Coverage from Sideways NYC recommends visiting 'slightly before or after peak dining times, otherwise the crowd can be huge,' pointing to lunch and dinner rushes as the busiest stretches. A follow-up web search of Sideways NYC's write-up confirmed the same guidance and added that the restaurant is a magnet for taxi drivers refueling on a taste of home.
The telltale sign of demand, per that coverage, is the 'neverending line of taxis' parked outside — cabbies, many of South Asian descent, treat it as a go-to spot between fares. That informal cab queue functions as an unofficial gauge of how busy the buffet is at any given hour.
