| - No surprises here at this simple buffet. For $7.99 you can pig out on various vegetable dishes, chicken entrees, salad, and sweets like gulab jamun and carrot halwa.
The buffet was pretty basic. They had your standard dishes you'd see at an Indian buffet such as vegetable korma, chicken tikka masala, a saag (spinach) dish, and some dark meat tandoori chicken. They also had a tray of chicken vindaloo, a bright red dish with spicy heat!
Unfortunately, the dishes were lacking in that certain "punch" that makes Indian food, when done right, so remarkable. The vegetable korma was a little runny in consistency, and seemed to consist mainly of potatoes and not much else. Same could be said for the vindaloo. I couldn't really find any pieces of chicken in it, just potato. The chicken tikka masala was OK, but nothing really too impressive. There was also a tray of veggie pakora and basmati rice. I enjoyed the veggie pakora the most out of all the savory dishes. There were a lot of veggies packed into the fritter, fried until tender with a tasty batter. I also enjoyed the fresh garlic naan brought to the table.
There was also a salad area, condiments such as raita and chutney, and some dessert. Out of the two desserts (carrot halwa and gulab jamun), I liked the gulab jamun the most. It had that nice tender cake-like texture that the dish typically has, soaked in some sweet syrup.
Soda fountain drinks are $1.99 and consist of coke products.
The buffet for lunch is from Monday through Friday. The saving grace of the meal was the price point. Since it was just $7.99, I wasn't too disappointed that my meal consisted of mainly potatoes in various curries, rather than a multitude of various meats and veggies.
