I read about Saravana Palace in Fairfax, and I was wondering what people thought of it. Does it offer more vegetarian choices than Minerva and is the quality comparable? There might be some other options, so I wanted to hear some suggestions. We went to Banjara in Ashburn yesterday for the outstanding lunch buffet, but she didn't think they had enough vegetarian items.

Punjab Dhaba used to be an all vegetarian restaurant, and I think their eggplant is worth the price of admission. Jaipur has a more extensive buffet so may have more veggie choices.

But the custard with mango and banana cooled things off. Bombay Curry Co does not have a very exhaustive vegitarian selection on their menu but the sunday buffet always has something interesting.
