| - This buffet is very average. There were some items I liked and some that I didn't, but nothing wowed me.
The sitting area is large and they can hold a good volume of people. The staff was nice, but a little disorganized. We had to let a couple people know before we actually got our naan. The ambiance is very casual and it makes for a nice lunch place.
In the appetizers, the Tandoori Chicken was cold on the outside from sitting out so long and only tasted okay. The Shish Kabob was tasty, but not one of the kinds that I could keep eating. I had a couple pieces and was done. The Samosa, I would rave about. Though the filling had a little too much peas for my taste, they were really yummy. In most samosas, my favorite part is the little end where there is no filling and the dough is crunchy, and in this samosa, all of the dough tasted like that edge piece. Simply wonderful!
One really good thing about this place is that they deliver fresh naan to your table. Other buffets have the naan cut up as part of the buffet, but when there isn't a high turn around, you know those naans have been sitting for a while. Not the case at this place, they offered us plain or butter, but we asked for garlic and they obliged. It did take a little while for the naan to actually come out after we had ordered it, but it more than made up for the wait with the quality.
The main dishes is where I was most disappointed with this buffet. Chicken Makhani was pretty good. It had good layers of flavor. Unfortunately, at they tray seemed like the chicken pieces were either very small or had been picked through by other guests. The Chicken Curry had no flavor, and I only ate a little. There were a couple of vegetarian options, which was good to see for the vegetarian folk out there. I'm not a fan of brinjal, so I didn't try that, but I did try the Chana Masala, which was decent, although, not my favorite. All in all, there was nothing super exciting in terms of the main dishes.
For desert, I tried both the Gulab Jamun and the Kheer. The Kheer wasn't sweet enough for my taste. The Gulab Jamun, on the other hand, was pretty spot on. They were nice and warm too!
Overall, this buffet did not hold up to its reputation, but it was a good value for the amount of food that you get for the price you pay.
