A friend and I ate lunch at Aditi in Springfield today.  We couldn’t say no to a good-looking Indian buffet for $11 per person.

We were surprised at how good everything was.  I had the rice with the coconut and spices, naan, papardams (sp?),  the spiced cabbage salad, goat, butter chicken, tamarind sauce, the green sauce, chickpeas, and for dessert, carrot halvah, tandoori chicken, and mango pudding.  I was impressed that they had goat at all, and it was flavorful and not strong tasting at all. My tandoori chicken was very good but cold…but my friend got some later on and it was warm. One of the naan was burnt, but it wasn’t a big deal. They had a spiced chicken salad (with mayo) and it felt out of place.  The cabbage salad was nicely spiced, crunch, and tasty.

My favorite thing was the carrot halvah but my friend was all about the mango pudding.
