I visited this restaurant with my wife and two kids on 17 June to celebrate my birthday over their dinner buffet. The buffet is priced at approximately ₹2,300 per adult and ₹1,100 per child (excluding GST).
The restaurant has tie-ups with platforms such as Swiggy Dineout and Zomato, offering up to 50% discounts on the bill. However, one thing to be aware of is the significant convenience fee charged by these platforms, which can be around 10% of the discounted bill amount, with GST applied on top of it. As a result, the effective cost works out to be around ₹1,400 per adult even after the discount.
Coming to the food, the buffet spread was relatively limited. During our visit, only one chicken starter, one fish starter, two vegetarian starters, and a few snacks such as pani puri were available. The main course included chicken biryani, chicken and fish curries, along with several vegetarian dishes. The dessert selection was also limited. A complimentary fruit drink was served with unlimited refills.
The food quality was decent and acceptable, but the taste was average and expected, but, did not particularly stand out. One thing worth noting is that access to the poolside seating area is not included as part of the buffet package.
On the positive side, the hotel ambience is excellent. The property is well maintained, and we were able to take some wonderful family photographs, which added to the overall experience.
Overall, if you are visiting primarily for the ambience and a relaxed family outing, you may enjoy the experience. However, if you are a food enthusiast expecting a buffet spread and variety comparable to Barbeque Nation or Flechazo, you may find the offering underwhelming considering the price being charged.
