I have been dreaming of Siddhartha Vegetarian Indian Buffet for 3 years, since I moved away from Toronto, only to return to find it has changed hands and no longer exists?!!
Apparently Gautama is the new sister to Siddhartha. We stumbled upon it, as I recognised the logo on the sandwich board.
The decor is modern, but has less character than before. The buffet was not ready when we got there. It took a while for the server to approach us as well.
The buffet was tasty, although saucier than I remember. You were lucky to get a piece of meat or cheese. The lamb curry was quite gristly. The veggie dishes (potatoes in particular) were cold, and undercooked.
However, the chicken curry was divine. The tandoori chicken was also delish. The naan was hot and crispy and fresh.
I would try it again, if I was in the area. I wouldn't make a special trip...
