This Restaurant belongs to the category of Indian restaurant.
Ate for late lunch (around 1:00) and found the food delicious but unkept at buffet. The rice had hardened and the meat was missing in curries. As I was paying the cashier asked about the meal and then made a fresh to go meal inclusive of meat. Treat this place like a home away from home. Ask for corrections before you eat for best result. Great value!
BUFFET REVIEW ONLY: I have been looking forward to trying this place out for quite sometime (@ least a year). I happened to be nearby during lunchtime, so I checked it out. I was a bit disappointed. There wasn't a very big selection on the buffet (for $11+ per person, $25+ for two). Mostly soupy/creamy dishes intended to put on rice, two chicken options, two dishes with potatoes, white rice & rice with veggies added...for a total of about 10-12 options. It would have been beneficial to have (at least) a 2 or 3 word explanation of what each dish was...posted at least somewhere. The 1-2 word Indian name was not helpful to me. I will not try the buffet again. The waiter was very cordial, by the way. The food (whatever it was I was eating) was tasty. I used to eat curry lamb when I lived in the Wash DC area, so I would be willing to try 'off the menu' entrees in the future.
We were happy to see they had a large vegetarian section on the menu. The food was delicious and place was clean. Don't let the sign outside scare you away. This place is definitely good and we will be returning on our next trip here.
Food and service wonderful as always. One of our favorite special places on the Coast. Top notch, authentic Indian cuisine, running the gamut of styles. New location is good, and I look forward to seeing how the interior continues to evolve.
Excellent lunch buffet that's perfect if you're new to Indian cuisine. There isn't a huge selection but the food available is awesome. The owner is great and very helpful if you're confused. Order the mango lassi - basically a mango milkshake/smoothie; it is very tasty.
We have always seen this warm and inviting restaurant but finally stopped in. What a surprise! This place is truly a delight. The food is amazing and the waiter is very very attentive to every detail. We will definitely be back and we will be inviting our friends and family to enjoy! Thank you
I had a fantastic experience at Orchid! My mom and I were curious about the restaurant and our curiosity was met with stunning food and hospitality. I highly recommend this locale for anyone who wants a taste of legitimate Indian food at reasonable prices.
Really tasty buffet. May be the best I've ever had.
Fantastic food, good portions and very nice staff!
Always excellent food. We just tell them what we've had before and ask them to bring something different.
Food was tasty, good, service good.
Well Items were very less for around $11.50 buffet price. They had 3 chicken items seen first but later when I went to take spoons, owner seen to put same chicken in three chicken items. I have eaten in lots of Indian restaurants and this is the worst. We had seen flies in the desert areas. People who haven’t eaten typical Indian food are going to experience worst modified tasteless Indian food if they are planning to go over there.
Absolutely fantastic! Amazing food. Very friendly, helpful, and accommodating host. My wife is gluten-free and they went out of their way to help her out. This has become a go-to place for us for whenever we visit Gulfport.
Amazing food, great atmosphere, and friendly staff. Highly recommend for a date or family night.
The food here is great and the staff is always friendly.
This was my first time trying Indian cuisine and I was very pleased with the service and the food. I wish I would have found this place when I was going vegetarian. There are many options to choose from (with and without meat) I will be back!!
The buffet is really good but they really need to do some cleaning. The baseboards are awful, the bathrooms are nasty. What a shame because I wonder now how clean the kitchen is. Love the food.
Very good food. Very nice staff too.
Absolutely Amazing food. If you looking for a great place to expand your pallet this is it.
The food wasn't bad but the place and the structure was strange.
Could be a little cleaner but the food tested great.
Excellent food. The staff members were very nice and helpful
Great staff and great food. We go for dinner sporadically but the owner knows our usual order which is awesome.
Worst buffet I have ever eaten. Owner put same chicken in 3 chicken tikka, chicken korma and chicken curry. No chicken found in chicken biryani, flies seen in desert side. No paneer found in paneer tikka masala. I wont suggest this place even if you get free food. Absolutely disgusting place.
