Punjabi Tadka Arlington

I saw a sign outside Punjabi Tadka in Arlington saying that they now serve a 15-course lunch buffet 7 days a week and decided to try it for lunch today. The sign should have read 15 items lunch buffet.

The buffet was set up in a corner and the condiments and the salad items looked fresh and the food was hot and naan was almost served to order.

Lentil stew, Potatoes and cabbage, Spinach and cheese, Chicken curry and Tandoori chicken. There were a few more items that I skipped. The biggest surprise was the flavors! I had to ask if there was a new chef since everything tasted really great. What happened to the fairly bland food that they normally serve? Favorite dish was probably the potato and cabbage dish that had really great flavors. My refill was the daal, spinach and cabbage. The freshly made Naan (brushed with butter) was also good.
