When you enter the restaurant you are welcomed by two life statues of people just like you and me except they are wearing traditional South Indian clothing. This is a nice touch, this and the wonderful beckoning interior color decor, fusia and oranges... very stimulating.\n\nOur group of 15 were a bit early but yet the owner of the restaurant graciously opened the all you can eat buffet for us, so we had first dibs at fresh tasty Indian food. This spot because of its downtown location caters to the downtown passerby's so therefore it affects the heat of the Indian food, it was quite mild than what I am used to.\n\nThe buffet itself has many options, most notably the nice assortment of bread and the desserts. The mango salad was so delicious and so was this carrot concoction. My personal favourite is the Gulab Jamon which I could eat forever and create a diabetic problem for myself. Thankfully I was already full with the buffet so I didn't indulge my sweet vice.\n\nThe lunch buffet is a bit steep at $20, I know other Indian places that charge $11 to $15 for a lunch buffet but I guess you are paying for the downtown location. All in all a nice Indian place to eat with milder South Indian flavours."^^ . "0"^^ .
