Beautiful luxurious ambiance at Sofitel,
Staff is too good, so very polite and helpful and treat everybody who walks in as royalty for sure,
Pondicherry Cafe is situated at ground level,
Right now, Thai Food Festival is going on,
Chefs have flown in especially from Bangkok Sofitel and have brought authentic spices, flavors, fruits, vegetables etc. to bring real taste, they completely succeed, the ambiance here is plush and elegant and extra Thai special decorations have made it even better,
The buffet is HUGE and has Indian, Continental, Pizza, Pasta, Chinese, Lebanese, Salads, Desserts, Bread Counter, London Dairy Ice Cream counter..basically there are too many options which is a plus since pricing is premium too,
Most dishes we tried were really good, be it Veg pulao, Paneer masala, Karela subji, Doodhi with vatana, pizza, dimsums,
Among Thai, their Green curry with veggies and Tofu as well as Thai khosuey were out of this world,
The dessert section is brilliant with every pastry,every mousse,every tart,cake etc. being simply fabulous and alone giving complete worth of the buffet!
There were some misses too though,noodles were little undercooked, mushrooms in continental section felt overcooked/mushy/as if they went bad, some cheese didn't feel good,
And service was really slow in the beginning of lunch hour, really really slow, waited for 15 minutes before somebody showed up to take order of fresh lime soda! Staff was extremely nice though as I said so cannot complain,
Would also like to give them extra points for having some really unique dishes on the menu and everything tastes quite authentic too,
Would like to be back :)
