Review The Royal Palate - Chennai (Madras)

Ambience was good. Well maintained. Dishes were good. Decent no. of dishes.

Good Hospitality & Good food. But ambience and finish could improve.

Could be better by taste, quantity and quality was good. Starter fish was very good.

We decided for a buffet and after too much of discussion and search in zomoto we decided to enter into Ambika empire. First thing is the price is wrong what mentioned in zomoto. They are charging 850+tax but after discussion they gave a offer and made it as INR 900 net. That was first shocker at entry and happy for their immediate offer. They are not charging for the kids(we went with 2 kids aged 5 and 2 yrs). The ambiance is really good and it was almost full on the Sunday lunch. Even though it's buffet they have more man power who are ready to serve you on table. We felt too happy with their service. Coming to food less options on non veg but taste was so good. We loved their crispy fish. It was the greatest one. Their chicken was also yummy and mutton gravy and biriyani was awesome. On the veg side they were serving around 18 dishes and I felt the chef is super good on veg than non veg. So superb dishes in veg and they are serving raitha on bamboo. That was so cool and we loved it. Overall it was a good experience except the shock of change in price.

Excellent breakfast buffet. Wide variety of tasty food prepared in a healthy way.

Great awsome tasty food a definite yes always

Good service and nice food.

Excellent food great service courtesy staff .very good guest relationship by they manager Mr Arul alagan .will definitely visit again.

Bamboo biriyani was nice.. Served with chicken soup, bbq tikka, variety of raita and desert at last.. Nice ambience..

Chilli Prawn wasn't upto the mark, Bamboo birayani was over priced.

Pls donot try in this restratunt and buffet rate also high for 800 only two non veg and in dessert also only very less item pls donot try this hotel

The service was very bad. People compelled us to take up the buffet which had few dishes. When we asked for menu card there were lot of confusion and they don't know which is there signature dish and what is special for today. One of the staff told they have only normal dishes. They are not sure which dish s available with them. On top of it we waited about 40 mins to get our food. The waitress & waiters were polite enough to hear us. The other person had a lethargic attitude which was much more irritating. Pls don't try their potato salads<br/>It s completely horrible!!

Loved the ambiance and service. Dishes were great. Mostly loved the à la carte menu. Dishes were delicious. Great service by the staff. A royal touch to the restaurant was awesome.

Very bad experience..worst food and bad hospitality..not worth for money.i dnt want to give even a single star to them.v made a blunder of selecting buffet..

Super food and yummy .excellent experience food and service.wow moments nameskhar with staffs.vada so beautiful bamboo fragrance was superb.

Had a great evening at Royal Palate, the ambience is great and the service is excellent by Mr.Ganesh and staff.<br/><br/>The quality of food is good and one of the perfect place for starters that match the pungency of Andhra, Main Course is good and overall had a great time with this restaurant.

Not a very impressive place. God quality is bit above average. Service is decent. Nothing out of the box to say about this place. Quite old interiors and could be maintained better.

Went there to try the bamboo biriyani.It was great,very rich in ghee.Comes with soup starter and dessert.Value for money guaranteed.Polite Staffs<br/>Overall experience was good.

We had wonderful evening at Royal palate , it's really amazing and excellent service.<br/><br/>Really we enjoyed the moments because of the restaurant ambience and the staffs are really great.<br/><br/>We are eagre to come back soon.<br/><br/>And a special thanks to Mr.Ganesh<br/>

Food was good no questions on it. When we checked they said only buffet excluding bamboo biryani and after few mins they are taking orders for a la carte for next table. <br/><br/>They missed my order for bamboo biryani I ordered and I was waiting and my friends already completed their buffet lunch. <br/>Needed to request bill twice and it took them more than 15mins<br/><br/>Customer service today was not good when compared to last week<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>

Awesome dishes and atmosphere, good service .<br/>Bamboo Biriyani was totally amazing. very pleasant to have dinner . Buffet for dinner had more number of dishes . I kindly request you to try going to Ambica empire hotel and enjoy .😀👍👍👍<br/><br/>#Ganesanvelu sir for good service #👍

The ambience of the place is really good and the food was not upto the mark and I am visiting ambica empire for the first time and services has to be improved

I recently hosted my daughter birthday party in Ambica Empire,Vadapalani and here is my feedback. To start with, the service was outstanding ... and Mr.Ganesh, the Manager really did a good job on taking care of my requests on specific Food Menu and the interior decorations made for the event lived up to present a perfect birthday party. The food was decent and nice. The Hotel delivered what it promised to me with no compromise. Definitely to be recommended....

