After seeing all of the four and five star ratings I couldn't wait to try this newer place. I didn't experience any of this wonderful food.
First of all the buffet table is one with a tray on both sides but you cannot get to the other side because it's against the wall. This means you have to lean over to reach the other side which in itself isn't so bad except it created a major traffic jam on the day I was here. Two people trying to decide what to take can block the whole line and did most of the time I was here. The food was most of the usual stuff except a dish with crab claws in it. The claws were not really eatable, they were very small and I gave up trying. Maybe they were just there for flavor like bones in soup. It was good but like all of the food here very rich and spicy. The exception was the tandoori chicken legs. They were the best I have had. Tender and very flavorful. My partner and I eat at Indian buffets once a month and I would say we know our way around most of the dishes. They were way too spicy or rich so something for us here. Even my favorite, goat curry had something in it that just didn't taste right to me. Most of the dishes were like that as far as were were concerned. They may cater to a certain crowd that likes this type of Indian but it wasn't us. There are others far better. This one costs 13 dollars which was overpriced, especially for the small selection of dishes. Give it a try if in the area. Maybe it's different on different days or maybe we like more Americanized Indian food. Up until now it was never a factor. The newer place in Middleton, Amber, has similar food and we love most everything there. Haldi Massala is not a place we would go back to but according to the other reviews lots of people do.
