It was our first time visiting Delhi Indian Cuisine and we hit up their Saturday lunch buffet. It's a fairly large restaurant, but they do divide one area for the buffet seating. It's currently $19.99 for adults and $12.99 for ages 6-8. Five and under are free. Beverages are extra, despite the website's misleading notion that champagne, lassi, and soda were included in the buffet. (Check in on yelp and you can get a free mango lassi!)
Items on the lunch buffet line:
* Kadai Chole (Garbanzo Beans)
* Vegetable Samosa - It was so fresh and hot!
* Chicken Tikka Masala
* Punjabi Khadi - This had a little kick.
* Aloo Beans
* Goat Curry (Bone-In) - The Little Guy was so focused on this, despite us having goat for dinner all week long already.
* Chicken Curry
* Chicken Biryani - The Little Gal really loved this.
* Tandoori Chicken
* Palak Paneer - Theirs was a bit underwhelming, which was surprising.
* Yellow Dal Fry - The Husband couldn't stop eating this one.
* Peas Pulao Rice
* Kheer Rice Pudding
* Halwa - This was my first time seeing Halwa offered on a buffet line and it was a pleasant surprise. It's like a carrot-based sweet pudding-type dish.
* Vegetable Pakora
* Paneer Tikka Masala
* Naan - It was standard naan.
* Lettuce, Red Onions, Lemon, Jalapenos, Cucumbers, Oranges, Cantaloupe, Tamarind Sauce, Mint Sauce, Yogurt Sauce
* Mixed Pickle - Quite refreshing mix with chunks of whole lemons bits in there and it packed a little heat.
I usually try a little of everything, but it does get all mixed up a bit on my plate.
Although they open at 11 am, I would suggest arriving a little after as everything is not out yet. I asked the staff if naan bread was included and they said it was, and it was coming out soon. So, I was waiting for them to bring the naan bread. I did not realize they added it to the buffet line as other restaurants (and I do believe they did previously) bring it directly to your table.
Their mango lassi is super thick and rich. It's very tasty, but very filling. And they do serve a nice size too. (Just as well that it was not included in the buffet as you can easily fill up on that!)
Service is minimal as everything is really left for the customer to do. The water jugs are on the table, along with cups. You pour your own water, but do need to ask for ice if you want that. They will clear your table of dirty dishes, but you'll get your own utensils.
Overall, it was a decent experience. We brought one friend who had never had Indian food before and he thought it was just okay and lacked any heat. His mother, who loves Indian food, loved it all. So, no complaints from her.
Apparently they have Groupon deals, which we were not aware of. Not entirely sure if you can use it during the lunch buffet though.