Ambika empire - Royal palate restaurent ambience and food quality is good. Nice staff service. Worth for money. Recommending this place for family as well as for couples

Polite and kind service by Mr.Shankar.<br/>And food was so neat.. signature food about Bamboo was good. Ambience was in French type of hotel.. expect the good 3 star one

Bamboo biryani is there signature dish, it's great with 3 types of raithas, and Mr. SHANKAR he is extraordinary caring with Customers satisfaction he is really good in Hospitality, coming to fish Michi kebab it's fresh and awesome, and chicken lollipop with saucy also best , sorry for bad pics, Chennai best bamboo biryani with soup and curries. .

Iocation: it is easily accessible from forum mall and Vadapalani metro<br/><br/>Ambience: you will get royal feel and staff are very polite<br/><br/>Food: taste 4.5/5<br/> Cost 5/5<br/> You will have buffet option and ala carte also. We ordered bamboo biryani combo it’s very tasty and worth. <br/>

Came to grab a quick veg. lunch of soup, roti, dal & subzi but ended up eating a full veg buffet. Perfectly balanced lunch spread, nice tangy tomato soup, hot rotis, nice noodles, gravies & vegetables. Perfect dessert portions, a mini sweet shop! Highly recommended! Excellent service by Sankar, Divya & sweet master chef Madhavan! Thanks!

Best restaurant. I never expected this restaurant wil be this good. So happy and glad that we chose this place. The artwork was cool. Biriyani and chicken fried rice here were too good.

Excellent service and food. Nice ambience. Good place to visit with family. The buffet is well sorted. The staff are the most courteous and friendly

Courteous and friendly staffs specially Mr.shankar was very attentive and Some dishes were really too good like malabar chicken and murgh tikka.

This place is located in Ambica Empire Hotel. Nice and peaceful place. Good Ambience. Helpful staff. Mr.Johnson was very courteous. Thank you for his service.

Food was excellent and good hospitality ,environment and people receiving the guest was also great and we were guided by Sankar who was giving an excellent selection of food from menu

Johnson has been very good in advising the food to have . We had bamboo biryani, which was inclusive of many items.. He was very helpful & the service offered were too good with great hospitality.

The restaurant which is located in vadapalani is very gud. I enjoyed being there very calm, friendly staffs, service was good. The person who served us was jhonson, was very polite and friendly too.

We like the interior of the hotel and the food was awesome there were many varieties each one tastes so good and the service was excellent. we would like to visit it again @Sankar

Restaurant located inside ambica empire . Very old interiors . Not impressed . Service was rely good.<br/><br/>Mutton chukka- very hard pieces of mutton and taste wise also disappointing<br/><br/>Manchow soup- okok kind . Definitely can try once here<br/><br/>Fish manchurian- very well done . Pick of the lot.<br/><br/>Bamboo biryani- don't think they make it in bamboo. Feels like they stuff it inside after cooking. But taste wise was good. No complaints though Nothin special in it.<br/><br/>No choice then try this place

Food: 5/5<br/>Ambience: 5/5 (gives you palace feel)<br/>Staff: 5/5 ( Our server Mr Johnson, offered us a very good deal on food and also provided good service)<br/>We spent good 2 hours in the restaurant, plus restaurant accepts zomato gold

Wonderful evening , gud food and great service by Shankar and his team. Shankar was very helpful, prompt and polite when I enquired about the buffet details. The staff are extremely friendly and polite. They are making a lot of effort in giving personal attention to the customers . Excellent customer service. Thank you

The ambiance is amazing, the staff are very polite and friendly. The bamboo biryani (their signature dish) is really nice. The biryani is filling with good chunks of succulent meat. Must try

Came to ambica empire to eat their special bamboo biriyani. I must say it was great. It was nice and hot, well spiced, and to top it off they are not stingy with the meat. Ate to my hearts content, and being a big eater I was satisfied with 1 bamboo biriyani itself. I definitely recommend anyone to try the mutton bamboo biriyani at royal palate.

