Chettinad restaurant (Karaikudi) and buffet restaurant (Lotus World Buffet) on the corner of North End and Tamworth Road, near West Croydon Station. Although the two parts of the restaurant have different names, they're operated by the same people and there's no segregation of seating inside — whether you're ordering from the Chettinad menu or serving yourself from the buffet, you can sit anywhere.
Lotus World Buffet was open by October 2015 (under different management than the previous buffet restaurant in these premises), and Karaikudi joined it a couple of months later, with the first day of operation being on Saturday 12 December. Karaikudi didn't have a printed menu as of our visit, but the options described to us included biryanis, dosas, chapati, puri, and various curries.

It was never entirely clear whether the name of the restaurant was Babylon Inn or Babylon Buffet. The food choices included Indian, Chinese, Middle Eastern, Italian (including pizza), and burgers. They also did takeaway and delivery.
