 Went to the India Garden on Atwood last Saturday for their lunch buffet.

 They have a reasonable selection of veg and non-veg entrees, a couple of
 appetizers and two or three desserts.

 The quality and taste of the food was quite good, and way better than most
 of the North Indian fare I have had at Indian restaurants in Pgh. The cost
 of the buffet is $6.95+tax.

 The menu was:
 -naan
 tandoori chicken
 chicken curry
 goat curry
 two veggie dishes
 a lentil dish
 rice
 "chana - bhatura", which I guess roughly translates into a garbanzo bean
 dish to be had with fried tortillas.
 a couple of salads
 two desserts - rice pudding and "malai" burfi.

 Pop, tea or coffee, or any other drinks are extra.

 This place seems to be quite popular with Indians, judging by their
 clientele.

 I'd go there again.

 Apparently, the goat curry and "chana-bhatura" are served every Saturday,
 and dosas are served on the buffet on Sundays.

    Really, it was good? I used to go there every single week for the past
 2 or 3 years, but as of about 6 months ago, I started noticing a marked
 decline in quality. Not just in food, but in things like opening late,
 etc. I also started noticing that fewer people were coming in at the lunch
 rush, so I assumed that I wasn't just imagining the change. Has anyone
 else noticed this? And if so, have things indeed improved? I've stopped
 going there, but I'd love to start again if things are looking up.
