Review Barbeque Destination - Pune

Sourav Das Adhikary
Amazing experience... The food is really delicious... Went for buffet...the ambience is pretty good with light music...staff service is also good... Served with a welcome drink which was soothing...starters contains crispy veg, paneer tikka, sweet potato, barbeque pineapples (not really great), chicken wings, chicken tikka, prawns and fish..the main course was also good except the paneer dish... deserts were ice cream(havmour chocolate and vanilla), kheer, gulab jamun, fresh cut fruits, sweet samosa and besan laddu.

We went for a sunday dinner buffet. A very good spread of all the items. Starting from the starters- chicken 2 varieties, mushroom, prwans, paneer, veg fry, alo tikki, fish tikka, pineapple roast, chicken wings. Each and every items were very well made. Apart from that they serve you with soup and lemon juice. Main course had a variety. Another attraction was the dessert spread- sewai, nariyal mithai, lavang latika, dahi vada, kulfi- kesar, pista and strawberry, gulab jamun and another type of sweet whose name i don't recall. The staff were Cordial and very well behaved. Reasonably priced. Also, on sat- sun, there is live music that is another attraction. Overall very good ambience along with good food at a good price.

It's quit a nice place, we were there of our office party and it was lot of fun. the food was good it was a unlimited buffet so there were ice creams, kababs, biryani and hell lot of things the ambiance was good and the staff was very professional. its in the phoenix mall so its located at the prime location of city its worth spending time and money there

Best restaurant for barbeque. In cheap rate great taste. Beautiful interior. Good staff. Different items. Veg. Non- veg.

The Grand Buffet as the name suggests their must be something Grand.... but actually its not that Grand but can say its great for the prize range it provides... For starters if you are indo-chinese fan you will love the Chicken Manchurian, and if you are fan of the mugal kind if kebab fan then their are quite a options available like Chicken Galuti kebab or the Sheak kebab... For main course for me it was not that great but their after come most favourite for us the Desert... They got quite a variety of it like the Hot Gulab Jamun with chilling Ice cream thats the best, they got the kheer and some other..!!!!

This is cool nice place for buffet dine. You can surely consider this place for it's ambiance and location. Food test is also good. We visited here for team lunch. This place is at Phoenix market city hence near by kalyani nagar , KP, yerwada, commerce zone and kharadi.

I share my experience of yesterday. TGF of Phoenix is a great place with a nice aura. The interior was well furnished. Best hospitality. The people over there were friendly especially the one I guess him to be the coordinator guided us well. They served us well. Although as compared to TGF ,spring city mall I guess yesterday the varieties of food were less and the taste and flavor of particular items were not up to the mark but since that was just previous day story and all of my past experiences has been good I ignored yesterday. So if you think of going there go for it. Everything is great over there.This is just my yesterday experience I surely suggest you to go over there.

Be aware that this restaurant is located at east court and not at main mall. This is newly opened restaurant with good Ambiance. I bought coupons from Little app. I am vegetarian and they had around 7 options in veg. Food quality was great and I really liked buffet options , all items were delicious and food was better than Barbeque Nation.
Sunil Kalbhor

Aditi Ghorpade
We had gone here for team dinner and we enjoyed it They have live barbacue set on each table Their buffet has many good options and the deserts were my favourate.. Specially like to mention their gulabjamuns, they were soft, perfectly sweet and yummy...
Mohammad Ali Aba
Nice Place ,Good Food , Enjoyed , Service is very fast , even the music made it more smooth to go with the atmosphere around. kudos, must visit place for the food lovers
DJ TECH
Food quality was fantastic. Starters was very good, Buffet was also good but need some improvement on buffet choices. Staff was very polite and helpful. Live music was the fantastic.. Recommend for those who loves to eat with family, friends or your love once.. Overall it was good experience, pocket friendly (you can also buy coupons from nearby). You can also call them and book a table (recommended).
Akarsh Sharma
(Late Post) Absolutely pathetic. Starters and desserts were average. Everything else was terrible. The food was literally stinking from a distance. Everything was cold and tasted really bad. Most dishes seemed like they were at least 2-3 days old. Staff refuses to accept that anything is wrong. When we told a waiter to call the manager, he came back saying 'the manager is having dinner and that's why he can't talk to you now'. After paying the bill, we insisted on talking to the manager again and finally he came and acted as if everything is normal and we are making a big deal unnecessarily. He even went and inspected the stale food but said it is fine. Later on, I tried to contact the management from the website and the email ID mentioned there but no response from them. Avoid at all costs.
Pradeep Shankar
Went there for a farewell dinner. The tandoor was not fitting on the table we sat. Shifted to next table, then a/c was not working. Starters were below average. At around 10pm when we moved for main course 50% of items were empty. When we requested for them they said it will take 10 min. We came back to our seat and tried to find something after 20 min but the dishes had still not arrived on table. Just had gulab jamun made out gits packet, which was the only dessert left at 10.25pm.
@Loyal_Fodiee
Will never visit again. Had a Very bad experience. At last what manager said was SORRY, Which is not of any use after spoiling our family time. Visited this place around Feb this year
Shashank Sharma
Had very high expectations but it didn't delivered else it sure deserves 4 stars, one of very few buffet restaurant having tasty main course there's was not much in dessert and service was not as expected but it's a good restaurant do visit if you want to.
Suhas Gadekar
Pathetic experience<br/><br/>Refused entry at 3pm sharp as we came from more than 30km for food and they said we closed at 3pm very upset with behaviors Of staff they first ask us how many of you and they ww are closed plz leave. Will never visit again.
Mithun Sankpal
Today's experience... Not up to the mark. When we plan for some celebration and the food does not fulfill the expectations - then it is not worth.<br/>We are here now to celebrate our wedding anniversary and disappointed from starting itself.<br/>Starters : Fish is not available, prawns are so much in love with sticks and not ready to come into the plates 😂.. when we asked about some fresh things - answer was "the things are as it is and same quality will be there".<br/>Fish might be on leave for election result.<br/>** Attached snaps of prawns - not a single prawns we could eat properly as it was breaking into pieces (was not fresh)
Tanya Roy
The service is amazing. Ram and the manager sarat has been extremely polite and humble. The food is good as well. Overall it has been a nice experience.
Harvinder Singh
Delicious food. Very good service. Value for money.Ram is very supportive and customer service centric. Sharat also helpful in billing process.
Rupali Mishra
I went there on sunday for lunch buffet and the food quality is very low. Not much options in food.<br/>Overall i would say bad service, low quality food, less options to choose.
Sumit Lakkewar
Not a great experience :(<br/>What happened to this place, I have been here 2-3 time before. It was much better.<br/>Starters: ok, lacks variety<br/>Deserts: not fresh<br/>Main course: OK (everything was cold, I had also complianed about this)<br/><br/>This place lacks variety for sure, they should improve on their menu, and service. Ambience and taste is good.<br/><br/>
Nisha Thanooj Bangera
Service was good #food was good in taste #value for money<br/>Staff were really good and polite.<br/>Deserts could have been better but main course was really good<br/>Manager had well managed it
Joshua Anthony
Service was excellent. Enjoyed , food was good, lots of variety in starters and main course.<br/>Manager Mr sarat was very friendly and good ..........staff is excellent.
Ankit Vinod Badoni
<br/>It is a Dhaba version of BBQ Nation.<br/>Bad food with very less variety. They use colours, lot of oil, preparation is poor. Menu is substandard. They didn’t even have any soft drink/ mock tail/cocktail on a hot Saturday afternoon, except for their complimentary lemon water. The chat corner (an effort to copy BBQ nation) has a very unhygienic look. Avoid this place...
Monali More-Asavari Dalvi
Looks good, from outside, otherwise pathetic service. Food was not so yumm, very less items in menu n desert having very low items. For live counter of roti we have to ask for 3 times, for water we have to ask waiters 5 or 6 times. I can't understans why they are paying their waiters, we were calling them, but they were only passing by us not even serving us a single glass of water.<br/>Noodles were great, n gulabjamun too. Food is ok, but few staff is very very slow at their work.
Harpreet Kaur Tezy
Most pathetic service. The staff is extremely dull and slow. Least interested in giving service. We had to keep asking them for every thing that we needed. Even for clearance we had to every time ask them for it. Till the end they did not even serve the chapatis. We eventually had to leave the place as the place was unsatisfactory. Would never recommend others to ever visit.
Mehwaz Khan
Very Bad experience Ambience was very poor & dull food was not up to the mark very limited options buffet was cold chicken seekh had besan in it and for dessert they had few stale sweets from some sweet shop 1 Star is also too much to rate this restaurant... Very poor Experience
Parvez Ahamad
Food is good and economical.... instead of charging per head they charge for food consumed hence kids are excluded because they don't eat much..... ambience is good and spacious.... they need to work on there maincourse a bit need to bring in a variety because all the three times I have visited this place the maincourse was same.... over all in place like viman nagar this place is value for money
Manisha Sawant
The food quality was good....the service is extremely fantastic!!!!! The atmosphere over here is nice and the music played are wisely chosen. It's a good place to visit with family members.<br/>Manager Mr sarat is very polite and the service provided by him is good.
Brian Charan
Over and above it was fantastic experience. The food was so good and delicious. Service was at a par. Most satisfied and over joyed having food at the grand buffet. I appreciate manager Sarat papal the party was handled with proper planning and smoothly. Also the staff was so good. Loved it....

Veg is not at all good. Service is late and food is not up to the mark.waste of money. Please don't go to this place. Better to have food outside
Subhrat Pattanayak
The staff was very friendly and the service was amazing... Worth of money... There are so many dishes for veg also... Will love to visit again and again... The manager Mr. Sarat and staff Rama was very nice and amazing... they treated us in a very gentle manner and made the service non stop for starter.
Shubham Sharma
Lovely ambience, great food, good service.<br/>Starters were good except pineapple and mushroom.<br/>Hakka noodles was not that good.<br/>Desserts were good but expected more flavors of ice cream.

Punekarbroz
When you can't decide what to eat from the menu🤔 then you prefer to eat everything. The Grand buffet restaurant 🍨🍕🥪🍞🍫was this time our stop, which sells great buffet in which veg food✌️ for just at 💸rupees 700 .The food was damn amazing and delicious specially the Dahi bhalla🍧, Karan ji 🥟and Gulab jamun🍡. Even the manchurian🍜, matar paneer 🍲and we can see each and every dish was quite amazing the ambience was quite good and so was the bbq being served there.<br/>✌️we will definitely advise you all to visit once if you are looking for a nice full menu treat.😎<br/>#punekarbroz
Kishan Vishwakarma
Never go to this restaurant...only u go when u want to taste raw prawns, uncooked chicken tikka kebab, uncooked mutton kebab...this restaurant is located in East court, Viman Nagar..from the gate u will expect that it gonna be a good restaurant but once u sit and realise its the worst decision u have taken by going inside..<br/><br/>We are three and went for dinner...not much variety in starters..the limited starters have worst taste...also the main course is pathetic...<br/><br/>Hand wash section is like u came to a dhaba...where mirror has lots of dhabbba on it...<br/><br/>This restaurant claim that cheapest barbeque..but I realised I wasted the whole money...<br/><br/>Never go !!!!!
Apurv Bhatwadekar
The food is not good starter paneer didn't had salt in it prawns coming on skewers were already burnt. They had corn tikki but the corn was missing. Mutton rogan josh had rubbery mutton. Butter Naan was burnt and crispy which it is not supposed to be. Paneer main course was hard and rubber paneer not fresh. They service a welcome drink which is supposed to be chilled little fizzy but was all flat n warm. Staff was drinking welcome drink in front of us. Menu was blur not properly printed. Worst part they presented a menu but the dishes were not available and staff says the menu is of different event. Which restaurant does this.. Staff didn't had menu knowledge. Food refelling wasn't proper as in fresh fruit i got to eat grapes just once and rest it was all watermelon.. Food platter was dirty. Tables were bit sticky. Staff wasn't professional. They had to ask to clear plates get starters refilled. It was my friends birthday party but didn't enjoy well. I do not recommend going to this restaurant.
Christine Hazel Raj
We were a total of 13 people who wanted to have lunch at the Grand Buffet on Friday March 8, 2019 but unfortunately the parking attendant at East Court Phoenix did not allow us to park stating the parking lot was full. This is just a feedback for you to please figure out a way to ensure your customers are not turned away and you lose business.
Rahul Pawade
This place is super grand shit! You eat anything ull find this place is way below standards of any other normal restaurant. Don't waste your money at all
Saurabh Mohod
It was very nice to dine with mr.ram<br/>The food was great and especially the starters were pure delight to have and the excuisite manner made us fond of this restaurant !
Pradnya Pardeshi
Superb food quality as well as service. Strongly recommend for others who loves food n parties. Very gorgeous ambience. Mr Umesh and Mr Sarat (Manager) are very cooperatively and well mannered staff.
Rutvik N
Heard this place is awesome for food lovers and definitely, the place is a foodie heaven....not to mention the Zeus of barbeques...<br/>Manager Mr. Sarat was definitely a hospitable guy.....a d yeah...an awesome dude...
Chaitanya Singh
They are deteriorating day by day. A year back they had some variety in starters and desserts. This time around they were less in numbers that too just few of them palatable. Main course was ok taste wise but had pathetic presentation. Next time around if u have hunger pangs better go to Phoenix food court. Totally waste of money and time. We left the buffet in 30 min with lots of disappointment.
Lorris Simon
I went to The Grand Buffet after buying a Dineout coupon during their 50% off food fest. When I and my girlfriend sat at a table the receptionist informed the service boy that we're from Dineout. I should have got my clue there itself.<br/>I had bought the coupons for a non-veg buffet. We were only offered non-veg starters - Oily Basa fish fry, Chicken Wings, Prawns and the standard Chicken starter. They kept 4-5 skewers of the starters at the table. I could see only 3 service boys for the entire area. Once we finished off the 4-5 skewers, we literally had to ask the service boy for more. I had to ask 2-3 times and wait 5-10 minimum each time to get more starters. When I asked for veg starters, I was told that this is it. Only the 4 starters that were served already. The chicken and prawns was chewy and dry. There was hardly any flavour to it.<br/>The taste of the Chicken Wings and fish fry was okay/decent given the discount I had got.<br/><br/>Chicken manchow soup had very chewy chicken in it. The chicken was all suspended in the soup in small thread like pieces. It looked as if it were someone's vomit. There were no spoons for soup on the counter.<br/><br/>Main course had North Indian veg and non veg, veg noodles, paneer curry and paneer Schezwan. Mutton was good. I didn't try crab curry. Dahi wada was good.<br/><br/>Desserts had gulab jamun, vanilla and chocolate ice-cream, very oily Shahi tukda, kulfi, water melon, musk melon and bitter sour rotten like carrot kheer. Chocolate ice-cream, kulfi and the fruits were the good part.<br/><br/>All in all a very average place if you consider the service. I would rate the place as below:<br/><br/>Food: 2<br/>Service: 2<br/>Ambience: 2.5 (looks too dark and gloomy to enjoy food)<br/><br/>TLDR: Worst buffet food and service out there! Avoid at all costs even if they're offering discounts as you will not be offered anything worthy to eat.
Sambit Mishra
I met Mr. Ram over there. His service was really appreciate. Ambience was average ... Staff interaction was good... Food quality is good... But it can be better... Met Mr Sharat , the manager, for official events. He offered me certain discounts... Feeling 😀😀😀
Paromita Sanyal
Captain Ram and Manager Sarat (Great), service and food was too good...staff is equally friendly and helpful. Had a good time here. Would be visiting soon to enjoy the food and the ambience .
Parul Chaudhary
Very good experience for lunch menu, however a little disappointing for dinner. <br/>While for good barbecue we all prepare other places grand buffet is pocket friendly with prices now being increased it should ensure they increase variety with non bbq snacks also for both lunch and dinner! Infact for dinner there shall be more of evening snacks and serve people better
Vijay Halijole
mr Ram thank you soo much........good service..good man ..i am soo happy your service......gopd food ..good test. thank you manager mr sarat ... i am soo happy ...thank you all ...
Sushanta Swain
Mr. Ram &His Manager (sarat).. Nice person. Both.. Have good.. Knowledge in food.. Both good communication... If u visit.. Grand buffet.. Surely.. Meet him.

