    Very Poor Reservation system. Staffs are not customer friendly. Rooftop section has poor setup. Very poor maintenance. Not enough space for the free dining. Need more improvements, patience for handling customers Food taste is good. Worth around 300 to 400. Not for 600+

  • 3/5 Arvind .. 4 years ago on Google β€’ 117 reviews
    This restaurant is value for money for team lunches. They serve a wide variety of starters and main course. The dessert section is less, compared to the other BBQ places. They do not have a live grill on the table. Everything is served on the plates. The ambiance is really different and good. If you are going there for an occasion , do inform the management prior. Parking is bit difficult over there. Overall a good place to dine in , if you go as a group. Not suitable for casual dining.

    540 for buffet which includes prawns, crab and mutton as well. Friendly staffs, good service. The ambiance adds a greater advantage to this restaurant, they made few animals move as well with sound which made them look more realistic. To be more precise there were few Chinese style starters and Indian style starters as well, mostly Chinese starters were sweet can be little careful on that. Other starters were amazing, crab and prawns made this amazing. Also they had variety of other starters where we usually don't have like fish momo and fish cutlet, etc. Main courses were also brilliant there were various variety which attracts everyone. Mixed sea food noodle, chicken kothu parota were the highlighted one. Overall it was an amazing experience and it's worth the price.

    Main thing is environment... They decorated the hotel like forest environment... When we visit, the buffet cost is 540rs... Really worth for the food they providing... More starters, Main dishes r awesome... Desserts are really super & many flavours... Worth for money... If you guys want to go for gang dinner, choose it without hesitation... Then one thing about a guy who gave welcome speech, he had talent in music & he ll entertain you & he ll make you to dance... Surely u ll have more fun...

  • 3/5 Sheeja Rajagopal (. 5 years ago on Google β€’ 247 reviews
    This is a forest themed restaurant with a buffet menu. They serve unlimited starters and then there is the buffet for main course. To begin with, finding the entrance was a bit of challenge as it is located at the backside of the building. The ambience is good and the kids will the animals and the noises. But lighting was a bit low for my liking. They welcome the kids with a face mask and toffees. They served a wide range of starters from tandoori chicken to mini samosas and egg bajjis. The starters were just OK. In the main course, the items I liked were the stew and the mutton curry. The desert section was decent. Overall, I felt the food could have been much better.

    Worstest ever place to have a buffet. Even if they offer free food, just don’t step in.!!!!! They have a wide range of varieties. But everything is tasteless. And undercooked. Hardly two starters and main dish were worth to try. Rice was way to dry and uncooked. Even the desserts were unpleasant to taste. Totally not worth for the money you pay. Pay few more extra bucks and enjoy the meal at Barbecue nation or absolute barbecue or coal barbecue.. totally worth it if you are a hardcore foodie.

    Starters - main dishes - Desserts are all okay. Place near ice cream station is very bad. Guess management need to look into it. Lighting inside premises is dark theme I guess, since some areas do no have light and not able to see what food is served. Service by all the staffs is commendable

  • 4/5 Thyaga R. 5 years ago on Google β€’ 134 reviews
    This is forest themed restuarant and food was so good, no grills at table but they serve all starters to table. The food is worth for money. Service wise they need to improve to compete the best out there in market, more friendly and kind service while serving starters. Overall good for money, different kind of starters from usual buffet restuarants.

    As the name says ANIMAL KINGDOM, It has got some really good interior designs giving you a feel that you are literally surrounded by lots of Animals in side the jungle . The food here is OK! Veg, you won't find much variety but Non Veg, it's worth a shot. The cost is around 500 per head. Go and enjoy with your family. Happy dining!!!

  • 5/5 Sudhan K. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place for lunch n dinner. All the starters tasted amazing. Limited main course and deserts. Place was lil dark coz of the cave theme. Kids would definitely enjoy the sound n animation of the animals. It was pretty warm in the restaurant n caused lil discomfort. Nominal price and a definite place to visit.

  • 4/5 Vinoba M. 5 years ago on Google β€’ 119 reviews
    Crowded during weekends, feels like congested. During weekdays food menu changes. Staffs r polite, food quality is good but the place is not with pleasant ambience like being in a dark jungle. If u come as a group call and ask for concession. Ice cream could have been better. Enough two wheeler parking. Car parking not possible i think.. its situated under adyar fly over signal. Rain forest is also nearby. Can try once. Few may like this place.

  • 4/5 Santhosh M. 5 years ago on Google
    I went at Christmas time for a buffet lunch and had a fully satisfied feel. The theme makes us feel like we are in some kind of dense forest or a cave like thing with animals around us. About the food I would say it is such a flavorsome and delightful to eat as many varieties were served as starters. The starters are the highlights rather than the main course here, so do try it 😎🀘. Overall worth of the money we pay for!.

  • 3/5 ARUN A. 4 years ago on Google
    Not like before .. Now the number of starter is less and taste is moderate .

  • 5/5 Siddarth S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food and good ambience, customer service is alright as well. Try and place lesser tables on the terrace/open verandah, so there isn’t congestion when a big group arrives for food. I highly recommend their all you can eat buffet. It’s pretty filling for a large sized person as well.
