I went for the lunch buffet with my boss yesterday at "The Famous" (that's how they answer the phone!), hoping that they would live up to their name and not be deserving of a 2 letter prefix (i.e In-). The gentleman was very friendly on the phone and indeed when we arrived he shook our hands! He offered us complimentary pop to boot. After we ate the chef came out and asked us how we liked everything, I thought I was a VIP until I remembered I was at an Indian lunch buffet on Gerrard!
The buffet was as fresh as any that I have had, the tandoori chicken was without doubt the best I have had at a buffet, piping hot, very moist and tender with just the right amount of charredness to add flavour. Good selection of main dishes too, with butter chicken, lamb curry, chicken curry, saag paneer, eggplant dish, chick pea masala, this list is not exhaustive! Also the pakoras and naan bread were served fresh and crispy, I cannot fault the food. There was dessert if desired but as I usually have 3 plates of food I almost never indulge.
If you are going here for lunch call ahead as I think they made a special effort once I said we were coming for the first time to try the buffet. And the whole thing is going for the low low price of $9.99!!! I felt like I was stealing from them.....
Half a point off for decor and it was a little cold in there, although it was the coldest day of the year outside so I'm sure it's not normally like that.
CHECK IT YOS!
