Hello, All!


Today, I tried the lunch-time buffet at the Madras Palace, 50
Bureau Dr, Gaithersburg, MD (outside the main gate of NIST). I
had been dubious since it is a vegetarian restaurant with no
alcohol license but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality
and the lack of excessive grease. There is quite a range of
starchy offerings like idlis and breads and most of the food is
not excessively spicy.

I am a bit surprised that the Madras Palace does not appear in
the Zagat guide and I have noticed numerous people of apparent
Indian ancestry eating there. Also, three monumental young
American ladies who were in line in front of me at the buffet!
