Yes, I enjoy Korma Sutra, too!
There are buffets and there are buffets. On one of my trips to India I told my husband that I hope the afterlife includes an Indian buffet. My favorite is at the Taj West End in Bangalore, and the Crowne Plaza Delhi is a close second although it was grossly overpriced a few years ago. I try to keep my weight under control (female, 5'7, 135 lbs) so I don't pig out, but I love being able to get a little taste of a variety of dishes, with no waste. I eat what I put on my plate. And the desserts. On my first trip to India I told my husband I was going to propose marriage to the dessert chef. All in tiny servings so I can have one and throughly enjoy it. (When I take guys in my office to the TWE for lunch they each have 3 or 4.)
I'd put Cinzetti's, near us, in the middle of the road. Decent food but quite expensive if you're eating moderately. My son likes it but mostly he pigs out on the bruschetta with the chopped-tomato spread so they probably make money on him, too. I go light on meat and go back for vegetable-type stuff several times. The place is usually crowded with overweight diners, some of them having to use scooters to get around. Scary. I think my son and I ($40 for 2 people with tip, I had club soda, he had tap water) subsidized a few of them.
We're headed to Myrtle Beach tomorrow- it's plagued with All U Kin Eat joints. I suspect the food quaity is notches below Cinzetti's and my husband is a very light eater. We'll stay away, thank you.
