Personally, I adore certain dishes and I think they have the best tandoori bread that I've had. I am very fond of the mango chicken curry. I almost never order anything else, so I'm not sure how the rest is. The last time I went for a lunch buffet, I was pleasantly surprized by receiving fresh nan on my table. I only go to Indian buffets for one reason, which is to have tandoori chicken AND a variety of curries. I also like their saag, and they sometimes have it on the buffet.
