      Yes, Mr -wanker- Wayne Kerr above has said what I was thinking, only better.
      I do notice most Indian restaurants don't have a proper Tandoor oven these days..?
      The buffet offering looked red without the telltale charring but looks are not reliable.

    I'm not huge on buffets but that looked very good value and high quality. Loved the food colouring in the sauces. Nice and 1980s unnatural. £16.95 is a steal
    The menu meal looked excellent. Particularly the Keema nan. Made me very hungry. 9 out of 10. Bit pricey though. 9 seems fair.

    Your marking was as I would predict that I would give. Clearly, although maybe a little more limited, it was a good buffet. The main meal had a very big keema nan, one of my staples when I get a curry along with keema rice, and the other dishes looked top class. It's no wonder they have won a number of awards, food value at one of its best.
    Once again because of your reviews, this goes on my list of places to eat out when I find myself in the area or just a Sunday treat, as in no cooking!!

I prefer that to a meal that's volcanically hot the minute you tuck in, LOL.

    Gary!!! Nice video again! When you ordered keema Naan I was delightfully surprised. That's one of my favourites. I sometimes enjoy a Partha (style of bread) as well. The cheese (paneer), it's very basic when it's cooked into spinach or another dish. Howev, I would love to recommend you try a Paneer Shashlik (usually includes a Naan bread). It's grilled with vegetables in a skewer and the flavour as well as the texture is exceptionally enjoyable.

      I stayed in east london, and the shops have array of spices, goodies, condiments you may not find in many Indian cities even. In fact few items we used to get in india vanished in thin air, and holy smoke, they are available in London. My two cents, London is a "world city" for very good reasons and one will always find something close to his/her heart wherever on the planet he/she is from.

    WOW Gary, that place looks the genuine deal. The starter looks delicious - I love the colours, and apparent freshness. The main looks good, although I like my food hot - but understandable for a buffet. The rice looks great. I genuinly felt hungry after seeing this plate of food. :) I would definately enjoythis place and the price for London is outstanding.
    Now the Lamb and Keema... oh my word.... gimme! Personally I like to see a little ghee floating on the top of the Madras - but this will be healthier for you! Good to hear it was tender anddid not dissapoint. The keema looks epic. Nice report Gary. Now where's my curry powder....

      I live near here. Tbf there is a lot of good curry places in the local area, and I mean literally within 5 minutes walk. This place is decent but I would say the Laguna a few doors up is a bit better. More pricey for the a la crate but I believe their Sunday buffet is only like £1 more or something. I find the haweli is often kind of empty on Sunday and the stuff isn’t stocked up amazingly whereas the Laguna is always packed and the samosas, breads, bhajis etc are constantly topped up.

    Agree with you Gary about the selection choices not being as big as other buffets BUT the quality is the key. It's better doing a few thing spot on than doing lots of things that are only so-so.

    First thing I thought as well: spoons plates. I was wondering, maybe they have traded with the local spoons plates for curry sauce for chef mike :)
    I don't know where you look for suggestions, however, for once, you should have Saravanaa Bhavan, they have a few locations in London, you can get the southern meal (which in unlimited curry and rice) for less than a 10er, apart from Leicester square branch.
    I know you are a carnivore but for 1 off it's worth a try.

    My 'secret agent' has been to Morden and confirms your review. He adds that it was very busy Saturday night and it might not be somewhere they like you to sit around since it's about turnover but he saw no pressure. Maybe other times when not so busy might be better for a social club like ours say. They've upped the price to £10.99 but still very good value. About 40% of dishes veggie.

    Hi Gary and Mr Cameraman, great vlog as always but a hard one this.
    My biggest problem was i was trying not to compare it with the vlog you did back in September of the buffet in Morden at £9-99p, as that so impressed me with the range and price.
    Anyway back to Ealing, what an award winning place with a 5* health rating, it was clean and tidy and i always think when fresh flowers are present the management have gone that extra mile.
    One thing on this clip that stuck out with me was how fluffy that Pila rice was, quite amazing, i spend hours trying to get my rice like that.
    (By the way have plain rice if you prefer, i think we have all bullied you into Pila)
    As for the range you were offered its true it was not huge like Morden was, but it was quality, i must admit i would of liked to see a meat curry in there like Rogan Josh rather than a cheaper mince one.
    Spooky that you bought a Lamb one after the buffet.
    I must agree also on the Keema Naan they were good and clearly freshly made in a Tandoori oven.
    I think your score was most fare given the range and temperature of the food, and i would be tempted to try this place myself.
    Chris.

    • @GaryEats
      @GaryEats  Год назад +1

      Hi Chris. Haha, I try to order food that I know my subscribers would want to see and I do like Pila rice anyway so have no problem with ordering it. The range and value at Morden is superb and will be incredibly difficult to beat in all honesty but I did feel as if the food was much fresher here. Did you know they've raised their price to £10.99? Cheeky lol.
      Thanks as always mate.

Keema naan used to be me my favourite, but now I prefer a Peshwari! I might of got myself a well filled plate of those Samosas, they looked lush! The buffet was value for money in London definitely, less is more variety wise possibly?

Your comment on the plate, at 10.57, with the number of 'Spoons closing, have they bought a job lot? Also, what was the sign at 11.13? I'll assume it meant left-overs.

    Like you said not the biggest range, but maybe by doing that they can keep cooking fresh dishes and also cuts down on waste. Not a huge choice of starters either, and you said not very warm, maybe that cabinet wasn’t heated. Coriander divides everyone, a bit like Marmite, but it’s probably my favourite herb. I thought you may have tried a different rice to go with your madras as you’d already sampled the pilau. Great review as always, top marks to you and Mr Cameraman - hope he got a look in 😊
