Foods from India Curry and Kebab House

The Lunch Buffet ($16) is tasty and satisfying but I think my honeymoon phase is fading with this place. On our most recent visit they had no dosa, which made me sad. The dosa here were made to order and spectacular, allowing me to ignore the shortcomings:
* No samosa, bhaji, or papadum (all ubiquitous at other buffets).
* The veg dishes fluctuate wildly — there is no guarantee of having one of the excellent chickpea, lentil, or eggplant dishes. The meat is always tandoori chicken (excellent), butter chicken (okay), and one other. Yesterday it was goat curry; usually it is beef.
* No chutneys.
* No gulab jamun. There's just one dessert and it's always a pudding.
Aside from the 3 veg and 3 meat dishes, there is always sambar and rice on offer. There's an uninteresting salad bar with pasta salad, pickled onions, raita, and a few other things.
Naan is freshly made and served just after you sit down. It's good but lacks the wonderful soft texture of the one at Amaya Express in the nearby Rideau Centre food court.
The dining room was practically empty on our last visit (Friday lunchtime). The nondescript matte painted black door makes it look like a nightclub. Some pretty minor changes could improve business I'm sure.

The food is consistently quite good here—especially the vegetarian items. Today I tried the made-to-order Dosa and was absolutely thrilled. Beautifully thin and addictively crispy!

Thumbs up again from our second visit here. After we'd already filled our plates we noticed that they also offer made-to-order dosas with their lunch buffet. Something for next time!
There aren't a ton of choices but everything is very good. The chickpea dish was my absolute favourite this time... so excellent. Contrasting with my first visit, dessert was rice pudding rather than gulab jamun. Yum!

Enjoyed the buffet lunch here last Wednesday! The cost is $15 and it comes with a small portion of delicious buttered naan (the pictured basket was for four of us). The food quality was excellent with about half of the options being meatless.
There was even gulab jamun for dessert. The only unusual omission I noticed was a lack of crunchy appetizer foods like samosas, pakoras, and papadums.
Will definitely be back!

"Been to India Curry and Kebab House a few years ago and I'm wondering if your Lunch buffets still include the following:
- Dosa ? (loved these)
- Samosa, bhaji, or papadum ?
- Chutneys and pickles ?
- Gulab Jamun ?
Would like to come back and have a similar experience,
Thanks."
