It's a new place. It's been the Hunan Inn for years, and now they've added South Indian to the mix. It's kind of an odd combination. I've tried the lunch buffet a couple of times now. The restaurant is split down the middle. The left half is all Chinese, complete with Chinese staff. The right half is Indian, complete with Indian staff. There were even two hostesses. For lunch I don't think it matters which side you sit on. They have a double buffet -- one Chinese, and one Indian. You can take food from either buffet. Apparently they not only have separate chefs, they have separate kitchens. I didn't really try the Chinese side. It looked pretty decent as Chinese buffets go. I noticed they had things like sticky rice & chicken feet. The Indian buffet is quite good. Things are pretty spicy. The two times I was there they had a lamb dish that was incredible. It was just loaded with cumin. (At least I think it's cumin.) I looked at their dinner menu, and it looked interesting. I haven't tried it for dinner yet. And I've heard that you can still order off the Chinese menu at dinner as well.
