Cumin and Curry Indian Kitchen
Named after a fragrant spice common in Indian cuisine and arguably the most famous Indian dish, Cumin and Curry offers a variety of well-seasoned regional dishes. Stuff your face with, not some, but all of the tandoori chicken. Go on. You deserve it.

Texas De Brazil
I can’t explain to you how amazing Brazilian-style buffets truly are. Each seat at the table receives a card. As long as that card is flipped green, servers will bombard you with skewers of roasted meats and barbecues. The kitchen staff will continue to assault your table until you relent and flip your card over to red. This buffet is only for the carnivorous and the brave.

Massey’s Pizza
Some would argue that Massey’s has some of the best Columbus-style pizza in the city (that’s thin crust, edge-to-edge toppings, and square-cut kiddos, keep up). And while they no doubt have some pretty awesome pies, they for sure have one of the best lunch buffets in town. Sometimes there’s nothing better than downing a physically alarming amount of pizza, guzzling a half gallon of Pepsi Cola and trying to make it home before your blood sugar drops and you pass out on the side of the road. Hey, we all have our own ideas of a good time.

York Steak House
This one might be considered a stretch, but the salad station at York Steak House is a hill I’m willing to die on. York Steak House is the epitome of a timewarp restaurant. There were 200 restaurants at the peak of York’s popularity, but now the only one is on W. Broad Street. Head over, load up at the salad station, and enjoy the spoils.
