| - ********** THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE BUFFET ONLY **********
We've been going to this restaurant's buffet on and off for quite a while. We went again today after a long hiatus, because the last time we went, the food was so salty, I had to rinse my mouth with gasoline afterwards to get rid of the taste (naaah: I'm not overly dramatic at all).
So, first off, let's start by saying, that whatever salt was in the food today, it was very muted. The tandoori chicken was good, as it's always been, if not a little dry. But it is a buffet and food can sit for a while; chicken drying out on a buffet table is not unusual. I won't talk much about the other food, because, to be honest, I don't remember their names. But I can say, there is quite a variety for those with different tastes and a nice selection for what you'll pay.
The star of this restaurant --- never mind 'the buffet' or 'regular meals' or whatever ... I don't care --- is the naan bread. This is the one thing, which is done perfectly here: not too thick; not oily, which you find very often with this bread; nice and crispy, but not overcooked. Both of us agree: we could seriously make a meal of naan and a dipping sauce.
Service is, and always has been, pleasant. The one surprising change for me: at the back of the restaurant is a rather large mural with a nice, serene painting. Apparently, they use that area for groups and, according to the server, had a large one yesterday. I don't know, whether they've always had this, but there are curtains to block off the room from the view of the restaurant. That's fine and perfectly reasonable when you have groups. But the curtains are rather cheezy and I swore, they converted the place into a large shower room when I first saw it. When I asked the server about it, he quite graciously offered to open them, which, I said, was unnecessary. And it was. But it really gave the restaurant the impression of having come up with some cheap, quick solution to a situation and, as I said, made me feel like I could go rinse off in a hot tub behind the curtains after buffet was over.
The curtains and simplistically decorated restaurant are but minor distractions in an otherwise good buffet located in an area not known for good food. When you consider that Indian restaurants and buffets aren't exactly flooding the West Valley, then this place is something to really appreciate.
I could go on about what I would like to see on the buffet table and what would make it better; but, to be frank, you can do MUCH worse for what the lunch buffet costs. My only wish: please extend lunch buffet past 2:30pm. I know that's typical, but some of us eat later in the day. Just a wish; not a complaint.
