I *just* got back from there 1/2 hour ago! (No kidding!!) It is very tasty, and that was my 3rd or 4th visit. As for the buffet, even with my failing memory I can still give you the details. The buffet included: A noodle and beef soup with a hint of mint; Basmati rice with grated carrots and raisins; plain white basmati rice; a lamb meatball with tomato sauce; spinach; sauteed eggplant with yoghurt sauce; chicken (legs and thighs) similar to tandoori in taste but was 'wetter'; sauteed pumpkin, prepared like sweet potatos; afghani bread, warm and freah-baked. I think that's it! Definitely worth a visit!  $^)

It's on Rte. 1 (west side, on the right if you're heading south), about 1 mile south of Crystal City, by E. Glebe Road.  $^)
