Downgrading to 4 stars. Buffet variety is way down. Many items can be ordered separately. Now feels pricey. Great variety of sweets. They can make to order anything!
A Hidden GEM! BEST FOOD EVER! I have eaten at many posh places, the quality of food is absolutely out of this world. I was starving to death, and had plans to eat at another restaurant. This was the first restaurant since I was entering from tonnelle. It is way on the other side of Newark Ave if you come from the popular entrance from Kennedy Blvd. Looking at the exterior, I was hesitant to open the door. I had time to kill so decided to explore because my chole bhature order at Canteen restaurant had Wai time of 30 min to get ready. Incidentally the BEST CHOLE BHATURE ever like the ones if you have eaten in Amritsar street vendors. Very authentic. Anyway I digressed. I saw some buffet lined up. Decided to take a look. Boy was I surprised by the variety of vegetable curries, like 8 of them. On top of it various types chillies, you know they are loaded with healthy goodies like all vegetables. Frankly I was doing a sort IF, intermittent fasting, on top of it I had burned over 1600 kcal in my workout. I was wanting get electrolytes and eat different veggies. This was perfect. Ms Megha and other staff was serving with such love and affection like you are at home. This stuff money can't buy. They even had DAL-BATTI, a solid rajasthani dish: batti bathed in butter, done to perfection. That's not all. Pani puri, ras malai, two types of rice. You begal is well known for sweets. They had more variety of sweets than any place. Since I am eschewing sweets I did not try any. They had pakoda of so many types. So much food. But limit and take only what can eat, coz there is, aptly, a fine if you throw away food made so lovingly, it hurts. On top of it the even had masala dosa. I found about as I was done. I first refused, but then decided to take one. The best dosa, I need to stop saying ever, but it was so so delicious. The fermented dough started to digest the food, thank God, so I could walk, lol. If was to go again I will avoid the roti and rice, instead indulge in all the other goodies. Incidentally the buffet is the from 12 noon to 10pm 6days a week :off on Mondays. All for $12, what a treat. Be careful not expect too much of an ambiance. Bathroom is okay. Use plastic ware. Tear off paper from a big roll for napkin, must be temporary measure. All in all it stands tall in all the stuff that really matters.
