  The buffet is genrally very good.  A little bit more selection would be nice but they have enough variety to make it worth it.  The food is good.  The fresh baked naan (bread) is delicious.
  
  The buffet price is good but they go down a star since the menu is a bit pricy and the ambiance is like a bar which I don't care for.  Honestly though I am just glad there is a place to get Indian food in town.  You will find a little bit better Indian places in Midland or Lansing but that's a bit of a drive.

  THANK GOD MT PLEASANT HAS SOMETHING OTHER THAN BURGERS.
  
  Seriously though.
  
  I love Indian food, actually it is my favorite kind of food.
  
  Sadly this is the only Indian option in Mt. Pleasant.  If I wanted to try a different Indian restaurant I would have to go to Lansing or Midland.
  
  That being said, I visit L1 3-4 times a month for dinner and the Indian buffet. I have only looked at the menu once and that was my first trip, reason being the prices are outrageous compared to the buffet.
  
  PROS:
  
  L1 has a dinner buffet every single day!
  
  Unlimited fresh naan. When I say fresh, I mean they literally start making it the minute you sit down. The naan might be my favorite thing about L1 and what sets it apart from any other Indian restaurant I have been to.
  
  Usually over six options to try with every buffet.
  
  Decent flavors in everything I have tried so far.
  
  They give Mount Pleasant a very necessary dash of diversity.
  
  Awesome drink specials.  
  
  CONS:
  
  Food is rarely changed out at the buffet.  I am not sure how they go about checking on the buffet but at times the rice as been crunchy from being in the buffet line too long. I have also gone for a certain dish and it will only have 3 pieces of vegetables or a few chunks of meat. Pretty disappointing.
  
  The staff at L1 is very young and they have a tendency to talk shit about previous customers complaining. Last thing you want to hear when you are trying to relax.
  
  It is unbearably cold in this restaurant. I bring a sweatshirt with me every time I go so I don't have to wear my huge coat while eating.
  
  The seating and tables are horrible. You can tell they are very cheap and very uncomfortable. I know L1 is a night club after 10pm or so, so I'm not sure if they move the tables or what once the partying starts, but either way it makes actually staying in the restaurant an unpleasant experience.
