Sabrina’s take:  My family and I normally go for the Indian lunch buffet, because of the wide variety. It’s a super big restaurant which has tons of options. They’re always supporting community events including doing something for Diwali in 2023. Their tandoori chicken always hits the spot, but the weekend buffet is the go to.
