We almost never eat at Indian restaurants because the food is way too calorie-rich. Once in a while, though we do it just for the sake of variety. So when we asked our Indian friends for recommendations of good restaurants the Boston suburbs, two names popped up: Masala Art in Needham and Singh's Cafe in Wellesley Hills. Last year, we went for dinner at Masala Art and while we ate way for calories at dinner than we typically do, it was a reasonably good restaurant with good food and service.
Today, we ended up at Singh's Cafe for their Sunday lunch buffet. Now, because we watch our calories very carefully, we really should never step inside a restaurant serving it, but for some reasons that I am yet to figure out, like many Chinese places, Indian restaurants also seem to serve buffet for lunch. The decoration is a bit cheesy and the fact that you eat in a basement is a bit disappointing because why would anyone eat without seeing natural light at noon in the suburbs? The food is diverse with a variety of dishes, though, as flexitarians (who primarily eats veggies rather than animals), we felt that there was a smaller selection of vegetarian dishes. It is good food but so rich in calories that we not only skipped our late afternoon snack, we also skipped dinner. I guess it reaffirms our resolve to eat Indian food once a year at the most.