Prithveeraj Bhosale
I have attended buffet on Valentine's day with my family. I shall rate the hotel on following points.<br/>Ambience: Ambience is good. Not so exciting.<br/>I wondered about wash basin there os only one for entire hall. Basin is not even clean. It's wet around basin. Mirror is also stained. Kindly change it. It making all look bad.<br/>Food: food is very good. Limited items but tasty.<br/>Service: It's good staff is very friendly.<br/>Cost: As compared to others it's very low cost.<br/>Verdict: if you want good buffet at lower cost this is best option<br/>
Anand Singh
Food of very good quality;matching quality service with very courteous staff.On time great buffet service at an affordable cost.We were served by service boy Mr Pawan and he served us really well.Also worth mentioning is restaurant manager Mr Sarat all round managing skills.He was constantly in touch with us and all other guests and making us comfortable with quick service.
Pradeep P
I had veg buffet. Food is really good. Good number of varieties at the price point. Place could be little spacious. I liked mushroom tikka. Desserts are very good.
Akash Jadhav
Total waste of money and time I will prefer bbq nation or AB's bbq instead of this. I have tried all of three so.<br/>Menu is not upto the mark.
Bharti Pandita
The service was OK, need more variety in vegetarian stuff, rest taste was gud in veg bt not too good in non veg category. We're served well especially by Prabhat.
Dilip Sonar

Swaroop
Very good food, Pawan waiter was really good his service is commendable and shall be appreciated , I liked the crab curry the serve and also many amazing bbq’s ... I love to visit this place and I’m satisfied every time I visit the restaurant....
Tilak Sood
Visited second time and find it be good and full Paisa vasool.Liked snacks chicken Tikka,Fish, pineapple, chicken wings etc.. Main course Mutton is just out of the world, Biryani is nice..Frankly I got so much fill after snacks that tried only these two main course, Coming to sweets they have all exclusive sweets, not too much overload like pudding and all, they had Ghujia, gulab jamun, ice cream, fruit salad and kheer, shahi tukda.All were worthy and authentic Indian touch in that. if you are looking for pastry, pudding and etc then this sweet spread does not have that. And they guy who served Ram was very pleasant and nice.
Swapnil
Service was not at all good.. food variety was also not there.. Food quality was also not good..Hygiene was also not maintained.. No proper management..
Tejashree Ingale
Amazing food...good ambiance...amazing service ( Mr. Ram and Team). If you are here..please try Mustard fish tikka and chicken wings for starters.
Shabir Walikar

Muralidharan Radhakrishnan
Food was great and nice ambience for family. Raam (waiter) was really great at his service and suggest this place right for Non-veg and Vegetarians.<br/>
Shrihari Shastry
Reached at 12.30pm to find the place empty. Buffet was not laid out. It took them 15 mins to serve the first few starters. It did not seem good. Not much progress over the next 15mins that is when we decided to give up and leave.
Parinaz Masalawala

Celina Adhav
Must visit this place, this place was quite clean,<br/>Food was quite tasty.<br/>Food 4.5/5<br/>Ambience 4/5<br/>Staff 4.5/5<br/>Must taste mashroom main course , naan , mutton gravy, as well as Dhai wada , prawns were really fresh and tasty , soup was slightly spicy but really tasty.<br/>rest all was also quite good . Over all happy this place service by all the staff especially P.Kumar was good and quite helpful
Sourav Das Adhikary
Amazing experience... The food is really delicious... Went for buffet...the ambience is pretty good with light music...staff service is also good... Served with a welcome drink which was soothing...starters contains crispy veg, paneer tikka, sweet potato, barbeque pineapples (not really great), chicken wings, chicken tikka, prawns and fish..the main course was also good except the paneer dish... deserts were ice cream(havmour chocolate and vanilla), kheer, gulab jamun, fresh cut fruits, sweet samosa and besan laddu.<br/><br/>Suggestion: it would be better to have kulfis rather than normal ice creams.

Once you get a place to sit in the restaurant, your entire experience transforms into a magical one! The moment a waiter approaches your table, you find yourself in food heaven. The wondrous gastronomic journey begins with 3 coveted words by the waiter - Veg or Non-Veg? And that's all that you need to answer! Its like something that we've grown up watching on The Flintstones! The only thing you have to ensure before entering the restaurant outlet, is that you're not watching your diet! The service is quick and hence the waiting period is almost nil. By the end of this spiritually gastronomic experience, you find yourself invariably loosening your belt buckle!
Garima Singh
Everything was fantastic. All food was very test, even service was so fast specailly Staff Prabhat.<br/>Ambiance was also nice. There was a rush even on Monday night.
Ganesh Gadakh
Nice Service, Very Polite Staff person Pravat Personally he is asking what you want, thanks Pravat for his work keep it up, nice taste, surely visit next time, thanks a lot.
Dhruv Deshpande
This is the first time I visited The Grand Buffet. Kudos on the ambience and instrumental Bollywood tracks playing. The service was a little slow, the staff took their time to provide fresh plates and water.<br/>We went for a non veg menu and the barbecue grill was very well made. The highlight was the crispy prawns.<br/>From the main course, the food was average. The salads were made very well though. The dessert consisted of Shahi toast (extremely tasty), gulab jamun (decent), kheer (okayish)<br/>
Poonam Vashisht
Food variety was good but need to add more to veg starters.<br/>Soup: awesome taste.<br/>Salad and main course : variety and taste was good enough<br/><br/>Staff: Snr stwart pravat and Snr captain ram<br/>These staff provided home like service and we're very polite in serving and food serving. Happy with their efforts.
Anubhav Bill
Food served was really good and value for money. Dine here without a second thought. Senior steward Pravat gave exceptionally good service. Thanks a lot for special treatment.

Prachi Soni
Good Food and Great Ambience and excellent service by Captain Ram and Stewart Pravat! Also washroom needs to be kept inside the restaurant rather than going out in the premises.<br/><br/>
Roshan
Pathetic service. Worst food. Tasteless. Cheap quality. No variety. Open loot. Not worth a penny. DO NOT VISIT. VISIT AT YOUR OWN RISK. Hopeless. Scopeless.
Sana Sayed
Awesome food, lots of barbeque staters and desserts. Loved the food. Great place. Excellent service. Excellent Restaurant Staff. Manager was very helpful and good.
Anshita Shukla
Amazing food and good service friendly staff and also reasonable price with lot of varieties in main cours. Good experience...........try their soft drinks this is my 2nd time at grand buffet really good for lunch buffet
Kartik Shah
Not at all satisfied with the waiters. As a vegetarian they did not tried to respect my religion. I asked them more than 10 times to bring some variety in veg food (because they were only serving tofu and potato). They were even laughing when i politely  asked to bring some more variety. Shivaji who was  ( I think he was manager over there) continuously trying to ignore my call. <br/>Sorry Sir  but paying 500 and above plus tax i felt i was thuged by u guys. Totally disappointed. Will spread a word about your failure!!

We read some mixed reviews of this place but thought of giving a try, went for dinner. The place is good, less crowded, pleasent music, polite staff specialy Shubham and Prabhat who were professional and looking after our table, they did their job very well.<br/>Talking about the starter, it was Ok...(amm won't say best, that means there is much scope of improvement)..few chicken starter were little burnt but they said its barbecue and had to be like that. Main course and dessert all good.<br/>If we talk about overall, then this place is value for money!
Vinayak Mane
The Grand Buffet ... ♥️As the name indicates... Everything is special in this BBQ... but the Rogan Josh ... Wah.. agar koi " ♥️Rogan Josh♥️ " khaye toh grand buffet mai khaye ..

Kalyan Kumar
Located in a busy area but in a deserted mall. Went for a team lunch and had a worst nightmare.<br/>Went to enjoy barbecue at 1:00 pm. The staff was not ready and to the worst there was no power.. we were informed that it would be sorted out in 5mins, but didnt<br/><br/>We failed to enjoy food and left in 20 mins as the grill was dam hot and no AC. The management was least bothered and said that power supply is not in their hands.<br/><br/>I wonder what if this happens during night.
Rajeev Ranjan
Food quality was good. Ambience and people were polite.Service was prompt<br/>Good place to visit with family and friends.<br/><br/>Manager was decent and took personal feedback of food and service.

Pankaj Kr
I visited #theGrandBuffet for dinner with my friends. We have to wait 50 min till they could make an arrangement for us.<br/><br/>Food:<br/>Coming to the starters - Veg starters had a variety - On the grill we had Mushrooms, Paneer tikka, and Pineapple. They were serving Veg crispy also on the table. All good, and they took care of our taste buds when asked for spice level. Paneer tikka and Mushrooms were lip smacking.<br/><br/>Main course - Macroni Pasta, Garlic Rice and Daal had an average taste. Bhindi chatpata and Naan were very tasty, Noodles were a little hard. Chicken dum Biryani was a bit spicy so I don't liked it, but it was okay for my friends.<br/><br/>Desserts - Fruits, Seer khurma, Kulfi and Gulab Jamun were served. Variety and taste was decent.<br/><br/>Ambience:<br/>We had been inside the restaurant. The ambiance was good. It was not very noisy. The tables and chairs are well maintained and clean. The live music/performance was the best part of our dinner. Great atmosphere 🤩<br/><br/>Service:<br/>Staff was courteous and was taking care of us very often. Even I had a talk with the manager regarding the pricing, and she was very polite and helpful. Very good service. Thank you 🙏<br/><br/>Value for money:<br/>Very expensive. We visited during the Delhi chaat festival and it was 649 + tax. This amount is huge and one will think and compare with BBQ nation or ABs before visiting the place.<br/><br/>Suggestions:<br/>There should be available options for the complementary drinks. Also, there should be 2-3 starters. Rest no complaints, you guys are decent 🤠
Chandrajeet Kanchan
While the ambiance was OK; the overall service and taste of food was just unacceptable. Welcome drink was served when we were half done with main course. Starters tasted average and the main course was not even average level. The desserts were awful (as if they were prepared by school kids). To make matters even worse the staff looked extremely unhappy and unfriendly. Not sure why there were no smiles on anybody's faces and all of them looked absolutely unapproachable. Most of the staff members looked like they just came back after a 100 mile run and had no energy or pleasant feel in any of their behavior. It was an overwhelmingly disappointing evening for me and my team.<br/><br/>A BIG LOUD NO!!!
Laxman Kshatri
Pocket friendly place to come in with family and friends for a pleasant dinner, a nice variety of spread offered at this place, the service is excellent, the food quality is great, no complaint on either of things, the venue itself shows the royalty of this place, the liquor rates are pretty cheap...which is surprising...would love to come back.
Shaziya Virani
The Grand Buffet is overall a very good place to chill out with friends and family as well. Everything was excellent, the food, the service, the ambience. The food was absolutely delicious.<br/>And the Musician is my favourite add on factor there.<br/>
Sushree
Food is awesome. Service is also good. Especially the manager Mr. Sharat is very good in his job. Always gives proper attention to all customers. We enjoyed food a lot. Only needed little bit more Cleaningness. We asked the staff to do and they did also. So focus on that part too. All other things r very good.
Dona Ghosh
Good food... Good ambiance... Polite n good staff... Manager Mr. Sarat amazing person.<br/>Nice place to go with family n friends n also for office parties
Pavan Vatyani
Went with friends, one of friend got Plastic thread in roti. when bought to notice of management, they said its just a thread from flour sake. When we asked to meet some senior, answer was that they are busy in meeting(meeting imp thn customer). <br/>Useless argument from staff, staff was non apologetic and rude
Anup Joshi
Poor service, they avoid serving barbecue items and push people for other snacks. On top of it there was plastic in roti ! Called manager who was in avoidance mode and not ready to confront
Hemant Desai
Very late delivery, every time you'll ask anything you'll hear "5 min Sir" and you will end up waiting for 15 min. Starters were not cooked well, even the table barbeque was too slow to cook them, I end up just finishing startes for 2hr, all time I was waiting for something.
Vidyasagar
Its very nice place and ablouslety delicisious food and awsome hospatlity.staff is very good and manger is very well copdative my expierence is very exellent and one pawan kumar very good person and i suerly come again and again.

