SK Little India - Authentic Indian Thali Buffet

You'll find this buffet tucked away on the upper floor of the Metquarters, serving up the kind of thali spread that'll have you going back for thirds. The setup is straightforward – grab a plate and load up from steel tureens filled with proper home-style curries, fragrant biryanis, and dal that actually tastes like someone's mum made it. The rotating selection means there's always something different bubbling away, from creamy paneer makhani to fiery lamb vindaloo, plus all the accompaniments you'd expect – fluffy basmati, crispy papadums, and naan that's still warm from the tandoor. At around £10 for lunch, it's ridiculously good value for the Metquarters, and the staff are genuinely lovely about explaining what's what if you're not sure about the heat levels.
