Lal Qila Indian Pakistani Cuisine

"Food was simply bland. I tried all the items in buffet and didn't find anything worth mentioning. Infact, I heard the word 'bland' from one section of the crowd who had just ate. Later It made sense to me on why they mentioned it. Mini Gulab jamuns were the only consolation."

"Being a vegetarian we couldn't find any good option, the only think we eat after spending $31 was rice, lentils, some potato and cauliflower. And its more of Pakistani Cuisine rather than Indian. Plus they don't have much vegetarian option so, I conclude that it is not vegetarian friendly."

"We ate buffet at this place twice. It has good variety of meat, rice, bbq and dessert. Everything was delicious."

"My husband and I came here for the buffet. We like going to Pakistani vs. India buffets as the India buffets are more vegetarian and usually only offer one or two meat dishes and it’s always just biryani or tandoori. This place is super reasonable considering all the meat dishes they offer! This place was above and beyond our expectations! They offered so many chicken and had fresh goat dishes! They had chicken biryani, Haleem, tandoori, korma, and kabobs! Goat Korma and Piye! I love that they mixed spinach and saag (greens) in the Pollack Paneer giving it a very nice rich taste. The chicken kabobs were cooked in the tandoor (clay oven) and were super moist, soft and delicious. They were the best I’ve tasted since leaving Lahore many years ago! Nothing was a bit oily or salty and everything tasted different with its very own flavors! They even had Puri Halwa too! The puris came out piping hot and the naan breads were hot, nice and fluffy! The yoghurt (raita) and cilantro (dunya) chutneys were as fresh as could be! They had chai tea self service so you could have a few cups with buffet and more after. The desserts did not disappoint either as the kheer was nice and creamy and the gulab jamuns were warm and you could tell they used real ghee to make them tasty and not too sweet. If you want a genuine Pakistani buffet, this is the place! Very clean and I like that they have a stack of extra large napkins already on the table for you. The napkins are good ones that stay together vs. falling apart after a couple wipes! They also serve you bottled water vs. a pitcher of water and glasses! They have the whole system down here. Very clean bathrooms and surroundings. There were so many choices, we didn’t get to try everything. Exceptional quality all the way around. After living 25 years in Chicago going to Devon St. (famous Pak-Indo Street) and traveling the country, I can honestly say this is THE best Pak/Indo food buffet! The chef is very friendly and you can tell he enjoys cooking the food with love. If I could give 10 stars I would! When in St Louis, we will be here every time! Can’t wait to go back and try the chefs Chapli Kabobs off the menu! Yum!!!"