I visited this place last week. I liked this hotel very much. I'm impressed with the service of this hotel especially Mr. Sankar service was extraordinary. Bamboo Biriyani, varieties of chicken, juice & sweets was very tasty. Next time I'm surely visit this hotel. Thank u

Went there three days ago! Absolutely stunning ambience. The hospitality and services of staffs were too professional, enthusiastic and friendly. Especially Mr.Shankar who served for us was too friendly to us and helped us to select the perfect dishes. Moongil biriyani is a must try there. All other dishes were also awesome. The elegant ambience and the royal service makes the food very rich. Definitely a good visit been there. Menu is too unique. Quantity and quality of the foods were also compromising!

We eat a dinner on yesterday in this restraunt ,foods are really awesome and service on this restraunt by captain sankar is very impressive keep it continuously to achive and more good name ..

Yesterday i visited this place, hotel & service was excellent. First time i heard about Bamboo Biriyani and it was explained by Captain Sankar & his service was very good. I'm feeling proud for his service, i will definitely explain about this to my Friends. Thank u!

Last week I visited this place ,simply majestic. First time I heard about bamboo biriyani good stuff .buffet cost was better. good experience Mr. Ganesh the way he explained about bamboo it was excellent thanks for the manager on dice..

I visited the place last week ,it was surely worth of the BUZZ .the starters are good. Value for money excellent service . Good to enjoy with family ...<br/>

Nice place to chill ..they took care of children too...<br/>Awesome place to have a buffet with family ...<br/>Thanks to Mr.Ganesh,had a wonderful day<br/>with my family ..<br/>Planning for next visit ..see you soon<br/>##Royal palate team

This is the restaurant on the second floor of Ambica Empire at Vadapalani. As the name suggests, the place has a majestic look to it. This review is based on the breakfast I had from this place recently. They have a decent spread with a mix of South Indian and continental cuisines. Continental dishes were not as good as the South Indian dishes. Service was prompt.

Its open round the clock. Especially the bamboo biriyani is one fine recipe to try out here. Ambience and taste is good compared to other similar restaurants nearby. <br/>

This is a grand place. Everything is so Maharaja types. We went for buffet ( breakfast and lunch) and none of the items disappoint. Go have a hearty meal here.

I visited the place to check the moongil briyani out and it was surely worth the buzz they give you a 5 course meal which varies from a soup to a dessert to an ice cream the briyani is to die for mannn worth every penny you pay

Buffet cost was better starters of the items was very less and expectation of bamboo briyani is not reach up to level like smell of the briyani is not coming that munch and taste is less only ambience was very raffish experience.

excellent experience and delicious bamboo biryani we had it was a nice experience but ambience can be improved I visited with my family for.drink and dine.

Excellent food and a good service. Specially bamboo biryani. After a long gap of my visit to india. Made me happy 😊. Serving the biryani is in a different style.

bamboo biryani is served with an excellent taste, delicious food,with a high quality ,with a incredible service, perfect maintenance,24/7 good service

Royal Palate, surely name suggests what they offer.The Interiors of the restaurant are elegant, embellished with design touches from within the state with such royal ambience. The restaurant’s menu is voluminous. Bamboo biryani is probably the enticing food visuals which is why it came as no surprise that many diners were digging into platefuls of biryanis. While mutton biryani might be the first choice for many, bamboo biryani soaks well with chicken too. Biryani caters such fine range of flavours and spices for a sophisticated palates. The biryani rice is perfectly cooked with such unique cooking style and not missing out the authenticity of the dish. It's definitely a dish not to be missed for every biryani lovers and all. They've got the smattering dessert section but with oriental options.

Service is excellent & your spl bamboo briyani is awesome & also fish.. Thanks to shankar & syed who made my uncle {prabhu} birthday a spl one by their care in serving.. looking forward to come again.

Happened to taste food in this piece of heaven, awesome taste and experience, special credit to bamboo biriyani and an excellent service by Shankar and Syed dyan.

Managers Sandeep and Sankar Kumar assisted in delivering great food and service to a large group of fussy travellers who loved the food prepared by Chef Vijay and his team who catered to the needs and tastes of the group of 6 sisters and their friends who joined them. <br/>The ambiance was friendly - service was good, clean extensive choices of food for all meals and importantly made everyone feel comfortable and at home. High quality food with that feeling of being special and being at home. Highly recommend bamboo biryani, crab curry, fish curry. extensive dessert menu. Great food & service - staff and chef are the assets!

