Good, solid buffet at a reasonable price

I like Jashan's lunch buffet and here's why: they make a mean mango lassi which is included in the $98 lunch buffet (+10% service charge) that is one of the best and most refreshing fruit smoothies I've ever had in an Indian restaurant. Their butter chicken sauce (but not so much the actual chicken as it appeared a little undercooked) rocks my world as I greedily ladled it over my basmati rice and garlic naan.

I like Jashan's lunch buffet and here's why: they make a mean mango lassi which is included in the $98 lunch buffet (+10% service charge) that is one of the best and most refreshing fruit smoothies I've ever had in an Indian restaurant. Their butter chicken sauce (but not so much the actual chicken as it appeared a little undercooked) rocks my world as I greedily ladled it over my basmati rice and garlic naan. It was nice that the sauce was actually spicy as I noticed most Indian restaurants in Hong Kong are hesitant to add the real spice and punch which is the trademark for Indian cuisine. The chicken saag was also well done with the pureed spinach having a delightfully umami flavour to it. This also went well with my perfectly cooked basmati rice. The other curry selections were passable, but a bit too runny and similar to all the other curries on their spread for my taste, but a shout-out to their samosas which are excellent when they've just left the fryer. Everything was fresh and the surroundings appeared clean. In comparison to Bombay Dreams which also includes a freshly made free roti and individual sauce garnishes on one's table, Jashan had a smaller selection but the food tasted better. Also memorable was the spicy potato, cucumber and tomato salad with a nice acidic twang to it. All in all, I will return in the future. It's a shame that I haven't been able to stuff myself to the extent that I liked since I was full after the second helping. A word of caution and the only disappointment was that I had been dehydratingly thirsty after my meal, if they could go easy on the msg or lay it off altogether, then it would be close to an A-. Also, it would be better if they could speed up on their service in terms of delivering the fresh naan on one's table, since it took about 15 minutes into the meal before my bread came. On this front, Bombay Dreams since their naan was fresher and fluffier, not to mention piping hot. Worth checking out if you're in the area and is craving some decent Indian cuisine.
