OGF: 4/5
With more and roomier seating, a wider selection of vegetarian dishes (along with all the meat dishes you’d expect) and far easier parking, we can heartily recommend Taj Palace over the slightly closer Mayuri to satisfy your Indian lunch buffet needs. The day we visited, there were all the standards (Tandoori and butter chicken, palak paneer etc) along with an additional set of 4-6 rotating dishes. The fruit, vegetable and desert selections are also worth a stop.
Taste: 4/5 – The dishes seemed slightly better prepared and of higher quality than Mayuri. Nothing amazing, but solid choices all around.
Price: 3/5 – Typical price for a buffet lunch in Bellevue of about $10.
Quantity: Just right – It’s an all you can eat buffet, so quantity is not an issue
Wait Time: 3 minutes – there was a short line for the buffet when we arrived, but nothing compared to Mayuri on a typical weekday.
Rotation: 1
% MSFT employees: 75% or more
Parking: Easy
Prime Card: No
Don’t Miss: Those balls floating in goo at the desert tray are actually honey and cardamom soaked donut holes. Delicious!
