On the
surface this is a basic, campus-area Indian restaurant. It has a buffet
for lunch and dinner, and a fairly standard menu. It is housed in a former
cheese-steak joint, and so it has a somewhat incongruous tile decor, and
looks a bit like a diner from the outside.
But dig a little
deeper, and one finds an excellent restaurant.
The buffet is very
good, with a wide variety that should satisfy vegetarians and meat-eaters
alike. It is refreshed frequently, and the quality of most things is close
to what one would expect if ordering from the menu. Of course a few things
just don't stand up to sitting on a steam table, but most of the curries
do fine.
One thing that is
worth ordering special is the hard-to-find Masala Dosa. These are occasionally
on the buffet, but they are a pale shadow of their a-la-carte manifestation.
Ordered fresh from the kitchen, they are huge rolled lentil crêpes,
filled with potatoes, vegetables and spices.
There's no sense
going through each of the available appetizers and entrees. The food is
consistently high quality, so get whatever looks good.
If you are new to
Indian food, and a little overwhelmed by the menu, get the buffet. It
is labeled, so make a note of the things you like, and try them from the
menu another time.
The buffet is about
$10 for dinner. There are often coupons in the weekly papers, and sometimes
a student discount.
