1270 Westford St. (Drum Hill RD.), Lowell MA 01851

Nice place, new. Daily buffet, including weekends. Buffet generally has 4 non veg entrees and a similar veg variety. Nice dessert (kheer or gulab jamun).

Update Sep 2008
Goat curry - 7/10. Tasty, with rich gravy. However, the pieces were a bit dry, and the aroma of "goat" :) was missing from the overall entree.

Update 3/26/08
Butter chicken - 6/10
Chicken Aachari - 6/10
Chicken curry - 5.5/10
Chicken seekh kabab - 6.5/10

They also had a nice 'vaghare baigan' (eggplant in rich curry sauce). They seem to be always out of lamb seekh kabab, so call ahead.

3/2/08
Buffet - 6.5/10

Tandoori combo platter was some nice and some average. It has
Tandoori chicken - 6/10
chicken tikka - 6/10
boti kebab - 5/10

They also had a shoe-lace-fluorescent-green dry paneer dish - I forget the name - Paneer hariyali/kofta (paneer with spinach covering) maybe - which was useless and tasteless (despite asking for spicy) - 4/10.

Mysore Veggie
1689 Middlesex St, Lowell, MA
(978) 452-8700

South Indian vegetarian restaurant, along with the usual North Indian cuisine too. They have some fusion dishes too (I still havnt come across a properly "fused" fusion restaurant - they all seem to be lost in translation). I prefer the Udipi next door (almost).
The food was ok - idli/sambar, and some multi-vegetable uttapam. 5/10
They have a Sunday lunch buffet.

Bombay Mahal Restaurant
45 Middle St, Lowell, MA
(978) 441-2222

They have nice "samosa chat" (although the chana in it should have more taste). Make sure to pick it up fresh (it gets soggy if it sits too long) - 6/10
The buffet is average. 5/10

Omkar - closed.
1717 Middlesex St Unit 3, Lowell, MA,01852

Vegetarian. Got tricked into going there once.
Tried the buffet. I cook better than that. - 3/10

Update: the place closed.

Udupi Bhavan Lowell
1717 Middlesex St, Lowell, MA
(978) 654-6653

Generally nice food. Vegetarian only. 6/10
I like their "Chana bhatura" (ironical, given that this is a South Indian restaurant). The chana (aka chana masala) is a bit creamy though, but tastes ok. Some other chana masalas elsewhere have an overdose of spices and an overbearing raw-spicy taste.
