Get the spicy chicken or the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Goan_cuisine\">goan<\/a> fish.  All of the daily specials are really quite good and I have made a point of trying them.  The chicken and fish are cooked just right in these specials.  Right now it is the best <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dosa\">dosa<\/a> around. <\/p>\n<p>The buffet is fine but boring.  The rest of the menu is fine but boring. This is a good place that intelligent ordering can turn into a great place.
