It is all about the money honey. Everyone out to make a quick buck. It is not worth it. How much can you eat for 8.99$ + taxes... Indian food is made - very expensive while it is not so, and tastes not so good. And the service courtesy is pathetic esp Brar Sweets - the supervisor - stone faced - discourteous - love him to hate him. :(

I have no suggestion to offer you but tell you to be frugal when it comes to spending your money on Indian food. don't fall into the trap.

The one I like for lunch buffet (although I feel the food is alternatively good on different days) is Sangam near Hwy 10 and Dundas in Mississauga.

If you go there, go around 1:00 p.m., they don't have all dishes ready till then. But when they do have everything laid out, they have HUGE variety of choices (both veg and non-veg.) and they also have about 6/7 desserts to choose from which are pretty good too. Many time, they even have free kulfi.

The service-level is different on different days, but since this a buffet, I don't have enough expectations to be disappointed. It will however put you 11 bucks in the hole, taxes and tip included.

Brar in Mississauga isn't that great, I found. However I heard the one in Brampton near Steeles and Kennedy is extremely good and there's uslaly long (1 hour) delays there on weekend evenings.

Pakwanchi is good for their Biryani. I do not care for the rest. I figured out that if you buy the 'shaan' biryani masala and follow instructions then the biryani taste the same.
As for Brar (Dundas/Mavis) the samosas and mithai is excellent when fresh. They do hesitate to give you to taste.
But i get puffed up when i eat their buffet. May be too much of baking soda.
PS: India gate is a good brand of basmati rice.
