Critic's Review
Felt like some Indian food; time to try another buffet.
I know better than to go to a buffet after 2pm, so I got here at 1:40. There was 1 person in the dining room, and he was just finishing up. My instincts told me to turn around and walk out.
You should always listen to your instincts.
I took a seat and a dude brought over a glass of water. He didn't offer to get me a drink.
Plastic cup, no straw. No ice. Great Start.
So I hit the buffet. .
A lot of old looking stuff. This is the danger of The Buffet, there was ZERO chance they'd be putting out anything fresh. I usually start with a salad. No tomatoes. White onions. Iceberg lettuce. Much of the buffet food didn't look edible. There were only 2 meat dishes; butter chicken and goat curry. One of the rices was clumpy and had raisins in it; so white was my only choice.
Cold tandoori chicken, The goat was tough and was LOADED with bones. So much so that it was uncomfortable eating it. Who wants a mouthful of bones with every forkful? There was some sort of deep fried fritter that was ice cold and unidentifiable. Just leave it on the plate.
I also didn't like the soup.
No seasoning. Bland, mushy. No thanks.
They made the bread fresh; I think you get a plate for the table as they never put any out on the buffet. At least there was the bread, which was host and not bad. One piece was doughy; it wasn't consistent.
Adding insult to injury was the bad music blaring; not Bollywood, but the kind of music that belly dancers might spin to.
I tried to find another plate of stuff.
The butter chicken was cold but provided some needed protein. ICE cold yellow lentils: yum. Curried mixed vegetables. Meh. Time to get out of this place.
$11.95 for this. Go somewhere else. Trust me on this one.
Conclusion
It appears that everyone knows about this buffet, because this is the first time ever that I was at a buffet totally by myself for about 20 minutes (some people came in as I was leaving. Haha on them). This place is as bad as Indian Chiles, if not worse.