Foodie Life
It was a Friday afternoon around 1pm. We are 5 of us dined here. I just want to mention of quality of food is OK if I compare to the price. Service quality is also good. Good spread of main course. Over all good experience.
Rinet Dsilva
Value for money... good experience... can be better... as better options r still available... good service by the staff and manager Mr Sarat
Parvinder Bakshi
Food is not per expectations. Just Average taste. Ambience is good with live music. The main course was not hot just warm. They Must improve on taste.
Ritesh Saraf
What can I say... don't visit this place very disappointed..all food seems to be 1 or 2 day old fish was raw..prawns were so hard...no good spread in main course..I asked one of the guy to refill noodles he took the container and never returned back...
Abishek Kesh
The place is ok as per the charged amount . But the problem here is that all the items in barbeque are not available everyday. Sometimes, you may miss prawns or corn as happened with me. I would suggest to contact the restaurant first before going and ask regarding the items available in barbeque.<br/>One more feedback to the Grand Buffet that inform your attendents not to ask several times to the customer whether he/she has done with barbeque or not. Its very irritating to tell them several times. When you are taking the amount for unlimited food, please dont ask the customer several times.<br/>Thanks.
Pooja.poojashine
We were here today fir lunch the whole starter were tasteless so sorry to say this is worst lunch today but the main course is ok. Hope to correct the taste.
FoodShashtra
Ever get the feeling of "oh no! What am I doing here?" ?!! Well that was all I felt throughout my time at the "Grand" buffet.<br/><br/>There were so many things that were wrong that I still cannot believe i ended up paying Rs 600 + for the shoddy experience.<br/><br/>Service: 1/5<br/><br/>I walked in at 2:15 PM to a huge but empty restaurant in phoenix mall, which can easily seat at least 150 people at one go. I was told the non veg buffet price was Rs 629 which was totally contrary to the promotions (Octoberfest) they have on Zomato and their prices. Against my good judgement, I decided to give it a try anyway.<br/><br/>Post my order, i could easily see the reluctant staff of 15 + getting ready to prep meal for only 1 customer. The staff were almost ready to eat when I apparently barged in to the restaurant.<br/><br/>While I was seated, two grown up adult staff ran chasing each other in the restaurant from the reception till the kitchen. I understand team cohesion but the fact that a customer is in the restaurant the manner which the staff behaved with absolute disregard was extremely unprofessional.<br/><br/>There are more minute things I can point out but that will make this review unbelievably long.<br/><br/>Food: 0/5<br/><br/>I can make do with many things but compromising on food, THAT i can't do.<br/><br/>The starters were below average in taste, texture and visual appeal with the exception of the fish, which was brought towards the end.<br/><br/>Prawns - small, chewy and dry with no seasoning. Happens when you overcook or in my case "re-cook" food.<br/><br/>Chicken - again chewy and dry.<br/><br/>Chicken wings - a very mild sauce combination and unsavory.<br/><br/>veg kebab (or so they call it) - pure dry dough without a hint of seasoning.<br/><br/>Main course: Cold food? seriously?!! <br/><br/>They literally only reheated the food which I asked them to. Why could you not heat the food, when I was going through my starters? Why wait till the customer points out that the food is cold?<br/> Most importantly WHY would you have to reheat food at all ?<br/><br/>Anyway, the crab curry was the only dish worth savoring among the lot, not the mutton or the chicken.<br/><br/>The Dahi wada was again without any seasoning and lacked the usual tartness. <br/><br/>Desserts were average.<br/><br/>Cost: 1/5<br/><br/>The only reason I visited really was the Ocktoberfest offer that they so fancily have put up on Zomato but quite literally that afternoon it was a sham. The lunch buffet (as per your price list) is Rs 399+ tax but I was charged Rs 599+ tax. That is totally misleading and of nowhere near the value of the food that I was served.<br/><br/>Value for Money: 1/5<br/><br/>The food, service and experience is of less value than the paper they printed the bill on. <br/><br/>My verdict: <br/><br/>I pity those who would spend their hard earned money here or who before me have had a similar experience. I strongly urge my readers and buffet lovers to avoid this buffet because for the similar or less price you can have a quintessentially better buffet at BBQ Ville, AB's or other newly opened BBQs. <br/><br/>I also urge the management to retrospect on how they run things here.<br/><br/>This is not The Grand Buffet, it is The Grand Blunder !
Ayush
The food was great.There was live music which was good .The staff and service was awesome .The stater were good. The food was fresh & hygienic
Soumita
Very nice and beautiful place. Expensewise,reasonable. Desserts could improve. Adding pastries, tarts, muffins etc would definitely improve the experience.
Food_and_nature_lovers
The grand buffet ia really a good place with family to have a good buffet. The ambience is decent. The. Service and staff is awesome. The som and shubham from the staff was so helpful and amazing. The service was fast and the staff is so courteous. They also have live music and karoake. The singer was so good and also play music on request. We have a great night at grand buffet as we dance for a wgile on great songs. The food is good. The best that unlimited lemonade water. Just i want little improvement in non-veg staters. The quantity must be more. Overall it was a good experience for us.<br/><br/>Value for money - 4/5<br/>Quantity and quality - 4/5<br/>Ambience - 5/5
Girish Raut
Food was delicious, but the service provided by Som, sarjerao and other staff was best. Never received such type of service from any hotel. Will surely visit again.😊
Gurudev Sahoo
Good food.service is fast.starters especially prawns are yummy. A good experience with family and very good buffe lunch.will like to visit more to have this nice buffet.
Sanket Bhuktar
With a good taste and good number of starters served this is a nice place to have food. Service as well as the ambience is quite good. For a change you should definitely visit once
Sandy
Overall good experience, the best place to eat out with your colleagues/family and that too not so expensive.<br/>The ambience was superb.<br/>The taste was good. (at least Non-veg, few Veg ppl didn't like that much but overall good)<br/>Staff was excellent, quickly responsive and alert about what we want. Deep (one of the staff who served us starters) was very friendly and polite. <br/>We were 17 ppl and we become lucky to get 2 ppl at FREE of cost without any bargaining with manager or staff.<br/>We'll visit again for sure.
Niranjan Rode
One of the worst worst worst places ever to have food. Quality is pathetic taste even worse was the music horrible horrible (gave me a headache) and I have nothing to write about the ambiance and the arrangement of the tables no place at all to move so congested such a waste of such a good location.<br/><br/>This is the first ever restaurant where when we requested to see the manager we were told manager is not available he has gone out ....!!! Which manager "goes out" on a busy Saturday night... Ohhhh boy, no one leading the team... It was like watching a headless chicken dance....!!! It was chaotic.... Ohh dear boy...!!!<br/><br/>Also, this was the first ever restaurant which said they do not have a lemon wedge, we asked for it thrice they didn't get it and later told that there is no lemon wedge available.<br/><br/>The starters were pathetic, half of them were burnt, chicken was dry, prawns for sure were frozen.... Bad bad bad....!!! Main course each and every dish was so salty including the salads. In the end we ended up eating only desserts. I don't think any of there food was palatable...!!!<br/><br/>I for sure am never going back here I was scared on the first visit.... And for others well all I would say is 'enter at your own risk'...!!!
Kundan Bane
Ossam food ..and good ..service by som and gaurav. amazing music. Thanks for the best food. And live music.. Service boy very good present to customer and provide fast service for food..<br/>And every time caring about food.<br/>
Sumit Saxena
We went there for team party with around 20 people. Service was quick and ambiance was good. Veg starters were average but non veg starters were good, people loved it. Main course was average. Sweets were good and in variety. I loved Shahi tukda. All in all its a value for money.<br/>All the best!
Ramneev Kumar
Pathetic experience! Poor staff - food was really terrible. While having dal makhni we found little stones in it. Would never recommend any one to have food here.
Anamika
They serve old food. It looked like buffet was there since morning. Starters were ok ok but main course was really thumbs down. I regretted visiting
Ummi Ansari
The best buffet in the city. On top the best service from Sarju n Pavan. Trust me I have 10 month old baby, they bring all food for me on table. Also they take care of baby so that I can eat food calmly. If you visit plz ask sarju to serve you , his smile is contagious and he makes u feel guest is God.
Brijminder Singh
I called to check about veg and non veg buffet and it was confirmed that they have both. Happily, the group of 12 reached the venue at 1430 hrs. This is when one of the support staff person asked me to join him at the corner and whispered "sir, there was a party and because of that non veg is limited". I told him that please manage somehow as only 5 in our group were non vegetarians. Thankfully, they not only managed chicken but also managed two bowls of mutton.<br/><br/>Ambiance is decent and seating arrangement is also subtle. The service was quick. I won't compare the food with BBQ nation but this wasn't bad either.<br/><br/>Overall:<br/>Food: 3/5<br/>Ambiance: 3/5<br/>Service: 4/5<br/>Value for money: 3/5
Shamal Rambhade
Today at 10 September I visit this place once again,I have great experience here. Great place to have buffet food. Service is also nice, nice environment. Neat and clean place,
Sid
Service is improved, Fabulous and food quality is awesome. Staff is friendly. Sarju and Sonu has given their best service. Changed in dine style also
Mohamed Abdel Salam
Thanks a lot for Sonu for his professional service he provided us during our visit to the restaurant. He was very kind and tried to help us with understanding food varieties and our needs.
Priya Sontakke

Prajna Amar
Nice food.. Good ambience!! Musical night was awesome.. Nice service from the staff..Desserts are quite less in number.. Spinach soup was very tasty.. Starters are yummy !!totally loved it!!
Amar Hegde
Had been to TGB for Saturday night buffet. We were veggies and whatever I write here is for veg items only.We got a warm welcome a tasty tangy lemon juice as welcome drink. Starters were tasty and fresh. Liked paneer and veg crispy a lot. Spinach soup was very good and other main course foods were up to the mark. Coming to the desserts, they were not huge in numbers but whatever was there they are delicious. Staff were extremely friendly Deep was very caring.<br/><br/>I give 5/5 for for restaurant. Thanks for the wonderful dinner.
Anish Ghadiyar
Amazing service by Pawan and Umesh, the appetizers are lipsmacking and the server's make sure you have had each of it till you aren't satisfied. The mains needs to be looked up on has a scope of improvement but it's yet amazing and tasty and justified. Will definitely come back for the service and food. The artist performing completes the evening, he is too good<br/>Thank you. Keep up the good work.
Saquib
So this place have been one of the worst I have been too. We called to book the table and they just said come down which raised a red alert but it was Monday so quite anticipated. <br/><br/>1. Staff - cordial but no etiquette. It was very difficult to figure out the staff as everyone was in casuals. Limited understanding of menu.<br/><br/>2. Ambience - looks amazing and spacious but there is no space between tables for a person to stand. It’s a buffet and people will tend to stand and sit frequently. The family next table hit ours and the soup spilled.<br/><br/>3. Food - I understand that the taste and flavours are different and some place might not go that very well. But the bare minimum requirement is that the food is hot. It was cold and made the taste terrible. Starters again were barbecued long enough already before being served so barbecuing it again just for namesake made it worse. We really had to skip the starters after first round. We went for main course and accept the maccaroni everything was stale. Didn’t taste good at all. No one even asked for serving breads plus no one was serving water. Desserts were sad too.<br/><br/>Overall, this is for the last time I am visiting this place. <br/>To the management, sorry to write you guys off but this is an honest attempt for you guys to look into the issues.
Shweta Tikone
I visited this place twice but food menu was same. Great ambience with live music are add on. Starters are good but never liked non veg main course much. Chicken biryani was very dry. Kheer was having smoky flavour or it was burnt that I didnt get. Gulabjamum and gujiya were very tasty. Overall considering starters and desert, my experience was good.
Debanshu Ghosh
Well, ambience was nice, music was good, waiters were polite and reluctant.. But, honestly speaking I didn't like the taste of the food.. Few points I need to mention :<br/>1. There is such no variety as compared to Barbecue Nation<br/>2. In the midway there was storage of Fish tikka kabab<br/>3. Main course what to say.. Really disappointing!<br/>4. Starters were good enough
Vibha
Menu is very limited and taste also is not good Disappointed with the service quality as well.Will not recommend it.<br/><br/>Not a good option for vegetarians
Pramod Pudale
Nice place,good variety, delicious food, very good service,helpful staff like sonu n all,  pretty good decor,  overall osm place visit atlist once.
Yash
Very good and authnetic place to try variety of food<br/>..!!<br/>The barbeques grills and other food variety is just awesome , should try at least once<br/><br/>
Khushboo Agarwal
The food was not good in taste. The manager of this outlet is really good at serving. The waiters were negligent and not interested in their work. Manager was doing a good job at managing his job and helping waiters and other workers too. The food variety is less.
Jyoti Dhaware
I love this place to visit with my family and freinds. I have gone here almost 5 times in last one year.<br/><br/>The food is awesome. We have barbeque here. Unlimited food makes the highlight of the show. Even it is unlimited feed the restaurant do not compromise on the food quality and the buffet system always has variety in menu for both veg and nonveg foodies.<br/><br/>It is like food festival. They also have live karaoke and some amazing performance. <br/><br/>Interior is nice and it has the food served in the center. You will get welcome drinks when you enter.<br/><br/>Staff is very good and helpful.<br/><br/>You might need to make reservations as this place is always crowded and you have to wait to get table most of the time. <br/><br/>The Grand Buffet
Aman Kumar Jha
Nice place firstly...very sweet gesture of people working there specially Mr. Sombahadur<br/>Must visit place guys...food is also good you can get great varieties at very reasonable price for both vegeterians and non vegeterians.
Mayur S
We had great food here. Overall great experience. Somehow I don’t understand why there is huge difference between seasons mall and Phoenix mall outlets. They are opposite in the term of taste and quality. I will always prefer Phoenix outlet to visit.
Loveneet Hora
my FIRST and LAST serving with THE SO CALLED GRAND BUFFET..went there with family for dinner buffet to celebrate my birthday..!!! worst dinner ever...spoiled my bday celebration.<br/><br/>if you are a BBQ lover its better u go AB's season or BBQ in kalyani...but this is not the place where u would love BBQ at all...<br/><br/>1. their staff has so much of miscommunication among themselves and don't know where to make their patrons sit..i was relocated to different tables TWICE.!!<br/><br/>2. it took them 15 minutes to start the starters and get the grill for us.<br/><br/>3. chicken wings tasted stale; chicken seekh was half cooked and tasted stale and bad, prawns had too much salt in its marination.<br/> most of the veg item was just marinated and kept on our grill so the was all raw <br/>4. after the 1st serving none of the waiter cared to ask us what other skewers we wanted until i had to reach out to manager to ask how can we get someone's attention to bring more food...!!! <br/><br/>only thing which i finally liked was chicken biryani in main course...<br/><br/>I wish i would have went to cafe Arabia or KFC at phoenix which was hardly 100 mtr than this waste of time n money THE GRAND FUDDU BUFFET..!!!

Bhaut acha laga ...15 august 8.pm achi sarvice thi started amezing..& dinner very nicc ..desert muje bhaut acha lagaa hamnee khup enjoy kiyaa sab staff achaa hai ..aurr hotel acha decorate hai full on A.c
Amrit Raj Singh
My dinner experience is not good. Taste & quality wise both! Found some flaws in non-veg pieces. Uncooked pieces found on my plate. Very disappointed. Wasted my money.<br/>Starters: Some were surprisingly good, while most of them were tasteless. <br/>Dinner buffet: Not good at all. The management need to check non veg stuff more precisely. Please serve cooked & hot food than raw ones.

Always been here... It's a great experience with warm hospitality ...<br/><br/>Service was really awesome by waiter<br/>For service 5/5<br/><br/>Food 4.5/5<br/><br/>Ambiance 4/5<br/><br/>Music 5/5
Sumeet Tiwari
It's like been there, Ate that ... Grand buffet is not Grand by any perspective.. ambiance is mediocre ... Food is below and service is horrible .. Better go for Gujarati thali that won't disappoint you as this big name giant did.. which buffet business says they don't have 2 of 5 mentioned items available... That too on weekdays and with customers in only 4-5 table<br/>Believe me... with a setup in a renowned mall.. You have a bright business to serve better... Reap that opportunity ..
Ashish Roshan
The hospitality was awesome and the food was really delicious. Special thanks to manager Sarat for the special attention and fulfilling all the requirements and nice behaviour.
Richa Ray

Rohit Jahagirdar
Visited this place for first time and the experience was not good at all... Very limited starters and quality is also not so good... Staff is not courteous enough with the customers... This restaurant is no where near Barbeque Nation...
Shilpa
We had been there for team lunch. Good food. Loved the variety. The starters were good and the main course was even better. Variety of dessert options, me being a vegetarian I got value for money.
Varun Pawar
A great place to take your family and friends. Really nice food, good staff, great ambience, very easily approachable, Over all great experience!<br/><br/>Gulab jamun was so yummmy :)
Shalabh Adsule
One of the grand place to have barbeque. Very good variety and importantly super taste. Tried almost everything. Loved the ambience and helpful nature of staff spl Mr. Shubham swami, he made our experience tasty and hot. Overall superb experience must visit place.
Pramol Waghmare
I would give 5 stars for the service , staff, ambience and music karaoke on fridays !! But food didn’t actually HD many good options ! Veg was completely waste. Taste was not so good for veg food. On the other hand a few options for non veg starters only. Chicken wings made my day. Although non vegetarians can enjoy meal 🥘 taste wise food was okay ! Methi murgh and mutton rogan josh was best. And deserts were quite good as compared to overall food. Good place to visit for family gatherings only if you’re a non vegetarian. Vegetarians should explore some good veg restaurants as veg is not good here. Pocket friendly and karaoke nights on Friday was nice 👌

There were RATS! Rats roaming near the kitchen area!!! Please go at your own risk. This was not expected from such a nice hotel. Please pay more attention towards the hygiene....

