I tried the Minerva buffet today. It was $8.95. The selection
was pretty good with vada, iddli, and other breads. There are
vegetarian dishes and the meat is usually chicken but the spice
level would not have frightened too many people and it tasted
very well. I'll admit that my liking in spices is for higher
levels than some of my friends prefer. Again, most of the stuff
is not at all greasy and they do have a beer license. The
regular menu has items that other people have told me are very
hot, particularly something they call "Chicken 65"!
Might as well be complete: it's at the intersection of Route 355
and Shady Grove Rd if you want to find it and opens at 12 noon.