“The past becomes a texture, an ambiance becomes our present” This place surely deserves a medal for their royal ambiance. Been to this place many times still i was so curious to try Their new bamboo biriyani. They are only few little places in Chennai where we can get bamboo biriyani, make sure to put this place on the hit list, it’s not just an ordinary bamboo biriyani it’s even oil less. They haven’t used any oil for making the biriyani. So just hog much ever you can without worrying about oil.

It was a great place to eat.. ☺<br/>V had buffet an bamboo biryani was delicious with 3 varieties of raitha. 👍👍<br/>Service was awesome by manager Mr Sandeep.😊👌<br/>He was very helpful an supportive and fun filled person... <br/>

Royal Palate located in Ambica Empire sure does go well with its name, As Royal as it sounds.<br/><br/>The ambience was very royally set up with Antique decors and Paintings on the ceilings. Dining in a Bungalow like feel I must say.<br/><br/>Some of we foodies were hosted lunch here by the Management. <br/><br/>Quickly getting to the Food, I was not so surprised by the Buffet spread but what Excited me was The Bamboo Biriyani, That has recently been the talk in town.<br/><br/>On the buffet, They had,<br/><br/>Chicken Dum Biriyani | Honey Garlic fish | Hariyali Chicken Kebab | Vanjaram Fish | and rest veg I didn't care. :P <br/><br/>Not a big spread but everything they served was just decently good enough.Started with the starters, The Chicken Kebab was too good. Perfectly marinated and juicy chicken.The honey garlic fish was a perfect quick bite. The Vanjaram wasn't that great though. <br/>How can I Skip biriyani? Tried it, But didn't excite me much. I was still excited about The Bamboo Biriyani! <br/><br/>Tad Bit excitement kept growing as I noticed the bamboo stem approaching towards me. Huge blocks of Bamboo with Biriyani stuffed inside. It was an Art I must say. The way it was served was so amazing to watch. Steamy Biriyani falling off the bamboo.Ohh god! such a bliss. The aroma of biriyani took over me and the first spoon of it... Amazing. I did expect more of spices and Taste to it. Could have been a sure hit with more of Spices to it. <br/><br/>On the desserts section, they had the usual pastries, fruits and Indian sweets. Pastries were better than the usual though,<br/><br/>It was a fun dine interacting with the chef and the management I must say. Good service and Royal Ambiance to dine in.  <br/><br/>

Yesterdays lunch was awesome especially the kodi pulov turned my day on.. Great dish...! Also the different kinds of biriyani was good.. Had the best experience with my friends... Will be back again 😍

<br/>Delicious bamboo briyani..Today tried the mutton its tender to eat with reasonable price.The waiters so friendly..With smiley face..!!<br/>Will come againTq

Yesterday I visit royal palate restaurant in ambica empire with my friend,we order singnature bamboo mutton biryani it’s take time like 10 to 15 min,but it’s fine#briyani was so flavorful and tasty mutton so tender#price reasonable,clean and hygiene wise they maintain good standards,excellent service so kind#good ambiance🤗🤗

Food hunting satisfied. <br/>#bamboobriyani<br/>Awesome.. <br/>Food was great<br/>Service was fast and excellent... <br/>Felt like family... Bamboo Biryani "Taste & See "<br/>Should try bamboo Amazing.. <br/>Price very reasonable.... <br/><br/><br/>#bamboobiryanitastensee

Must try!!! Bamboo Biriyani!!! One of the least calorific biriyani you can find. It was flavourful, fresh and aromatic. Have it with the three types of raitha and the gravy of the day (Chicken/Mutton) and you honestly don’t need to have anything else here.

Went to taste the most talked bamboo Briyani in town... The waiters are very fast approach me and get my order....and within minutes the they serve the food and it's really hot...also the Briyani was superb good....u really can njoy it... especially their service are really good....the waiters are keep on approach us for a assist.... So diz is the best place to hv a tasty bambooBriyani....

At last i have tasted bamboo briyani..<br/>Superb delicious...I loved it.<br/>I just make order and they deliver on time..<br/>Awesome service..<br/>Thank you so much Bamboo Briyani "Taste & See for the super yummy food<br/><br/>Enjoy my food #Hot# <br/>Just like that

Service was great, food was magnificent, well prepared served, beautifully, great personalities, great feedback for south Africa and recommendation, many thanks to, manager sandeep, chef Vijay,f&b manager syed and captain shankar. Hotel will be highly recommend to family and friends.