Only the name is Indian resturares but the flavor is far a way from indian food . I will not try it agian
Excellent food, service, and value. The owners are wonderful people and treat everyone like family.
Great food and family owned
The buffet was very good with many choices and several vegetarian options. For dessert, there was homemade ice cream and fresh, ripe fruit. Mike, the owner, was very nice. We definitely will eat here again when in the area.
Wow!!! This was an awesome surprise! Great food. Restaurant is on the first floor of an old wooden home so expect some character but don't let that effect your expectations of what your meal will be. Mango Lassi was great (more mango than yogurt) and homemade mango ice cream was amazing. Lots of choices on the buffet or order from the menu. Putting this down as an 'enjoy again' when we are over Gulfport way.
The lunch buffet was just ok. The food served were super soupy and not a whole lot of meat.... literally! The naan was a good size and fresh so that was a plus. If you want to eat at this place, I highly recommend to stay clear from the buffet and just order from the menu... might have better luck that way.
The only thing good was the Naan.
We were blown away by the service and food. The owner spent time walking us through plant-based options, of which there were many! The food was incredibly tasty. Highly recommended.
Food is great. We can never forget the hospitality and care showed by the owner in packing our food as we were traveling with kids and picked the food.
Incredible food and service at a very reasonable price. They are super accommodating with ingredients and preperation. Great place!!!
My husband and I had a wonderful time here. Were from up north and to find authentic Indian food down south was hard to find but this place is a gem. The food and service was great a must try !
Our food this evening was delicious and the service could not have been better. They do not serve wine but you are welcome to bring your own.
I was 5 days overdue to give birth and thought maybe some spicy food might do the trick. I had tried everything else! so I went and ordered the chicken vindaloo for a late dinner and I was in labor the very next morning. Healthy baby boy! great chicken vindaloo!
Vegan in the deep south that was DELIGHTED to find this friendly place with amazing food. Most of the buffet is vegan along with a huge selection on the menu. Fried items are also gluten free. Orchid really knows what they are doing and are happy to accommodate special requests. Such a wonderful time and delicious meal every time. Definitely must visit if you find yourself in southern Mississippi.
Good authentic restaurant. Need to have better signage.
It was good okay
We absolutely love Orchid!!! We can always find something to eat with dairy & gluten allergies. The staff are wonderfully helpful and always point out what we can eat. They also have a delicious bread we can have too! My 3 1/2 yr old loves it!!! And my vegetarian friend can always find choices as well. Indian food is my favorite! Family friendly too and my son has a crush on the little girl that is often there on the weekends. :-)
Frankly there was almost no meat in the buffet curries. Also quite bland, but everyone's likes are different. Very nice owners!
Best Indian food I've had east of the Mississippi! Very good appetizers and naan bread!
So delicious! It was probably the best meal I've had since I arrived a few weeks ago. Try everything on the buffet. It's worth it
Our family visits this restaurant every time we come to Biloxi, about twice a year.
Totally Disappointed with this restaurant!! Don’t recommend at all.
My wife and I frequent here and I don't think it's possible for us to get tired of the food here! So many amazing vegetarian options on the buffet. The staff are extremely nice and helpful ESPECIALLY the owner! If you haven't been here, GO! :)
The place had good reviews and it was close to where we were staying but really the food wasn't good, we have a lot of experience with Indian food and this just didn't even come close
The food is all really good, and the buffet is a great change from the usual. I recommend it without qualification. I do wish there was a cheat sheet (I'm a little inexperienced with Indian cuisine). The parking is chaotic. Not sure why the rear entrance is not open in order to cycle traffic through instead of the sliding puzzle that breaks out when there's more than three cars in the lot.
This is a great find! Ate dinner here with a colleague from India and the food was pronounced authentic and expertly prepared.
This is one of my very favorite restaurants in the area. Extremely friendly staff. They always remember us and provide good conversation. The food is DELICIOUS. I craved it everyday when I was pregnant. Not to mention the great atmosphere and nice outside view!
