food in the area,... More

We've been dining many times at Milan Indian Restaurant for several years. Before, we went to the indian restaurant about a block away, Maharajah, but we were disappointed in the lack of consideration in making us wait a while for a menu and then taking their time to get the food out. Milan was like a breath of fresh air.... More

This was my husbands first experience with Indian cuisine. We went with some friends (their first Indian cuisine experience as well). Went on a Sunday afternoon & they offered a buffet. This was good timing since this allowed us to try a variety of dishes. Everything was very good & tasty. Nothing was too spicy but did have bold flavor... More

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in C'ville. The staff are helpful and the food delicious. The feel is a bit upscale but even though I typically do not rise to that ideal I have always been made welcome. Give it a try,

The food was excellent, I had the vegan combination dinner. You will be stuffed! I felt all the flavors were bold and the staff was quick and helpful. They asked me repeatedly if I wanted more rice or anything else, and it was timed perfectly with appetizer, main course, and dessert!

We both love Indian food and with this restaurant ( and the one just across the street) (both within 1/4 mile of our hotel) lunch was excellent every day!!! This one has the best raita and onion chutney.

I'm a local and have been to every Indian restaurant in Cville. Some are better than others, but Milan is, by far, the best. However, like many other restaurants in Charlottesville, the quality of the food is not consistent. I have had both, the best and worst Indian meals at Milan. I try not to go too often since I've...

Got there minutes befor the buffet closed. They added fresh dishes, all was very good, very nice selection, some unusual treats for a lunch time buffet. Lamb... More

My husband, two children (age 6 and 4) and I went to both dinner and a lunch buffet at Milan, and it is our new favorite restaurant. Dinner first: A warning for parents - medium spice means pretty spicy to American palates. Our kids ate mostly naan and appetizers and the french fries that came with the kids' meals. They... More

I've given good reviews before, but I can't this time. The masala was inconsistent, and the service was lack luster. What has happened?
