| - I work just down the street from here and, on the advice of a colleague, tried the place out for the lunch buffet today. I have to say, it was quite delicious. Very large selection (including a lot of vegetarian dishes). Most of the time, you go to an Indian buffet and, before you even get there, you already know what there will be because a lot of places just phone it in with the usual palak paneer, aloo gobi, chicken tikka masala, etc. While all those were present here, they had a lot of things I've never gotten to try before, like jalebi (think India's answer to a funnel cake), that were delicious. Really, the only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the one shrimp dish on the buffet (which suffered from overcooked shrimp).
Furthermore, I was greatly impressed by the staff actually seeking my opinion on the buffet and looking for constructive criticism. It shows that they actually care and want to make it an enjoyable dining experience for their patrons. Places like Oakland have no shortage of Indian restaurants but this is going to be my go-to for Indian when I'm in the area.
Definitely give it a try.
