Three of us went for lunch yesterday to this place. From the outside, it looks a little run down because of the pawn shop next door and the crowd around the building. Inside, I found the place to be clean and nicely decorated, although the seating and tables looked a little cheap with their cafeteria style chairs.
The staff was quite friendly, although it seemed like a total sausage fest with no females in sight. The host was male and the wait staff were also males. That said, the host was great and the staff was attentive, so I have no complaints.
Since the place was a buffet, we didn't examine the menus and I don't know how their pricing is for individual items.
On to the food. We all found that the food tasted really good, but I did notice that the rice was overcooked at the bottom of the pot (it was hard) and the butter chicken was pretty dry, even with the sauce. There is no fresh naan bread, and you have to keep asking for it. Otherwise, the food is great and I have no regrets going there as it was better than most Indian restaurants in the city.
The bill was around $70 for three, which is higher than most for an Indian lunch buffet. I think the soft drinks are priced at $4/person, which is on the higher side.
