I am exploring different food cultures. Saw ad on facebook for the weekend buffet. Booked for two. Got there early, they set me down and asked me to wait they were opening the buffet. They offered drinks, and opened on time. The staff was courteous and service was excellent. Large Indian clientele so food must be good and authentic. Great value !!