We had a booking for 20 people for team lunch one day before. This place was empty when we reached there around 12.50. They were not prepared for bbq and starters.<br/><br/>For Veg starters, they had crispy veg & bhajiya, which was not expected as starters in place called Grand Buffet.<br/><br/>Overall mains food was also ok ok, not so great.<br/><br/>Service was good, but huge improvement required in food menu to survive in compitition in buffet segment.
Debasree Mukherjee
The food was good and ambiance was nice and cozie. First visit good and money worth it. The service was good. Variety of different food and sweet dishes.

We went for a sunday dinner buffet. A very good spread of all the items. Starting from the starters- chicken 2 varieties, mushroom, prawns, paneer, veg fry, alo tikki, fish tikka, pineapple roast, chicken wings. Each and every items were very well made. Apart from that they serve you with soup and lemon juice. Main course had a variety. Another attraction was the dessert spread- sewai, nariyal mithai, lavang latika, dahi vada, kulfi- kesar, pista and strawberry, gulab jamun and another type of sweet whose name i don't recall. The staff were Cordial and very well behaved. Reasonably priced. Also, on sat- sun, there is live music that is another attraction. Overall very good ambience along with good food at a good price.
Badal Sethi
Lovely Food with great hospitality.....<br/>The Staff Sarat & Pawan were<br/>really helpful serving the delicious food promptly... Just Ac cooling is not up to the mark... And No Bar Available
Akshat Shetty

I must say the ambiance is just amazing as the music in thous is just amazing and the staff is awesome especially Sonu. Must visit this place guys. And it’s inexpensive. Value for money
Food Is Life
This was our 4th visit and haapy to saw that they have changed the management.<br/>Food was tastier than before, service was ok, but we didnt get any soft drinks, maicktails or any kind of cold beverages. Staff informed that they will start serving these drinks from 1st of next month.<br/>Overall food was good.
Amit Parshionikar
Very limited varieties, you don't even get mutton kebabs here. Quality of food was not so good, fish starter was stinky and they have less variety for veg starters though they charge the same. I dont recommend this place.
Silki Deepankar Shreegyan
Swear never to go there again... Infested with rats... N when we pointed out several times..they started apologizing that its due to construction work n all... But they were all coming and going out of their pantry n godown. Fled as soon as we could.
Manvi Saiwal
The ambience was okay but the food and service was horrible. Never had such a bad experience in my life. The staff is not even properly informed about their own menu. Refills were not available for the buffet as they were not ready. Had to wait a lot for everything.
Ektaa Jindal
Not up to the mark..they tried to compete with Barbeque Nation but they just can't match up with the taste. Lastly, when u see a mouse in the restaurant, u won't visit that place again.
Jatin Mandhania
Please its a NO-NO place to go and have food here.<br/><br/>On Friday, we as a team of 25 ppl visited this place for Dinner and the atmosphere was enthusiastic with live music. At 9 we reached, starters were served on the table but that were served with the gap of 10mins. Every now and then we need to ask waiter to get the starters. At 9.30, we came to know they were serving welcome drink as well i.e. watermelon and lime juice which we got after we had done with starters and only lime juice because watermelon juice was finished. When it comes to taste, neither the starters were spicy or had any taste. It was just masala on it. Whatever it may be veg or nonveg starters there was no taste in it.<br/><br/>At 9.45 around we thought to go for main course and imagine that at this point of time their veg and nonveg salad had finished. When we asked the waiter he told that he will get it but it never came. None of the main course had any taste expect dahi raita, gulab jamun and aloo sabji. Just imagine non veg was also not good in taste. The whole food was tasteless.<br/><br/>The first 15-20 guys got the bowl to eat deserts but later when we went for deserts, bowls were not available. The icecream was totally melted and it was messed up. I was wondering whether we were in marriage hall or in hotel.<br/><br/>On top of the above, at 10.30 PM AC was off as they were about to close but live music was on.<br/><br/>Really strange experience and not at all recommended.
Mahesh Gajare
I visited on 7th June 18 with 3 of my friends. Food was good & worth the price but hygiene & staff behaviour is something that needs a lot improvement.<br/>There was a big Rat roaming around freely inside kitchen & restaurant. When we told this to manager he wasn't even apologized but instead he was not ready to listen. He told us that he is paying 10000 Rs for pest control. Does Paying money to some third class agency means it is done ? First learn some basic hotel manners. Even if you feed for free ,Playing with customer's health is not at all acceptable.
Rocky
Food Quality has become very poor. Non veg gravy was not think to much water. Roti served was too crispy, which would be soft and more butter. <br/>Service was not good. Every time we had to ask to fill the empty buffet. <br/>Dahi wada should be soft which is never soft at grand buffet. <br/>Ambiance is good but sofa needs to be cleaned.<br/>Very disappointed this time.
Mohac Ahluwalia
Nice ambiance and good food. They have a large spread in terms of starters and main course as well. Pricing is on the lower side, so you could look at this place to do team lunches.<br/>
Nivriti Tiwari
The ambience looks sad and unclean,food specially starters are served cold,starters are very limited and bland in taste.<br/>There is nothing about this place that is grand,<br/>Waste of money and time.
Tejas Singh Shaktawat
They have a pretty good decor to grab your attention firsthand but the food is not that good starters are okk, but you can get better at the same price in other restaurants same goes with the main course and desserts , the main drawback is they don't have the enough variety and options for the customers and even the tasty is not great . The only food thing are the kulfi's available there.
Ankita Prasad
This place has just gone down. They have cut down on starters, the main course remains the same and the desert has gone down. And I don't speak just for the variety but also for the quality. The services so offered are clumsy as well. Please do yourself a favor and visit barbeque nation..the prices are almost the same and the quality is amazing.
Shiv Raj
Food is so good and we love the service overall and we received full discount on group order.food and overall ambiance is so good according to other restaurants.
Tushar Ramojwar
Ambience is OK but can be improved .<br/>Side of entry door had some water cans which spoiled the look. AC is not good for such a big place.<br/>Service is too slow, but people are soft spoken.<br/>Food is not up to mark.<br/>Lid for soup was broken.<br/>Starters<br/>Chicken was raw<br/>Prawns were like rubber<br/>Fish was ok<br/>Gobi manchurian was like some road side stall<br/>Chicken wings were ok<br/>Main course<br/>Daal was excellent<br/>Both mutton curry and chicken do pyaza had same curry base<br/>Deseret<br/>OK
Rushabh Chokhandre
Ambience- OK<br/><br/>Starters- some are excellent while most of them will disappoint <br/><br/>Fish was raw <br/>Tangdi kebab was ok<br/>Prawns were surprisingly good<br/>Chicken seekh kebab bland and over charred <br/>Chicken wings can be improved <br/><br/>Paneer tikka and mushroom were really good<br/>Bbq pineapple completely dry<br/>Gobi Manchurian - Ok<br/>Their menu said aloo tikki chat , what was served to me was plain bland aloo tikki<br/>Also they served bhatiwala aloo - dnt really know what they intended to serve<br/><br/>Additionally they served grilled bombay duck which too was bland<br/><br/>Main course- Better than starters 😊<br/><br/>Methi murg, Crab moilee, Mutton curry all were really good 👍🏻<br/><br/>Chicken biryani completely dry no moisture whatsoever <br/><br/>Now for the desserts <br/><br/>Gajar kheer - Lip smacking 😋<br/>Dahi wada ( they mentioned it in dessert section 😊) - What the aloo tikki chat lacked was compensated by this dish<br/>Malpua - hard and dry<br/>Gulab Jamun - Fresh and piping hot, well it’s all time classic so they got it right 😊<br/><br/>Service - let’s just say if there is not much crowd to cater to they serve you well else you have to wait even for a glass of water while you run out of patience <br/><br/>It was a mixed experience for me. But worth a try may be if you are lucky you guys will have a better experience than I did 😊
Debby Wilfred
Slow service. No good starters. Asked them a hundred times for fish starters but was always disappointed by getting only a skewer with 2 pieces.<br/><br/>Buffet was OK. <br/>Desserts were horrible. Left without tasting any.<br/>Ambience is very dull. <br/>Overall last time I'll be coming here.
Tanisha Rao
The restaurant falls into the economy section and serves quite a variety as compared to the cost. It serves started on a grill on the table and some come as platter to plate. The rest is served as a buffet . They serve a variety of Indian dishes. Taste can be improved a little bit but the food is not bad. The service is good. The tables are well spaced. I also like the buffet serving bowls. Keep it up. Overall good place.
Rohit Parande
Not recommended this place at all . It was worst experience . Poor service . We got glass of water after 20 min. Excuse staff is absent not at all attention to customer. Very limited variety of food . Food Not that great in taste. We were 20+ Family member for Family event . Our event completely got spoiled. Very arrogant management . They switch off AC so that customer should wrap up the place early. We regret we choose this place for big event of our family. Strongly suggest think before going this place.
Rajat Tapkir
The Grand buffet... there's nothing grand in it only the ambience is better... The food quality was ok ok but the service wasn't good and the waiters were only serving chicken and potatoes. The manager and the support staff wasn't so supportive and after asking water the water was served within 10 mins. The worse service I've been to. I'll suggest please don't visit this place they don't have the proper menu<br/>
Pratik Kadam
The worst place I have been to. They have not mentioned Ice Cream in their menu in this 44°C heat. And they are like it has finished for today. And when we pressurised no we want it they were like bring them small cups.. look at their customer handling.. No better service, not at all good staff, everyone busy with their bigger customer's and etc. There were only 3 desserts gulabjamun, balushahi, and sewaiya that's it... I'm not at all happy with this kind of services..!! I think they should learn from the BBQ Nation. Thanks
Jayesh Baviskar
One of the worst restaurant of pune.<br/>few days before I got a call from jukasu, they gifted me a dinner in this restuarant, and below rating is based on that experience.<br/><br/>Food quality: Food is horrible. They have very less varieties in starters and they all taste bad. The main course is worst than the average quality of roadside food. Even it was not fresh.<br/><br/>Service: The only word which can describe their service is "pathetic". You have to wait on table for around 20-30 mins to get the barbeque. You have to call them each time and they will keep ignoring you.<br/><br/>
SuRaj Kumar
The amazing food for a very reasonable price. Nice ambience, quite good options. Don't know about veg buffet. Being in a prime location and providing at that price it's a must to try. The service is definitely not good, the items were given late. Even i asked for watermelon juice and water which was given after half an hour, that's not tolerable. Dessert were not that good but okay.
Karan0098
HORRIBLE place.. never again.. unless you want to eat rat infested food. 3 fat rats are a nice tourist attraction here. No apology either. All we got was attitude in return.. still had to pay. Chicken was raw. Also no soft drink served here. Grand buffet at the mall is better than this place.<br/><br/>Would give this place minus if possible.
Roly Sachdeva
Pathetic food. Fake promises from. Manager mr jha.<br/>I went on 15 April..... We r 4 members....first of all noone bother to ask about water.<br/>Then 15 Mon they have started serving starters.<br/>In starters they only have chicken and fish .every thing was soo spicy.chicken was like rubber.<br/>We called thr manager after eating 1 pieces if starters...... We told about the food he apologized nd he promised next time we will give you complimentany. We didn't even touch the main course as maincouse was also pathetic.<br/><br/>When we called again he said whenever u want to come call me 1 day before.<br/><br/>After a week we called on the same number that lady mrs pillai was soo soo rude. We told over situation she said sorry I can't give complimentary. I don't know who promised and that manager left I can't do anything.<br/>This is how they r eating our money.<br/>Guys u decide weather u want to eat pathetic food or to save your money.
Buffet Maniac
There is Change of management. Now weekdays also they charge 600 + gst not yet updated on Zomato.<br/><br/>With the increase in price they have also reduced food variety. Now only one mocktail instead of 2. 4 starters now instead of previous 6. No Kulfis now which are my favourite. Main course was a disaster, worst in taste.<br/><br/>Only positive side was they are concentrating on better service so you have to wait less time as waiters are now more proactive. But what will do with good service if your food experience is ruined. (This is a buffet right)<br/><br/>This is used to be a pocket friendly buffet with best in class variety and taste. I wonder why would someone go here and not Barbeque Nation and other places while prices may be Rs 50-100 difference and food way way better than here.
Akshay Sanjay Shinde
Been here multiple times, the menu was unchanged all the time. Although the pricing is okay, but the service could be a little better. Do visit if you are on a shoe-string but want a buffet.:)
Rajashri Thorat
Ambience is great as needed in a barbecue casual dining restaurant<br/>Starters on the grill and plates pleases your taste buds<br/>Buffet is also great.<br/>Service is amazing .they keep you entertained through out your whole meal.<br/>Make sure to pre-book a table if going on a Friday Night else you might have to wait for a table.<br/>Overall had a great experience here. The prices were discounted.<br/>Which is way better on your pocket in comparison to BBQ nation.
Rounak Goenka
Absolutely Disaster! I went here for my Birthday lunch today, my wife did the reservation in advance and advice them to arrange something for birthday, they did not have any clue that advance booking was done, Staff is bizarre and not trained properly , Now coming to food , we are vegetarians so only two out of 5 barbeque started were good except those everything was below par and unhygienic , Desserts were below par and very fewer items, Ice cream and kulfi was melted and maintenance is poor.<br/>
Satish Chavan
worst food ever try out in buffet system...even though restaurant was not crowded still the service was nt upto mark...the staff comes with starter almost 20 mins later that too after asking 2-3 time...even the starter was boring...we had aloo tiki..which they serve as if they just bring it from fridge...even the rice and chicken was not hot same with the kulfi it's taste like medicine... the soup hs more water dn contents...prawns n chicken was nt cooked properly...we already compliance to staff bt no one reply...one counter they mentioned halwa bt when we check out it was kheer instead of halwa ..<br/>pestry was not on the plate we asked on tht stuff said it's not today.. really disappointed ..
Makrand M Gurav
I've been to many unfavorable places but this was the King of all worsts!<br/><br/>It starts with the service & staff. No recognition, neither proper treatment or serving.<br/><br/>As the clock strikes 11pm everyone is getting late here, they dimmed the lights and asked for payment WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF FINISHING MY HORRIBLE food.<br/><br/>The food isn't worth it. Vegetarian food is an absolute waste.<br/><br/>No grilled fish was a surprise.<br/><br/>No surprises in the BILL though. Nicely overcharged<br/><br/>Only good thing i found was Live music.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>Hate to state, these guys are nowhere in comparison with its counterpart BBQN
Sachin Arote
one of the worst restaurant I ever had. Food was not worthy. What I can say about Main course... There were lots of items on live counter with cockroaches as well. Also other guest were also there like one big Rat which was going here and there.. full of horrible guest.<br/>Don't ever visit this restaurant. ow you will meet lots of unnecessary guest..<br/>Don't have star less than 1...
Calab Kodmal
awesome food and hospitality... special attention by manager Sarat. excellent.... variety of food and good taste... the staff is polite and quite approachable<br/>
Radhika Arora
Food served raw . Drinks served warm in summers. You should improve upon your service as well. Main course is not properly cooked. Desserts not up to the mark . Total waste of money
Aneesh Awadhiya
It was an nice experience.!!! GooD food.!<br/>I must say we had a ball.. Awsome food with Awsome service, keep up the good work TheGrandBuffet. Looking forward to come again.
Shriniwas Govardhan
Ambiance of place is very good. Very less options for starters which is essence of thess type of restaurants. Main course is very good and big, but it was served cold. We complained it to Manager. Very less options for desserts as well.
Amrita Nebhwani
The place has a pleasant ambience with a very good service. Starters were ok, however main course grabbed the taste buds. Cannot miss mentioning thai curry and chilli noodles. Deserts did not seem to be grand..overall no complaints<br/>
Ajay
Nice place, staff were friendly and courteous, food was amazing, I really like the chicken wings and well marinated Smudri Jhinga it was awesome. Thanks guys keep it up...<br/><br/>
Zoya Shaikh
The buffet is not at all grand infact it is pathetic..<br/>Service slow<br/>Seating distance between tables less<br/>Food very dry n tasteless <br/>No washrooms n the basin is also dirty <br/>Never going again for sure coz I really value my money
Nadeem
The food was very average. The flavours of the grilled meats was either too overpowering or too under-seasoned. The soup was tasteless and their pastries were distasteful. The service was pathetic. There were long durations when our grill was empty and no waiter served us with anything inspite of asking on multiple occasions. Even though this place offers one of the lowest prices in the bbq/grill buffet category, given their quality of food and service it feels highly overpriced. The ambience is also nothing great and rather fairly congested. In addition, their wash basin was clogged which is just plain disgusting.<br/><br/>In short, my break up for the rating is:<br/>Food - 2<br/>Service - 1<br/>Ambience - 3<br/>Pricing - 2
Gayatri
Staff is rude. Service is super slow. Chicken was dry. Pastries were also dry. Overall 2 rating for the ambience. Staff can be more proactive
Manasa Karthik
Food was horrible. They charged 526/- per head but the food was not worth. Ambience was ok ok. service was good. Even Desserts were horrible. kulfi was tasting like a medicine 🤔 and it was yuck. Not to degrade the hotel but want them to improve their quality. Not recommended!!!<br/><br/>Food : 1/5<br/>Service : 3/5<br/>Quality : 1/5<br/>Ambience : 2/5<br/>Money worth : 1/5<br/>Hygiene : 3/5
Sunil Singh
Nothing was even average. Service was pathetic, food was cold and not of good taste. They charged child of 10 years as adult...For water also we followed 20-30 mins and that too was provided after talking to manager. BBQ was tasteless, Main course was also tasteless and most of the items were not available in container....there was chaos every were on the floor.
Pathikrit Sengupta
A lovely place to visit with friends for a weekday/weekend dinner or lunch! I have had a very good experience with Grand Buffet Magarpatta, and I'm happy to say that Grand Buffet Viman Nagar has won my heart too! let's begin with;<br/><br/>Location:<br/>Grand Buffet Viman Nagar is located in the East Court at Phoenix Market city! Phoenix Market city is the heart of not only Viman Nagar, but most of the Northern Pune region. hence the location is top notch and couldn't be better.<br/><br/>Interiors and Ambience:<br/>The restaurant is well designed and more spacious as compared to their outlet in Seasons mall, Magarpatta. lighting is beautiful and the overall ambience is just perfect! not a bad place to visit with your partner, he/she will definitely love to be on a date with you here!<br/><br/>Food (quality and taste):<br/>I'd always say this to all the restaurants that there is always a scope of improvement as far as quality and taste of food is concerned. Taste of starters could be much better. Not saying that it isn't good, but people shouldn't visit a restaurant just once. So to make people visit again and again, the taste of food should just leave a memorable mark on everyone's taste buds! All the dishes are quite tasty and the prawns on grill particularly are a must to try.<br/><br/>Service:<br/>I'm not unhappy with the service. Table attendants are quite hospitable and prompt! Although I visited on a weekday and the restaurant wasn't even half full so I can't say for the times when the restaurant is crowded! but overall the service was pretty decent and have nothing to mention as such.<br/><br/>Overall experience:<br/>If you're looking forward to enjoy a variety of food then Grand Buffet is definitely a great choice. Everytime I come out of Grand Buffet, I feel as if I just attended a wedding feast! So I hope you understand that you will have a great time here! I would contemplate to visit this place if I were vegetarian. Not as satisfactory for vegetarians as it is for non-vegetarians! Overall I'm quite satisfied and would love to visit again!<br/><br/>
The Bored Panda
Nothing grand about it. Just a royal place with an ordinary food and hospitality.<br/><br/>Ambience was the only thing good about this place.<br/><br/>Food was just average. Starters were not good in taste. The guy serving the starters were giving us such looks when we asked to repeat something as if we are taking something from his own plate.<br/><br/>Even after multiple requests, some of the things were repeated and served. In the main course, several containers were empty and no one was bothered for a refill till someone asked or pointed out. No clear labels on food being veg or non veg. Same for the desserts as well.<br/><br/>Eager to get us the bill when we were having our desserts. God knows from where they did their management course.<br/><br/>Not recommended.
Jagan
The worst food in my life ,<br/>just I had 1 grill of chicken/fish and 2 grill of prawns mutton was not cook well my starters finished after main course I found the mutton was cook but it's too sticky<br/>crab good<br/>deserts ok<br/>now my family was suffering with loose motion<br/>hi friends I suggest you please go better restaurant s don't think about money.
Yagnesh Tailor
I have planned team dinner here. I must say i am very disappointed with my experience.  We were not given water glass for 20 mins after we seated on table. Approx 30+ minutes later we got our 1st starter. Then no one appear. We at end started direct main items after very disappointed with service. There was no bowl also to take half of the items. <br/><br/>I will suggest do not plan any of your good events here. Even on weekday we had such experience not sure what will happen at weekend.<br/>Ambience:  4/5<br/><br/>Food:<br/>Starter: 1/5 (We hardly received any)<br/>Main Course: 3 /5<br/>Sweet:  3.5/5<br/>Service: 1/5
Drishti
The ambience is classy and marvelous and staffs are friendly and coming to the food as it is a buffet from starters till desserts are been served. There is a barbeque attached to the table. Everything is just perfect. A must visit place😊
Raj Patil
Awesome Food We Injoye...........<br/>Good Starters and Good Staff,<br/>take new dessert in ice creams& kulfis<br/>& Good Service by Dip<br/>☺☺☺ 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Nikita Kinkhede
The Name only suggests...Its actually Grand I went with my friends we opted for both veg and non veg buffet so that we could taste both.And I must tell you That from welcome drink n starters till the desserts each and every delicacy was tasty.The service was prompt. If I have to rate Ambience 7/10, Taste 8.5/10, Service 8.5/10.
Gayatri Zalte
Definitely a better substitute for barbecue nation. Better in terms of<br/><br/>1.Ambience 2.Taste 3.Prize<br/><br/>however, service here is slow and the staff is confused. Vegans might want to skip this as not much variety available for them.<br/><br/>Tastiest barbecue dishes were prawns and fish. The meat was tender and marination was perfect. Paneer barbecue was also good. Not many options in veg, only paneer, mushroom and potatoes. Nonveg options were tastier. Seekh kebab, chicken tikka was also good. The main course had little less variety but definitely tasty. Chicken biryani was yummy. Singaporean noodles and chicken manchow soup was amazing.<br/><br/>Overall had a great experience here. The prices were discounted. Rs 499/- per person excluding GST.<br/>Which is way better on your pocket in comparison to BBQ nation.
Avik
Ambience: 5/5<br/><br/>Food: <br/>Starter: 3/5<br/>Main Course: 3.5/5<br/>Sweet: 3.5/5<br/><br/>Service: 4/5<br/><br/>Overall good experience..good decor..spacious and good seating arrangement..moderate food..felt non veg dishes were less as compared to veg dishes.. Red thai curry is a must try..pocket friendly place..<br/>
Navneet Sandhu
Great food and service by staff Manish Kumar and specially by Mr. Sarat(Manager) and Mr.Santosh. We had buffet and they had cooked Rogan josh on main course on special request, Which was very delicious.
Vishal Gupta
Good quality of food with variety option.Experienced good service under Sarat manager.. Good staff members in restaurant... Add ed more potion as Pasta nd moctails..
Shubhank Zanwar
The service was very very awesome and will surely make a visit to this place again. The management was great.. Thanks to mr. Sarat.. Keep going
Preethi .n
worst place . we went on Friday for dinner.. service was very very poor... grills were empty for half an hour,the waiters dont attend you..very few items in buffet, food was not so tasty starters as well as main course , desserts were also not so good, had to wait for almost 15 minutes for starters ,no value for the customers, it doesn't deserve rating 1 never visit this place .
Lav Gupta
The worst service ever i have ever got<br/>the grills are empty for half n hour even the waiters never attends u<br/>the worst place to have dnnr<br/>please lease do not visit this placs
Indhu
Had been here for Dinner buffet as part of women's day celebration😃 and yes I liked the place👍<br/>Ambience- Really nice and classic... dim light setup at tables and nice decor😃 3/5<br/>Food- Starters is what I was looking forward for and it was a live barbeque experience and it was nice the fish was good nice juicy tender and we'll marinated, chicken Manchurian and chicken Tikka was also tasty... however didn't like the chicken seekh kebab felt it was a little rubbery<br/>Main course- Of course and elaborate buffet but very little space in stomach😉 we tried the fish masala and butter nan which was really nice and again fish made very well... chicken salad , sprout salad&pasta were also okay..mutton roganjosh gravy was really nice but somehow the pieces didn't break off the bone easily🤔. &special mention is the chicken biryani with raita which was really tasty... well flavoured rice, perfectly marinated chicken was really good..totally recommend 😘<br/>desserts- there was gulab jamun , kulfi was really good... the kesar barfi was not good and chocolate ice cream was okay<br/>Service- Fast and good... right from welcome drink to flow of starters to servicing all went well and timely.<br/>Verdict- Overall a good restaurant... if you like Barbeque Nation but an affordable and budget friendly wen then do try The Grand buffet...I would give 3.5stars out of 5will definitely visit again.👍<br/>Suggestion- is to marinate the starters bit more which will enhance their flavours even more👍<br/>
Vishal Vyas
Excellent food and excellent service...fantastic ambience...family place.................................<br/>....................................
Abhishek Zigyasu
The ambience is good, the location and the staff is good. Also eating at the place makes you feel like royalty. Some really good photos can be clicked because of incredible lights and chandelier. The food however was not upto the mark. In the end, the food is the one that matters and it was not upto the level.
Sandesh
Nice ambiance, nice service, manager is quite friendly to serve your demand beyond buffet.<br/>Food was delicious.Overall good buffet.<br/>Only suggestion to have quality stalls during some festival or theme time.
Deepti Sinha
I didn't like it, service is very slow there is no wash room, no body to attend u, the starter r very spicy, there is no taste in buffet food, dessert r also not gud.......... At last there billing issue
Mi Ja
I just cannot get the meager reviews given by other people. This place is actually the best in it's range and above too. Coming to starters, we were served some delicious Paneer tikka, Mushroom tikka and a Pasta of our chosen ingredients and it was delicious. The main course was "the best" I've ever eaten. The range of cuisines were mouth watering. Chinese, Mughlai, North Indian were all delicious. Desserts were too humble to ignore. We were actually shocked to find authentic Bengali sweets as a part of the menu. Also, the staff was courteous and responsive even during rush hours. Ambience was far better than any other buffet restaurants. A must visit for sure.

