 At 85th and Greenwood is one of the Maharajas [I think] which has pretty good
 Indian food and a fair buffet. That neighborhood is also now home to Neelam and
 her restaurant mid-block.

 My fave though is on the ave in the U district: The Spice Rack. Lakhvinder puts on
 a mean buffet, and if you don't see any hummos, ask for some. It's to die for.

    Is it still good

 I've not seen an Indian restaurant with buffet that does not allow ordering off
 the menu at any time. They are usually preparing fresh refills for the buffet in
 back anyway, and would never turn down the chance at selling an ala carte dish or
 three.

 The place mentioned is Neelam's.  85xx block on Greenwood.  I highly
 recommend Neelam's and visit them regularly.  The Nan is some of the best
 I've had as is the Lamb Korma.  You can order a la carte during buffet
 hours.

 Masala is FANTASTIC.  Their Butter Chicken might be the best dish ever made
