"Lakruwana on Staten Island might have the best AYCE deal of anywhere on this guide, but it’s only available on the weekends. For $20.99, this bright, lantern-filled Sri Lankan spot offers a buffet laid out with exceptional pork curry, several vegetable dishes, dal, and more. The buffet is on from 12:30-9:30pm, and if you show up at a peak meal time, there will probably be wait. Thanks to a 90-minute time limit, it shouldn’t be too long, and you can reward your patience by eating your weight in egg curry and eggplant under the watchful eye of a Buddha statue. Lakruwana is also BYOB, so bring a bottle of champagne to make your own mimosas." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, bryan kim
