Many of the Indian places around me are of the buffet variety and their pricing drives you away from ordering individual items. Ordering off their menus gets super-pricey as even just one order of naan is $5 and chicken masala is like $13. Since I order two naan and rice, it ends up costing me about $30 to eat off their menu, but it's only $10-12 if you eat at their buffet. I don't know why they price it that way.
I wouldn't go into a buffet in the first place. Unless in Vegas.

Exactly. We do a $10 Indian lunch buffet sometimes. It's not a whole lot of variety, but it fills us up nice.
Same with sushi restaurants vs. buffets and how much you can save vs. a la carte. I'm talking about real sushi buffets (~$25-$30pp), not chinese buffets that have sushi. If you order sushi at a restaurant, it's like $80 for 2 people and I'm not even full.
At least where I live, the Indian restaurants tend to be small mom and pop places with one or two chefs that are swamped. It makes it far easier for them to focus on just the buffet rather than have to keep a buffet stocked AND individual orders timely.Many of the Indian places around me are of the buffet variety and their pricing drives you away from ordering individual items.

No way. Yes buffets are generally horrible, but Indian restaurants doing lunch buffets are AMAZING.
All super hot & prepared just for corporate lunch time & you can try all different kind of food. And it's the exact same food you'd eat if ordered as a dinner entrée anyway.
I'm talking about proper Indian restaurants that cost $15-25 at dinner.
Pics of Indian food, pics of guinea pig. I hope you appreciate the irony.
No buffet takeout? You get a container and stuff it anyway you want for x dollars.

Guinea pigs are Peruvian takeout. I don't think they have them in India.
With so many great restaurants in Vegas I have no idea why anyone eats at those buffets.
