You know you are not mistaken when 97% of the patrons are Indian and the place looks like it is at 85% capacity.
Although the restaurant boasts to be the largest Indian buffet in North America, I was a little disappointed. I guess I was expecting a reeaally huge Las Vegas style buffet.
There is a wide variety of dishes but not a huuuuuge variety. Stand out dishes include the Aloo Gobi, Chicken Biryani, Rava Kesari (I had 4ish bowls of this stuff - I was eating it like rice - sooooo yummy!), and some veggie curry dish of which I can't remember the name.
There was also an interesting dish (with its own separate station) that I unfortuantely did not try out properly because I didn't know how it was supposed to be eaten. The station was filled with plates of hollow fried crispy dough balls with accompanying sauces. There was also a potato, chickpea, and cilantro mixture located at this station. It was only after eating my 4ish bowls of dessert Rava Kesari that I learned you are supposed to punch a hole in the hollow crispy dough ball, add the potato chickpea mixture and then drizzle sauce on it. Although I did try each of the components of this station (crispy dough ball, chick pea mixture, and sauce) - I didn't know to put it together correctly. So, if you do dine here, and you didn't know before, now you'll know.
That naan bread is okay - not particuarly tasty. The samosas are not bad.
Service is friendly.
The dining area is quite nice. The foyer is quite pretty.
Prices are reasonable - $20ish for an adult - does not include drinks. Actually, since the typical indian dish costs about $12 - $15, the price of the buffet is quite a steal!!!
Kids dine for free on Wednesdays.
I enjoyed my experience and meal but I am not sure I would want to drive the 40ish minutes it took to dine there again ... unless I was in the area.
