Pondicherry Cafe Sofitel Mumbai : Food Review, Zomato

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 :)

House of Nomad, Taj Land's End, Bandra, Mumbai : Food Review, Zomato

It is Taj so obviously the ambiance is fantastic, elegant yet seems like a youngster party place,

Prices surprisingly affordable for such a luxurious upmarket place, looks like Taj is wooing the youngsters and they are succeeding big time,

Staff is top notch, well versed with menu,

Drinks and bar bites, very innovative, delicious

Chanel No. 6 is the drink all ladies have to order, even if you dont like alcohol, it has an edible lipstick after all :P

Mediterranean breeze is a must have mocktail,sweet and refreshing,

In food, I really liked Bandra Sheermal Roll, Ice cream sampler, Truffle flatbread, simple ingredients done very well, very clean flavors,

Actually everything is good, the central bar is stunning, they have a large display of liquor,

Will be back!

Tiara Restaurant & Bar - Meluha The Fern : Food Review, Zomato

One of top 5 buffets in the city, for sheer quantity and quality despite such variety of dishes,

Attended their monsoon brunch (ongoing) and left impressed, wanting to come back,

Service is smooth, staff is very caring,

Located on ground floor, accessible and easily navigable even by old people,

very spacious,tables are laid nicely apart,no intrusion on conversations,

There is soup, salads, main course, live counters of cholley bhature, dosa, chaat, kebabs (rotating), pasta, desserts and everything tastes nice,

Dessert especially is fantastic and favorite, dig in soon as dishes get over fast here,

Recommend their salads, dahi vada, curd rice, pasta, kaju gravy, paneer tikka masala

and EVERYTHING in dessert,

Maybe the most down to earth cost buffet I have seen in such premium property!

Solitaire Restaurant - Kohinoor Continental : Food Review, Zomato

One of my favorite places, I visited it very recently with family for dinner buffet, one of the most price effective places in Mumbai. Staff is so amazing, loved our time here, very warm and polite staff, very elegant ambiance and delicious food. Starters served on table, main course and dessert spread on the table, choices for veggies a bit less than non veggies but still very satisfactory. Some delicious items were the salads, fried rice, noodles, sweet & sour veggies gravy, coconut pudding, paan ice cream, rose ice cream, corn cutlets and so on!

Imperial China - Hilton Mumbai International : Food Review, Mumbai

Beautiful heritage ambiance, peaceful and quaint, live music streams in from the lobby, the hanging fans from the ceiling at Imperial China truly give it a vibe of an era where time stands still. Prices also very reasonable for the kind of delicious food they are providing and the service is truly exceptional with each staff member doing their best to exceed all expectations. 

Would suggest everything on the menu here, portions are quite good, flavors are superb. Loved Chef's special Imperial Dragon soup and Schezwan Eggplant (so crunchy!) along with Vegetable Hot Basil Rice, this was perhaps the first time in my life I had fried rice without needing any gravy accompaniment, it was so filling and wholesome. 

There are more than enough options for veggies as well as non veggies to please every kind of tastebud and they have started having different kinds of food festivals too. Will be back soon.
