Lakruwana's weekend buffet draws enough demand that the restaurant caps every seating at a strict 90 minutes, per the restaurant's own site, a policy typically used to turn tables faster when demand outpaces seats.
The restaurant confirms reservations are only guaranteed for parties larger than six, meaning smaller groups are seated on a walk-in, availability basis, which local coverage frames as producing a line for lunch on busy weekends (restaurant site; local coverage).
