At nearly every Indian restaurant I have seen, there is a common trend of offering a $7 all you can eat buffet during the lunch hour (usually 11:30am-2:30pm). Curious to try new foods I went into one looking to see if anything primal emerged. This is what I found:
Buffet line stocked full of meat, typically chicken, lamb, and goat with numerous raw or cooked vegetables for side dishes. Sure it may have some sugar or soy in the sauces, or it may not, but it is primarily high animal protein, high vegetables, and as long as you can resist the Naan bread is also grain free. Also no word on if the animals are free-ranged.
Bengal Tiger (Roosevelt)
Butter chicken, tandoori chicken, cucumber salad, regular salad, eggplant puree
Masala (Northgate)
Chicken curry on the bone, Tandoori chicken, salad, greek-like salad, raw broccoli, spinach puree
Taste: 10
Nutrition: 8
Filling: 10 (All you can eat!)
Price: $ (Typically $6.95)
Overall Value: 10
Ingredients not confirmed to be 100% free of soy, grains, artificial ingredients, and added sugar
I am still amazed at having this as an option for lunch, and there are so many Indian restaurants with this in Seattle that anywhere you go you aren’t far from your local Indian Lunch Buffet. If you have never tried them, the time is now!
