Breaking News: No more $8.99 Indian Buffet in Midtown…
After a tip from reader “Dani” I went and saw for myself the sad shell of a place I once loved…
Midtown Lunch spots are dropping like flies as 2006 draws to a close. First Aron’s, now my favorite cheap Indian buffet Rangole, on 46th btw. 5th & 6th. That’s right… no more $8.99 all you can eat Indian Buffet. I guess I’ll have to upgrade to the $10.99 Sukhadia buffet on 45th btw. 5th & 6th. No word on what happened to the chef- but I’m sure he’ll be ok. After all, if you ever read the menu, you’d know he once cooked for Indian Royalty.
If you ever see any Midtown closings, please email me at zach@midtownlunch.com. As much as it hurts- it’s always better to hear it from someone you love…

For Indian, Dimple at 11 W 30th St, btwn 5th Ave & Bway has a great lunch buffet for $8 and other specials for about the same. It’s not big on atmosphere, but it’s vegetarian and the food is super tasty with lots of spice and flavor. Also has chat and other yummy things.

[...] Ever since Rangole closed last month I have been searching for an under $10 Indian Buffet in Midtown. After weeks of searching (and asking for suggestions) I have come up with the conclusion that it just doesn’t exist. There is one on 9th Ave. and one on 2nd Ave., but these are both out of my eating range… And while I have been known to travel very far distances for the face stuffing that only a buffet can provide, my goal is to find a cheap Indian Buffet in Midtown proper. There is no question that there are some great Indian buffets in Midtown if you are willing to fork over $15+ bucks… but I’m not quite at that level of desperation. [...]
Yo, you should head down just a little bit to Murray Hill. May I recommend the Kosher Vegetarian Indian buffet corridor on Lex btw 27 and 28. $8.99 is a travesty!
Keep up the good work, love the blog
