Our Reviews

The buffet at Flavors in Jacksonville’s Southside area ranks as one of the best Indian buffets I have eaten in the country.  Considering I have eaten Indian food in Ohio, Massachussetts, California, New York, North Carolina, Missouri and Georgia (And I am Indian), this is not an idle observation.

Rather than writing a full culinary review (which I’m probably not adept at), I’m just going to write a few points about the buffet:

• Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian spread, in which you’ll find South Indian tiffin specialties such as Idli or Pongal, Indian-Chinese items such as Chilli Chicken or Gopi Manchurian and some of the more standard Indian restaurant fare such as Tandoori Chicken, Butter Chicken or Paneer based dishes.
• There are about 6 appetizers type/tiffin type dishes, 4-6 vegeratian entrees and 4-6 non-vegetarian entrees.  In addition, you’ll also find naan, salad vegetables, papadam, pickles, fruit and 2 dessert items. (Disclaimer: Don’t quote me on the number of dishes…I’m trying to recall this from memory since I certainly didn’t take any detailed notes while I was there.  I was busy enjoying the food).
• It should be clear that this is a wide buffet in terms of variety.  But the name of the restaurant is very appropriate.  The food here is simply quite tasty.
• Authenticity of dishes is stronger for the South Indian dishes, but the Indo-Chinese and some North Indian entrees are also very well made.
• The buffet is priced at around $14 on the weekend for lunch and around $11 on a weekday.  I do not know if they have a dinner buffet.  But based on the quality of the buffet, I will venture to say that an a la carte dinner spread will be good too.
