| - Once again, per my other Indian reviews, this review focuses on the buffet only. I love Indian buffets for the variety, the price, and the speed at which I can move curry into my stomach. Samosa Grill is one of the best.
I have been to Samosa Grill several times (I've lost count). We've enjoyed their normal buffet as well as their seafood buffet. I strongly recommend both. The food is always tasty and fresh. It could do with being spicier, as their buffets are very tame. This is normal though, as most Indian buffets cater to Western customers who usually don't like it spicy.
You'll find the usual favourites, such as Butter Chicken, unless you go during a seafood night. I really enjoy the seafood buffet and would suggest going if you want to try something a little bit different. But Samosa Grill is not without it's problems.
Samosa Grill is one of the many Indian restaurants that serve naan bread to your table and don't include it on the buffet table. This drives me crazy, as you usually have to wait for it to be made, which can sometimes not come until well into your second helping. I go to Indian buffets because I don't want to wait, and I'm usually starving.
The other issue is service. This seems to be common during buffets at even the best Indian restaurants. It's frustrating. I've had to order my drink several times, wait patiently for water, and sit around wanting to pay with nobody in sight. If this was my one and only Indian buffet experience, this review would likely only get 3 stars. But since poor service has been a common and consistent experience at every Indian restaurant, but one, I have to give 4 stars. As for that one restaurant that would get 5 stars, sadly they went out of business a few months ago.
