India House Restaurant   

This comfortable Indian restaurant fits into the neighborhood's upscale scene with white tablecloths and waiters in formal attire. The traditional menu lists a whopping 145 items, but most lunchtime diners don't even peek--they're here for the buffet. It's a fresh, satisfying spread with 14 changing items, from tantalizing vegetarian plates like spicy okra masala and aloo gobi (cauliflower and potatoes) to full-flavored chicken and fish curry, plus flaky naan and sizzling tandoori chicken delivered right to the table. Sophisticated decor--buttery yellow walls, maroon accents and traditional Indian carvings and antiques--attract local business diners, while low lighting and soft music makes it popular for dates.
