Banff Asian-Indian Buffet

About Banff Asian-Indian Buffet

You come here when you're tired of elk burgers and need curry that actually tastes like curry. This buffet does both Chinese and Indian food, which means you're not choosing between two mediocre options. The kitchen knows what it's doing, and the prices won't destroy your Banff budget like sit-down restaurants will.

Load your plate with tandoori chicken, butter chicken, or the paneer dishes if you're vegetarian. The fried rice and noodle station keeps things warm, and they stock decent samosas. Go early in the evening before the buffet gets picked over by the dinner rush. Lunch service is quieter if you hate crowds.

The trade-off: this is cafeteria-style eating in a strip mall basement, not an atmosphere you'll remember. Skip this if you're after fine dining or views. It works best as a refueling station when you want good food fast before heading back out to the lake trails. Families and budget travelers get the most value here. Open year-round, which matters when everywhere else books out in summer.
