Only a passing visit but impressed by the courteous way that I was received induced me to try a Chicken Tikka to go. Had to wait twenty minutes and found it excellent. Will return for another longer visit to sample the extensive menu.

If you enjoy Indian cuisine and a bargain try the weekend buffet at Favorite Indian Restaurant where four adults can enjoy all you can eat for under $60. The variety of food offerings is very good, as well as the quality. The restaurant is neat and clean. You’ll also find a decent salad bar,and don’t be surprised is they offer mango soft serve for dessert. Go hungry and enjoy.

It's not for people who are OCD about orderliness but it's probably the best Indian bufffet I've ever been to. And I've been to a lot, in the Bay Area and beyond. I know you won't believe me because my name is not Indian, but I was Indian in a past life. Don't worry ;)
