So yesterday, I went in a little late (after 14:00 hours).

| From Indian Buffet in Oulu |
The restaurant was not crowded, but it was obvious that they had had several guests in the early afternoon.
The buffet was good but not outstanding. There was a salad table, but I do not normally take salads. Rice and pakoras were on offer. The pakoras were cold. I like mine piping hot. There were three wet dishes - channa dal, chicken curry and lamb curry.
The channa dal was made for a Finnish palette, not for an Indian one. The chicken, which was cooked in curd, making it like a kurma, was a bit too sweet for me. The lamb was just about right.
The papadam's were freshly fried and great.
Being late, the nan's were cold and rather hard and crispy! I found a few soft ones.
I would have liked a dry vegetable, as we have so many wonderful dry dishes as accompaniments at all Indian tables. As I am allergic to cold or unwashed cooked rice, because of the starch, I did not try that. I stuck to cold hard nans!
Various sauces adorned the serving table, but I was not attracted to any of them.
The meal was followed by a small bowl of fruit salad served at the table. I had a Chai, after that.
The price at € 9.80, including the soft drink, is higher than what the Chinese restaurants charge (between € 7 and 8).
The Experience: Moderately good and a good starting efort. Probably a once a month visit will be what will be my schedule!
