Hi Justin.
I came across your blog and the list you have is extremely useful. Having recently moved from NY not too long ago, I have been in desperate need of good Indian/Pakistani food.
A couple of the ones on your list are in my top 5 but here are 2 more, little known (or unknown) gems.Anyways ... so there it is. I hope you add these to your list, and also try them out for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Buffet is $7.99, 11 AM - 3:00 PM Weekdays and 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM on Weekends. A no frills kind of place, which is in situated in the right-side half of Around the World Market (South Asian grocery store). The fare is slightly different than the average run-of-the-mill Indian buffet.
The taste on my AUTHENTIC-o-METER is an 8.5 on a scale of 1-10.- Biryani House - (919) 469-0006
My personal favorite now! Very similar to the above mentioned. Buffet is $7.99, weekdays from 11:00 AM to 3:00PM. Unfortunately, they don't seem to have it on the weekends. Also a no frills kind of place. They recently moved to plastic plates from the Styrofoam stuff. Food is again absolutely delicious and I'd rate them a 9 on my patented AUTHENTIC-o-METER :) (I'm originally from Pakistan, so that's why I can say that w/ a bit of authority ;) ) - NOTE: They changed owners a few months back and were kind of dwindling, but seem to have gotten their act together since and have been, consistently, very good. I've been there at least 5 times in the last 2 months and the food quality has been exactly the same every time!
