Maybe a la carte is a more hospitable experience. The lunch buffet was mediocre at best. While their sign says they serve til 2:30, don't let that reel you in. By 2:10 the cook staff are serving themselves. Nothing is refreshed or replenished within an hour of the end of the buffet. Perhaps it was the soccer game on in the bar area that made the waiters routinely remind customers--we close at 2:30. Places like Tamarind, Taj Mahal and Indian Palace are far superior in both the quality of their cuisine and in the sincerity of their hospitality.
