Taste of India

A must-try lunch buffet in Brookfield

I know Indian food isn't for everyone. Years back, I thought it wasn't for me — then (thank God!) I had an awakening. While I've attempted a few simple Indian dishes in my own kitchen, I'll be the first to admit I'm no pro. Not even close. Indian cuisine is so diverse, and I can't remember (let alone confidently pronounce) most things I see on menus at Indian restaurants — which is why I love a good lunch buffet. And Taste of India in Brookfield offers a good lunch buffet.

I can't really tell you what to try at the Taste of India buffet except: everything. The lunchtime offerings change all the time, and I always find myself heaping mounds of food on my plate (as you can see) to try a little of everything. Finish off your meal with a warm cup of masala tea and a sampling of Indian desserts — also not for everyone (even people who already love savory Indian food) but try them anyway. Then head back to the office, shut the door, and take a nap.