It's a great place to stay and the service is out standing <br/>Food is delicious and restaurant manager Mr Sandeep is a great guy good atatiude and very helpful and the chef Mr vijay is the best <br/>What a great team 👍👍👍👍👍

We were here for Lunch last week♥Easy to locate.<br/>True to it's name it gives yu The Royal feel.!The architecture and ambience is so good😌❤<br/>This is place specialized for its Bamboo biryani.<br/>We tried quite a few dishes.Starting with Soup which was jus normal😊,Panner was Good😋, Chicken Lolipop was a bit salty🙄,Mutton and Fish were good too😊<br/>Coming to their signature Bamboo biryani.! It was Okayish as the flavour of the bamboo was not so strong.When i askd abt this to the chef i was told that the biryani must be kept in the bamboo for about more than 45 mins in total including cooking which would give more flavour.<br/>So,make sure yu order your bamboo biryani as soon as yu enter😂♥And yes they do have Veg,Chicken and mutton varieties🙋<br/>Finally..! The desserts.! They had jangiri,bhadshah,payasam,pastries,and there's one special dessert which they keep changing everyday..!That was a good one😋<br/>Service was too good😌They build up a good relationship with their customers which is appreciable.!😀

I went there for a lunch only for their bamboo biryani 😍 The mutton biryani was good 😍 and the chicken was okayish. 😊 They have four types of raita which was impressive 😍 <br/>We had chicken soup at the first and followed by the starters. The soup was good. I totally loved the honey dip fish which was too good 😍❤ The seer fish was not up to the mark.<br/>The other starters were also good. They also have biryani in their buffet.. 😍 I loved their buffet ❤<br/>And my favourite is the dessert part 😍 which is a hit. They have fruits, cakes, especially paayasam 😍 and even gulab jamun in the list. ❤ <br/>Coming to the Ambiance 😍 Omg! It was amazing ❤ And the Service was great! They make sure everything was served hot and appetite. 😊❤ <br/>Overall It was a nice meal 😊❤

I went there for lunch 😋buffet last Saturday they had a royal ambience ⚜️ as by the name.<br/>•They served 2 types of chicken soup one was bit spicy and the other was normal •Then they served normal starters chicken 🐥kebab🍢 honey dip🍯 fish 🐟 chicken 🍗 lollipop they were normal with medium spiciness 🌶nothing new🙅🏻<br/>💟The best thing was their honey dip 🍯fish 🐟which was too good 😊 💟<br/>•Then they served a seer fish 🐟 which was salty 🙊and wasn't good though 🙅🏻•Then tried their Bamboo 🎋Biriyani (mutton) served with 4 types of raita the quantity was filling but the biriyani was okayish 🙂 the dessert was actually good they had jangiri payasam 2 types of cake then a apple pie crumble and fruit salads 🍉🍎🥝 overall they served an average food . 😇

This is located in a prime location and hence locating this place should be easy. I was there to try their lunch buffet last Saturday and have to say, the restaurant was just beautiful and elegant. They had wide variety spread, nothing new and special. Just the normal dishes that we are used to see. I felt the buffet was sligh overpriced for what it has to offer. <br/>However, I really wanted to try their Mutton Bamboo biryani (Rs. 600) and it came with 4 different type of raithas; it was the best. Quantity was sufficient enough for a biryani lover.

We are very much happy about food and service and ambience really amazing <br/>Specially bamboo biriyani served along with kababs and curry and rates are very reasonable we are very regular to hotel ambica empire tnx Dyan 5

I went to the Royal Palate for breakfast. Their breakfast buffet had a limited number of items in my opinion (I ruled out all the South Indian food on it as I’d been having it for the past couple of days.) <br/>Their service was poor- waiters had to be given repeated instructions. The taste was just alright and the bakery items were rather stale.

This restaurant serves buffet. We all know that. But, you must also know that they serve best sandwiches. It is very delicious. Nevertheless, European delight column is worthy try. If you think you had enough, there is always few deserts which will provide irony of taste. It's mouthwatering and appetizing. <br/>Good one to take your entire family. Am sure they will be thankful for the treat.

