| - Having been here for the buffet when it was run under a different name (Biryani House, I believe), I wanted to return to get my fill of a variety of Indian dishes. At 10 bucks for a lunch buffet, this cannot be beat. Slightly odd to have only a few other tables busy at 2pm but it had everything I would want for a satisfying meal on a cold and rainy spring day- perhaps that's why it was not busy.
Not only did it boast a variety of curries (butter chicken, channa/chickpea curry, dahl, and what I think was either goat or lamb in sauce), but it also had the accompanying sides that help round out a meal (pakoras, raita/yoghurt with mint, cucumbers, and carrots, as well as safron rice and naan bread).
My only (slight) complaint would be that the goat/lamb sauce was a bit greasy and the meat was difficult to eat off bones with skin, though this is perhaps hard to avoid. I appreciated that the items were not swimming in pools of grease, as can happen at buffets. I also would have enjoyed garlic naan or something more upscale but perhaps that is for purchase or special request?
I am unsure of whether the management/owner has changed, or if it is the name only. This location is great - try to sit by the window and watch the world go by. Linger after the meal for a few minutes with a glass of water.
This place is worth a visit, not because it has sixty buffet items (because it doesn't) but because everything in the buffet was fresh, which is what is difficult to deliver in a buffet setting.
