Mary A.’s 3-star review:
I work nearby and have a short break. I hit this place pretty darned often...here's the synopsis of thoughts re food and service over time.
+ fast. No waiting. Walk in, sanitize hands, grab food, eat.
+ meatatarians rejoice: there's decent meat options. ground beef and peas, lamb curry, tandoori chicken, butter chicken. Great if you're on a high-protein kick.
+ vegetarian: some good paneer choices, dahl, curries, veggies
+ chai is pretty darned tasty
+ gulab jamuns. OMG.
+ discounts: for hospital employees with an Endless Savings Card; Foodie card (2-for-1); Entertainment book ($11 off)
- service is spotty (sometimes they're very understaffed for the number of people in there)
- meat and paneer often high-graded out, so it can sometimes be just sauce with naan and rice (i.e. staff don't check buffet too often)
- staff friendly, but not necessarily quick to respond to refill requests
- muted flavours
- meats tend to be overcooked from sitting in the chafing dish too long
It's good for quantity and speed, and if you're proactive about asking for something that's empty as soon as you get there you'll likely get a chance to have some before you leave. If you are a jello and gulabjamun monster, this place will rock your socks.
