| - New, but not new. We were here before, but it was a different place. Still Indian food, but apparently under new management.
Upon entering the first thing that was obvious was they were very busy and most of their customers were Indian. That's a good sign.
As with the previous place, the buffet still is very small. There were perhaps 6 vegetarian items, and 6 "regular" items. Except that included the desserts. They didn't even ask if I wanted a menu, they just said to go to the buffet. I get the feeling they don't like people ordering off the menu.
The food itself was good. The goat curry you wouldn't know it was goat if it wasn't labeled. It could easily have been beef (but wasn't, for religious reasons, I suspect). The tikka was good also, and they had a rice dish that was very tasty. I think it was labeled as a mushroom rice, although I didn't notice any mushrooms. But it was very nice. They also had biryani, and it was good too. All in all, the food was good.
They are a bit pricey. Just under $10 for the buffet (weekday lunch). And if I wanted a Coke it would have been extra (though they did have the real-sugar Coke). When we were done paying the check was very inefficient. They don't bring it to the table, you go to the register and tell them how many buffets, and then (eventually) get your credit card and run it. I'm not sure what was going on, but the group in front of me had a conversation with the register person (owner??) that I couldn't understand, and it took a long time before he finally asked me how many buffets I needed to pay for.
As I said, the food is pretty good. But for the price there are better Indian places. Because of the YELP scale I have to rate one "$" (under $10), but it was just barely under $10. It seemed pricey to me for a simple lunch buffet.