We decided for a buffet and after too much of discussion and search in zomoto we decided to enter into Ambika empire. <br/><br/>First thing is the price is wrong what mentioned in zomoto. They are charging 850+tax but after discussion they gave a offer and made it as INR 900 net.<br/><br/>That was first shocker at entry and happy for their immediate offer. They are not charging for the kids(we went with 2 kids aged 5 and 2 yrs). <br/><br/>The ambiance is really good and it was almost full on the Sunday lunch.<br/><br/>Even though it's buffet they have more man power who are ready to serve you on table. We felt too happy with their service.<br/><br/>Coming to food less options on non veg but taste was so good. We loved their crispy fish. It was the greatest one.<br/><br/>Their chicken was also yummy and mutton gravy and biriyani was awesome.<br/><br/>On the veg side they were serving around 18 dishes and I felt the chef is super good on veg than non veg.<br/><br/>So superb dishes in veg and they are serving raitha on bamboo. That was so cool and we loved it. <br/><br/>Overall it was a good experience except the shock of change in price. <br/>

Been here twice for dinner overall rating is OK not bad <br/>Posted only desserts pics it is ambika empire restaurant name is royal palate fish starter and crab main course must try

This hotel was very close to our work place & I've bookmarked this for a long time. 3 of us decided to meet up for buffet dinner on a weekday! <br/><br/>Variety of food : Not so vast, but was satisfying!<br/><br/>Quality : taste - most of it were bland (biriyani - spice less & cold , noodles - frankly speaking, dint have any taste at al except for maida, chicken masala - had very strong masala odour and was too spicy, Soups - were good, Starters - were all Ice cold! <br/>And Desserts - Disaster (except the payasam) the pastries all were so hard, kaaju katli had a putrid smell which we complained to the incharge who went inside saying '2 minutes, I'll check out' and never got back! :/ <br/><br/>Service - was quick & they were all courteous except when we asked about the kaaju katli :/ <br/><br/>VFM - Average<br/><br/>For the location in which they are, their ambience, the royal themed interiors, if they work on the quality of food, would definitely become a hit! Its just a one time visit place based on my experience here! ✌🏻<br/>

Situated in a swanky and luxurious hotel, this place disappoints to the core. The effort to make north Indian food went horribly wrong. Even the south Indian dishes were not upto the mark. For the people staying in this property this place does nothing good. Food is very very spicy and the north Indian food prepared here is no where close to the food we eat in north india, even not close to home food. <br/><br/>A lot and lot of improvement is required. Even the buffet is very repetitive and I stayed here for 2 weeks but did not find any signs of effort being put in by the hotel to improve the food quality.

DANGER. DANGER. You'll have absolutely nothing for the money you pay. Please, don't try this place. I'm giving this 1 star only for the mousse cake they had and for their service.

We went to this place two weeks back, we were in a pack of 10-15. Where we actually opted for a la carte. We selected this place since it had a resto bar setup but this is the worst resto bar and elite restaurant I went to the service was really the worst and the food was decent but was too late on the delivery. Please the management work on people skills. All the best.

Wonderful place to fill your belly with the wide spread of the Buffet!! Good service, good food!! Nice experience Over all!! Will definitely recommend this!!

Nice service although the food is not appealing ambience also is good overall worth for its price.will visit again,hope the management makes some changes with the taste of food

Worst food poor service I never seen such kind of worst food in buffet payed nearly 700 INR to eat 2 dosa. If you want to eat expired desert pls visit royal plate.

I took my wife for her birthday lunch to this place yesterday. The Royal palate in the Ambica empire is supposed to be located on the 2nd floor but as there was a function happening on that floor it was shifted to the ground floor near the lobby. Hence the make shift place was smaller with greenish lighting, loud television that was running Goundamani Senthil comedy from the Aditya TV and ambiguous air conditioning which resulted in the opening of flood gates in my sweat pores halfway into the lunch. Along with it the intrusive staff to boot, the lunch which could have turned out in to a distaster was redeemed by the high quality and tasty wide buffet spread.<br/><br/> Soup, 4 salads, 4 starters, bread basket, mutton and veg briyani, noodles, 6 gravies, a huge dessert counter with 6-7 desserts and ice cream make it a pretty huge buffet. Almost all the items were good. Among these I liked crumb fried fish, chicken kebab, mutton briyani the best. Each and every item in the desserts counter was excellent. The kozhi rasam which was served for soup was disappointing. It was very thick high on masala which overwhelming that it almost looked and tasted like a half made non veg gravy before the meat is added to it. <br/><br/>At Rs750 per person ( though it was mentioned Rs700 here at Zomato for Sunday lunch buffet they charged Rs750) with wide variety spread and good tasty food, the lunch buffet here was mouthsful.

