Buffet dining is often akin to culinary gambling. You are lured in by the chance of victory based on so much choice but more often than not you lose in terms of food quality and/or taste. Tandoori Flame is far from spectacular and the succinct comment from our Punjabi hosts said it all: Their standards have dropped.
Several dishes were just OK and a few downright disappointing. In the latter category their rendition of Jalebi, a classic Indian sweet, was somewhat sour. Definitely not a flavour profile one expects from this traditionally, intensely sweet dish.
Drinks are expensive and when our host wanted a non-alcholic version of their cocktail the server repeatedly said in a monotone parrot like tone that it will cost the same. Only after being told in two languages that "we don't care about the cost, we'd just like it without alcohol" did she relent.
One standout dish that my host highly recommended because of its rarity and unique flavour was their Pindi Channa. Though similar in colour to Dal Makhani it's cooked sans cream and therefore drier. It has a distinct hint of tartness and tastes nothing like its more famous lentil cousin. The other was their Tawa Chicken which was quite delicious and very fresh as I noticed it being replenished regularly during our visit.
You'll fare far better going a la carte at Kwality Sweets which is only 10 minutes away
