| - The only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars instead of 1 is their naan bread was fantastic.
I'm hungry and craving some Indian food, so I stop in. I'd eaten here a few years ago and thought it was pretty good but not great. So I go in and the lady at the counter who is none too welcoming tells me to go sit "whereever". So I do, assuming she will bring me some water and then I'll go to the buffet. But I'm sitting there for a while, about to just go to the buffet when she comes over and rudely says "You can go get a plate." I'm wondering if I've offended her in some way but as I haven't really said or done anything, I figure not. As I go to fill up my plate, I (and the entire restaurant) hear her yelling into the kitchen and the tone was not friendly. Someone yells back, also not in friendly or joking tones.
Now, I look at the items in the buffet, and it looks pretty sparse. Granted, the place hadn't just opened, it was after 1. But still. Rice, a chicken korma, a spinach dish, a vegetarian dish, maybe two sad pieces of tandoori chicken, no onions or lemon with in. But, I figure, maybe they had a lunch rush and maybe I'm spoiled into having a larger variety. I check out the "salad" part of the buffet, pretty standard stuff. The food was very bland, even for me who doesn't like really spicy. All the food seemed to have a similar flavor to it. Then I tasted one of the relishes- bad idea- I had to spit it out it was so noxious. I'm not even sure what it was,maybe something with olives (my husband is constantly amazed that I will eat things I don't recognize) but it was bad, bad, bad! Inedible. Heinous.
At this point, I'm really wishing the waitress/greeter would bring me the water I still haven't received so I can get this awful taste out of my mouth. She comes over and I politely ask her for water and if the buffet comes with naan bread which I see other customers eating. She says yes and stomps away. She brings me water finally and a few minutes LATER I see her order some naan bread from the kitchen. So I'm done with my meal and eventually she brings the bread, which, I will say right now, was outrageously good. So good I'm considering going back even though the meal itself was pretty terrible and the service worse. I go back to the buffet, convinced I've maybe missed something- like the really great milky tea or rice pudding some Indian buffets serve, but no. I'm out of luck. To top it off, I go over to pay, and I compliment the lady on the naan bread, to which she says nothing but tells me to wait there. I wait while she and several others clean up the entire buffet! After they are done, she comes over and does me the favor of letting me pay.
I couldn't really believe this experience, it was almost comical. Like one of those restaurants where it's their "thing" to be rude to the patrons....well, I will probably not be going back here even for the naan.
