Great Cuisine of India (Lakewood)(Carry Out Only) — Restaurant in Lakewood

Oh my God!!! (_

Good food but less than friendly staff.

I went during lunch for their buffet ($16.50) and tried about 3/4 of the food offered. Compared with other Indian buffets there wasn't as many options, but there Butter Chicken was very good! The only downside in my opinion was the atmosphere, drab and unexciting, and the melancholy staff.

At one point during the meal a friend of mine decided he didn't care for the lamb curry, since he only had a couple small pieces of it left he put his plate aside and went for another plate of different food. Pretty quick afterwards a staff member came up and started to explain to me how important it is that we don't waste food, since the lamb and other food items are expensive. I said I agreed with her and that we would do our best. But she was insistent, finally leaving the table when I assured her I would explain this information to my friend. I thought that was the end of it, but unfortunately she came back to the table twice to reemphasize her point. Again, I agreed with it (wasting food is something I'm very conscious of), but it is a buffet, a buffet that I paid $17 to eat at.

Pro-Tip, belittling a customer because they wasted 1/2 a cup of food will not bring them...

Went to the lunch buffet today after reading reviews and seeing the 4 star rating and had the worst experience I have ever had at a buffet. I rarely get to enjoy weekday lunches with the family so I thought we were going to be in for a treat... The biggest issue, no FOOD!! They offer 6 entrees, 3 meat and 3 vegetarian but all they had was a not Tandoori Chicken. The Chicken Korma and Lamb dishes were empty and took 15 minutes to fill. 2 of the veggie dishes had a little left and 1 was empty as well. Once they did bring more food it was maybe enough for 2 servings and then gone again. My Chicken Korma I finally got was cold in the middle and when I told the hostess she scooped it off of my plate and microwaved it... Then brought it back to me, no apologies. Just an all around bad experience. On a plus note the rice pudding was tasty but you have to eat it off of a plate so that is difficult in and of itself. No bowls available. Regardless of the construction going on outside, they should still have food available at all times. I overheard the waitress explaining to another customer that the construction effected there business so they didn't prepare the food as they...
