Had the worst lunch ever. Seriously.
I am a fan of Indian food and I have been trying out different restaurants in the area. I was intrigued by the good reviews which I have no idea how this place got. We went for the Saturday Buffet.
The food was terrible. Low quality. The sauces were all very watery. The trays and presentation were unappetizing. Food lacked pleasant texture and the trays were either too dry or watered down slop. The food was waaay overspiced. You might say that Indian is supposed to be spicy - yes it is - but there was nothing there in the buffet to cool it down. Your mouth is burning and you lose any flavor. We were brought a pitcher of lukewarm water without ice. The raita, my go -to for cooling down my mouth - was watery and way too spicy. How do you cool down hot and spicy with something else that's just as spicy? And before you say - "well it's authentic" I've had authentic Indian cuisine elsewhere before. If it's well done there is supposed to be a balance of spice and flavor. This food did not have that balance at all. The Tandoori Chicken was dry. All the meat was full of bones. The poori tasted awful - I've had it where it's light and crispy. This tasted stale and crunchy - I don't know if they actually make it here but to me it felt like they bought it prepackaged and then left the packaging open for a couple of days before setting it out. My husband and I struggled to find anything edible, and we tried most of the buffet.
The price for the Saturday buffet felt like to total rip-off for the offerings.
TLDR: The food did not look or taste like anyone cared. Mostly hot spicy watery slop in trays and overdry chicken. There are way better Indian places around here.
