Pictures do not do justice as I took it to post diner/aftar when everything was over.

Went to spice diner for Aftar All you can eat buffet on Sunday. The reservation was smooth, and I found a table, luckily. I have not been to this place before so was going with low expectations. Seating is small with 10-12 tables and maybe 50-70approx seats. The ambiance is good. As soon as we entered, we are welcomed by the staff, who are very courteous. 5/5 for customer service. Looks like it is owned and run by a family. Fillings were warm and ample. Nothing looks microwaved or old. They have a few Chinese options as well, which I did not find in others.

Tried the following items:

Rooh Afzah & Lemonade: 5/5
