  • 2/5 Ananth N. 3 years ago on Google
    The worst ever buffet where a hundred items are shown in menu but 95 are missing and the manager keeps lying thru his teeth that a refill is arriving in 2 minutes. Nothing will ever come, eat what is there, like it or not. Actually food, when it appeared, was quite decent. That is why 2 stars. I offer a few photos as proof that the containers are mostly empty and they rarely refill. If it's your lucky day you get the items when they are filled for the first time. Poor waiters, I am sure they hardly ever get any tip. But they are not to be blamed. What can they do if management just is too greedy. Update (25 feb 2020) The above review is based on 3 visits, through March 2016 to dec 2019. Each time, I had a huge group of either colleagues or family with me. Update (june 2020) AVOID LIKE THE COVID-19.

    We were a group of 11 and assumed that we were lucky to get a table for 11 at 8:30 PM on a Sunday night. Later did we know that the restaurant was not even occupied by a 50% . Had ordered Nachos , chilly babycorn and cheese fondue for starters , all were great . For the cheese fondue we were given bread and potato wedges , the wedges were not that good . Later for main course we option for pizza and pasta , size of pizza was very small while pasta was average . The pizza was really tasty , i had even poured some left over cheese from the fondue onto the pizza which made it like a Cheese overloaded pizza slice . Had a Jalpaan Pan Delight which is like my fav drink whenever i go to jalpaan and obviously at the end the gave their signature pan shot which was awesome as always . The only negative point was that the service was too too slow . But that does not mean we wont go again .

    Excellent hotel for vegetarians, unique thing we found here is they serve Jain dishes also. Excellent ambience and awesome service by Dev. Must try once.

    This place is rated high in all the food apps and it's vegetarian only. So went with friends for lunch. The waiting area was too stuffy. Service was too slow maybe because it was crowded for weekend. Starters and Mocktails were really tasty. Main course in a la carte' was good but not that great in buffet. Lot of items for buffet were empty and didn't get filled in even after notifying the staff. Buffet pricing and number of items can be revisited. Overall felt that maybe there is too much hype.

    Affordable, North Indian vegetarian restaurant. Good for team outing. Starters are great. Service by Sagar and Saddam were exceptional. After dessert you will be served with mint milk shot. Your filling for the dinner.

  • 1/5 Vishal V. 6 years ago on Google • 141 reviews
    Worst ever buffet I have ever went. The service was very poor and slow. None of the dishes which were served were hot and not tasty too. Everything was blunt. There were cockroaches in the shelf where plates are being for us to take. Only thing which was good was gulab jamun. The others deserts were also really bad. Will never ever visit this place again. Verdict: Never go to this place to waste your precious money and time

  • 3/5 Muthu k. 4 years ago on Google
    Pro 1. This is a pure veg buffet restaurant 2. Seating and table cleanliness, ambience was nice 3. Though vegetarian has limitation in terms of variety, this restaurant has good food. 4. Taste of food is nice. 5. Cost is affordable. ₹600 per head and they provide discounts for bulk orders. 6. Located at happening place. So no problem in accessing it Scope for improvement. 1. They make is wait between refills of starters, like some 10, 15 minutes and meanwhile we loose our patience. 2. Music can be added. 3. Only 5 types of starters come along for the price. Rest of all good

    Weekends eminently avoidable.. Too noisy and crowded.. The staff is incapable of managing the buffet counters and 15 min waiting time for dishes to be refilled is atrocious by any standards..food is just ok.. Would I repeat.. Are you crazy....the manager Just stands looking lost as you are waiting with that plate in your hands next to the buffet counters waiting to scrape out the last bit of food left.. They aren't going to refill it for some time to come... Pathetic

    Food lovers can hangout this place with effective buffet and special mocktails but main course in buffet is not upto the mark, especially gravy items. Timings are little short as 12 - 3 pm for lunch.

  • 5/5 Ayesha Yasmin m. 5 years ago on Google • 51 reviews
    Excellent for veg lovers. Lots of variety in veg. all the veg dishes are yummy. The pastas are so delicious. There is lot of main dishes, live counter of panyaram, jalebi and poori. They give u a Paan juice which is totally different. The starters was good with crispy corn, bonda, pakoda, chat items etc. The garlic bread is like a kutty pizza , so yummy. The two types of soups, corn and palak was yummy. I could nt say of anything tat was bad. As all items were really good including the deserts. I suggest this place for vegetarians. The ambiance and experience will be delightful.

    Diverse buffet at affordable rate. They have less amount of starters but they have more variety in main course. Everyone should try the dessert section especially gulab Jamun, laukhi halwa.The taste in many of the dishes mediocre which can be improved. .This place should be visited if you are veg luver Semma place for dining experience.

  • 3/5 Mathangi Anitha R. 4 years ago on Google
    The starters are awesome, but they must focus on the main course. Lots of varieties are there but none of them was good. Service is ordinary. Only one common toilet is available for all. Billing takes more time.

  • 5/5 Maheedhar Sastry V. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice place. Veg buffet is preferred food... Items are tasty and ambiance is good.

  • 5/5 Anupkumar K. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was great! My second visit to the restaurant and first for lunch. A pure veg experience and a good alternate to the BBQs. Jal-Paan the final dessert was good. Reasonable cost

  • 5/5 Venkatesh M. 4 years ago on Google
    Courteous staff..the manager was especially wonderful and he went to the extent of taking group photos for us. The atmosphere felt very relaxed. We never felt rushed and could take all the time in the world for our dinner. Quite place. Our extended family had gone there and arrangements are in place to seat even large families together. We chatted over dinner, kids moved around with their plates taking their buffet items. For the older people, in spite of buffet, food was served at the seats. Paan shot at the end was the best and pls don't miss it. In all it was a very pleasant evening. Even my parents who are a little traditional enjoyed the food and atmosphere....

  • 3/5 athulya v. 4 years ago on Google
    Food is good for 499 we had. The rate 499 is for weekdays. The starters firat round was served fast but the subsequent rounds they were delaying it. Found the staffs a bit lazy to do work. Other than it everything was good

    An awesome Veg Restaurant, Nice food and really quick service... And has tooo many varieties to have in buffet... At pretty reasonable rate...!!!! Nice one. .!!!!

  • 5/5 Radha K. 3 years ago on Google
    If you are a foodie, you'd love this place. If you are not one yet, then go straight to the Jalpaan near by. The fun of relishing the amazing variety would double if you go as a group. The interiors are aesthetically done. The waiters give a fantastic service. You could go a second, third time to savour a different set of dishes each time. Car parking is well taken care of - in some Jalpaans valet parking is offered.

  • 4/5 Kumar M. 4 years ago on Google
    The place is tidy and the service was great. We had selected the buffet option and the starters and the main entrees were really good. There were a number of options. You also had the ability to do ala carte but the whole group has to choose that option. The one we are was in adayar.
