The restaurant has pleasant décor on entering with an authentic "guard" dressed in Indian dress uniform to greet you at the doors. You are shown to a table, which is laid out with its companions in such a way that you do not feel claustrophobic or self concious about the people eating around you.
First time eaters are taken through the procedure whilst drinks are ordered. With some buffets there is a danger of treating diners like cattle waiting to be fed - but this isn't the case. The friendly staff will sort out drinks for the table - there is a strict "No Alcohol" policy which only adds weight to the perception that this is a wholesome family dining experience.
The range of dishes can be limited, but the set up is ideal for anyone wanting to "branch out" into dishes they may not have otherwise tried.
One major stumbling block, which I have experience to varying degrees in my dozen of visits I have made appears to be the lack of control and monitoring of available foods. During busy times, and sometimes quiet times, the turnover of replacing used up dishes is very slow and customers are often left waiting whilst their preferred dishes are restocked.
There is a limited choice of deserts too, with only one cake on offer and a couple of cold puddings such as fruit salad or authentic indian rice pudding (I forget the correct name)
The price is reasonable, given the "all you can eat" policy, provided you can find adequately stocked dishes to eat. A big big plus is the fact that the restaurant is frequently full to bursting during the festival of Eede(sp) and Ramadan as local asian families descent to break fast together. This is to me a huge indicator of the value for money cuisine on offer as well as the family friendly atmosphere it portrays.
