Sher-E-Punjab in Carmichael





Yummy Indian buffet. Bollywood videos on the wall. Upon arrival Sluggy quietly asked if all Bollywood movies have dancing, she was relieved when we said yes and replied " Oh good. I didn't know if I was being a cultural ass." The chairs had cool dangly beads on them. Very festive. One of the "signature cocktails" on the menu was Jack & Coke. Mr.Chem was "on call" but joined us anyway. What a champ!

Service was good. The dinner was tasty. The Cap'n was a bit sad of the lack of paneer dishes in the buffet. He did engage TheJenny in a naan eating contest, and of course won. Most of us wen back for seconds. We liked the story about Jarla being farted on by a big giant fat man at a restaurant. Poor Jarla was helpless to run away and too stunned/asphyxiated to comment. Hilarity.

We compiled a list of all the movie plots we saw covered in the Bollywood entertainment. Here's what we saw:
  • Grease
  • West Side Story
  • N'Sync video
  • Close Encounters of the Third Kind
  • Communion (yes, aliens)
  • Coke commercial
  • E.T.
  • Pearl Harbor
  • Pleasantville
  • Full Metal Jacket
  • Priscilla Queen of the Desert

The verdict. A bit spendy, especially for use bird eaters that can't maximize on a buffet, but otherwise delish!
