| - Don't believe a word I write about Indian Paradise because, after all, I am a devotee of Indian food. Don't believe me when I tell you that the lunch buffet here consists of about a dozen main dishes and at least ten of them are superb. Please don't believe me about just how delicious the tikka masalas are, or the saag paneer (creamy Indian cheese and spinach). Please, please, don't believe any of it, because if you do, then you will start coming here and your friends will follow and soon I won't be able to get a table.
Seriously, the secret of Indian Paradise is that they cook everything very expertly. The only downside -- it is a relatively small buffet -- is really a blessing in disguise, because if they had even one more option, I would have to try it and would then be unable to rise from my chair at the end of the meal.
Here is what you will get (in general, as the menu varies somewhat from day to day): chicken tandoori, chicken and/or goat curry (their goat is a rare misfire, often too bony), chicken or cheese tikki masala, at least one creamy spinach dish, a couple of other meat entrees, lentils, several vegetarian options, at least one of which will be pretty spicy, rice, naan and one other bread, a couple of appetisers (like samosas, for example), a half dozen sauces, and rice pudding and honeyed cheese balls for dessert. To drink, included in the price, try the mango lassi.
Hints: Don't eat breakfast. Don't worry about cooking dinner.
