This is in the restaurant at the beachfront hotel Novotel. It is located inside and is air conditioned. To clarify there is no sea view. My parents are fond of the sizzlers here, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. The grilled chicken is really well made. Overall a nice restaurant with good food and can be combined with a plan to sit and sip beverages, snacks at Gadda la Vida that is sea facing open air or a walk by the lovely Juhu beach.

Novotel located next to Sun Sand Hotel in Juhu is hosting Dakshinee - South Indian Food Festival at that restaurant - The Square. The food festival is on from 16th August to 26th August and will have delicacies from Kerala, Tamil Nadu and some from Andhra Pradesh. For this food festival, Novotel has specially flown in Chefs Vineet from Novotel Kochi to assist the executive chef at Novotel Mumbai Chef Ashish. Novotel is already know for its North Indian food and this food festival is a pleasant surprise and a welcome change from their end. As soon as you enter The Square, a lavish spread awaits you. All South Indian delicacies are placed together, there are Live Counters as well and for the regular customers of Novotel who wouldn't want to be a part of this fest, have options from North Indian, Continental, Chinese, etc. After your meal is over, a grand desserts spread is available to cater to your sweet tooth! Plenty of options for Non Vegetarians, not covered in this review! Talking about what all I tried at Dakshinee Fest (veg options) - We started with couple of drinks both Coconut based. Had the Kokum Kick and Virgin Pinacolada as mocktails. Nicely blended with Kokum and Pineapple respectively, something you can try. Next, had couple of starters, the Spicy Vegetable Cutlet and Kaya Varuval. Kaya means Banana and Varuval means deep fried. Both the starters were yummy. One can definitely get the rich flavour of the spices and masalas used from the South. After the starters, we tried the Vegetable Rasam Soup, a very popular Onam dish. Made of tamarind and boiled veggies like carrot, onion, tomato and cauliflower, the soup was nice and had rich texture. Not too sweet, not too spicy, just perfect! Next round was that of the Live Counter Dishes - Appam, Kuthu Paratha and Dosa and Veg Pakoras! I tried the Potato Pakora, yummy! Although my favourite was the Appam given with Vegetable Stew! Appam was perfectly cooked and Vegetable Stew was reasonably sweet. A good combination! Next had the Kuthu (Kothu) Paratha - very famous dish from Tamil Nadu. where Malabar Paratha (Parotta) is broken into pieces along with veggies like onion, tomatoes and green chillies along with other mix veggies like beans carrots and peas. This Paratha is available in Veg and Non Veg versions and is a must try at Dakshinee! Before the mains, I tried a couple of Salads - Nadaan Kappa Thaalichatu - Sweet Potato Salad and Parpu Sundal - Split Yellow Lentils Salad! Salads are nice and one can try them as per their taste palette. Coming to the mains - I was excited to try their Ghee Rice! It was divine and those who are Ok with the taste and flavour of Ghee must try this! Simply epic! I also tried 2 vegetables along with Malabar Paratha - Vendakkai Masala (Okra cooked with Indian spices) and Pavakka Thenga Aracha Curry (Bitter Gourd cooked with Coconut Paste) Finally for desserts, tried few of them - Banana Pudding (eggless), Pazham Pradhaman (eggless Banana Payasam), Aval Vilayichathu (eggless Jaggery candied Rice Flakes) and Semiya Payasam. Personally, I loved both the payasams and banana pudding as well! Would also like to mention some dishes available in the lavish spread at The Square and worth trying - Starters - Lasooni Paneer Tikka Mains - Paneer Kundal Kalia, Steamed Rice with Dal Makhani and Kadi Pakoda and Baigan Masala Desserts - Pannacotta with Fresh Fruits, Orange Rasgulla, Carrot Mascarpone Cake, Choux Brownies, etc. Part of the Accor Group of Hotels, I always look forward to Novotel's Food Fests they host. Special Thank you to Novotel and Accor Group for getting Dakshinee - South Indian Food and South Indian Culture to Mumbai!

the Food here is just super amazing and this is a genuinely recommended place from my side ! we went here for dakshinapatha a journey to the south of India, which had a wide buffet spread of south Indian food. starting from the starters to ending to the desserts, everything was lip-smacking. the staff is very friendly and courteous. . taste- 5/5 quantity-5/5 service- 5/5 ambiance- 4.5/5 pocket friendly- definable for the buffet they offer

