Mmm this thread makes me want Indian food too. Lucky for me, my mom is Indian and is a fantastic cook; she makes the best Indian food. I hated Indian food growing up b/c that's all I ever got to eat, things that everyone else got to eat like Hamburger Helper or tuna casserole or balogna sandwiches sounded awesome b/c I never had them. Then I got to college and tried that stuff....eww. Thank goodness for my mom and her awesome culinary skills.
Also KLPDaisy, the Jackson Diner in Jackson Heights sometimes has a lunch buffet. Their food is some of the best Indian food ever, besides mom's of course, (which makes sense, since the neighborhood is populated by mainly Indian people...including my grandpa!). Have you ever been there? If not, you should definitely hit it up sometime.
As for other buffets, no way. I just can't do them anymore after the Chinese buffet in Columbia got shut down due to their 49 or so health violations

a few summers ago. And places like Golden Corall or wherever else never appealed to me. And after the stories on here, ewwwwww.
