| - I came here for dinner last night and was handed the all you can eat dinner menu. I thought it was at the buffet area, which was dark, but the woman explained that all food is made to order in the kitchen rather than sitting in pans on a buffet.
I ordered:
Papadi chaat
Onion pakora
Chili chicken
Tadaka daal
Matar mushroom
Baigan bharta
Badami kheer
Gulab jamun
The standout dishes were the chaat, chili chicken, and tadaka daal. The chaat was made with chick peas, pieces of finely chopped potato, tomatoes, and flour crisps. When I've had chaat before, it generally had rice crisps. These were flour and were just as good. The chili chicken had a very nice spice tang to it as did almost all the dishes I tried. The baigan bharta is roasted eggplant cooked with spices in peanut seasoned coconut sauce. The two desserts--kheer and gulab jamun-- were standard for Indian restaurants.
I like the fact that the servings are small dishes so you can try different things. I wish there was more of a selection but I understand they have to limit it because of cooking time.
I was the only one in the restaurant when I arrived a little after 5. Later, two other parties came in but it was a slow night while I was there. You can also order from the regular menu but the server assumed I'd want the AYCE option which is available only on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Note--there was a sign on the door that they would be closing Tuesdays starting March 6.
For $14.02, including tax, this was a good meal. That price also included the mango lassi. It's an inexpensive dinner and a good one. I need gto go back and get something from their standard menu.
