India Queen

4/24/10

Normally I wouldn't be caught dead at a buffet, but it was lunch, it was an Indian restaurant and I was hungry. If I can stay on the buffet theme for a second, I will say I was the only person in the restaurant with a normal B.M.I. Overweight people seem to be able to sniff out buffets better than a Bloodhound chasing a criminal. But I digress, so back to India Queen. It was the typical Indian lunch buffet set-up. Several dishes, plus some kind of dessert. The entrees consisted of a number of vegetarian Kormas, plus coconut chicken, butter chicken and tandoori chicken. I was a bit disappointed that all the meat entrees were chicken. A lamb Vindaloo or some Rogan Josh would have been nice. The only thing that stuck out at all for me was the butter chicken. It was nicely seasoned and the spiciness came through well. The other dishes didn't really standout as anything special. This place will do if you are hungry and nearby, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get there for a meal. The lunch buffet ran $8.95 on a Saturday.
