I've been to Gaylord a handful of times. The first time I had their buffet and thought it was relatively good. The second time I went for dinner and it was only so-so. This time we aimed for the buffet, but apparently it's only on Sunday (we went Saturday). Here's what we had:The pappadums were pretty straightforward. I find the pickles way too pickly for me, but the mint chutney was really good, and decently spicy. I'd buy it by the gallon if they sold it that way. AOn the first page of the men

On the first page of the menu were Maharashtrian specials. I'm big into specials, and we wanted a chicken dish, so we got the Chicken Rassa. From looking around, I think 'rassa' just means 'curry.' Also, it seems that Maharashtrian curries are more watery than some other types of Indian curries, and that was certainly the case here. I didn't think the flavors were off, but there was nothing exceptional about this dish, and it arrived lukewarm, which more or less kills a curry for me. C-
The Lamb Roganjosh was better. A thicker sauce with a little bit more flavor, and served at a temperature appropriate for cooked food. Again, it wasn't anything amazing or special, but I think anyone would have trouble actively disliking it. B-
The garlic naan was pretty good. Nice and glistening with grease, more on the 'doughy' side, plenty of garlic. I liked it. B+There's nothing fantastic about Gaylord, but I've never had anything there that wasn't at least average, and in general things are slightly-but-not-greatly above average. It's a "safe" place to go if you want to make sure the food won't be terrible and the service is alright, but I prefer Tandoori Nights, or the dice-game that is Chungking Mansions.
