    We live close by and never got around to trying this place until last night.  It was a pleasant surprise, the buffet didn't have an enormous selection but everything was super tasty, and the service was great.

    The butter chicken was particularly delicious and kind of sweet, and the curry beef  was extra spicy without being unbearable. We'll definitely be back!

    We went here because we were waiting for the lady who does chest x-rays down the street to get back from lunch.  As a result, we were in a hurry.  When we went in, we told the guy we had about 30 minutes (we had an hour or so) and asked if he could make it happen.  He did.  Anyways, the food itself was pretty good.  I can see how the service would normally be slow (as Ben mentioned); the only other customer get there ten minutes after we did and got his food first.  

    I think we lucked out because we were there right when they opened and because we told him we had half as much time as we did.  We were able to finish within the timeframe and the food (chicken curry and chicken tikka) was pretty good.

    Really like the food here, the butter chicken isn't as sweet as many other indian places - I don't know if that makes it more or less authentic and frankly don't care, I don't like my savory dishes tasting like dessert.

    The Beef (or any meat) Vindaloo with melt your shorts and really test your cool, not a dish to order on a first date.

    The waiters try to upsell food a lot, but I have found that to be kinda common behavior in Indian restaurants.  They're generally not as subtle about it.

    Food ordered from the menu was excellent, but service was really slow, even though the restaurant was only at 50% capacity. Buffet left me disappointed.
