Swagat Tandoori Revisited

Since I wrote my last review on this place I have been back several times to sample the buffet and the Naan. The Naan is great, but I already said that, what I was sitting on the fence about was the buffet.
It is a small selection of items, with more veggie available than curry with meat, however that was not a negative for me. Even though I am not a vegetarian I usually go in for the veggie buffet selection, and the reason is because it is good and $2 cheaper than the non-veggie buffet. That is basically it.
I don't go to this place to enjoy the fine cuisine, or the attractive ambiance, I go to enjoy good, basic food at a reasonable price. The buffet includes regular items such as curry lentils, spinach and veggie tandoori, along with Jasmine rice. Also included in the buffet is complimentary naan, chai (tea brewed in milk with spices), papadums and chutneys (a sweet or savory compote) and a sweet bread in honey sauce for dessert. All for for $8.95! Good deal.
I think I need a new rating for places like Swagrat Tandoori, a value for money rating. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give it a 9. I took off one point for one reason, they need to shampoo that carpet.

Bon appetite,