The chicken tasted like warmed over leftovers. The rice was dry with crunchy pieces. How do you mess up tandoori chicken? I had the buffet to get a bit of all the dishes I like. It all tasted like they were scared to season it. I drove 20 minutes to experience the intense flavors of Indian cuisine. Fail
Pretty good food. Service was great. Very polite and helpful for those of us ignorant to Indian Cuisine. Buffet style with plenty of vegertian options.
I am no Indian food connoisseur so I have no clue how authentic it is but damn is it good! The buffet food is amazing and so is the menu items as I have had both. Service is always fast and friendly. Great Indian restaurant for the coast!
We are OBSESSED with this place. We don’t even live in MS anymore but come here regularly (see: every day) when in town visiting family 2-3 times a year. The owner is so kind and helpful, the food is hands down the best Indian we’ve ever had (flavorful, unique, and consistent every time with deliciousness). The options are healthy & diverse, too. They are moving from Teagarden road to Hardy Court in April. Excited to visit the new location on our next visit. :) Ps - for the one star reviews, oh my gosh, so obviously trolls on here all claiming the same things with names of Indian descent. Sad, sad, sad. No one be distracted by these silly reviews. Go give it a try for YOURSELF and I promise you’ll become a regular. ;)
So so so very very good!!
The food is tasteless. If you are an Indian hoping to get Indian style food I suggest please avoid this restaurant. The buffet is pathetic. All the food veg and non veg tastes the same.
I give it four stars simply because l've never had Indian food. I ordered the Mango Lamb and enjoyed it. Service was great.
Pretty decent Indian food, the dishes tent to be a shy a bit on the meats. I would like to see a little more chicken in the curry. Otherwise it’s a lovely place.
Absolutely delicious. Would absolutely go back there again. Delicious homemade strawberry ice cream and flaverful curry. If your wondering if you should try it I say go ahead.
Food is delicious, 100 percent professionalism and food quality.
Great food and service.
Great buffet. Well done and not expensive.
Never ate such bad food no taste , i had ordered bhel puri , mutton birtani
Great food and great service
We went there for dinner last month.... Worst samosa & biriyani we ever had...pricy menu...not worth the money at all...paneer curry is okay. Service is good.
One of the worst food ever. I think this place must be inspected by the health department. We went in group of 11 people , we were very hungry and thought we would love the buffet but the items in the buffet was not fresh at all, the presentation was horrible. Because of the food I had diarrhea. Please use fresh items in your Buffett.
We love love love indian food! And we are so happy that you've gotten your new location! We frequented the old location and the new location is a huge upgrade! The lunch buffett is quite a deal, also get the makhani chicken (aka butter chicken) if you order off the menu. Also try the Saag Panner as well!!
Delicious! Took my husband and I back to our visit to Hyderabad in India a few years ago.
Orchid is definitely a family favorite! The buffet is fantastic. Several different delicious food options at a great price. The Chicken as well as the Vegetable Korma are amazing! The Garlic Naan bread is highly addictive. For dessert, the Mango ice cream is the best finishing touch. We dine here often, and if you've not visited this establishment, I highly recommend you do. You'll become an Orchid "regular" too!
Good selection of buffet items. Helpful staff and nice quiet seating. Food is mediocre, not the best Indian food but good enough to suffice, especially for a place like Mississippi.
They make their own ice cream and I thought it was wonderful
The food was bland and buffet include very few non veg items & poor conditions inside. They serve ice creams with serving spoon no scoops very bad arrangement. I would never recommend this place to any Indian I can make better food in my kitchen.
Oh so good!! We have our favorite dishes here but you really should try everything on the menu! Always very satisfied with the food but the owner is very nice and recognizes us when we walk in. Everyone should try Orchid!!
Still work in progress but food was good.
Great flavors. Rich cuisine. They even had homemade strawberry ice cream. I've always been a fan of Indian food, and they are pretty good. I had the Chicken Tikka Masala, naan bread, rice, and Indian Hot Tea.
Awesome Samosa chat! and friendly staff
Friendly and helpful service! Food was excellent!
Food at night is better than the lunch buffet. Different degrees of spicy. From mild to very spicy. The interior is not upscale but will surfice.
