Delhi Club, Arlington, VA

After church, we Metroed over to Clarendon in northern Virginia for brunch and some shopping, since Robert had never been to the shops there. We ate at the first place we came to, the Delhi Club, a British-style Indian restaurant with a $9.95 all you can eat buffet. The food was simple and basic, but decent, though, being British style, it lacked spicy kick. I can't remember everything on the buffet, but I recall lettuce and cucumber salad with yogurt dressing, herbed jasmine rice, tandoori chicken, a chicken and creamed spinach dish, a lamb in a brown cream sauce, chunks of paneer cheese in a masala sauce, dal (lentils), and a chickpea dish. There was something called coconut penny pudding for dessert, which was a creamy grated coconut and rice mix garnished with ground pistachio nuts, but I never did find a penny in my pudding.
