Wow, another brand new Buffet, & is it ever good!  This is a small Pakistani place serving about 40.  The food is unusual compared to the other Indian & Pakistani Buffets in the Valley, a little spicy, & everything I tried was just great!  There were…More »

It's been almost 7 months since I reviewed the excellent lunch buffet here, so it was time to drop back in & see how they're doing.  Mike C. joined me for a first visit here.

First off, this is a small, cozy, very comfortable place.  You enter to a…More »

Stopped back in here for the Lunch Buffet today, joined by Norm R., Arlin B. & Mike C.  Unfortunately, my pen wouldn't write, & I'm not any good at memorizing the names of Indian dishes, but there were 20 main items & everything was delicious!  I…More »

  Update - 3/24/2012

I've enjoyed eating here several times since my original review almost three years ago.  As I noted before, this place just drips with authenticity!  Outside you are in Tempe, USA, standing in front of a blah looking, windowless restaurant.  As soon…More »

Hey hey, it's another new Indian Buffet!     :-)

Ok, let's get some little negatives out of the way first:

*  The Lunch Buffet serving line featured only a smallish 15 main items, with 20+ the norm for this kind of place.  There should have been…More »

These guys have some nerve opening an Indian Buffet right catty-corner from the best one in the Valley, Kabab Palace.  It'd better be good!     :-O

Ok, so upon entry this brand new place presents clean, up to the minute styling and both booth & table…More »

So Copper Kettle in Mesa closed, following Copper Kettle in Tempe.  (Same family, different reasons).

The good news is that they have sprung back to life over here in the former home of Indus Village.  Like Indus, this restaurant is Pakistani, not…More »
