Curry & Kabab - I'm impressed

I stopped there yesterday for the first time, if you don't know, it is the newest Indian/Pakistani type menu in the area. The lunch buffet $8.95, $9.95 for dinner, was all very freshly prepared, hot and delicious. I'm not going to try to name the dishes, I can't even pronounce them, except for the naan and te lentil soup.
The naan is a step above what you usually get in an Indian restaurant. The bring it hot in a basket, it is inbedded with sesame seed and brushed with ghee. It is easy to eat the whole generous basket. I love lentil soup and have it frequently, this is one of the best versions I've ever had with a hint of cilantro and served hot on the buffet. I despise lukewarm soup.
The service was friendly and I think this place will compete very well with Bay Leaf where the buffet is $3 more, and Himalaya's.
It is located on the south side of Coursey a couple blocks east of Sherwood next the the old Vineyard bar.

what is your ownership stake?

I've heard a lot of good things about it. I need to check it out.

It's legit for sure. Same quality as Bay Leaf, but significantly cheaper.

I'll have to give it a go.

Same here. I passed it the other day and was wondering when someone would post about it. Doesn't look like much on the outside, but I'll roll the dice.

I will agree with the OP. I really enjoyed it, the owner(s) were really welcoming and informative (since we had no idea what anything was). The owner talked about how they make their naan almost to order since they do not want it sitting out on the buffet going stale, so while they give it to you in a basket its an unlimited supply of it. Great spot.

Excellent food.

Do they have that Indian rice pudding stuff? That's my favorite thing at Bay Leaf.

is it buffet only, or can you order off a menu?

I thought this was in NOLA and got excited for a moment.

- you can order off menu as well. I've been a few times and don't find it as good as the bay leaf, but mainly because its not been consistent and the tandoori chicken was dry every time I went.

I just haven't understood the allure of Indian food yet. All of that stuff tastes the same to me

The food is great, but they've had some service issues in the past. I think they only have 1 cook....he was sick for a couple of days a month or so ago so they just shut the place down. I've called a couple of times during their posted hours and they were closed....called again on a weekend shortly after they opened for the day to order take out and the lady taking my order said she would have to ask the chef if he would be willing to make something for me since they were working on the buffet. I just said nevermind.

Same here. Definitely not a pretty establishment, but the food has been great both times I have gone and I find that it compares favorably with Bay Leaf (which I love as well) but with fewer buffet options.
They have different deserts on different days and I had rice pudding on of my visits...yum
Definitely worth checking out and adding to your dine out rotation.

Been here several times and love it. I actually prefer the flavor of their food over Bayleaf's.
I did not know that they had expanded the buffet option to dinner time. Anyone been to the dinner buffet?
My only complaint is they don't have butter chicken on the buffet.

We've eaten there several times and always leave impressed and too full.
Owner, watresses are very nice people too which is an added plus.
If you like Bay Leaf and Indian food you'll love it.