My wife and I discovered this little gem about a year ago right after we found out she was pregnant and have fallen in love with the food and owner. He is always there and beyond friendly, and makes us feel special during every single visit. I've been eating Indian food for years at dozens of restaurants all over the country (military brat) and can honestly say this has been my favorite with their balance between quality and price. I implore you to try this place with any level of experience with the exotic culture that Indian food has to offer. The owner will always give you tips on what to try depending on how adventurous you are feeling with a smile and a few cracked jokes. They have a buffet that will not disappoint (call ahead for times, I can't remember of the top of my head) and dozens of amazing entrees and unique deserts.
We love this place, food is great and owner is one of the nicest people.
Amazing Indian cuisine! And now they deliver through Waitr!
Not typical burn your face Indian. If you like that way they will provide. Very good food.
Really enjoyed the food, the staff and owner are very friendly and knowledgeable. Everything was filled with such flavor and they will adjust the spices to meet your taste buds dreams. Its a small place, so you get excellent service and the floor plan gives you a nice sense of intimacy, and was quite and peaceful during our time there. You can dress casual but its welcoming to have real white tablecloths while dinning. A must go try.
ORCHID IS AMAZING! INDIAN FOOD ISN'T SOMETHING THAT YOU GET TOO OFTEN HERE IN SOUTH MS. MY SISTERS, MOTHER AND MYSELF USED TO COME HERE ONCE A WEEK FOR LUNCH. THE STAFF IS SO FRIENDLY AND THEY TAKE THE TIME TO COME AND TALK TO US EVERYTIME WE ARE IF YOU GO YOU HAVE TO TRY THE MANGO ICE CREAM! TRUST ME.
My favorite restaurant on the Coast. I love the authenticity and beautiful soulful flavors. Its a vegetarian and vegan friendly place which is a huge plus for me and my family.
Best in the Gulfport and i think the entire southern gulf coast.
Not impressed. Definitely not worth the price.
This place has amazing food. really beautiful area as well.
Variety of options and tasty food. The only Indian food in the area.
The food was fresh and delicious, everything was cooked to order although their buffet smelled great too. The restaurant is in a nice old house just up the road from the beach. Definitely going back.
Interesting to say the least! This was my first time in an Indian restaurant, and I had the buffet. The selection was small, but the food was good. Some of the food in the buffet looked like it had been sitting there for a while though. They could have also better labeled some of their items. I had no idea what I was eating, but I sure loved it. I ate 4 plates of food!
I am from India and I know how does Indian food taste like. Even my 13 years old daughter can make better food than here. Less items, same chicken in 3 pans saying different names just to fake customers, not clean plates. We were 11 people there today. Even if they give me free food, I wont go there. I am worried of food poisoning today. Wasted my money eating there. Health department should inspect this place,
Taste like 5 days old chicken. Better to die starving than eating worst buffet of Orchid Indian cuisine. Flies flying around dessert. Worst customer service. Dirty spoons. Same chicken in 3 different item of chicken. Chicken biryani with no chicken. Funny but reality
Amazing food! Flavors will excite your mouth!
Place was dirty to start with. Samosas were way to doughy not like others I've had that were crisp. The buffet food was subpar and lacked meat. No wish to deter others, please make your own observation.
If you've never had authentic Indian food, you're likely to like it. If you have, let the owner know. He can make more acceptable. The main improvement would be to use better ingredients, particularly better chicken meat that currently seems to be of the worst quality I have ever had. Hope my review helps the owner/manager
A nice little place to have Indian food if you're in the gulf coast. Good indian flavors and they also made jain food at our request. Would definitely recommend it.
Big NO to south indian food lovers!!!
Absolutely delicious food and great people who run and own it. A great break from the ho-hum everyday meals. There is such a cornecupoia of flavors and dishes, a wide selection of meals, and great for people watching what they eat. A truly hidden gem off the beat and path for locals.!!!
Absolutely delicious! Owner was very friendly and helpful. So many vegan options and each one was amazing! Will be here again next time we are in town!!
