An Indian buffet is the easiest way to try a lot of dishes in one visit. Himalayan Nepalese & Indian Cuisine in San Marcos, TX is launching with a buffet, and this guide explains what to expect, how to find out what is being served each day, and how to get the most from your plate.

Why a buffet works so well for Indian and Nepali food

Indian and Nepali meals are built for sharing: a few curries, rice, bread, something crunchy and something sweet. A buffet lets you taste more of that range without committing to a single entree. It is also a relaxed choice for groups, because everyone, from the spice lover to the picky eater, can build their own plate.

What's in the buffet today

Buffet dishes can change from day to day depending on the kitchen and the ingredients. Instead of guessing, we post the list online. Open our buffet page to see what is being served today, grouped into starters, mains, sides and desserts, with vegetarian dishes marked. The page is updated by the kitchen team, and it also shows the buffet hours and price when they are set.

How to build a good buffet plate

If you are new to Indian food, this order keeps flavors from competing:

  1. Start small with starters. Samosas, pakora or a few bites of something fried.
  2. Take a little of two or three curries, not all of them. Pair a creamy dish with a lighter one.
  3. Add rice or naan, and a spoon of chutney or salad for freshness.
  4. Come back for a second round rather than loading one huge plate. Hot food stays hot.
  5. Leave room for dessert. Gulab jamun and kheer are a classic ending.

Vegetarian and meat-eating guests at the same table

Vegetarian cooking is central to Nepali and Indian food, so a buffet is a good place for mixed groups. On the buffet page, vegetarian dishes carry a green dot. If you have allergies, please tell a team member before you serve yourself.
