  • Biryani House seemed attractive at first, with its easily accessible location (right across from Wellesley subway station) and a very affordable buffet menu. But after a couple of visits there I've come to realize that it's too good to be true. Why? The food is pretty good - they make a tasty eggplant bartha and roast up tandoori chicken that's tender and flavourful. The buffet will often rotate items so you can find something new to try .Basics like butter chicken, chana masala, pakoras, kofta and saag paneer are all done decently, though I've had better in Toronto for similar buffet prices. At the prices on the regular menu, I'm not convinced that the quality of the food would be worth what you'd be paying, but you can load up your plate at lunch with some tasty stuff. But what's my biggest strike against this place? Terrible service. We came into the restaurant for an earlyish lunch and it was totally empty - no one was even around to seat us, ask us about drinks or even bring by a menu. After sitting down for a moment and getting no response, we just headed on up to the buffet. The staff were sort of shadowing us the whole time we looked it over. One of my companions wasn't all that familiar with Indian food and the staff were a bit brusque and not very helpful when she asked about the preparation of different dishes. We ordered mango lassis that took forever to arrive (though they were refreshing and sweet.) Perhaps most strikingly, there was no naan available when we arrived! No naan? At an Indian buffet? Really? When we asked, we were told that it would be brought to our table... it never happened, and when we checked up on it they denied it entirely. We finished up, and our bill was rushed onto the table before I'd even had a chance to let them know I was going to order some masala chai. If you care about half decent service, don't visit Biryani House! Otherwise, the lunch buffet is OK, moreso if you're lucky to get one of the better-than-average dishes on the rotation.