Love this place. Food is awesome, reasonable prices
Best Indian restaurant in town. I always go for the lunch buffet. Never disappointed
The owner is awesome! Food from the menu is great good service!
Outstanding food. I had curry lamb. My husband had mango lamb. Yummy. Also we got the bread sampler plate. Fantastic. Our waiter was a charming gentleman who was very friendly with all the patrons.
The worst Indian restaurant in US. Please don’t come here. This is not Indian food.
Service is excellent
Great food if you want to challenge your tastebuds
The owners are sincere and genuinely kind people! This restaurant is a tie with Phoenicia Gourmet as my favorites in the area. I always order chicken korma, pashwari naan, mango lassi (mango yogurt smoothie) w/no ice and homemade mango ice cream. One of my friends and I always do our annual Christmas lunch here. The view of the gulf is very relaxing and pleasant. Highly recommend!
Instead of replying to my review, go and clean your restaurant, your restroom, instruct your staff in the kitchen to make good food, clean your decks, clean your kitchen and make good arrangements. These reviews are to help your business grow. It’s hard to explain how disgusting your food was. But you can always change things and make improvements. Thank you
Service was good, food was ok Ordered chicken tikka masala and from grilled, was mediocre
The lunch buffet is amazing. I've eaten once for dinner and ordered a combination dinner that the owner (?) recommended. It was all very good, but I prefer to eat here for the lunch buffet. Nothing is insanely spicy (hot) on the buffet, in fact there is very little that is spicy. Some people worry that all Indian food is extremely spicy but at Orchid it's not the the case. Check out the lunch buffet, especially if you have not eaten Indian food before. A hidden gem.
As good as I remembered! As always, the owner was pleasant and very present.
My fiance and I LOVE this place. The food os phenomenal and atmosphere is great. Lunch buffet is the best but at night you can order from the menu and it's great too. The owner is always there working 7 days a week. He is very friendly and an awesome guy. If your tired of everyday food, give this place a try. Dont forget to try the fresh made ice cream on the buffet also.
First time visitor. Selected the buffet. A great decision! Tried some of everything and it was all great! Made a second "run" and selected a bigger portion of what I liked best. The mango custard for dessert was absolutely perfect! Someone help me to my car. I will definitely be back.
So delicious! My second time eating there and will definitely be doing so again!
Smells funny inside. Took a while, only 1 waiter. Very friendly though. Food was ok.
Best food, wonderful relaxed atmosphere, absolutely the sweetest family owners, you feel like you are eating at their table in their home as their honored guest. Cannot say enough good about Orchid. We visit every time we are in town and also drive from New Orleans to enjoy their delicious food.
Food is delicious and owner and staff very friendly and helpful!
If we could we would rate zero stars we would. It's not good. We could make better indian food in our kitchen and we'll continue to do just that from now on. I'm really disappointed and to even have the audacity to call this indian food is disgraceful. Don't waste your money. Just Google some recipes and make your own.
Great food and good service. Was early before they opened and was super nice to cook the meals anyways. Did the vegan options and tasted great and totally coming back!
I've been to Indian buffets almost everywhere in the United States and this is by far the worst place I've been to. Chicken biryani without chicken, paneer tikka masala without paneer, only to name a few.
Food is okay
Great place for food. Tasty food and Very Good staff.
Very good atmosphere. Friendly and food was good. My only complaint is the food was milder then I'm used to but I'm Cajun lol.
I love this place! Great service and even better food. Great to have Indian food while I am in Mississippi.
Very good food and great host. I surely will eat there again.
Owner was very welcoming and gave excellent service. Food could have been more spicy but it was still very delicious.
GREAT PLACE FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
While there are many words I could use to describe this resturant, I’m going to say only this: Orchid Indian Cuisine is a bad restaurant. McDonald’s does a 400% better job for one-fourth of the price.
I love this place. I have to drive 45 minutes to eat here. I happily make the drive at least once a week. And the staff is super. They remember me and take care of my food allergies without me even mentioning it after only two visits. The food is fantastic. I'm a lightweight and can't handle very much spice, they are always very accommodating. I recommend The Orchid to anyone who will listen. I have treated many friends because it's so affordable. I can't say enough praise.
