| - I ended up in Bramalea a few times recently that saw me needing to have dinner, and as my reviews show, I enjoy indulging in Indian, so after having an experience at Bombay Palace, I thought I should try the other buffet up the road.
I was not as impressed here as I was at Bombay Palace.
The buffet was larger, with a vaster selection, but there were downfalls.
Started as customary with a mango lassi. It was too thick. Thankfully there was ice in it, which as melted, thinned the consistency.
Moving on to the apps, there was a nice display and variety. Samosa, pakora, salads and papadum. But unfortunately for my child, all contained a level of spice too hot for a child. I saw chilli peppers in all these, although I enjoyed, my son could only chew papadum for this part of the meal.
Moving on to the mains, the selection was large. Larger than Bombay Palace, but, none were labeled for spice level. (Medium hot/hot/extremely hot) knowing what should and should not be is one thing, but noticing chilli's simmering in the saag paneer, one of my almost six year olds favourite dishes, I had to tell him there was none. Near all the dishes had a level of hot to them, mind you I enjoy, but it was not child friendly at all. Sure they had pizza and fries available for children, bit some children (like mine) actually enjoy curries. The shahi paneer and butter chicken were mild enough for him, but no channa, or dahl. As well, this buffet featured goat, not Lamb. I would prefer not to worry about bones. The chicken curries, used the cheaper cuts (leg/thigh) while the cost was 20% higher than Bombay Palace who used breast meat in their curries. Finally I tried the biryani here, and like the remainder of my meal it was disappointing. The mint content was absolutely overwhelming, rendering me incapable of finishing the portion I served myself.
Deserts were plentiful, mango or pistachio ice cream with the norms, plenty of sweets. No complaints here.
Generally I felt the food to be generic, it didn't tickle my palate, I could easily do a better job at home, but that is defeatist to the point of going out, and unfortunately my child was limited in his selection, due to an overall overuse of chilli/cayenne and peppers.
Would I return, perhaps if my son was not with me, but the odds of being in Bramalea, without him for dinner are relatively slim, so it may be a few years before I would entertain the thought of trying this place again.