Very good food and ambience. Nice starter and good main course. Very nice service and good staff. Better than barbeque nation in very affordable price.
Sony Thadani
This is my second time in The Grand Buffet and it was as amazing as earlier<br/>The food is good and so is the ambiance <br/>Also, they have recently introduced a live pasta counter and it was quiet delicious <br/>They do not just pull money out from your pockets<br/>It’s worth the price you pay!

I have been a very loyal customer to THE GRAND BUFFET (Seasons Mall, Magarpatta)<br/>Going with that intensity with the entire family, I had to visit THE GRAND BUFFET (Viman Nagar)<br/>Beautiful and Admirable place....Truly arousing.<br/><br/>Table booked in advanced -(2 hr before reaching)<br/><br/>Place where all the living beings eat, sleep & work together. We had warmly been welcome and informed that sea food is finished sir, if you want to eat chicken or mutton we are here to offer.<br/><br/>Glad welcome with limited menu, staff is so responsive that live charcoal had to light it up again.<br/><br/>Very mesmerizing place, captains are so upto the mark that they turn off the AC's n TV's to make their customers run away.<br/><br/>As half n hr passed eating the starters, I had to look at the deserts. But cherry on top #STAFF had to ans that deserts are empty sir!<br/><br/>As the line suggests, place where living beings eats, sleeps-kindly take a look in the image below. <br/><br/>#Cockroaches running in & out of the buffet (image)<br/>#Cold food served<br/>#Staff least bothered with customers<br/>#Place where you should AVOID<br/>#GRAND BUFFET - NOT THAT GRAND ANYMORE
Ankit Verma
First thing do not compare every BBQ with BBQ nation,I am not happy with the service.<br/>They don't have proper staff to handle customers.In desert you will get Sivaiya kheer,gulab jamun,caramel pudding(out of stock) and ice cream(bad quality) just to complete the count of items.they usually do not refill the items,So don't expect good things,Main course you will get methi malai panner and bhindi ki sabji :( and for roti you have to give the count,how many roti you want.<br/>Waiter will ask you so many times "Sir roti kitni lekar aau 1 ya 2 "<br/>-First trick to fill your tummy,they serve items made from Potato (veg crispy and aalo tikki),then some sort of complimentary drink in small serving <br/>-BBQ only you will get paneer,mashroom and tasteless potato(Note to Grand Buffet:Add some spices to add flavour on it ) copied from the BBQ nation<br/>-Fruits-You will get the pineapple with the spikes on it,bad quality watermelon with seeds and papaya<br/><br/>Taste - 2.5<br/>Ambiance- Good 4<br/>Value for Money - 3

