Passersby might be surprised to smell the aroma of curry drifting past the Corinthian columns and looming, arched windows of Namaste Madras Indian Cuisine, where diners feast on a fusion of Northern and Southern Indian cuisine. At Namaste Madras Indian Cuisine’s daytime buffet, diners load their plates with piping-hot helpings before the dinnertime rush, when guests order from a menu of vegetarian and nonvegetarian specialties. Among the restaurant’s culinary gems native to the city of Madras, dosa conquers appetites with crepes fashioned out of fermented lentils and rice flour. Taste buds also awaken to the symphony of spices in traditional curries, biryani rice platters, and boneless lamb cooked in the restaurant’s tandoor clay oven.
