		<description>Kanaat&#039;s buffet was actually $9.95 today.

I never had Turkish food before. This was good, but not exciting (I&#039;d rather have indian food) for the most part.

However, if you like lamb shanks, then hit this place up. The lamb was great. Though underseasoned (rather undersalted), it was braised til it melted from the bone, like a good Lamb osso bucco. Mixed with some of the tahini for flavor, it was excellent.

There were no signs for the food so I didn&#039;t know what the dishes were, so that wasn&#039;t very helpful.And the online menu has nothing either. But they had:
- 2 rices (one seemed to have veggies mixed in)
- a tandoori style chicken
- a chopped spinach thing with &quot;sunny side&quot; eggs on top (scary by 1pm as the yolks were half solid, half runny).
- a cauliflower in cream (yogurt?) sauce.
- some stewed veggies (reminded me of Ghormeh Sabzi)
- Some stewed chicken thighs with sliced potato
- Beef kofta (in tomato sauce)
- Lamb Shanks
- Accoutrements of shredded cabbage, feta cheese, olives, sliced jalapeno, &quot;white sauce&quot; (like raita), hummus, and naan bread served at the table.

I always expect the explosion of flavor you get from indian restaurants (which is dumb since it&#039;s not an indian restaurant). The food was overall a little light on the salt (and spice), but the quality was great for a buffet (especially for a $9.95 buffet). The lamb shanks are a steal for that price. I&#039;ll go back once in a while (as long as the lamb shanks are there), but this wont be replacing any of my other go-to spots.</description>
