| - It was difficult to decide between a four and five star review. They excel with their food and fail at the basics.
The coffee is instant and awful. The tea was instant and apparently some sort of tropical tea blend. It was worse than the coffee. All their other beverages are housed in glass convenient store coolers. The waitress was very nice but easily distracted.
However, their food is terrific. It's a small buffet of about eight items. None of the food suffered the usual buffet pratfalls (old, chewy, burnt, or plain forgotten). The real treat is that all the dishes are homemade. The food reminded me of food I would eat at a person's home.
The food is spiced but not spicy and because of that the dishes have a deep intriguing flavor that spice- babies could enjoy.
There is a subtly and beautifully spiced white cream sauce that comes with wonderfully large and freshly cut sweet potatoes and green beans.
The curry is excellent. It has the classic neon yellow glow of good curry sauce. It has large chunks of potatoes, carrots, okra, and beef. The beef is nicely tender.
Another dish was filled with various beans, vegetables, and chicken on the bone cooked to oblivion. It's all housed in a succulent deep red sauce of chicken fat and paprika. It was a little like gumbo and a little like authentic goulash. It was masterful.
The fried chicken is very good although it does seem out of place.
The salmon was a single fillet nicely cooked and lightly seasoned. It flaked apart perfectly.
They have other dishes as well. Personally, I am suffering from food amnesia.
The food is fantastic. The atmosphere is lacking. The lay out is tight. The drinks are awful. The servers are mediocre. But, I reiterate, the food is fantastic.
