We had the lunch buffet here. We saw it being rated high on Google so decided to give it a try. I should preface this by saying that I understand that food is generally bland in a buffet. That said, when it comes to Indian food, you can make it less spicy but keep it flavorful. I would not say that was the case today. Their buffet does offer a good variety which is of good value for the $18.99/person. The restaurant was also clean and the staff was friendly. But the food itself is where most of the negatives are.
This is clearly a South Indian restaurant so I expected the South Indian food to be a lot better than other foods. Idli was dry but tasted good. Uttapam was good as well. Both the texture and flavor was good. It was a bit surprising that they didn't have any coconut chutney but still the chutneys were flavorful. Sambhar (to me) was salty and not very good.
Moving on to the entrees. They had about 6 different vegetarian dishes. The green peas were VERY salty, navratan korma was without any flavor as was most other food. I'll say that the palak paneer is where they've perfected food that's flavorful but not spicy. The paneer Manchurian was extremely watered down & malai kofta just tasted like pure cream w/o flavor. This is my gf's favorite food. She tried one bite from my plate and didn't even get some for herself.
Moving on to non-veg: tandoori chicken was nothing to write home about, but it was not bad. Chicken Tikka and chicken 65 were straight terrible. The most disappointing thing to me was that chicken curry (which I would qualify as a. Main South Indian dish) was watered down and was very oily. It was so bad that I didn't have the courage to try the goat curry. Naans were well stocked but they were rather hard and had been sitting for a while.
Lastly, the ras malai was decent. May be even slightly better than decent. Mango custard was pretty decent as well.
To summarize, I may be willing to give this place a 2nd shot at dinner but would not eat buffet here again. We were really craving Indian food and what we had was a very salty, watered version of Indian food and I would 100% recommend against eating buffet here.