I was stranger to this place, one of friend has recommended me to visit here I came here with my team for get together at lunch season, really it was a very good experience .
Deepa Nath
One of the best places i found in Pune for a BBQ. i use to always go to BBQ Nation but after visiting Grand Buffet I would suggest this place over BBQ Nation. we had gone with family on the occasion of my Hubby's bday.. one good thing is that our table was kept ready on booking. starters and main course was good but the white sauce pasta on the live counter was outstanding. i would have given 5* if the deserts had some more options. overall a good experience.<br/><br/>Food - 4<br/>Ambiance - 5<br/>Service - 5
Sarat Pakal
Had come for my company get together here on a weekend. Got the table on time and the starters were flowing in within 5-7 Mins we sat on table. the starters options were good. I personally liked Prawns alot and even the paneer was fresh and soft. going to main course - the adraki bhindi wad good and even Mutton Rogan Josh was fabulous. Definitely this is a most economical place in town for a BBQ.
Kush Kumar
Starter Afghani Prawns, was one of my favorite dish. Starter Was Excellent, Main Course Were Very Excellent too..  Manish, Served The Table Very Excellently.<br/>  & My Family was very happy and pleased with the food..
Rohit Palsule
Gave 1 star because there is no negative rating system provided. Worst place ever to have food. The food provided was not fresh at all. Bread had fungus. AC was switched off don’t know why. Dim lights were a major turn off most importantly food provided was a disaster...waste of money moreover the food which we wanted to have was either finished or not provided
Isha Chaudhari
The cuisine includes everything from Tandoor, to North Indian to chienese. <br/>Ambiance is a little dark and maybe the service of the waiters might not impress you as good as the BBQ Nation. <br/>The desserts are limited to the Indian cuisine only. So, they might not surprise you or excite you!!<br/><br/>Better to visit only once maybe?!!
Arun Rs
Absolute disappointment...😬😬 I went first time to have food with my office mates. <br/>Bad meal, bad service. Not particularly cheap.<br/>My advice would be don't bother, walk on by there's plenty of choice.<br/>Never recommending this to anybody..
Supriya Maheshwery
Awesome place in a reasonable price....nice buffet ..corn chat paneer tikka shahi toast everything was good in taste nd never had so yum daal makhani.... ambiance nd service both were good....worth to go..
Rahul
Worst customer service ever. Had to wait for 45 min although the booking was done before. <br/><br/>No quality food. Had to wait for almost 15 min every time a starter were served. They had only prauns and chicken. No fish no mutton. <br/><br/>Asking about the food about starter they just apologize its over. <br/><br/>Main course weren't refiled. Had to eat the last remaining food which was not good at taste. <br/><br/>Desserts were over tooo. Had to ask a person to take out the last remainng icecream from the bucket. <br/><br/>Pathetic. Wont recomend it to anyone .
Vivek Singh
A very pocket friendly buffet in town. Would like to rate this restaurant on the below points.<br/>Food - Non veg starters were really good, specially Mutton & Fish:). Main Course had ample varieties and was properly served. Not to miss the deserts.<br/>Ambiance - Decent Atmosphere and the best part was the space. <br/>Service - Service was also above average and staff were really cooperative.<br/><br/>Suggestion - May be the mock tail/welcome drink should be improved and can have different options.<br/><br/>Overall - 4/5. Keep up the good work.
Kalaivani Krishnamourthy
The ambience was great. The quality and the taste of the food is awesome. The service was good and friendly. Overall a must try restaurant for buffet and barbeque
Sneha Saxena
One star for service and another for ambiance. Food was not good. Starter was poor...nothing spcl in main course and dessert. Only kulfi was good.
Deepak Tripathi
I love the concept of unlimited buffet dining, it comes with both the perks I love. Unlimited starters and unlimited sweets. But still one has to keep the basics in mind, first poor food doesn't make up for good surrounding or anything else for that matter and second poor service can be tolerated only if food is excellent and it doesn't cost this much.<br/>Both cases are not true here, food is not great, service is not great and cost is also high. All things compared with other options available in competition.
Madhu Saini
I went for the dinner here , their food was tasteless and at the time of billing they refused to swipe the card and gave reason that our swipe machine is not working probably they are taking cash payments and not paying tax on that amount. Totally bad experience...worst place
Rohan Shetye
Food was good but lacked variety that you expect from a buffet. Crab curry and Prawns were excellent but did not find chicken upto the mark. Not much of variety in deserts, just basic options. Main Course was fine. Staff was very courteous. Billing was an issue as the swipe machines were not working and had to run to ATM to withdraw cash.<br/>Overall it was an OK experience. Could make it better by adding more variety and fixing the billing issue.
Rina Rai
Ambience - the tables are placed with good spacing between them to accomodate the patrons well. The interiors are decent and nothing gaudy about it. <br/><br/>Food Spread - the variety and preparation of food is above average. Special mention for the sweets that were served. <br/><br/>Price - one of the most value for money buffet in this area
Swarnava Goswami
We visited this place a few days ago when the Goan Food Festival was going on.<br/>First things first - the food...was okay type. The staters are 3on skewers and the rest in plate. They tasted good. Main course was very mainstream with not much variety in salads and veggies. We tasted quite a few items and it was above average.<br/>We quite liked the surmai fry in live counter which was a part of the Goan Festival.<br/>In dessert, the Fruits were stale and smelling. Ice cream had finished and a fresh stock came up 20mins after informing it had finished.<br/>Staffs are very friendly and nice to talk to.<br/>Ambience was nice.<br/>Altogether it deserves a rating of 3.5/5<br/>
Sharath Chandra M.S.
Went in for a dinner buffet, although the variants in starters were limited to FRENCH FRIES and other potato dominated dishes, the main course was a little better.
TheVegFoodie : Chintan
This is a budget buffet. Cost me around 500 per person. It has fusion of many items but mainly india.<br/>Not all the items tastes great. And the service needs to be improved. Bbq is very bad.<br/>Recommended - Dal makhani, Kulfi and chinese.<br/>
Vishal Gore
Nice place friendly environment we celebrate birthday party with family good Verity of food the fish taste was awesome. great food quality along with best food service. Special thanks to Mr. Sandip <br/>We love the place definitely will visit again
Chhandak Chakraborty
The most pathetic and worst buffet experience one can ever have. That's what summarizes my experience over here. Starting from the chicken, fish starters to desert through main course - everything is tasteless. The waitors are not professional and untrained, they don't understand anything. The looks and interior decorations are the only thing good and for which I have put 2 points as rating. Only the surmai and banra fish fries were good. But why on earth you would spend a 499+tax for that??
Iamafoodie
Grand buffet it is indeed. Varieties of starters is good.<br/>Service is fine..waiters dnt pay much attention.As compare to price food is good.They have less variety in desserts.<br/>Food-4/5<br/>Service-3.5/5<br/>Ambience-4/5
Bon Viveur
Great ambience. If you are searching for an alternate to Barbeque Nation with a cheaper price, then it’s your place. All food were fresh.<br/>Mutton Rogan josh is a must try. I will give the food 4 out of 5. Ambience 5 out of 5. Service 4 out of 5.
Mariyah Rehmani
Came here for new years eve and had a terrible experience. Although the ambiance is good, the servers arent timely, the meat was undercooked and almost all the food was flavorless. The drinks in the buffet package were laughable- lemonade was basically sugar water. Was looking to have a memorable time to mark the end of the year and ended up extremely disappointed instead. Floors were dirty and unkept. Extremely unhappy :( was expecting more.
Nishad Patil
Heard of its Goan food festival and read reviews which were quite astonishing.....which temped me to try this place....to my surprise It was nothing like the reviews on Zomato or for what I have heard of.......they had removed all regular starters from their grills and there were only fish on offer which were not up to the mark as well......tried tawa prawns and surmai fry.....firstly the tawa prawns were not cleaned at all half the prawns had skin on it and it was fried as it is i doubt they had even clear the fish properly....surmai fry was also not fried and was totally tasteless.... and too add to it they had removed all chicken items from there starters list it was very limited on offer....overall the service was also very poor.....water was also served almost after an hour when we had already asked the waiter for it nearly 3 4 times .....even welcome drinks were served only once.....and after all the suffering for starters when we jumped on the desserts than we were disappointed over there as well as their ice cream freezer was broken and all the ice cream had melted......<br/>To sum it up it was a horrible experience all together and total waste of money wont recommend Amy one to visit the place again...<br/>
Sanket Tambe
Mismanagement at its best. I visited on the 31st December for linch buffet and I am sorry to say I regret my decision. The so called 'Goan food festival' is a total farce. They had placed a live grill which served uncooked fish. The prawns were not even cleaned properly and tasted terrible. Other starters were not served untill you reminded them 4-5 times. Service was pathetic. We asked them for water which came after an hour after we had sat down to eat. Main course and desserts were fine. To sum up, it was a total waste of time and money.
Sonali Gupta
Food quality is very good.service is awesome and staff is quite attentive and co operative and take proper care of their customers.Manager of service department is very helpful and courteous<br/>Overall good experience.
Kaustubh Arun Shinde
Really one of the best place in pune for foodies. Delicious food. As compared to bbq nation Grand buffet all time best. Price is also worth. Very good staff. Various food varieties available.
Yogi Chavan
Had gone for lunch <br/><br/>Ambiance - 3.5 <br/>Food - 3 <br/>Quality - 3 <br/>Service - 3.5 <br/><br/>It's not exactly in Phoenix but it's outside but it's part of Phoenix... Yup even I was confused a bit.. anyways. In all good place cost wise

