| - This review is purely for the weekday Indian buffet. It was good, but I've had much better at other Indian lunch buffets. My boyfriend and I came in at around 12pm on a Monday, and found the very open seating area to be very empty. During our lunch, only two other people came in to dine. A couple took to-go. I expect that it fills up later on at night, as there was a separate area for the bar.
Upon first glance at the buffet, I immediately thought that the options were limited, but it ended up being just enough for me! There are plenty of vegetarian options. HOWEVER, the vegetarian options were bland for Indian food. Lacked strong flavors, and that's why I enjoy Indian food in the first place. I liked that they have papadum, which I don't usually see offered at buffets. I loaded up a whole plate full of these chips. Cripsy with salt and tang from the chutneys. May have been my favorite, along with the butter chicken. This was well seasoned and creamy. The butter naan was more like roti in that it was more of a thin, soft, and dense texture and lacked crunch. I enjoyed this. My boyfriend, on the other hand, said he prefers his naan crunchy and airy. The gulab jamun was not as milky as I had expected.
To conclude, some items were good, just not enough for me to give higher ratings. I'd be willing to Urban Turban again sometime (possibly for their tapas and American/Indian fusion dishes).
