| - I recently stopped by New India Gate for their weekend lunch buffet, and was incredibly impressed. As a novice to Indian Food, I was a bit apprehensive that the buffet might be too spicy for my taste. I expressed my concerns to the waitress, and the manager (possibly the owner) ended up walking us through the entire buffet, dish-by-dish, explaining the ingredients in each dish, what to expect from a heat perspective and how to adjust the heat on-the-fly if it is too spicy. I'm not sure I've ever had a restaurant provide such a careful, detailed explanation of their food, and I was thoroughly impressed with their friendliness and desire to make sure I felt confident in making selections.
In terms of the quality of the food, I can't say I'm an expert at evaluating Indian food, but everything tasted really fresh and high quality, and they had a solid selection of vegetarian dishes on the buffet as well. I am a meat-eater, but the vegetarian curry was actually my favorite dish! Plus, if you go on the weekend they have an amazing mango pudding on the buffet (served Saturday and Sunday only)!
I'll absolutely dine at New India Gate again in the future!
