From Citysearch

In Short
The decor is no-frills, but the budget chow's the draw anyway. The buffet is by far the best deal here; it's loaded with classics like samosas, pakoras (vegetable fritters), tandoori chicken, spicy lamb vindaloo and mutter paneer (homemade cheese and peas). Other menu options include rice specialties like lamb, chicken or shrimp biryani (fried rice with nuts, egg and green onions) and breads stuffed with onions, potatoes or lamb.
