I have been a loyal customer of Lime and Lemon for years, always enjoying their à la carte dinner and recommending it to friends. However, my recent visit to their Sunday buffet was a huge letdown, and I feel compelled to share my experience. A party of seven, including me, came in eager to try their buffet based on a tempting menu flyer. Unfortunately, the food was far from what I had come to expect. Here’s a breakdown: - The Crab Masala was inedible - overly salty and unappetizing. - The Filter Coffee Mousse was overwhelmingly sweet, to the point it felt like poison. - Both the Chicken and Mutton curries were overcooked. - The Kara Pakoras were doughy and undercooked inside. - The Chicken Tandoori had uneven cooking, with some pieces still raw. - To top it off, the buffet wasn’t properly maintained, and many of the hot dishes were lukewarm at best. When I provided feedback about the quality of the dishes, the servers’ only response was, “I’ll let the chef know.” No further action was taken, and no one came to address my concerns personally. I had hoped the chef would come to listen and discuss the issues since I was speaking about facts I was experiencing firsthand. That said, there were a couple of bright spots: - The Live Appams were fresh and delicious, a real highlight of the buffet. - We celebrated a birthday, and the restaurant brought out two complimentary ice creams (Pista and Mango) with candles and a “Happy Birthday” message. These ice creams were fantastic and helped salvage some of the experience. Overall, this visit was very disappointing, especially after having such positive experiences with the à la carte menu in the past. The quality of food and service during the buffet was subpar, and it’s clear that there was little attention paid to maintaining the standards I’ve enjoyed before. I hope Lime and Lemon will take the necessary steps to improve their buffet offerings.

Food was delicious and the service was excellent. I will definitely go back. There were several families of Indian descent who had just come from the Duke University graduation with their graduates in tow. Says a lot about the quality of the food here that families would choose to eat here after such an important event.
