The Tastiest Buffets in Baltimore

Basmati Indian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4 (373) • $$

"When my kids were younger, weed, frequent basmati restaurant often. One big reason was because I have three sons, and they will eat me out of house and home so having the benefit of going to an all you can eat buffet was a blessing. On this day, we just decided on a whim to head up. Unfortunately, we missed the buffet, but we ordered some of our classic favorites, we started with the two piece, veggie vegetable samosas and decided to try the Mulligawtny soup. Both were delicious. The soup was ground lentils, with a nice spice level. Not over the top but just enough to make you know it was in there. The samosas were served with three different sauces. all of which were delicious. One was sweet, one not so sweet and one that had a nice kick to it. I couldn't decide which one I liked the best so I put all three of them on. The Samosas were just like I remembered crispy on the outside with smashed vegetables, potatoes, peas, carrots, with a curry sort of flavored undertone that was just delicious! I actually think a serving size of three would be better but I might just be greedyThe tandoori chicken, sizzling and generously portioned came out with peppers and onions. It wasn't spicy or is it supposed to be, but very well seasoned, along with a large bowl of basmati rice. It was good to return to Basmati. Next time we won't late so far in between visits!"

Nepal House

★★★★☆ 4.2 (325) • $$

"We shared the Nepal House Feast, which is a platter for two that has a little bit of everything. It was fabulous. The tandoori chicken was flavorful and juicy, the curries were balanced and spiced, and the naan was toasty. The little trio of sauces was also excellent. All in all this was a great and very affordable mid-week dinner. I am now dying to go back for the lunch buffet."

Lumbini Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (316) • $$

"I have been going to this testsujt for dine-in/carry out for nearly 5 years and it's always consistently delicious. My favorite is the goat curry(yes, it has bones in it--you get to lick your fingers ). The chicken tikka masala is also very good. One one my favorite Indian restaurants in Baltimore. Definitely worth checking out!"

Mint Indian Cuisine & Lounge

"We had a great carry out meal. The veggie samosas were excellent, perfect crust and delicious. The salmon tikka and veggie tikka masala were mildly spicy as requested and were both excellent. Naan - perfect texture and yummy. This was the fifth time we have had carry out from them and there will be sixth, seventh eighth..."

Caribbean Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (153) • $$

"I can always appreciate the good authentic Jamaican cuisine that's served up here. I used to indulge in the lunchtime buffet prior to the pandemic since it was nearby to my place of employment. The brethren always welcome me with a smile and are eager to take my order. I ordered a trio of boiled dumplings, rice and peas and cabbage. My order came out quickly and I was on my way."

York Buffet

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (85) • $$

"Still a really nice buffet. If you go around lunchtime and dinner time, you always get hot fresh food. Not quite so fresh. In the slow time but that's expected at a buffet. I love their chicken curry"

Mirchi Wok

★★★★☆ 3.6 (37) • $$

"Saturday was the first time we visited the new location. The last time I went when they were still next to Chik-Fil-A was a disappointing experience. Went with some co-workers for a lunch buffet in the middle of the week and the buffet was small and food was very bland.Fast forward 3 years. They are now located in the space formerly occupied by Mongolian Grill. After some Saturday errands, the wife and I were going to try out Royal Taj near Green Turtle for lunch but the place was packed. Since we had already convinced ourselves we wanted Indian food, we decided to try Mirchi Wok. I remembered my less-than-stellar experience but decided to suck it up since she wanted Indian. We walked in and there were only 3 other tables occupied, which was odd after seeing Royal Taj filled to the brim. Things weren't looking good for this place.They've re-used the serving space left behind by Mongolian Grill so it appears there is much more food offerings than their old location. The foods are labeled so you know what you're getting for the most part. Seating space also increased. After the first few bites, my old memory of their bland food disappeared and was replaced by the yumminess of the naan, the goat, the curry potatoes, and the fragrant rice. The food quality was much improved. I don't know if tandoori chicken is supposed to be dry but every time I've had it at any Indian restaurant (whether buffet or off the menu), it's been dry. That was really the only thing I did not enjoy at lunch. They have soups, salads, and dessert, too.The servers were very attentive. Even though they leave the water pitcher at the table with you, they were constantly stopping by our table to refill our water glasses for us. Plates were cleared in a timely manner. About 15 minutes into our meal, the place started filling up with many people, most of whom were Indian (so that's a good sign). We overheard the couple behind us tell the server and the owner (a nice lady) that they were vegan. She went over their menu what vegan offerings they had. I stopped listening early on since I could barely understand her English but it was nice of her to take the time to go over the food choices with them. When they first arrived at the restaurant, she took them around to the food items to explain what they were. I wish we would've asked somebody what this and that sauce was but we tend to just try and experiment.Will have to try the vegetarian offerings at Mango Grove next."

Lal Qila

"Food is okay. Nothing special. Place is really big and open. They have a place for small party or event. Place isn't very clean. I was very disappointed about that. Plenty of free parking. Waiter and staffs are very nice and friendly."

China Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (56) • $

"Mixed review: I was disappointed because I seen this place empty but on the Saturday noon time it was quite crowded and some Maryland Smart Talk was in, and the number of the available dishes disappointed me. If you see the price you'll notice it was under $10 on a Saturday and a drink comes with it. Everything in the place is clean, now some hours later I'm not sick on the food."
