Panahar: Mother's Day

Many of you know how much we love Panahar: great food, wonderful service, and BYOB makes for a winning combo in our book- plus it's only about a mile from our house! A few weeks ago we were enjoying some pakoras with Stacy and Chris, when our server let us know about some of their upcoming brunch events. Apparently they do a lot of these events, pretty much unbeknownst to anyone not on their email list. So we quickly signed up for said list, and today I received a notice about their Mother's Day Special Buffet.

An All-You-Can-Eat Buffet this Sunday, May 8th from 11:30am - 2:30pm for brunch and 5:30pm -10:00pm for dinner. See below for the delicious sounding dishes available! The buffet is $22 a person (including sales tax) and also comes with unlimited champagne and indian beer (so don't worry about BYOBing it... unless you really dislike your mother)!
