I set that aside and tried to avoid the moisture on the napkin my silverware was wrapped in. When I went to get food, most of it was covered which I guess is good, but to get to the food, it was awkward balancing the covers or having to place them on another covered tray to be able to serve myself. When I compare the food and environment here to other places that offer Indian cuisine buffets, for the $20 with tax I'd rather go to Kabab and Curry not too far from here on Hillsborough St. There is more food available, it is fresher, the environment overall seems more hygienic and well-organized, and the food has better flavor and seems less greasy at Kabab and Curry. The only difference is having to pay for parking or parking a bit further away for a free spot--but for what you pay at Curry Club and they only offer buffet over the weekend, Kabab and Curry is better and offers more value and is where I will probably go from now on. The only way Curry Club's buffet would make sense is if they brought the price down. I'd put their food quality about on par with China Queen's weekday Chinese buffet, but China Queen has the better sense to charge less for the quality and experience they offer their customers. If you're already in the plaza and it's convenient to drop in over the weekend, give Curry Club a try, but if you can make it a little further north, Kabab and Curry is the better place. It is worth noting that Curry Club has interesting theme days and specials that may offer more value and culinary enjoyment than what I was able to experience while I was there including weekend breakfast combos, and weeknight dosa, biryani, and rice deals. They also have momos and spring rolls that look delicious (though I can't vouch yet). They stock authentic items like frozen Shahi Kulfi (not included in the buffet), and beverages like Delhi Darling, Thumsup, and Limca. If I go back, it'll be to sample dosas at Dosa Night or see what I think about the momos and spring rolls. I'll update when and if I find out and get to sample more.

It was packed for Friday evening with consistent footfalls as well as takeouts. The service was slow to begin with, as well had to call the server to our table.

The biryani was tasty and the Rogan Josh had tender meat as well. The kids enjoyed the pista kulfi and the mango rasmalai which had just the right amount of sweet. Overall, good place to try.

For entrees we got the punjabi palak paneer and the malai kofta and paneer tikka and various naans and rotis. Everything was off the chain delicious.

If you're looking for Indian food in Raleigh that delivers on both flavor and overall experience,…read moreSoul Flavorscapes of India is an easy recommendation. This is a 5-star restaurant, but not in a formal, special-occasion sense. It's a more approachable kind of 5: thoughtful, well-executed, and genuinely enjoyable. The kind of place you can go for a relaxed dinner or to host friends from out of town, and still feel confident in the quality of the experience. I went with my husband and a family friend who was visiting, and it was a great setting for catching up. The ambiance strikes a nice balance between polished and comfortable. I especially liked the rich blue tones inside and the overhead lanterns, which give the space a warm, inviting feel. There's also a outdoor patio, though at 96 degrees, we opted to sit inside. I'll admit I didn't do a great job capturing photos, but everything we ordered was excellent. We started with samosas, veg pakora, and beet cutlets (which my husband hadn't had since moving to the U.S. for grad school over a decade ago). We also ordered a mango lassi, the bread basket, malai kofta, balti chicken, and lamb biryani. A few highlights: Portions are generous The spice levels are accurate "medium" and "medium hot" both had a noticeable level of heat, which isn't always the case locally The lamb biryani stood out (my husband said it's the best biriyani he's had in North Carolina) Service was also great. The owner stopped by our table multiple times and was warm and engaging. She even shared how to make a strawberry lassi with our friend, which was a thoughtful touch. One practical note: the restaurant is downtown, and there's a surface parking lot directly next to it that uses ParkMobile, which makes parking straightforward. We're already planning to return.

The common denominator among the cakes we tried was that they were all tasty, uniquely flavored, perfectly sweet, and pretty. Ranked from my most to least favorite: - Pistachio milk cake: Reminiscent of a tres leches, which is one of my favorite desserts ever. The pistachio flavor was super strong, and the cake was so soft with lots of milk present. - Tea-ramisu: My second favorite only because the first layer wasn't fully soaked (so minor though). I loved the strong but not overwhelming spice essence. - Gulab jamun cake: Take this with a grain of salt because the rest of my family loved this while I didn't. I liked the gulab jamun pieces and the floral taste, but the cake layer itself was a bit too crumbly and dry. Service was fast, ambiance is super cute (on the smaller side though), and there's some parking up front. It was definitely worth the drive from Durham for me, 10/10 would recommend!

I think it had a layer of graham crust that added flavor and texture. 10/10 Gulab Jamun Cake: I liked that the bottom "cake" layer was made of gulab jamun.

Not much textural variety in this. 7/10 Biscoff Cheesecake : Has Biscoff ever failed us? Small for the price tho. 10/10, $11 Also, the bathroom sink had cool faucet handles.

I ordered right when they opened and was told 20 minutes. great. I arrive and they tell me something wasn't working properly and to come back in 30 minutes. Strike 1. Luckily, I was staying in the area for other errands. When I returned, my order was ready, but it wasn't until I reached home to realize the rectangular styrofoam container was only about 75% full. Strike 2. I worked on the math on the dish which was $15. I received about 15 pieces of baby corn. There were zero people in the restaurant when I first came and when I returned it was the same. Strike 3 because at 1230 on a Sunday should have some patrons or something is going wrong. Looking at some other reviews it looks like my sentiments are a common theme. I don't understand restaurants these days. People who have bad experiences are more likely to submit bad reviews. I guess they get what they deserve. No apology or anything either. I will not be returning.

It was so tasty! My wife and I split the Goat Karahi, which came with "two naan bread" (those naan must be huge, because it seemed more like five naan bread to us!) in a separate basket.
