Lesson #1 about indian buffets, don't eat too much. Let's just say me and indian buffets don't have a great history together when it comes to portion control and being able to walk after. A friend met me up at work for lunch and we decided to have indian so we flipped a coin and ended up at Cuisine of India (the other option being Bombay Bhel).
Like alot of indian places, lunch at Cuisine of India is buffet style (10.99 + tax). First impressions of the buffet compared to other places was that the selection was pretty limited. Off to one side was the tiny salad bar and dessert selection which only had fruit and rice pudding. The main part of the buffet had a nice selection of vegetarian dishes but only 3 dishes that had meat. There were 2 chicken, 1 beef, and one of them was tandoori chicken so yea...very limited (not even any lamb??). The tandoori chicken I found too salty and the other meat dishes also pretty mediocre. I actually found the vegetarian dishes a to be bit better. There were all the usual suspects for the vegetarian options, spinach and paneer, chickpeas (chana), lentils (daal), deep fried eggplant and cauliflower, and uhh another eggplant dish (haha yea...my indian food knowledge is kind of lacking). They all tasted ok but I think I can say that I've much had better elsewhere.
Overall just ok, and I'd like to see how Bombay Bhel (just a bit south) compares. Now back to that lesson....what was it again? Needless to say I almost fell asleep at my desk later after a slow walk back to work.
