  • Extremely hungover and in the mood for an indian lunch buffet. Let me say that I live in Toronto(High Park) and have a zillion indian food buffet options in the downtown core. My friend doesn't want to find parking. Nope he wants a restaurant with its own parking lot and he's sticking to his guns. Mississauga makes me miserable but whatever. He's driving and I'm starving. I sleuth google and find Sahara and on the way we go. Were driving 25 minutes to Mississauga just for a restaurant with it's own bloody parking lot. Now unfortunately my phone dies before I get there and I forget the name of the restaurant. This is a business park with a big row of restaurants and the bar My Apartment. Which place is it? Nirvana. Ya, that's it I say with confidence to my lunch friend. We arrive inside and the place looks nice. Smelled great. I look around and don't see a buffet but see a signboard that states Executive Lunch Buffet. It must be in a section that I can't visibly see. We get seated and I am starting to worry. At this point I'm sure there isn't anywhere else the buffet tables could be. I tell my friend that I'm going to ask someone to make sure and away I go to flag down a waiter. Finally a gentleman comes out the kitchen door and I ask ift there is indeed a buffet. Yes, he answers "A sit down buffet"., What???? Now my brain is not on point from yesterdays festivities and I retreat back to the table with the news. A sit down buffet i tell my friend. We are giggling like school girls because it doesn't make an ounce of sense. I am a buffet addict. I've eaten at hundreds of buffets through my zillion trips to Vegas. I know what a buffet is and this is not it. Now at this point I'm assuming that its all you can eat but we just order off the menu sort of like AYCE sushi. Waiter arrives and his English is really difficult to understand but we make out that he is asking us if were eating a la carte or having the buffet(meat or veggie). Meat buffet we reply and order some drinks. He begins to tell us about the food that would be arriving and i'm starting to get confused again. I said to my friend this is a prix fixe menu not a freaking buffet. This is trickery i'm thinking but my brain is trying to come up with a reason for all of this. Perhaps its a prix fix menu but its all you can eat I say. Were fine with that for some reason. Sauces like raita, some chili sauce and coriander chutney arrive. Shortly after Tandoori chicken wings arrive. 8 chicken wings. They were quite good. Very flavorful. Waiter comes back and lets us know that main course will be arriving soon. Now I start asking the questions, the moron I am. What is this buffet all about I ask? Is it all you can eat? I can go for about another 20 of these wings. No he reply's. He says something like "It's for the business people. So they dont have to decide what to eat" Haha. What ! Now I'm getting irritated. This is a fricking prix fixe lunch. How the hell did I get duped like this. Well I do know. Hungover and stupid. I say to my buddy. We need to stop this. I need a buffet. I want variety. I want 20 items to taste. So we decide to bite the bullet and get up and leave paying for what we ate and drank so far. $14.00 for the 8 chicken wings and $7.00 for a tea and a coke plus tax and meager tip. This sucks. We finally find the restaurant we initially were supposed to go to, "Sahara". It delivered and was exactly what I was looking for in an indian "buffet" It's quite hidden in this business park. Turned out to be an expensive lunch. While the food looked and smelled quite good at Nirvana, its not what i was looking for. STOP CALLING IT A BUFFET YOU JERKS! ITS A PRIX FIXE LUNCH OPTION. 1 STAR FOR TRICKERY! +---
