Our second trip to Jaipur was on a weekend and the dinner buffet was better compared to their Weekday Buffet. The food was at least fresh and warm – though the items remained the same. The weekend dinner buffet was $13/head.

If you are looking for a good Indian restaurant in Charlotte (North side and University Area), you can try Sangam or Passage to India but I would never recommend Jaipur. It is not worth the money. The staff and service is just ok. They don’t clear your buffet plates frequently. They are not very friendly.

We tried out Passage to India after hearing good reviews from our friends. Well, I must say it is good compared to all other Indian Buffets in Charlotte. We went on a weekend and the food was fresh and tasty. The non vegetarian items were spicy and tasty. They had lot of non-vegetarian items which is uncommon for an Indian Buffet

The restaurant is very small and gets crowded on weekends. The service is good and they also refill the buffet dishes. For weekday lunch buffets, they have fewer items but it is still worth. So if you want to have some good Indian buffet, try out this place. For dinner, they have don’t have buffet but I heard that the lunch buffet is much better than the dinner entrees.

Some of the items included in the weekend buffet are:-

1. Starters – All kind of Chaat items, Samosa, Vada
   
2. Non Veg Dishes – Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Kabab, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chilly chicken, Goat curry
3. Main Course – Chicken Biriyani, Vegetable Biriyani, Peas Pulao
4. Breads and Rotis – Idli, Dosa, Naan, Pav Bhaaji
   
5. Vegetarian dishes – Palak Panner, Channa Masala, Dal, Palak Kofta, Shai Panner, Aloo Gobi Palak
   
6. Desserts – Gulab Jamun, Payasam
