This would easily be a one star review if the manager or owner had not intervened. Came in close to closing time and asked if they were still serving, waitress said yes. Sat down, was not offered anything to drink besides water, waitress seemed smitten with a rowdy group of locals. No problem, was hoping for some chai but water it is. On to the buffet...there was no tandoori, a main staple of any buffet, no naan, no pakoras and most of the vegetables were gone or near the end and had seen better days. When I asked the waitress if she was able to refill some of these items, she seemed to have understood only naan, said yes then returned from the kitchen offering roti instead. At this point we had somewhat served ourselves rice and chicken masala but I had not touched it, told them I would rather not eat there in that case. Indian and no naan? Blasphemy. Dear gluten-free fans: Stay far away from that roti.
To be fair to them, and as the manager pointed out, it was close to closing time, however, don't seat people if you can't serve food. Another table had a giant pile of tandoori on a communal plate that they wasted, that probably didn't help matters. Manager had fresh naan, tandoori and pakoras brought to us, and they were delicious. Still not quite a buffet, no veggies. Also some Indian places make the food extra rich so people don't eat as much. I still feel weirdly stuffed, and I didn't even eat that much. I wish I could give it 3 stars and actually intended to, but as I started writing this just couldn't, it really was below average. I do appreciate it when managers at least attempt to rectify though.
