livingdebToday's highlight was the lunch buffet at Bombay Bistro, a new restaurant written up in this week's The Austin Chronicle as having "ascended to the top of Austin's competitive Indo-Pakistani restaurant scene."
I liked it, but it's not hard for me to like Indian buffet food. They had my favorites: rice, saag paneer (creamy spinach), chicken tikka masala (chicken in creamy tomato sauce) and naan (bread). I mix the first three together and eat with the fourth. The food is a hint spicier than I prefer, but the aromas are amazing and the chicken was very tender.
Robin also liked it, and it's now his favorite. He thought everything was fresh and had very high quality.
The weekend lunch buffet costs $9.95. I wouldn't be surprised if that price went up after news gets out and they get busy.
Normally we're afraid to visit a restaurant after a Chronicle review, but using our favorite technique of arriving just as they open worked fine. They still weren't busy an hour later when we left. So don't be afraid.
