Temptations
Of all the Indian restaurants' butter chicken in the Ann Arbor area, I love Temptations' best. Its sauce is rich, creamy and just spicy enough. Also, the chicken are all good quality white meat. I would not say it's healthy given it has a lot of butter but I just can't resist its TEMPTATIONS :P The Tandoori is very good there too, they manage to keep the meat tender and juicy even after the grilling. Other Indian restaurants' are usually dry and hard. The goat curry is good but it's not available in my past two visits. I was really disappointed and complained about it to the owner. Hope he will bring it back soon.

Yummy. We just ate here for the second time since moving to AA a few months back.
It is one of two restaurants we've discovered here that I could confidently recommend to visitors.
Delicious.

I've often described the Tandoori chicken at Temptations as being "the only Tandoori chicken I've found worth eating."
My wife and I have been consistently impressed with the food on the buffet, and we like the menu entrees at Temptations even better...
How hot the goat curry on the buffet is varies from visit to visit. To me, that just makes it more interesting.

I had their lunch buffet last weekend. Tandoori was good. But I loved the goat curry. Is the keer supposed to be so thick? Briani rice was slightly dry.

Huh
Temptations Indian restaurant the best restaurant ever I have been. They always have variety in their buffet and they're very consistent. TEMPTATIONS Butter chicken and Tandoori are my favourites for lunch, and Lamb Methi with Garlic Naan Hmm yummy and mouth watering. The owners are very nice and make it really home atmosphere and the service is top notch. Its absoultely worth visiting TEMPTATIONS. Hmm forgot to add their MANGO LASSI,,,

We went to Temptations this last Saturday. The food was very high-quality. I found even their mild was way to hot for me and I like things pretty spicy. Madras Masala (my old favorite) took a little while to adjust their seasonings to Western levels. Their buffet is usually right on the mark. During this trip to Temptations, we had the Butter Chicken which was first-rate. We also had a potato dish that I wasn't crazy about, but that was very well prepared. We'll be going back. The menu is very extensive.

We LOVE temptations. Ahhhh, sooo good! Right now I think I'd donate a kidney just to eat thier paneer stuffed naan (spicy delight!) with the BEST mattar paneer I've ever tasted. Maybe with a stuffed Dosa and a cool glass of mango lassi. Mmmmm! Sign me up! I'm a HUGE temptations fan!

It is the worst restaurant we've discovered here that I will not recommend to any visitor.
I came to this restaurant today (12/27/07) for lunch with my four other colleagues. We were all very much disappointed with your food. The quality of food was very poor. The preparation was poor. There was too much salt and oil, and the food was stale. The presentation was terrible - no one even wanted to eat the food once it was served. You did not offer any dessert (how often do people order "bread pieces soaked in sugar syrup"?). I chose your restaurant to treat my friends, and I am so embarrassed by the poor quality.

My husband brought home a carryout two days ago from Temptations and raved about it. Now, I'm a fan and can't wait to visit for lunch!

I was always a fan of Madras Masalas and Raja Rani (two staples of AA indian/indo cuisine), but Temptations is by far the best I've had, ever. The service can be slow, but it is well worth any wait you may have. I would suggest the samosas, their special biryani, and their lamd methi. I was just blown away with the flavor, texture, and colorful use of ingredients.

This is the worst restaurant I have ever seen. I think they have more spicy masala in stock. That may be the reason all items are terrible spicy. They dont even care, if we ask for less or no spicy, especially if we request for kid. If we make a special request, then only the cook put more spicy. Also, next day after eating here, got to struggle with stomach pain and burn. Very difficult to bear the pain. Terrible Restaurant!!!

LOVE the paneer makhani!! Everything here is always tasty, and the bill is considerably smaller than Shalimar, where we used to eat. The service has always been REALLY slow when we are there, so don't eat there if you're in a hurry. We just do carry out :)
