| - "Weird as hell" is how I would describe our dining experience at the lunch buffet. To say that the service was poor would imply that there was any. When we first arrived for lunch, no one greeted us, even though several people walked in and out of the back kitchen area. Finally I walked up to the kitchen opening and called out "hello! hello!" A man in a t-shirt and jeans walked out, seemed a little flustered by our presence, and then pointed to some tables for us.
After sitting down with our food (see description below), we noticed there wasn't any water. There also wasn't any service staff. When we finally saw the t-shirt and jeans man walk out of the kitchen we called to him and asked for water, at which point he did a double take, apparently overwhelmed by this request. A few minutes later, a young girl in t-shirt and jeans who appeared to be about 15 yrs old, emerged with a plastic pitcher of lukewarm tap water with 3 ice cubes floating in it. Thankfully we remembered we had bottled water in the car.
We had to wait so long for the girl to re-emerge that we gave up and got paper towels from the bathroom upon realizing that there were no napkins on the table.
The food selection was sad: 2 of the 8 or so dishes were comprised of watery broth with a couple of carrots floating in it. One dish was fried baby corns that had been dyed red. Thoroughly unappetizing, even less so than the watery broths. Another dish was the Tikka Marsala sauce that usually one finds chicken in, but this one had none, this dish was called "butter sauce." There was a fish curry which was surprisingly decent, and tandoori chicken (ok). These were the only 2 protein choices. There were not even any lentil dishes! The naan, idli and orange slices were all that kept us from going completely hungry.
I would be entirely unsurprised to learn that this place was actually a drug or gambling front.
