| - wow. such an upgrade since i used to spend countless lunch buffets with coworkers, back in the day when i used to work in the howard hughs pkway offices... i took my wife there for lunch just last week.
the GRUB:
- chutneys and sauces galore
- plenty of your veggie favorites: stewed chick peas, saag paneer (spinach with cheese), curry potatoes and peas, fried onion dumplings, and other dishes - all delicious
- meat too - tandori grilled chicken, chicken tikka, butter chicken, etc.
- got bread and carbs? basatmi rice, naan, rice cakes, spicy noodle dish, samosas... all good.
- dessert: mango custard with fruit, fried brown sugar pastries in a sugary syrup sauce, and fresh fruit - yummy.
- hot tea, coffee, mango lassi, sodas and juices available.
the JOINT:
- such a turn around from when i used to frequent years back... the white table clothes have been replaced by all wood tables covered by fancy black linens... the open balcony now houses private dining areas perfect for parties that want an intimate booth... even the buffet section is granite counter tops with built in buffets - fancy. much fancier than the old tables with the buffet heat trays...
- indian decor - many intricate paintings and woodwork abound, including a huge wooden hand carved goddess at the entry... floor to ceiling curtains and fabrics of india surround you. very nice.
- plenty of seating
- clean and upscale (especially for a buffet)
the SQUEEZE:
- friendly and attentive service as always.
- about $25 per person for lunch - a little pricey.
- cash and card accepted
the FINAL SAY:
my wife and i enjoyed our lunch buffet, and it kept us full for most of the day... and for me, it was such a pleasant surprise to see that the owner has done so much to upgrade on such a great indain buffet restaurant.