The square is a Buffet Restaurant at Novotel which is partly facing the pool side with a little view of the sea. The staff is very kind and courteous and always smiling. The food spread is good and so are the desserts. I tried their Sunday Brunch. They have a live grill counter facing the pool area. They have a little of everything. Chinese, Italian, Mexican, American and Indian. Salads and dips were excellent. Quite a few to choose from. I tried black garlic for the 1st time and it was so good.. well marinated and pickled. Loved the burrata and fruit salad. This was specially made for me. The small cucumber canopies were excellent too. The Chinese spread was good. The fried rice, noodles, gravy, Dimsum and a delicious babycorn, waterchestnuts, mushroom stirfry made for me. Enjoy colorful nachos with a delicious pineapple jalapeno salsa and tomato salsa not forgetting the cheese sauce. They have a live pasta counter. You can try some pizza too. I tried the Arancini here. The Indian spread had Chaat, farsan and mains. Dhokla, samosa, potli, patra, khandvi and fafda. My husband feasted on it. Loved the veg dum Biryani. It not only looked great but tasted fantastic. The Dal Makhani was delicious too. Loved it. Coming to desserts, loved the Sugar free brownie. It was crumbly and so good. The spread was really good. They have a small activity area for Children. They can play on a trampoline or paint pots. Overall a lovely experience 1teaspoonlove recommends Food-4.5/5 Service-4.5/5 Ambiance-4/5 Vfm-4.5/5 Return index-4.5/5

Novotel is an expression of bombay . It's by the famous Juhu Beach yet beholding it's tranquility . Having a pool right by the beach gains advantage I went there for my Sunday brunch . There was live music going on by the pool with the hot aroma of kebabs and a little bar I had my mocktail and chilled on the hammock Brunches are usually filled with lots lots lots of food They had a gujju spread too from dhokla to patra to gathiya. I chose salads as they had teamed different ingredients. I really liked the simple Hakka noodles too . The waffle had an egg aftertaste so didn't like it so much . Mains also had chicken , pizzas , pastas and all Coming to desserts , they had a widespread My pick : rasmalai Also the lemon Meringue cake was uniquely good I also liked the raspberry chocolate cake and tiramisu chocolate cup ! And wait , saving the best for the last . They also had cake mixing Imagine putting all of that crazy alcohol and mixing it with the dry fruits ! Damn ! Overall it's good for a leisure brunch in Bombay , specially for the view that it offers !

Visited The Square for Dinner. Ambience is just amazing. Service was very quick. We ordered Green apple Mojito, which was fantabulous. Chicken tikka was very tasty. Aptly cooked and delicious. Chicken Dhaba style curry too was very good. Salad and papad served at beginning was icing on cake. Overall had amazing time at Novotel and The Square

The food was really good. We opted for buffet options over there. It costs us around 2,800 per person. The ambience was good. Overall a good experience.

The place is located at a beautiful location. The starters and the main course were not so good. I enjoyed the Desserts in particular as the spread was huge and lots of options to indulge in. The staff service is good and overall a good place to spend some leisure time.

The Square is highly under rated restaurant. The buffet spread here is extraordinary. Loved the food selection as well as quality of food. Add to that the excellent hospitality and service of restaurant staff. That made our evening special. Special thanks to Mr. Atul Singh who took care of us like family members when we dined here. Highly recommended for luxury dining experience. Thank you.

Sunday Brunch 💖 A fun Brunch at Square in Novotel at Juhu. An amazing experience of trying a delicious spread of food with a variety to select from. Also was lucky enough to try a few South Indian dishes during the Sunday Brunch. Thank you Square for this lovely experience ❤️

Had a great experience dining at the Square! Loved the Risotto with mushrooms and the Aglio-e-olio spaghetti! Special thanks to Balkarishna that served us and for the special cake as we celebrated a birthday!!

The food and drinks are awesome in Square restaurant. Specially thanks to Praful for his warm welcome and Prashant for the buffet orientation.& staff is very polite in service.

