What people say, in short
Most people recommend Bombay Sweets, a sweets shop on Hillcroft, and several simply name it as a suggestion. Some praise the chaat: one also likes the dosas and the crunchy snack mix but cannot speak for the sweets, and the other praises the samosa and calls the desserts excellent. One says the food is still good though the buffet has ended, and another says it used to be good but has declined since a management change. One calls it fine but finds the chaat sweetened for American palates.
