Does anyone know what happened to Green Leaf?! We went there tonight and the door was locked, lights were out, and their phone number is disconnected. I am so upset! Could they possibly be closed for good?

OMG! Went here after seeing the CD post, and it was AMAZING! My roomie and I both had the buffet, but were randomly brought some other treats from the kitchen (not sure what it is though…large pancake like thing with a small pile of yellow potatoes and other veggies). The curry chicken was super good and way more complex in flavor than I have had at other Indian restaurants in Durham. I also thoroughly enjoyed the chicken biryani and a veggie dish that I can’t remember the name of. I also LOVED the fact that they had masala chai included on the buffet. I can’t wait to try the Indo-chinese food!

Here goes the buffet list of food per day thingamajig:

Tuesday – North Indian – Pav, bhaji, boiled rice, dal of the day, Chicken tikka hasala (may have meant masala?), veg. dish, spinach dish, parveer dish, Pulao or Biriyani, tandoori chicken, naan, and dessert.

Thursday – Vegetarian – Idly or Vada, Bhaji, Pongal or Upma, steamed rice, special rice, poriyal, poori or Bhaji, veg. curry, paneer dish, spinach dish, dessert

Friday – South Indian (he called it “Spicy” night) – 2 appetizers, spl. idly, sambar, gobi chettinad, chettinad biriyani, chicken chettinad, chicken makhani, Chicken tikka masala, naan, steamed rice, goat curry, 2 desserts

Saturday – Green Leaf Special NIght – 2 appetizer (1 veg, 1 non-veg), boiled rice, hydrabadi dum briyani, Chicken tikka masala, goad curry (they may have meant goat, I’m not sure), fish curry, channa masala, bhatura, spinach dish, paneer dish, naan, veg. khorma, 2 desserts

The other nights are all presumably the Indo-chinese nights (on their website but I’ll post it anyway) – Chilly chicken, Gobi nanchurian, veg. soup, non veg. soup (was a kind of hot and sour soup thing when I was there), fried rice, veg. in sechnan sauce, steamed rice, chicken tikka masala, navrathan khorma, naan, dessert, noodles

I apologize for an misspellings, its probably a good combination of mine and theirs.

Anyway, I’m looking forward to trying the tuesday or friday buffet. I wish I remembered anything specific from their real menu, but it escapes me at the moment.

I was there tonight for their vegetarian buffet (it’ll be vegetarian every Thursday). Amazing food, great service! Tried several items I’d never tried before. A zillion times better than Udipi. I’m not as familiar with South Indian cuisine as I am with North Indian so I’m not completely sure of what I ate, but it was all delicious…

They do have a website. It is very rudimentary, made by some members of the church they attend. A lot of items they have on their menu is missing on the website but it will still give you an idea of the wide variety of dishes they serve.

That would be awesome if you typed it out. I am really glad to see this place is tuning out to be good.

I had the Indo-Chinese version of their buffet this evening and it was really good. My ladyfriend ordered off the menu, and the briyani she had was spicy and delicious. The word on the street is that the buffet on Fridays will be the spicy buffet. The waiter (owner?) gave me a list of which buffets are which days, and apparently they are “themed” which sounds strange but the dishes on each day look pretty good. I could type it out if anyone would like.

On the downside, there was a very large High School Musical 3 balloon for no good reason in the dining room. That movie is like a cancer.
