Kabob Palace is the off-shoot of a very casual 24-hour restaurant a block away. (Mostly favored by late night crowds and taxi drivers since it's open forever.) The palace is a "family restaurant," which is still casual but feels less like fast food.
I've been there a few times but never ordered off the menu because their buffet is so tempting. (As a former fattie, I usually discourage a buffet visit because they encourage overeating and sometimes the food is less than fresh.) Fortunately, the food is pretty fresh and most of it are slow-cooked stewed items that actually benefit from sitting over a heat source all day.
Sadly, I'm not sure what everything was, but I can give a general thumbs-up. I usually skip the salad and the yogurt that serves as both dressing and condiment to almost everything. The rice had corn, peas, and chopped carrots in it and is enhanced by being poured over with the chick pea curry and/or spinach next to it. The tandoori chicken, lentil(?) daal, and eggplant and potato curry were all expectedly good. The fried fish wasn't so great just because it gets a little dry from the heat, but the lamb stew was excellent.
