So with the mask mandates lifted and restrictions loosening up, I'm hopefully some of my favorite buffets will be opening back up soon. I would kill for a Thai Pepper or Swagat buffet right about now. So what do y'all have for currently open buffets? I know Gatti's buffet has been running for a little while now. Oriental Pearl on Sherwood and Coursey is open. What else y'all got?

Inb4 - fatty.

Swagat buffet


I went a few weeks ago but no buffet at the time. Hoping the buffet opens back up soon. Place is legit.

Went to Oriental Pearl last week. It was legit. $24 for two otd. Hard to beat.

Do they have sushi for lunch? I saw it on yelp pics but didn't see any.

Yeah, I called Thai Pepper the other day and they told me June too. No idea if Thai Kitchen's buffet is open again or not (always thought Pepper's buffet was much better).

Johnny's Pizza on Highland said that they will offer the buffet again but don't know the start date yet. Johnny's in Central said no plan to have the buffet again.

Thai Pepper was menu only on Friday. Central Buffet has been dine-in/take-out buffet for several months now.

I know it's not a buffet, but is Omi's indoor dining open yet or are they still strictly takeout?

I used to live walking distance from Thai Pepper and I hit up their buffet to grab to-go like every Saturday.

I can't wait to hit up Swagat. You know, I think I just might drive to Hammond today to get some Indian buffet cuisine.