Took great care and managed in a proper way... Good quality was good with Goan festival going good varieties of Buffet.. kitchen staff needs to be more hygienic... overall good experience will recommend to my friends and visit soon again!!!
Nupoor Waghela
Good food, very good service, attentive and polite staff. A must visit place! Certainly Value for money! Would recommend it to all..........
Obed Daruwala
Horrible food. Tasted as if it is 2-3 days old. 2 people out of 5 in our group had stomach upset. Manager runs away if asked to talk. Food was so bad, it was giving pungent smell from a distance. I had visited The Grand Buffet at seasons mall last year and that was very good. But this is pathetic. Manager tries to blame the chef for it when you finally get a hold of him. Never visiting again even if it's free.
Prathamesh
Had gone to this place for team lunch. The place is though situated in the east court of Phenoix mall, but some how didn't hook up with the environment which we find in old phenoix mall restaurants. Ambiance is the only thing that is pretty good. When we went to this place, we found that we were the only people in whole vicinity. Coming to food, I had few varieties of chicken starters, none of them were tasty or up to the mark. Either they were uncooked , Under cooked or extremely overcooked. Prawns were best in taste. Initially when they started bringing the food, all the food started to fall in the BBQ. It even became difficult to even breath. Mutton was too salty. Fish was good. Coming to the main course, they had wide variety of options available & compared to starters, the main course & desert was better but still lagged the taste. Overall we had an average experience.<br/><br/>Ambiance : 4/5<br/>Food Quality : 2/5<br/>Service : 3/5<br/><br/>Prathamesh
Dr Rohit
The grand buffet is quite nice place. The buffet is good in such a less cost. In INR 499, the buffet is really worth. The starters were good though I thought there were more options of non veg starters than veg but the taste was really good. The main course was also tasty. The star of the whole buffet was the sweet dish:- gulab jamun and kheer.<br/>Nice place to hang out and have buffet. Don't expect anything lyk barbeque nation. But yeah, in such a low price, u will not be disappointed also.
Nilesh Gugale
Poor management. Don't go for a Team events. They can not handle large no of people. Service is just OK. For Veg not much options..<br/>Pineapple in barbecue is worst.<br/>Much delayed service. Food quality is just OK.
Anup Pawar
Worst food . worst management . food quality is also bad. its too bad to eat. we have to wait for the food to be served for a hour. my suggestion is if you cant serve the max number of people, please dont say we can manage or we have that much of staff And the worst part is they are serving to other people who came later. thats not a good management.
Satish Chopade
We were here for team lunch ,the service is too slow and food is not as good as BBQ, it’s not even worth paying for 499. At first we got some starters but after that we have to wait for longer time to refill the starters. Not a good place to visit.
Nakul Jain
Good experience. Cool sitting arrangement. Nice serving team and administration. Good in price range.<br/>Can visit with very longgggg team.<br/><br/>Can improve in service delivery faster and different symbol setup between veg and nonveg serve.
Chaitanya Tallam
I came here for a team party. The ambience is the only thing which is good. Sad to say had a bad experience with food and service. Starters were served very slowly and the barbeque sticks were filled up only when they were called for tht too took a long time. And guess what they used to keep the corn and bananas frequently and paneer was served after long interval. Same case with non veg starters. And they also don't have any sauces kept for the starters. And the taste of starters were blunt. Tasteless. Infact all the starters were tasteless. Now coming to main course same case here tasteless in case of veg and non veg. Deserts were also average.and tht too no special dish all were normal gulab jamun, balushahi, etc. Only good thing was kulfi as I suppose it was not prepared there so it was good. Seriously something wrong with this restaurant and chef and service. Waste of money. My advice do not visit this place try somewhere else. Disappointed with this. :(
Travelyaara
As its a buffet , Please see other reviews also as i am vegetarian I will be reviewing for veg dishes . <br/>ambiance -ok<br/>Food - bad <br/>Service - more bad <br/><br/>This place is not good at all total waste for money the starters were tasteless except the aloo tikki and mushroom  it had some taste i can say <br/><br/>Starters / barbecue : <br/>Crispy veg <br/>Aloo tikki<br/>Mushrooms<br/>Banana <br/>Pane-er<br/>Veg seekh kebab<br/><br/>Main course <br/>Bhindi fry - good <br/>Mushroom masala-- this was still ok <br/>Kofta - not cooked properly  it was still raw <br/>Dal makhani<br/>Yellow Dal <br/>rice <br/>Fried rice <br/>Noodles : again tasteless <br/>Dessert: Gajar ki kheer - it was ok <br/>Gujia - not good <br/>Kulfi - good <br/>Ice cream<br/>Gulabjamun - which was good <br/><br/>Thats it for Veg . I would say please invest some more and go to another buffet instead of going this place <br/><br/>Staff : Staff was rude and they were arguing with us all the time .Service is really poor .<br/><br/>Ambiance : Its good but they need maintainance for the furniture .<br/><br/>I have give 2 only for ambiance and  some dishes from main course were ok thats why .
Aftab Rahman
I have been here twice...pathetic service..service is very slow...everytime i have to tell them to serve starters...they dont even bothered to see if the food is over or still there...the food is not even hot sometimes...once they have given me stale food..worst service..i ll never recommend anyone..
Aliasghar Fakhri
Customer service is really bad. Waiter looks at you very condescendingly for some reason. Chicken starters are overcooked and sparse. Would not visit again.
Deepak Giri
Food: taste is nothing to be remembered for. Less than average. Also it gets finished soon.<br/><br/>Service: although waiter looking after our table was good & prompt but the problem is with management. Food gets over very soon and main course dishes are just left with gravy. Really are you serious that for a "buffet" place??? <br/>On last occasion when I went there for the first time during initial days of this restaurant 2-3 years back then everything was awesome and I had rated 5 as well but looking at the current situation I would say avoid this place.<br/><br/>To add salt to the wound, when you just enter the restaurant, rather than being greeted you are said like 3.30 pm is the closing time even though you are just about entering at 2 pm. What sort of behavior is that?? Failed to understand. Do you ever tell your guests about when they need to exit.
Prerona Dutta
Value for money 5/5<br/>Ambience 4/5<br/>Customer service 4.5/5<br/> Variety 3.5/5<br/> Undoubtedly a value for money buffet. The prawn n chicken starters are really tasty. The main course too was good in variety n taste. Undoubtedly a good place if u want to be happily filled
Amar
One of the best buffet I have had in pune.. Spread is large and starters are good and tasty.. Staff is very courtageous.. Would love to visit again
Kedar Narwadkar
We went to this place for a team lunch , we had made prior bookings but still it took them some time to make arrangements for 30 people , the hall was full , it seems they had last minute walk in of about 50 people which caused chaos , the food was served half cooked , chicken and mutton was stinky , there was so much rush that even the plates were not available nor the spoons , and to top it my colleague found a metal wire in his food , after repeated complaint the manager gave is the discount of just 2 people. For such substandard food the cost was totally not justified.
Nikhil Shinde
Not a good experience to say and to start with the review. Had far more expectations as it has won best restaurant award for last year. <br/>I was here with my family and cousin. Me and wife had to shop something from Phoenix mall so my cousin headed with my kids to the grand buffet since it was getting late for them to dine and they were hungry. We finished our shopping and reached the grand buffet to find out that my kids were not served a single starter. My cousin had requested the service staff twice to start with service but they were busy attending other tables.<br/>Coming to the food part. Veg startes were not good at all except veg crispy . Non veg starters were good could have been better. Mutton seek kebab did not taste like mutton and could taste all different flavours in it. Prawns were not marinated as required. <br/>The main course non veg gravy dishes were the best part of the meal. Specially the crab curry. Did not had much space to taste biriyani cos had to give a shot at the sweet section. Sweet section was a disaster to be precise. It had the classic gulab jam, seviya kheer(lack of sweetness), banana pooding(usually served in hostels) , kesar barfi(just for the name sake), kunjiya, cut fruits, vanilla and chocolate ice cream( so hard to take a scoop out of it I had call the service staff for help).<br/>As you can see in the picture a service station just beside our table was used to keep food to be served as well has soiled cutlery. This was most disappointing.<br/>Food - 3.5*<br/>Service - 3*<br/>Ambieance - 3.5*
Sunil
Visited this place for first time . Ambience looks good but.. food is exactly opposite.. needs extra variety. Service also needs improvement... overall taste is average..
Shefali
The food was decent but the service was extremely poor even though the place was moderately crowded. <br/><br/>Dishes in buffet not being re-filled, barbeque skewers with just single piece of chicken or potato for a table of 6, having to shout to get waiters' attention, etc. are just some of the examples.<br/>They have to really pull up their socks if they hope to become a success. Almost all the the tables around us were voicing the same complaints to the manager.
Sandeep Ahuja
visited this grand buffet with friends and have mix of experience..<br/>price was pocket friendly.. number of dish was also good.. ambience was cool..
Kapil Desai
I seriously dont understand the reason for such a poor rating 🙄.This place is, was and will always be fantabulous.The variety of food ,the ambience ,the taste and but ofcourse the buffet prices are not something to miss.Though i have been here only twice since its a little far my house this place has never disappointed me and i just love it.
Upasana Shah
A below average experience. Starter,main course, deserts, everything was just ok ok. The desserts were very upsetting, low quality, no variation. Not worth a visit.
Onkar Deglurkar
Food: is average in taste can't really make it up to the ambiance created, be it starters or main course the options available are limited same is the case with deserts not at all grand, you expect more from a buffet place in good location. Would specially mention the saffron kebabs served during my visit was too disappointing. Salads were good tough. <br/><br/><br/>Service: we went for lunch a large group to try new place. The service was slow even if we were the only occupied table in whole restaurant.<br/><br/>Ambiance created is nice.
Rahul Joshi
AWESOMENESS is FOOD<br/><br/>Had a super GRAND Buffet hear. 😋<br/><br/>Super Ambience, humble staff.<br/><br/>FOOD:- I will let pics to do the script.....<br/>Must have- baby prawns, fish in mustard sauce, crab curry, mutton roghanjosh, chicken chatpata curry, mashroom Tikka, aarbi Tikka, chicken thousand island salad.<br/>Sweets AKA...life :- gulabjamun, banana custard, savai kheer, Kulfi (gulkand/malai)<br/><br/>Great place to visit along with friends and family..pretty pocket friendly as well.
Jaideep Joshi
Its a cheaper substitute to barbecue nation. And cheaper in all sense. Limited variety and the food is ether over cooked or under cooked. The grill items should be semi cooked and not fully cooked. In Kheer i could taste raw milk... unprofessional...
Aakash Kaushik
Went to the grand buffet yesterday along with my friends. They have there anniversary special offer going on so the buffet is priced at 499 per person.<br/>The ambience is good, but a bit suffocating due to the live grill i guess.<br/>Offers a decent choice of starters for vegetarians and non- vegetarians. The maincourse was also decent, dal makahni was good.<br/>Desert was a disappointment as the expections were a bit high.<br/>Enjoyed kulfi( only 2 flavors) , moong dal halwa and gulab jamun.<br/>Overall a decent experience and can be visited again<br/>My ratings :-<br/>Taste - 4<br/>Ambience - 3.5<br/>Service - 3.5 ( slow)<br/>Value for money - 4.5<br/>Overall - 3.5<br/>Happy fooding :)
Deepdisha Ahya Doshi
Like the name suggests, the setting is truly grand. Huge space and a lavish seating arrangement. This is a value for money buffet place. <br/>In some earlier reviews, I read about this place being compared to BBQ Nation. Well, you can't compare the two because their formats are slightly different. <br/>Bbq starters are much varied and tasty. Whereas Grand Buffet had about four or five options only. The live grill on your table reminds you of BBQ though.<br/>Being vegetarian, we enjoyed the arbi starter as well as the paneer starter. The main course was okay. The dal makhani was watery. Yellow dal was good. Bhindi masala was more like home fare. Methi matar malai was really good. Paneer was chewy. Roti & naan were good. The tomato soup was excellent. <br/>Desserts were nice because I prefer Indian sweets over cakes and brownies. The moong dal halwa was awesome. Gulab jamuns were succulent. The kulfi flavours were also good. Ice cream was watery snd already melting.<br/>Overall, a satisfactory experience. A good place if you want to stuff yourself and have a good appetite. <br/>We skipped dinner after lunch at the grand buffet. ☺<br/>Value for money. Might visit again. <br/><br/>
Ruchi Jain
The place is bit fancy...but the food is not that great... would have been much better with more options....plus the lightings are soo dim that you can't even see others face properly.
Pratikpadia
Not at all good. <br/>Please increase variety with good taste. Curry was not at all hot also.<br/>In the starter, who will give only sweet potatoes,fried corn! <br/>You could have made cutlet or spring roll. Roti was made from meda and that too not properly cooked.<br/>Please increase variety and proper taste of food.<br/>I suggest not to go. They sell 70 rs thali in 700rs!!
Charlton Fernandes
Having tried a lot of restaurants with similar theme, I was not expecting anything extraordinary from this one. The food was average overall. Best dishes was the chicken tangdi kebabs and chicken salad. Rest of the items were average to poor like the prawns. Both the prawn dishes did not have any flavour in them. At one point while eating the prawns I wonder if I was really having prawns or something else. There was nothing special in the dessert section too.<br/><br/>The restaurant was very poorly managed when it comes to the glasses. The glasses were used serve cold drinks. There were used glasses everywhere: on the table you are being seated, under the table, in the waiting area, on the buffet table etc. It almost felt like I was in one of those "We don't care about ambience" kind of bars. On top of that, there was a mouse crawling on the water sprinklers on the roof.
Radha
Awwwwsm is a word for my experience here...Amazing food comforting ambience variety of menu.... U name it and they have it....good value for money....do try the fish specially...for Non lovers...and believe me I just cannot pick one thing from the Veg menu....I just loved all of it....do try it.......
Naveen Harwani
Great variety in buffet but the choice in grill is less....can be improved as well as the veg variety is less......and dessert are also just ok....but if u r hungry....dn its totally d best place to go!
Vijay Nar
Gooooooood food and quality service can be improved and more of chicken items can be added to the menu ...and can also add more varieties in the main course specially chicken one dish is not sufficient
Milin Gaarrud
Something different.!!!<br/><br/>Good place for non vegetarian people. Found little bit chaotic ☺️. Felt like attending someone's wedding . <br/><br/>Overall food quality is good👍
Sachin Salunkhe
1. A very crowdy and loud place, not so pleasant.<br/>2. Waiters are very slow.<br/>3. Prawns are average intaste,whereas fish they provide is worst.<br/>4. Don't even compare this place to barbeque nation.
Rethu Pillai
Average spread of dishes, barbeque is not upto the mark. The overhyped crab curry was just average, mutton curry wad good. The overall food experience was average
Pushkar Mate Patil
The place for foodie (Barbeque Lovers)<br/><br/>This place is similar to barbeque nations who servers chicken, fish, mutton and prons in starters on barbecue grill. They have many other items in starters main course and in deserts. You can hardly taste everything. Variety of items in desert and chat are little bit less than barbeque nations.<br/>In term of food quality fish and prons weren’t so great otherwise everything was good.<br/><br/>Ambience is very good. If you are planning to visit here please do booking in advance as this place is generally crowded. They offers many food items in less price than barbeque which is a nice thing about them. <br/><br/>This is a great place to visit with your friends or office colleagues.<br/><br/>Staff is nice and service is little slow if we compare it with barbeque nations.<br/><br/>Overall Ratings-<br/><br/>Ambience- 4.5/5<br/>Service- 3.5/5<br/>Food- 4/5<br/>Value for money- 4.5/5
#FoodFrenzy
On a Friday afternoon we dropped into the phoenix mall for lunch. A very vibrant entrance made us walk into the grand buffet. A spacious interior welcomes you to this buffet serving restaurant. We came to know that its their anniversary period and they are giving away buffet at 499/- all incl. <br/><br/>The starters were served on the table in a barbecue fashion. The variety had mutton sheekh, chicken, prawns, fish, paneer, mushrooms 🍄 and more. Side items like tandoori drumsticks, chicken manchurian were also offered. <br/><br/>In the salad, they had a couple of chicken salads, pasta salad, sprouts and corn. I did not try the lung fung soup. <br/><br/>In the main course, they had fish, mutton and brilliant butter chicken. They also had chicken biryani and some Chinese stuff like noodles. <br/><br/>The desserts comprised of gulab jamun, kheer, couple of bengali sweets and ice cream/ assorted kulfi. <br/><br/>Overall for a price tag or 499/- I haven’t been to a better buffet in Pune.

Pathetic service very disappointed.<br/>Food was okay so thats why 2 star .<br/>Really disappointed. Please look in to the matter service was really pathetic . I am definitely not going to reccomend this to any one

First of all if you want any affordable buffet restaurant then go for this restaurant. Its exact copy of bbq nation but the difference is only their freebies and varieties of food. Firstly You'll get served with drink which is not cold and tasteless. Then live bbq, chicken, prawns, fish and some chinese stuff also. The main course - less varieties only biryani is good, and dessert - uh let it be. Guyz you'll react the same after seeing the dessert. Overall i loved only Live bbq. I hardly recommend it.

I had been to this place after great deliberation and was pleasantly suprised by the ambience and service.Must say the service was good and the staff is quite courteous.The food was good if not great..but its quite decent match for the the price! Overall after a good shopping spree..good place to relax you sore feet and feed your hungry tummy!

Very bad experience . Non veg starters seemed stale and was tasting bad. Service was also not very good and the complete room was filled with smoke. For a little higher price I would recommend people to visit barbeque nation. Would not recommend this place for non veg lovers.Priyanka Naik Gaonkar

We had been here for buffet of 575 . <br/>The starters are of limited quantity. You would get 6 nonveg starter and 5 veg . The quality of the food was very poor .<br/>The chicken is not cooked properly and not well marinated with the spices.<br/>All the starters lacked spices and they were blend.<br/>Coming to main course, the biryani was not good .Pulao was ok. The main course was average .<br/>The desserts again we're not great . The kulfi had no flavour and was just ice .<br/>Also the ice cream s were not good .<br/>Overall it's not a good place for buffet .

Pathetic experience - We went there at Saturday evening for dinner  - But the Service and Food both were really pathetic.<br/>Firstly we had to wait for almost 15 mins before any waiter could attend to our table, and then he put some of the starters and disappeared again! We called him for the remaining starters and refill - and he then brought these. It felt like we were begging for food :-)<br/>The quality of starters is not be something which needs a mention. The Crispy Vegetables, were so stale and nowhere CRISPY!<br/>On the main course, the Paneer Manchurian Gravy, had only GRAVY and NO PANEER :-) Even after complaining twice to the staff about this, this was not sorted till we ended our dinner.<br/><br/>And mind it - this was Saturday evening when the restaurant had about 40% occupancy, so you guys can understand what would be the freshness of food and service level on weekdays when there is even lesser occupancy.<br/><br/>Not to be visited again - This restaurant is a bad spot on Buffet Restaurants where Service and Food quality both are above average.

Had been there 3-4 times...they offer a huge variety of starters and main course dishes! The quality if food is very nice.Hospitality is really very good...Its a must visit place.
Jatin Manaktala
Every time I visit this place I have returned with a big smile :) even today we had an awesome time... food was great... starters had lot of variety and were the main attraction... total we had some 7-8 starters.. whatever little space was left in stomach was taken by little main course which had huge varieties but didn’t have appetite to taste everything... baby corn masala was d best in main course... in deserts I had Shahi tukda and Gulab jamun followed by maws kulfi... all 3 were 10/10<br/><br/>Ambience and service was also very good... after all, got everything listed above in just 575+taxes which was I think a great deal that too on a weekend...

This place doesn’t even deserve a rating of 1. It’s such a disgusting place with no value for customers. <br/><br/>On Saturday I purchased coupons on nearbuy for 4 at the Grand Buffet. Early bird offer (technically there wasn’t any offer) <br/>Decided to take my family there for dinner, so we went to the Phoenix outlet. <br/>A nice looking place, we settle in and my brother went to the manager to show him the coupons, the manager scans and redeems all the coupons and then conveniently tells me that they don’t have any such tie up with nearbuy.com neither do they have any offers. You’ll have to pay first before you eat, while I’ve already paid around Rs. 2500/- while buying the voucher. <br/><br/>After showing the offer on the app and their outlets, he kept refusing to accept and started speaking in a rude tone. So I told him I’ll call customer care and let’s get a clarity. His response,’ humare sare customers ke complaints hote hai toh unke numbers hum Rakhte hai aur unse jo dushmani hai wo bhi hum dekhte hai. Aap number do!!’ He started behaving in a rude manner and was yelling back at us, not willing to tell us his name. <br/>And he starts walking out slyly. Obviously we didn’t let him go, then he spoke to someone from the other outlet and I made him speak to nearbuy customer care as well.Then he says, “oh I didn’t know and I’ve been unaware of any such tie up. So you can sit.”<br/><br/>What a shitty manager. We had been extremely polite but the restaurant was least interested in customers. Didn’t even say sorry once till we walked out of the restaurant.<br/><br/>Definitely not recommended only because they have zero respect for customers.<br/><br/>Uploaded pics- <br/>- when I bought the coupons<br/>- Manager redeemed them as well and then says he doesn’t have a clue<br/>- the manager who was most disrespectful <br/>

