Im not a buffet kind of person but I have taken part in this buffet previously when the doors open as I can see patrons visiting such. This has been my favorite AUTHENTIC HALAL Indian restaurant. Unfortunate for me its across town and with traffic could be almost 2 hour travel round trip. I ordered the tandoori chicken (mild) with spinach and an order of the vegetable samosas. While waiting I spoke about the items on the buffet menu to someone I was speaking with and to my surprise I was given a bowl of curry chickpea (I enjoyed in the past). The service and attentiveness has always been great. Today was no different. During my wait for my order to be prepared I was offered a beverage and my selection was cold water. My order came out within reasonable time and hot. The vegetable samosas did not stand a chance once I got into the car. They were with thw right crisp, authentic spices and mix of tasty potatoes and peas dipped into the "green" sauce. I then indulged in the curry chickpeas and as one could imagine they didnt stand a chance beyond the car. Most delish. Once I got home, my tandoori chicken after travelling in the mad ttaffic across town; food was still hot. The portion size is always enough for 2 meals for me. I plated my meal on to anotger plate and enjoyed every bite of the authentic dish with juicy tender grilled chicken and fresh sliced cucumbers, onions and carrots. Over rice. Prices, like everywhere else, has taken a hike. I use to pay $16-$18 for the tandoori meal and its $22 now. The samosas use to be $5 and I think they are $7. I knew in the past the lamb meal took a drastic jump increase in price and that strayed me from purchasing but the portions of would can be justified for some of the cost. I dont remember a bad experiece here. I definitely will continue visiting this establishment for my Indian cuisine fix.

The ambience is nice and it's a very friendly environment but the problem I have is it's too expensive and not satisfying enough. When A restaurant limits a feature that they used to have every day and then informs me to either go on their website or that they will notify people on a mailing when there is a Buffet event, i'd rather just go to another restaurant that still offers this. Bombay nights had the balls to raise their price to $20.13. Yeah, I could go to Café spice over in a richer part of town named Cockeysville where everybody drives like arrogant kids, get the same, if not better quality than all three of the Indian restaurants closer to me for under $15. Food used to be great, but there have been some days where the chicken was not up to par and I would much rather feel less burned, knowing I got a Buffet with other options. They used the pandemic as a BS excuse to get rid of it and they haven't brought it back the way they should have. I don't want to guess what day the staff chooses to bring back the buffet they should've never gotten rid of. I don't care that much to dedicate to a mailing list or check a website. Advertise it at your damn restaurant, and make it more than just one Saturday or random day. You chose in a month where the demand is going to be stupid high, and I have to fight for food between all the clumpy families that come out from under the rock whenever it's available.

The server asked if we wanted to order from the menu or the lunch buffet. I had no idea what was being served at the lunch buffet, but I knew for sure I wanted to taste the curry goat.

The server suggested that my husband and I try the buffet so we could taste everything, and that we order from the menu next time I visit. I'm so happy she suggested that. The menu itself was big and it had so many things to chose from . Now lets talk about this lunch buffet, but before I do that, let me share that, I shared with the server that I didn't want to go look at the buffet options because I didn't want to look at the food and others get the wrong idea, so she took the liberty of walking me to the buffet and showing me each item, detailing what it was and the flavor it encompassed, I can't express how much I appreciate her doing that. The buffet menu had so many great options, including chicken masala, curry goat, and so much more. The curry goat was my favorite, the meat was so tender and the flavors were infused perfectly. The rice, the noodles and every single item that I tasted, was absolutely delicious! The service was awesome, our server was attentive, courteous and very pleasant. The restaurant was well-kept and tidy.

I noted with some amusement that they sent new staff to serve me, and I figure that's fine, I'm closing in on 5000 Yelp reviews, I'm a veteran at this. I ordered slightly unconventionally, getting a spread of dumplings and a side of dal with some bread. The momos were delightful in texture. They way the were served with sauce in between them rather than on the side was a little unconventional, but the end result worked well. My dal was richly flavored, with a fresh tadka clearly evident on top. The bread wasn't quite enough to mop up the whole thing, but I don't mind just eating straight lentils from time to time with a spoon, so ultimately this meal was a winner. I would be more than happy to return.

The restaurant was more than half empty, so I figured I'd be in and out like you expect at a downtown restaurant when you're dining alone. Well, that was wishful thinking. The service was slow as hell. It took forever for the shrimp to arrive, and then, when I was ready to leave, the check apparently needed to complete a spiritual journey before reaching my table. Empty tables everywhere, but somehow time stood still. I ordered the tandoori shrimp, which came with rice and tikka masala sauce, along with a mango lassi. Dinner sorted, right? Well, sort of. $25 for five pieces of shrimp felt like I had personally sponsored the shrimp's retirement fund. And the tikka masala sauce? So bland, I'm pretty sure the spices were still waiting for their flight to arrive. Naturally, I needed more protein, so I ordered the tandoori chicken. It was, once again, pretty mid. I asked for medium spice and received a level of heat that made me question my life choices. Medium should not feel like a personal attack on your taste buds. The chicken also had burnt edges, adding a little charcoal garnish to the experience. And here's the real kicker: despite serving chicken spicy enough to make me see my ancestors, my water glass was never refilled. Not once. Apparently, hydration was an optional upgrade. I skipped the rice and tikka masala gravy with the chicken because, honestly, I had already given that relationship a chance. By the end, I had spent around $50 before tip for a very mediocre dinner. That's not a meal. That's a small financial setback with a mango lassi. The location is convenient, though. I was staying at the Waterfront Hotel, and it was just a short walk away, which was probably the highlight of the evening. And to the restaurant: folks, please do better. Winning awards and putting up posters is great, but a wall full of trophies doesn't automatically make the food top of the line. The food has to do some of the heavy lifting too. This meal was pretty far from top of the line. And if you're looking for a quick, reasonably priced downtown dinner, be prepared to bring some patience, your own water bottle, and possibly a fire extinguisher. You might finish your meal before the check even begins its journey.
