Awesome or Scary: Kashmir Buffet is Now $7.99

Well that didn’t take long. The Kashmir all you can eat Indian/Pakistani buffet on 8th Ave. btw. 39+40th is now $7.95. That’s a $1 reduction since they reopened in March, and only $2 more than what you would pay for just one pound of food at their street level by the pound deli. $8 for an all you can eat Indian buffet is unheard of! (Even Rangole was $9.) Which begs the question… are we excited that the price has been lowered, or terrified of an all you can eat Indian buffet that only costs $8. Only one way to find out… full report coming tomorrow. (Btw- do you think that “30 Years Hospitality Special” is code for “Price To Get People to Eat Here Again”)

  1. looking forward to this. I walked in when it reopened a month or so ago. It was completely empty and a douchey WHITE guy behind the bar was like: “hey brother, what’re you drinking today?” and I was like “it’s noon on Tuesday and I’m at a nine dollar indian buffet in a cave… i’ll be drinking the free tap water.”*

    *i didn’t actually say that, i just turned around and left.

  2. you is a brave dude.

  3. I’m definitely interested in the review. I don’t see how this is financially viable without REALLY crappy ingredients. Iron stomach Zach to the rescue!

  4. Unidentified animal matter in masala sauce is and always will be deeply disturbing to me.

    So my vote is SCARY.

    thank you, zach! i spotted this last week and was meaning to ask you about this.

    this should redeem you in the eyes of those who castigated you about the walgreen’s sandwich.

  6. Desperate times calls for desperate measures.

    $8 buffet in the city though? I don’t know. Did they get rid a lot of their main dishes? Quality definitely has to be overlooked?

    I like Indian food but now I’m wishing there’s an $8 american-chinese buffet out there. HAHA.

    I would translate “hospitality” to their generous pricing but hopefully the buffet doesn’t make anyone think it’s better off free or not even if it’s free… ;P

  7. on the other hand– my favorite curry hill lunch buffets are all under $7…. and they are all delicious!

  8. I’d rather spend the $7.99 on a Pashmina..

  9. I ate there a bunch of times in 2005. It wasn’t that scary then.
