Annapoorna on Walnut and Culver gets my nod.  This little, cramped Indian restaurant serves up a mean buffet.  White meat chicken tikka masala for lunch buffet?  Where else can you get that?  Clean plates without residual moisture from not drying properly? check!  Do Indians eat here?  Hell yeah!  We were here at lunch and it got full before 12:15.  Lunch buffets starts at $9 ($8 on Mon/Tues), they have a $1 coupon in those books that clutter up your mailboxes everyweek.  Oh, and you get dosas and nan!  Again no other places have both.  We use to frequent Haveli in Tustin alot but not anymore.  In summary:

Positives:  chicken tikka masala is WHITE meat, gulap jamun is light and fluffy, dosas AND nan, decent service, clean plates, food is HOT
Negatives:  cramped so no strollers, hard to get to during lunch fighting against the tide of Irvine HS students going to quiznos/wendy's, can be a wait after 12:30.  and yes you do stink a little afterwards but not as much as other Indian restaurants
 
we always like india cook house for dinner in that same complex.  i dont know about their buffet but at least in our circle, its considered the best indian restaurant in irvine and most of OC
