It is rare that a restaurant really impresses me, especially when I have pretty high expectations. Our first visit was prior to my wife’s pregnancy-related aversion to indian food. So I waited for months to go back. Months of anticipation, expecting great food. And it did not disappoint. If you’re into Indian, this place is wicked and is a buffet style place. Yeah, I know, buffet – normally bad news – but here it’s a good thing. You get to try a whole bunch of well prepared dishes, and I can’t imagine there’s much room to improve on their nan – it’s extremely good. It’s the usual butter chicken, lamb masala, lentils, chick pea type fare – roughly a dozen choices or so. Today I tried a fresh cheese curry, and a soft cheese donut-like cake in a warm syrup with a cold rice pudding. All excellent. And the service is excellent – very attentive about drinks and nan and generally making sure you’re happy. The booths and chairs are cool. Lunch buffet 7 days a week $9.95, evenings $13.95 [open at 11:30]. Bargain.
