Diva (Davis Square) lunch buffet?

 I work in Davis Square and have the Diva lunch buffet regularlyand find it
 reliably good. The selection is not huge, perhaps 6 or 7 dishes plus pakoras or
 samosas, and a soup. The tomato coconut soup is to die for.  Other good Davis
 Square spots are Fusion Express (odd name/good food) and Orleans at the other
 end of the square by the movie.

 Anyone ever try the lunch buffet at Diva (Indian restaurant)? I was wondering
 >>how it was. Was by there last night and noticed they had one (we ate at
 >>Redbones, followed by dessert at Denise's).

 Actually, I find Diva pretty uninteresting. For a better buffet Indian
 lunch, try the India Palace in Union Square, Somerville. They have a
 better selection and are more of a family place. Diva can feel like a
 chain, sometimes. India Palace seems to vary their dishes somewhat, as
 well. They also offer raita, a mint yogurt sauce, a sweet sauce and
 the onion chutney-style condiment so often found in Indian restaurants
 (I should learn its name).

 Some people like Bombay Club in Harvard, but I have never been fond of
 that place.
