This Midtown restaurant is especially popular at lunch, when the inexpensive buffet draws locals. The buffet features an array of curries, vegetables, tandoori chicken, and sauces ranging from mild to fire-in-your-mouth hot—for under USD10. The a la carte menu is only available in the evening, and features standard Indian curries and tandooris. Breads include papadums and chapati. The pleasant room is divided in two parts by a set of steps. Tasteful Indian art, including a spectacular elephant mural, adorns the walls.
