*Review is for LUNCH BUFFET ($11.99)*
Ah..Urban Turban...+0.29 stars for the clever and catchy name..it'll make sense when you walk in and see how they've put a hipster spin on their ambiance.
DO TRY...
- TANDOORI CHICKEN - 54/5 (not a typo...that's a 54 out of 5) - easily BEST tandoori chicken of my life! So juicy...so tender...so red...so beautiful. Other indian places ive been to have too much of a smoky flavor to their tandoori chicken but Urban Turban's was perfect. I literally cannot think of any complaints. TRY IT!
- GOAT CURRY - 4.5/5 - im not even a big fan of goat but their goat curry was delish. Nice tender and meaty chunks floating in curry..yum.
- GARLIC NAAN - 6/5 - comes out hot n' fresh to your table. emphasis on the HOT. and crispy. so fresh. and cripy. did I mention it was hot and crispy and fresh? GET IT! DIP IT IN ALL DA CURRIEZ.
- FRITTERS w/ Chutneys - 4.5/5 - Not what you'd traditionally picture a fritter to be, expect more like deep fried slivers of onion, but very tasty. Please do yourself a favor and don't forget to dip the fritters in the chutneys. Salivating jus thinking about it.. ..
- BUTTER CHICKEN - 3.5/5 - too buttery for my taste but still worth a try.
- 'RICE' PUDDING - 4/5 - pretty sure they labeled it rice pudding BUT its basically like angel hair pasta pieces in sweet milk with raisins tossed in. sounds unappetizing and looks unappetizing but I had 3 bowls of it. nom.
DONT GET TOO EXCITED ABOUT...
SALAD- not your traditional salad...more cabbage than lettuce. I'd pass on this.
GULAB JAMUN - mysterious brown balls floating in a syrup. usually my favorite thing to eat an indian restaurant but theirs seemed to have a stronger ginger flavor I wasn't diggin'. worth a try, but not such wow.
LOCATION/PARKING - 5/5 - Same plaza as Tacos & Beer. Not too far from The Strip. Parking was easy peasy on labor day morning.
SERVICE - 5/5 - Abundance of workers - every single one of them seemed genuinely friendly and attentive (usually a rarity at a cheap buffet!). Consistently checked up to see if we needed anything.
OVERALL - definitely worth a visit! Even a picky eater should be able to find at least 1 thing they'd enjoy -- even vegetarians!
P.S - no infamous post-indian-food-poops for me! My tastebuds were happy, my wallet was happy, my stomach and butt was happy. 5 stars!
