In the spectrum of lunch buffets, the spread offered daily at this vegetarian Indian restaurant ranks near the top. For $7.95—$9.95 on weekends—you can sample a dozen masterful dishes. Choices have included fiery fried okra, curried chickpeas with spinach, and lentil-flour doughnuts soaked in yogurt. Trays are replenished quickly, so nothing tastes tired. To go with the myriad chutneys, circulating waiters dole out one of the highlights—fresh-from-the-pan footlong dosas.
