Good buffet restaurants   
I'm thinking of setting up a website, drawing upon local knowledge, 
describing good Sunday buffet Indian restaurants.

Most of the buffet restaurants (good and bad) don't advertise their Sunday 
offerings very well and its very difficult to know where the buffet 
restaurants are in a particular area - whether you're a local or not.

I want at least 10 to 12 for each county - more for Surrey, London, Glasgow 
and other large counties/cities.

Prices change regularly (always upwards) and it will be impossible to give a 
completely accurate account - there's very little that's available for less 
than £6.95 (under a year ago there were at least a few places offering 
decent wares for under £5).

There are some gems out there but I'm not prepared to share my knowledge of 
them unless others do the same - why increase their trade, limit table 
availability and increase prices further through a (studied) recommendation 
unless there's something in it for everyone.

Believe me though - there are some real gems waiting to be discovered out 
there.

Kinara at Pitt House Westerham Kent
http://www.curryhouse-reviews.co.uk/pitt.htm
Sunday buffet very nice last time I was there about 6 months ago.

One of the best Sunday Buffets I have had the pleasure of eating is at KAMA
http://www.kamaindia.com/  A long way to go but I had to mention it.  Prices
lower than typical UK curry house, food tastes as good as best UK curry
house, by far the largest selection of dishes at any Sunday buffet I've ever
tried.   My visit was approx two and a half  years ago.

I'd be interested in any recommendations for Surrey, Kent, Hampshire areas

Kama is a bit far to go although if I'm ever in the neighbourhood I will 
look it up (how sad is that?)

Hampshire doesn't have much to offer in the way of buffet restaurants - I 
have looked. In fact, over the years, the number of restaurants offering 
buffet has decreased (there used to be a few good ones in Portsmouth and 
Southampton. You might find one or two in Southampton depending on market 
conditions and fads but they aren't much cop). The main resource (positively 
reviewed by Pat Chapman) is Cafe Tusk in Fareham. My own experience of the 
place is that it is too expensive for what you get - £13 or £14 per person 
for an evening buffet meal is silly. Iirc Pat Chapman referred to a £5 or 
£5.95 price in (?) Spice Business. I don't know where he got this price 
from - even the lunch buffet is £7 per person. The lack of local competition 
makes this pricing possible - and the service is, imho, not too great 
either. Neither is the food. Don't take the promise of "60 dishes" too 
seriously unless you count cucumber on a plate as a dish.

Surrey (ignoring London) has a few Sunday buffet restaurants but not as many 
as I would have thought: there's a couple in West Byfleet (with Haweli being 
the best value for money - the price, last time I checked, was £5.95. The 
food is a bit bland but the service is friendly. It was £4.95 until recently 
but I didn't visit much more when the price raised to £5.95). Camberley has 
a decent one - in London Road (I can't find the name but as there's only one 
in London Road more or less opposite Sandhurst it shouldn't be too tricky to 
find. £6 again iirc). Not much in Guildford worth mentioning and not much in 
Woking: Jaipur offers a buffet but it's pretentious and I don't think even 
worth £8 - some people love the place but I can't stand it for some reason - 
cocky and sarcastic waiters and poor food may have something to do with it; 
Binaka is one that I haven't been to for a while - it was £8 per person last 
time I was there. It's okay but you feel a bit conscious of taking too much 
food - the staff were a little bit too attentive in a formal kind of way. 
There one in Cobham which is worth a visit - can't remember the name but 
I'll dig it out if anyone is interested. Oh yes, it's called Kismet. 
Relaxed, friendly and stonking food too. There's a good buffet restaurant in 
Staines called the Shahee Mahal. It's a 7 day a week buffet with price 
differentials depending on time of day/week. It's good. It used to be a 
fantastic Indian restaurant non buffet style - by far the best Indian food I 
have ever tasted and consistently so. Then the standards dropped, they lost 
customers and now it claims to be under new management. The buffet food is 
good - £8.95 though iirc and more on Friday and Saturday.

I would be grateful for any more tips regarding Surrey and Hampshire - 
although to be honest I don't expect much if anything from this group in 
terms of feedback (it used to be great - what happened?)

Both Cranleigh's Indian restaurants, the Curry Inn and the Cardamon,
have Sunday lunchtime buffets. The quality of the food and range of
dishes are unremarkable at both restaurants. IIRC, the price is £7-95 a
head, with poppadums, drinks and coffee all extra.

Thank you John. Yes, it's about par for the course.

The Cobham restaurant I mentioned is worth checking out although the extras 
are, well, extra.

There aren't any restaurants offering buffets around here.

>(it used to be great - what happened?)

Possibly the arrival of widespread broadband and lots more people 
going online but using forums - the majority don't seem to be aware of 
newsgroups.

This has been discussed on a couple of ng.s to which I subscribe.

Personally I prefer ng.s

        Some ISPs don't offer Usenet access ... or don't offer it with

I don't know - I thought one or two other similar groups in the uk.food 
hierarchy were doing a bit better until I took a look: the "chinese" group - 
I can't find a single post there at all (just spam). The real ale group is 
doing well though. But the profile of most real ale fans would, I suspect, 
tend to make them more likely to use Usenet.

Maybe Usenet is as an inaccessible resource. But OE and Windows Mail/Live 
Mail feature pretty good news readers.

I think the point is though that, given the popularity of Indian food in the 
UK, this group should be more popular than it is.

Actually, there isn't a huge amount of discussion even on web based 
services - most of the groups are focussed on special interests (making the 
perfect onion based sauce for example).

I think maybe it takes a certain type of person to enjoy newsgroups.  I 
understand uk.rec.sheds (I think that's its title) has a huge volume of 
traffic.

I used to subscribe to a local newsgroup but it seems that they tend to 
attract a lot of flaming and general nastiness.  I've heard that people 
generally expect newsgroups to be like that, too.

I've changed my news server (news.individual) and now ufdi is available 
to me again but for a number of years ufdi wasn't available from my ISP 
where other ngs were.

The sheddi are a strange bunch, though, with some very, err,
idiosyncratic, conventions. You should try UKRM for a high-volume,
purely on-topicm newsgroup ecperience.

Reading this
http://web.archive.org/web/20080115175649/www.usenet.org.uk/uk.rec.motorcycles.html

appropriate phrase to use in the context of UKRM.

Is it?
