Best Lunch Buffet

A wise culinary sage once said, "Phooey on chop suey, hooray for chicken Bombay!" While most lunch buffets overflow with greasy food to be slopped indistinguishably onto harried lunchers' plates, the basins at Great India are filled with the same high-quality dishes as the menu. The aromatic food -- with choices for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike -- is subtly flavorful, rich and filling. Servers often bring out side dishes for buffet junkies to try, but diners should be forewarned that the shoveling of mass quantities is ill-advised at Great India. This food will only expand in your stomach, so quit while you're ahead. And save room for dessert -- the rice pudding is excellent and cleans the palate after the array of spices that makes the buffet so intoxicating.
