Trying an INDIAN BUFFET in Jersey's India Square! Swadist Review

Jersey City's India Square is one of the largest and densest Indian communities outside of India. Or at least in North America! It is the highest concentration of Indian people per square mile in the US, rivaled by Edison, NJ. While Indian food in Edison, NJ is surely excellent, Edison is quite a ways from NYC! If you are based in NYC though, don't bother much with the Indian food in New York City. Just hop on a quick train ride to Jersey City for more authentic and much more expansive Indian cuisine!

Most Indian food in America is Northern Indian food, and consists of all the staples that you may have heard of: you know Chicken Tikka Masala, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, and all the staples that people in the West are familiar with. However, JC's India Square also has a large selection of Southern Indian food, so it really is a diverse and authentic neighborhood!

Today though, we won't venture too much into unfamiliar territory. We will review a tried and true: the Indian buffet. These buffets tend to be very North Indian heavy in style, due to the saucy curries going very well as buffet foods. However, we won't be eating your typical Indian buffet in New York City, with dry chicken and overly sweet curries. We will be eating an Indian buffet in Jersey's largest Indian community so my expectations are high!
