Well, wow. I have been back like, 7 times in the past month since that initial visit. It is by far my favorite Indian lunch buffet place. I had 3 in the running but Mt Everest is on top. First, the price. I believe it is 10.99... not bad. Second, the choices. It has the most choices I've seen! What could make this place better? If their labels were more specific. I love the way some buffets put "vegetarian"; as a 75% vegetarian I like a quick reference guide to vegetarian options. But... with my minor knowledge of Indian food I know what most of their dishes are. If it were my first exposure to Indian food, however, I would be S.O.L!
Also another thing they could make better. Their naan. I don't like their naan. I like buttery, garlicy soft guusy naan. This is not my favorite place for naan (Saffron is). If you like medium-textured, little buttered, barely garlic-ed naan then you would like it. Other than that, it's so good! Their choices are amazing.
Final thing (this is the Nutrition student in me): They are so sanitary! One of the only Indian buffets I've seen with in-place "sneeze guards" on their buffet. Their buffet is actually buffet style so it has the coverings. Furthermore, their bathroom has a sanitary spray above the handle. How great! So even if nasties don't wash their hands, I won't get their germs from when they open the bathroom door open. Foodborne illness is no joke, yo.
P.S.
Try the sweet rice!

The Bollywood they play on TV is a great compliment to the atmosphere.
