This is supposedly the best (most authentic) Indian joint in E-town, but last night, the locals speculated that the main chef was taking a break. The location is a bit odd - right in the industrial area off the Sherwood Park Freeway.
The buffet was nominally $13.95 for dinner, but with an "elephant beer" x 2 and 2 dinners, we ended up spending $41.
The salad bar was skip-able (as per most Indian buffets). Mulligatawny soup was moderately delightful with some veg floating around in there. Rice was plain, but good. Veggie pakora was a bit different - mainly cauliflower with a salty slightly spicy covering and then deep fried. Certainly less batter than normal.
Lots of veggie options including yellow lentil daal, channa masala and egglplant/pepper curry. Meat eaters enjoyed goat curry, butter chicken, fish tandoori and chicken tandoori.
Crispy light naan came in baskets to the table.
Desserts were a highlight of the night - good rice pudding, warm gulab jaman, yellow custard item, pumpkin- coconut fudge (I really don't know what this stuff was, but it was pretty tasty) and fruit salad with pomegranate seeds.
Final consensus from the Toronto people - stick with Toronto for Indian buffet!