Recently had the breakfast buffet. The food was above average. I expected more. But definitely the service was at par. Especially vanshika. She served us well. One of their staff members, Sami had a great knowledge about the same. He was very helpful and welcoming and made sure our visit was comfortable and memorable. Would visit back soon, not because of the food but for their hospitality.

Great place. Good ambience. Tasty food and amazing collection of desserts. Friendly staff forever smiling.

I had the opportunity to visit numerous hotels, but this one truly stands out. The rooms are generously sized, and the hotel offers a stunning view. Their breakfast buffet is impressive, boasting a wide array of options. The service staff is exceptional, with a special mention for Mr. Sami, who provided exceptional care. When he noticed I was coughing, he promptly served me water and offered additional assistance. Overall, it's an outstanding property.

Food was great... Veg club sandwich is just perfect for all veggie friends.... Sami and Rutik were warm and welcoming in their service... Had a great time... Must visit...

I went to this hotel solely to enjoy their breakfast buffet, which offers a wide range of choices, particularly their bakery items, which are delightful. The staff, especially Amin, provided exceptional service and took great care of us. I want to express my gratitude to Novotel Mumbai Juhu Beach for providing such a fantastic experience.

It was a really pleasant experience when I went to Buffet for dinner, The whole Staff was really friendly and approachable Mr BalaKrishna assisted me to the seat since the place was packed. He also kept a check on everyone's request and asked me if I needed anything else overall a very good experience. I would also like to thank the other Staff members as well, I didn't see their name so couldn't mention it.

Balakrishna was extremely good his service. He had very positive vibe. Specifically took care of requirements in the food. Extremely helpful and Tushar was good with his quick service. They both were very humble and proactive. Thank you so much for making my dinner good.

Impressive breakfast buffet! I've sampled breakfast spreads at numerous hotels, but this one truly stands out. It's not only reasonably priced but also offers a vast array of choices. Chef JP is truly remarkable. Special thanks to the service staff, Jeet and Vanshika, for their exceptional service.

This has been our first experience of a stay at Novotel we are here from London and being our very first experience with Novotel in Bombay it was an awesome experience. Our dining experience was simply superb to say the least. Chef Amit worked magic with his food and flavours and Balkrishna who provided us with service was kind and always ready to help as well as very polite! Many thanks to him as well as it made our experience even nicer!

Food was really amazing and the staff was great too. Thank you Gaurav and Balkrishna for taking care of us.. great job done 👍🏻😃

Stayed at Novotel for the weekend and had breafast + the fabled Sunday Brunch here. Fabulous. Chefs Debu and JP did a fantastic job with breakfast. Despite the massive spread everyone including us always have special demands. They were smooth and on point. The Sunday Brunch was a fabulous experience. Jeet & Sami took real good care of us. Loved their outfits as well. Live music, massive food spread with live counters for fish, prawns and chicken. A bar with a nuce range of cocktails. All topped up with desserts to send you on a high. Pastry Chef Rajesh did a fabulous job with the Teachers Day theme. Look forward to a return here post monsoon.

Had a lovely Mexican Sunday brunch here with my family. The Square is a inhouse Restaurant right to the shores of famous vile parle Juhu beach. Loved the varieties served in buffet along with the mesmerizing ambience. Also the best part we liked was the outdoor seating as you can enjoy the breezy Juhu beach view along with the delicious food and drinks. Would recommend this place specially their buffet. You can spend the quality time with your loved ones.

The seafood Chowder was super amazing at square dinner today i have only heard of it on TV till date but today i had it for the first time and it was super awesome. I have worked in many five star hotel around Maharashtra and the north and also a year in srilanka but they never had it on their buffet menu this is the first and the best taste experience with fresh seafood.

Great food and ambience. Service could be improved by increasing staff count. And more variety could have been provided for buffet

had a great time yesterday! sunday brunch was awesome with excellent spread which would please all ! special thanks to PRAFUL who ensured we were well attended to and raised the bar on the service front.... few goof-ups like shortage of plates / short staffed but i don't blame them for that as footfall more than expected. keep it up ! look forward to visiting again n again :)

Food was stale and was microwaved whenever we requested for food rather than giving fresh. Service by staff was good other than that will never visit . Please don’t waste money by going to this place . The 2 stars given is for staff only and for food 0

A decent buffet ...if you in and around andheri-juhu-bandra drop by..
