| - Crabs Curry for Weekend Lunch buffet! None of Indian buffet (None in NYC, none in NJ, none in CA) had dared to provide such exquisite seafood variety in the buffet (not to forget Shrimp Masala, Pomfret Curry). This is absolute feast for seafood lovers...
For Chicken or Goat meat lovers, there were 2 types of biryanis, and meat balls along w/ tandoori.
For veggies lovers, lot of combinations from Southern and Northern cuisine. Surprisingly, in this Southern style (Idali, Sambar, Vada) restaurant, the northern style dishes (Saag, Butter Paneer, Dum Aaloo) were also authentic.
The desert section has limited options here, but that were still enough to stand out from routine options: Mango ice cream, Gulab Jamun, and Rice Kheer - that you may get at any typical Indian restaurants.
The spice level reminds the homestyle meals, and the preparations are not oily.... And if one's palate needs some help to deal w/ hot food - have a glass of buttermilk on the side.
The owner and staff seems very attentive. The Naans were being served hot right on table. The glasses were refilled without being asked. Even though we stayed beyond the closing time (3pm), we were asked if we need anything more. And, this delicious meal and warm service comes at $10.99, not much compared to Chicago or even Madison.
For spicy as well as non-spicy Indian food this newer player deserves credit for serving homestyle food. Overall, other established restaurants now have a very formidable competitor : Haldi !!!
