Recently, after enjoying the lunch buffet at Royal India, I was walking outside the restaurant and I heard a lady telling her companion “I’m not really an Indian food person”. I smiled to myself when her companion said “Oh but this buffet is awesome and has something for everyone”. Her companion is right! Royal India’s lunch buffet has something for everyone. Fresh vegetables, salads and a variety of curries are just a few of the items served on the lunch buffet. I always thought I wouldn’t enjoy Indian food, but boy was I wrong. My first trip to the buffet, I discovered an Indian dish called Samosa. Samosa is a fried or baked pastry with a savory filling such as spiced potatoes, onions, peas and lentils, ground lamb, ground beef or ground chicken. The size and shape varies, but they are distinctively triangular. They are a popular appetizer in many countries, and boy they are delicious. The other delicious food on the buffet that caught my attention is the Onion Bhaji. Bhaji is a spicy Indian snack consisting of a core food (in this case onions). They are similar to onion fritters and can be eaten as a topper on Indian food or alone. They reminded me of an upscale onion ring and I loved them. Another great dish is the Chicken Tikka Masala. This is a dish of roasted chicken chunks in a spicy masala sauce. This sauce is usually creamy, spiced and orange colored. The origins of the dish are rumored to be from an Indian restaurant, although the British enjoy this dish also. It is served hot and is considered a main dish. I have to admit, my food taste have always been kind of bland, but Royal India’s lunch buffet made me realize that there are so many varieties and flavors of food that I could really enjoy. They even had dessert on the buffet. A really sweet dish called Gulab Jamun, which to me tasted like a small sweet donut soaked in a sweet sauce. I’m so glad I tried this lunch buffet because now I am a fan of the delicious Indian food I discovered at Royal India.