The name dosent suite restaurant<br/>No waiter will serve you as they are busy in watching TV or having small talks.<br/>The food is not hot nt even atleast warm it is at room temperature including starters<br/>I see others atleast had good deserts I didn't find any desert other than payasam<br/>The gravy had more water, dosent have consistency. photo enclosed you see water in gravy<br/>I feel road side shop is better than this<br/>Not even worth atleast a penny I paid<br/>My suggestion pls skip this restaurant

Had breakfast with my gudold frnd(met him after 8 years)...... all tables were occupied& v got a table after 15 mins.....No one came to clean the table & after lost the patience v have started eating d buffet.....not much varieties....but those few dishes were awesome....THINAI DOSA & CARROT CHUTNEY was Woooow ......Finally d bearer came & served water & he apologized....anyways the food was nice.....service need much much more improvement.........

Royal Palate - Only Desserts were a Royal Treat!<br/><br/>The Ambience and service is like any other star Hotels in town - means - it's Good. I enjoyed the every bite of delicious choco cakes, jamuns, Fruits. I didnt like the Briyanis and starters as much as I enjoyed Desserts. It was an sudden visit. The Smiling face of the hotel people is a plus that guests dont feel out of the world. <br/>Good! Thank You!

A not so great buffet but definitely not an worse one... The interiors are done with an extra care and it is nice nd cozy. The staffs are courteous and friendly but not such a great attitude. The soup we had was hot and sour which had watery texture. The chilli fish and haryali kabab was good. Rosemary chicken did not make any impact on our tatse buds.<br/> The gravy was average methi chicken which was OK with naan. The aachi meen kolambhu was lik sweet kara kolambhu. The mutton bri was salty nd tasteless. I tatsed all. The dishes in buffet it was very mediocre. The desserts was big let down there was just a single flavour ice cream and 4 sweets. Over all an average experience feel lik abs buffet is the best buffet in town.

The buffet here is one of the worthy buffet available in the city.The taste of the items are very good.The items available in the buffet is also more.The restaurant is very dark inside.Good place for nice food.

Tried the buffet dinner at the place...overall a good experience but didnt feel it was worth the price paid<br/><br/>Food - 3/5<br/>Ambience - 5/5<br/>Service - 3/5<br/><br/>Can be tried once

This is the second time in a week finding a same situation..While entering itself could smell... For a sandwich there literally took 50 min to deliver .. And the Buffy they offer totally waste... Uncooked rice and the ingredients were totally not up to the mark. I would rate in negative for this restaurant....

Tastes ok. Reasonably priced. Try Mid night buffet.

I visited this restaurant a while back on valentines day. So this review is only about my experience when I visited. I don't know how the restaurant has fared since then. I went there for a friend's birthday treat. We were a group of 15 give or take. <br/> As we entered the lobby of the hotel, we were warmly greeted and shown to the tiny but decorated elevator. It opened to a corridor with a banquet hall in one side and a the royal palate in the otherside. We honestly did not know which was which at first. There was no one at the entrance to invite us or allot us our tables. The almost empty buffet spread at the entrance of the restaurant was not very inviting. We made our way into the restaurant , only to find it very crowded,children running around, full of noise, a lady and a man singing with loud music blasting. Even though we came on time they made us wait for a good 30 minutes. Even after we were seated , we were made to wait for the starters. Even when they served it we all hardly got one piece each. Tired of waiting we moved on to the main course, and found everything to be almost empty.The refilling was very slow. Briyani which was served was good. The chicken and fish dishes were the only ones refilled regularly. They were all very good. Even though the ambiance and service was a big let down, when it came to the food, everything was very good. I particularly remember the orange juice tasting really delish. <br/> We planned to cut the cake for our friend and they gave us a sponge cake for free and played happy birthday song also. Cake was below average. Price was also okay considering they gave us a small discount on the total bill amount. <br/> Food - 4<br/> Service - 2.5<br/> Ambiance - 2<br/> Price -3<br/> Tummy Happy Factor - 3.5

The ambiance was not even avg, service was poor, mock tail s good, nothing spl no good lighting
