Solid lunch buffet and consistently good takeout. The restaurant was about half-filled on a weekday, and most people seemed to be regulars. The space was clean, open, and inviting. I've been to Taaza many times, but most recently stopped in for the lunch buffet and was happy with the selection. I eat veg-only, and enjoyed a dal-based dish and a paneer-based butter curry dish.
They brought plain naan and a plain dosa to the table, included in the price of the buffet. They also had raita and a wide selection of chutneys in the buffet, which was great with the apps. There were (mainly lemon) pickles in the buffet which you don't always get. Yum!
Unfortunately, their pekoras where chili poppers that day, which weren't my jam. However, I was still able to find plently I liked. I think the addition of a spinach-based veg curry would have rounded out the offerings nicely. However, what they had was sufficient.
The curries were a bit watery by my standards, which was a bit disappointing. The flavors were on point though! Also, they had both gulab jamun (soaked sweet balls) and gajar ka halwa (carrot dessert) in the buffet. Both of these desserts could be the main event at a buffet, so I was excited to see them both!
Service wasn't super relevant, since it was a buffet setting. However, I always had a glass of water and dirty plates were cleared quickly. So, overall, I was satisfied. I did end up being a little confused on if I had to wait for a bill or pay at the front, but quickly asking cleared that up (pay at the front for the buffet).
Overall, this was a good experience. I'll pop in again soon!
