I *just* got back from there 1/2 hour ago! (No kidding!!) It is very
tasty, and that was my 3rd or 4th visit. As for the buffet, even with
my failing memory I can still give you the details. The buffet
included: A noodle and beef soup with a hint of mint; Basmati rice with
grated carrots and raisins; plain white basmati rice; a lamb meatball
with tomato sauce; spinach; sauteed eggplant with yoghurt sauce;
chicken (legs and thighs) similar to tandoori in taste but was
'wetter'; sauteed pumpkin, prepared like sweet potatos; afghani bread,
warm and freah-baked. I think that's it! Definitely worth a visit!  $^)
