Common Questions

About the Buffet

Yes, completely unlimited. One price covers as many plates as you want, including the naan from the tandoor oven and chai tea.

Yes. Fresh naan pulled from our tandoor oven is included, as is chai tea. Both are free refills.

Always. We guarantee at least four vegetarian dishes at every buffet service, including palak paneer, dal makhani, aloo gobi, and vegetable biryani.

No reservations needed for the buffet. Walk in anytime between 11 AM and 3 PM on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

The buffet is lunch only. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 11 AM to 3 PM. Dinner is full menu service from our kitchen. We'd love to have you for dinner too.

On Monday to Friday we offer our Lunch Thali Special for $16.99. It includes two curries, dessert, naan, rice, and a samosa. The buffet is weekends only, but the thali is a full meal any weekday.

Eight to ten dishes on the line at all times, plus rice, naan, chutneys, raita, and a small dessert. The selection rotates week to week but regulars like butter chicken, dal makhani, palak paneer, aloo gobi, and a lamb or chicken biryani are almost always on. If you have a favorite, call ahead and ask if it is on the line that day.

The buffet is set at a medium heat level by default so most palates are happy. Some dishes are naturally mild (butter chicken, korma) and some lean spicier (vindaloo, madras curries when they appear). If something is too mild or too spicy for you, let us know and we can point you toward what to try or add some extra chili on the side.

Of course, kids are welcome. Children under 5 eat free from the buffet. We always have high chairs, and the rice, naan, and milder dishes like butter chicken tend to be hits with smaller diners. Strollers fit through the front door without issue.

The buffet is dine-in only so we can keep the food fresh and the naan hot. For takeout we recommend ordering off the full menu. If you want a little of everything to go, we can put together a sampler; call (206) 523-5275 and a chef will build it for you.

Sundays between noon and 1:30 PM are our busiest. If you want a quieter meal, come right when we open at 11 AM or after 2 PM. The food is the same at every time slot; the buffet line stays stocked until close. We never run out of food and we never run out of naan.

Walk-ins always welcome.

Friday to Sunday, 11 AM to 3 PM. $18.99. We'll see you at the table.