No service terrible food
I gave them a 1-star rating because they are not at this location. So if you are moving here don't bring pre-posted ratings from your Old location. Just saying, Ba Boo.
Absolutely wonderful! Love this gem on the gulf coast! The food is perfect. The atmosphere is peaceful and inviting. The service is second to none. Go to this restaurant - you will love it if you’re not stupid. :)
Worst Indian Food Ever! Chicken Korma tasted like Boiled Chicken, rice smelled like cheese!
This is an amazing place for Indian food. The food is delicious. The service was outstanding. The best Indian food I have tested across USA.
The food is so good I wish I could eat there twice a week not as spicy as some Indian restaurants and you can request it spicy if you want
Nice family owned Indian restaurant. When traveling back from New Orleans to Atlanta, searched for Indian food we found and walked in. They have converted a home to an restaurant, you cannot expect like a traditional restaurant atmosphere. I think we walked at the peak time, Staff / owner greeted us and provided us the seats. So we started exploring the buffet options and having nice mugalai non veg / veg options, we started our feast. Owner walked to as and provided us with spicy chicken curry with bread's (Nan). It's was really nice. This restaurant seems to be popular among the local neighborhood. They are having so many American customer's, that proves that buffet dishes are less spicy. But they have complimented with the spicy chicken curry. My suggestion to the owners is to keep some ice cream bowels to enjoy the mouth watering home made mango ice cream, I had it twice on the plates. After such a nice buffet when we walked to pay, I was surprised with the price is low for a such good quality food. Friendly staff / owner asked about the visit. I shared this location to my friends to visit when they go for a trip to this area.
Great buffet!
The best is the lunch buffet. If you haven't had Indian style food or you're like me where it all tastes good and you want variety, the buffet is great. They make there own mango ice cream YUM.
Don't remember
So damn good, go for the buffet, and leave more than happy. Delicious brown butter naan bread, outstanding curries, and perfectly cooked rice.
Excellent food. Definitely listen to the owners advice on dishes. They're very child friendly also
Im almost certian the chicken tikka masala had no garam masala in it whatsoever. The chicken was bland and rubbery and the sauce was like water, the vegitable somosas had no flavor, the little chips they bring out at the beginning of service (which i have never seen in any indian restaurant, usually they bring papadum) were soggy and stale. The inside was was just as disgusting as the food. Every few seconds you could hear a loud pop as a bug exploded on a bug zapper, it smelled rancid like old food, and the bathrooms were gross. I am saddened that people are willing to eat this and think that it is indian food. If you want real Indian take a trip up to Nashville or even over to New Orleans you could even make food at home that is better than this.
When it comes to time I’ve had Indian food, this place is awesome. The owner is very personable and aims to please. Come visit!
Great authenticity with the nicest staff. A great gem in Gulfport!
Good food, friendly service, and fairly priced.
My wife is stationed in the area so we decided to check this place out on my visit from New York. Coming from NYC with many places to compare to I have to say this is definitely some of the best Indian food I have had. I highly recommend this place.
Great lunch buffet. Almost everything is gluten free and delicious.
One if my favorite places to eat Indian food
Fantastic! Very catering to vegans! We will definitely be eating there a lot.
I don’t know. The food was ok. All I will say is that if you want spicy ask for the very very spicy option. The food is obviously made for a specific type of person and not for people looking for authentic Indian Food. The staff is very friendly!
The waiter there is probably the world's best waiter. Menu can be confusing (I'm Indian, but Indian dishes sound foreign even with the ingredients listed in the menu) so just tell him what you like. Been there 3 times and great dishes each time.
Literally the best food on the coast. Food is always fresh and delicious. Service is always wonderful with such kind people. Definitely a place to check out.
I just had the buffet at this restaurant for the first time and it didn't disappoint! It was a variety of interesting spices and flavors! And the mango ice cream was amazing!!!
Great food. Great service. Mango ice cream is to die for.
The service was very good the waiter/ owner was pleasant .