Been here atleast 5-6 times the food is quite good, it's more of a barbecue place. The non veg options are really great u can gorge on the starters. The main course options need some variations even though they take a back seat because by the time Ur done with the starters Ur too full. The main course options have always been the same whenever we have visited.
Lokesh Routray
Everything was nice in terms of starter, maincourse or dessert ..And the hospitality waa also good..we like everthing at grand buffet n wish the team a happy diwali
Srushti Lokhande
Ambience/ Service - 3/5<br/>Starter - below average. BBQ not that great/ not grilled properly (at room temperature/ not served hot)<br/>Main course - Average<br/>Desert - 👍🏻<br/>Chat - 👍🏻👍🏻
Sahil Khan
Worst experince ever if anyone is going there plzzzz dont go its all about waste of money and time dont go plzzzzz its all bullshit nothing is good there even service is also not good.
Sayali Ahire
Our office team of 15 people went there. Taste is not that better. The bad part was the service those guys giving was not good at all. Veg course was good as compared to non veg.
Nidhi Arora
Pathetic place......Very bad experience<br/>Food quality is very bad and service tooo...<br/>Wastage of money...Definitely barbeque nation rocks....<br/>
Ruchi Sharma
There is nothing Grand about the buffet except the name. Less variety, below average food, eatable only when you are hungry enough to eat anything.
Shashank Tripathi
I went there with my friends couple days back. The food is okayish but the place is unhygienic. I saw a big black rat crawling here and there , maybe i am the first one who noticed a pest in the place but the gist is they do have rats.
Vignesh Prem
Very lousy ambience and bad quality of food. Hardly had variety in their lunch buffet. <br/><br/>Just hop to copper chimney instead for unlimited kababs.
Allaboutfood
Around 20 of us went to this place for a birthday dinner. The ambience is average. They hardly have much options in starters. Nothing tasted great. Main course was equally bad. Overall it's a very very average place. Would never go again. Also very unorganized. Asked for a butter roti which came after 15 minutes without butter. <br/>The service is very haywire. They really need to improve on every aspect.
Shubham Kaushik
It is a great copied concept , but still nothing better than barbeque nation, the food was good but the service was pathetic as compared to the price which they charge
Anu Oommen
I have had the most pathetic experience at this place today (10th sept) we were here to celebrate my husbands birthday celebration, we had visited this place earlier last month where we liked the food so thought of coming along with our parents and relatives <br/>The starters this time wer below average and above all when we asked them to repeat the mutton seekh they served us with a stable mutton which I happened to even eat, after eating I realised that it was stale as it tasted bitter<br/>On complaining to the staff they were pretty normal about as if nothing ever happened <br/>I am trying to find a legal platform wherein I can complain about this and get their license cancelled for serving stale food and not even being apologetic about<br/>They spoilt our evening <br/>Ruined everything <br/>Please don't visit this place,ull shall surely regret
Deepak Nair
This place is good... Ambience is very good.. Food is really tasty.. Verity of items in starter and main course. The dessert is just ok ok not much options... There is no option of drinks... Not even soft drinks.. Which was really frustrating for a person like me who has soft drink with non veg.. Overall a good place and I will rate is 3 on 5.
Raghvendra Singh
I've been thrice to this place over last 1 year. Starters are okay, not great. Main course is absolutely pathetic. Be it veg or non veg. They used to charge 450-500 a year back which was OK for this compromised version of BBQ nation. But they've done so well in NOT improving at all that it amuses me. Such a prime location, huge space and staff, still the chefs cannot even cook a tasty daal. Totally decided that this was the last time I went there. <br/>If the owner of this chain is reading this, WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING? Such a big investment and that's the best you can do? I can cook main course 5 times better than your chef, and I'm far from being a cook. Horrible experience!
Shubha Parashar
We ordered a table from Zomato in advance. The place is located in the east court building of phoenix mall. The ambience of the place is simply good. But considering from point of unlimited buffet for a vegetarian you have some limited choices. Especially in the main course. Food tastes good. Staff is friendly.
Yashi Gandhi
Lovely place for buffet with huge variety of dishes.. They have very spacious seating arrangement.. Right from welcome drink to dessert everything was very tasty.. Went with my office team and we were almost 30 people but everyone was very happy with the service , taste and ambience.. Must go for brunch!<br/>Taste - 4.5/5<br/>Service - 5/5<br/>Ambience - 5/5<br/><br/> <br/>
FoodShastri
Review as on August 15th, 2017<br/><br/>Wanted to try this much-hyped buffet place from the time it has opened in Vimaan Nagar<br/><br/>Ambience: It is a huge dining area with the buffet kept in the centre of the hall<br/>. It has minimum lights thus giving a cosy effect<br/>Quantity: There are a lot of options in both veg & non-veg. Options available for sides as well. <br/><br/>Quality: The veg side was fantastic except the dishes of paneer. The quality of paneer was not "Great". The special mention goes to the "Gatte ki Curry" sabzi. It was made perfect.The non-veg variety was good. Special mention goes to "Fisk Curry" It was a delight.<br/>Wide options for desserts.Value for Money: Definitely, no difference in veg & non-veg prices.
Sammy Sosa
Perfect location and ambiance along with great hospitality but little lagging on the taste of food.. Welcome drink, lemonade was refreshing and they served Fanta thereafter during the course of meal.<br/><br/>Good variety of snacks in veg and non veg but most of them taste the same because of the similar preparation.<br/><br/>Dinner buffet was also ok but the tandoori breads Noodles were good with not much spices but others had a lot of masala in them..<br/><br/>Gulabjamun and kulfi were the main attraction in desserts along with Lauki Halwa and ice cream... Both, the small size gulabjamun and kulfi were good.<br/><br/>Higher pricing (INR575 + taxes) as compared to the food served. May be once visit worth..
Debasish Patnaik
Visited the restaurant on a Sunday afternoon, actually wanted to try somewhere other than barbecunation(though it's my all time favourite when it comes to buffet).Now let me review it on 2 major yardsticks<br/>1.FOOD VARIETIES AND PRESENTATION <br/> Non veg Starters served were good and they tasted upto the mark.<br/><br/> Main course was as expected in a buffet restaurant.<br/><br/>Dessert was a huge disappointment . No varieties<br/> and the available ones were far away from delicious.<br/>No live counter :(<br/><br/>It was a 2.5/5 for food<br/><br/>2.STAFF COURTESY AND HOSPITALITY<br/><br/>Though they were courteous but they look less cared for their customer.<br/>2.5/5<br/><br/>OVERALL<br/>So it was a total 2.5/5 overall
Dinesh Pawar
I had been in lots of buffets in pune but Grand buffet is worst from all of them. Ambiance seems pretty fine. I was very excited on seeing the menu on paper but when in actual I taste the food was very worst taste is very very very bad. although menu food menu and quality is very poor. specially I like starters and desert but its quality is very poor. in desert there is sheera, kheer, balushai, cut fruits only thing i like here is icecream.
Harmeet Chhabda
Pathetic service by the management. U guys spoiled my daughters 1st bitrthday. Initially the manager Mr Lilen said that we dont decorate the place u will have to do it on ur own. Then later on he takes the material from us and assures us that he will get the work done and said us to pay their boys which i agreed. But to my surprise when we reach the place they dint do any thing and the manager said sorry i forgot. And when my guest arrived they say that there is no such birthday booking over here.<br/>Service was poor. Food was not that good. Had liked the food on my 1st visit but they dissappointed me this time. A big no no to this place. Will never visit again.
Gaurav Purohit
Overrated !!! <br/><br/>Food is not worth the money for !!! Starter sucks to the core !!! Paneer was like rubber not only in starter but in main course as well.<br/><br/>Very much disappointed with the food!! <br/><br/>Rating<br/><br/>Food: 1/5<br/>Ambience: 3/5<br/>Service: 3/5<br/>Music: 2/5<br/><br/>Note: think twice before you go if you are foody !!!

This place is i feel much hyoed. Food quality Service quality people management display of food items hygiene and ambience all is almost average. Staff is helpless as they are serving excess crowd.. food display tags either not there or mismatched.. icecream box is open salad is spilling out of plates.. chicken fry is not fried well.. babycorns are several raw.. overall not a good experience at all. Below average if you compare with BBQ or SIGREE etc..

Excellent spread with a huge variety of maincourse and dessert .<br/>Ambience is also very royal and spacious unlike Other barbecue places .<br/>They let you sit and chat,enjoy your food with your loved ones and do not rush to clear the table so that others can occupy.<br/>Very well managed with waiters dressed up as pathans ! <br/>Must visit .. !

Recently visited Grand Buffet viman nagar . They were having kabab festival. The ambiance is good.<br/>I like the Buffet spread arrangements. Was wonderfully set up. The cutlery and pots were quite clean. Young people from nearby offices were having some celebration so the vibe was good and energetic. <br/>We were served cold drinks and starters which were obviously kababs and some chinese dishes.<br/>Being vegetarian we tried only veg starters. <br/>The kharya mitha paneer tikka was was good. Paneer was soft and juicy. Tandoori kumbh/mushroom kabab and malai kabab were mildly spiced and tasted nice. I liked yum gulati kebab, that's how it was written 😊. What was disappointing is the dahi kabab. I love dahi kabab and I was looking forward for this but it wasn't dahi kabab, however there was sourness of curd in it. However all chinese starters were tasty. Crisp and perfectly seasoned.<br/><br/>In main course they had four types of gravies which were quite good. The lasooni daal was too good.<br/>I enjoyed digging my spoon in chocolate ice cream. They do have few more desserts but I was full till then 😉<br/>

The Grand Buffet<br/>Date: 13-7-17<br/>Time: 8PM<br/>Venue: Phoenix mall<br/>The Grand Buffet is on the first floor of Phoenix mall, east court.<br/>I visited this place on an invitation.<br/>The Grand Buffet is a part of chain of restaurants around pune. This is a BBQ place with enough big buffet spread to satisfy you.<br/>The ambience is pretty impressive. They have a royal kind of vibe. Their staff is dressed as royal helpers. Ambience is very nice with proper lighting arraignments. Tables are well spaced and are big enough.<br/>Service is very quick. The smiling and helpful staff makes experience better. As it is buffet place it is self service, starters and BBQ is served at the table.<br/>Coming to the food.<br/>There were 6 different varieties in BBQ 3 veg and 3 non veg.<br/>Veg: Paneer tikka, mushrooms and tandoori aloo.<br/>Non veg: chicken sikh, fish and chicken kebabs.<br/>All the starters were well marinated. Live grill ads to the taste and flavour. Sikh kebabs were good. Properly seasoned and tender mutton.<br/>They have different starters also.<br/>Veg: subz galoti kebab, dahi ke pakode and crispy baby corn.<br/>Non veg: mutton galoti kebabs and chicken wings in Chinese sauce.<br/>They have spread of main course. Variety of veg and non veg items are available. In non veg they had mutton rogan josh, chicken do pyaja and fish red thai curry.<br/>They have noodles, fried rice, Chinese gravy and biryani.<br/>Desserts section has loads of options. Sweet spread will drool you.<br/>Overall experience was really good. For the amount they are charging it is value for money. They offer you big spread and it's light on pocket.<br/>

Best and try chicken wings and un limited food Best test deserts with 🍦and with bardiku and starter and main crose and have fun and have more info

Firstly let me start with the ambience. It's really royal! The food is really good too. I had the vegetarian barbecue and loved it. My hubby had non veg. He's a fan of this place now and insists going there all the time. Also from my experience the barbecue restaurants normally don't have a good main course. This place, however, is an exception. My husband loved the lal maas. And let me just say that they have the best dals in Pune. Quite like what you get in Delhi. Ooh and the showstopper for me was the dahi wada! I devoured it on our first visit. However, it was missing on our second visit. That disappointed me a lot because I had gone there specially for the dahi vada. Hopefully they'll have it on their menu permanently. The angoori gulab jamuns are delicious too. That the price is really reasonable is a cherry on top!
Sashank
Located at east court of Phoenix marketcity. Ambiance was nice and service from staff was quick. Food was ok , need to improve on the taste of starters and it's missing a few starters.<br/>Main course wasnt upto the mark, nothing out of the box<br/>Desserts were good with different varieties like kulfi, ice cream , gulab jamun , dahi wada etc.<br/>Price is reasonable 600<br/>Overall a good experience. But not preferred if u r going in a group of 5-6 or more .<br/>
Radson John
The Grand Buffet - (Pheonix Market City) <br/><br/>The experience was too good.<br/>Enjoyed the buffet.<br/>Ambience is superb<br/>Food was awesome<br/>They start serving from welcoming drink till dessert after the mix.<br/>Just price is high<br/>But satisfied.😊
Sayani Bose
The ambiance , sitting arrangement & the decoration was pretty good. The restaurant was very neat and clean. The waiters were well mannered also.<br/>But they need more training because they were slow in providing service!<br/>Now coming to the food - they buffet costs 600 per head including tax. Which is cheap actually. But with the cheap price the quality of the foods were also verry cheap! -_- <br/>Starter items were okay. But i think they should arrange more chicken item. In the main course mutton and biriyani both the items were tasteless! The chicken preparation was also very poor in taste! -_- <br/>In main course the noodles was something which i liked!<br/>Now in desert section gulab jamun was cute and tasty ❤ small in size but great in taste ✌<br/>Except that the sweets and cake was also good.<br/>The desert section was quite impressive. Then chocolate and vanilla ice creams were there. <br/><br/>They should increase the Quality of the food and as there was no cold drinks , they should add that too.
Siddharth Kumar Mahto
Great restaurant having lots delicious food there made by chefs 👍🍗<br/>Good service my the waiters keep it up guys! I'll be coming back soon to enjoy the delicious food.👌
Rishi Kadam
I booked this place for my birthday on 5th of may. There was karaoke at that time. The live music sounded well. The starters are really well cooked. The service lacks labour as the thing you order will take 10 mins to get to you. The main course was just fine. We had a great time there dancing and the crowd there is very friendly and supportive. Worth trying.
Sagar Patil
<br/>Waste of money & Time.<br/>One of Worst management Hotel ever I've seen.<br/>I had visited number of Buffet & Star hotels like, Sayaji, Blue lagoon, Marriott's. But I haven't experienced such arrogant management staff. Higher manager behaviour is like Desi Dhaba owner, he don't have manners how to deal with custome. Yahi bolna baki tha uska ki Aapko kisne bulaya tha. From last two weeks they don't have Card payment service.<br/>And one more thing..Just name is Grand Buffet they don't have varaiety of food. Don't have special & Different Veg & Non veg food. Buffet it means we are paying atleast ₹600. As of my experience waiter duty is to introduced special & crispy dishes. yaha pe hame hi puchana padta tha ye hai kya wo hai kya....Please don't try ....
Gargi Kulkarni
Went to this place to celebrate a special occasion.<br/>Ambience is very good.<br/>Hotel staff were polite. Could be more active though!<br/>Food: Starters both veg and non veg were really good.Main course was ok..could have been more beter. Dahi vada were really good. So the main highlights would be the starters!<br/><br/>P.S - weird point to mention but being a hotel should atleast have a washroom. Only basin are there :D
Ashle
I would say good food at reasonable cost.<br/>Place has got good ambience, good staff, food quality and variety may improve<br/>But overall experience was good i am satisfied.
Ishani Deshmukh
We were a group of 31 people. <br/>This place is really affordable for a big group, the service was excellent, and the food was amazing. We booked very last minute and they really helped us coordinate the whole party.<br/>The non vegetarian and vegetarian starters were delicious, and served on the barbecue.<br/>They also served a welcome drink, which was refreshing. <br/>There was a lot of variety in the main course as well.<br/>And for everyone the highlight was the deserts- 3 flavour of kulfi and soft, melt-in-mouth gulab jamuns, among other deserts. <br/>Definitely a 4 out of 5 for it's kind of a restaurant.
Garima Angel
Grand Buffet is really a great ambiance with a pocket friendly for a small party becoz many items available ND also fresh and yummy I will definitely come again with my friends <br/>Keep it up <br/>American great <br/>Food quality yummy
Hina Moolchandani
Ambience: Perfect for big lunch and dinner parties.<br/>Service : Extremely slow. The food was served after 1/2 an hour of our arrival.<br/>Food: Out of all the non veg starters, I only liked chicken munchurian and fish. Tangdi chicken was extremely bad and burnt.<br/>Main course: The main course was actually grand, lots of options in veg including Chinese and all.<br/>Non veg main course includes biryani, fish curry, methi chicken.<br/>Desserts included lovely gulab jaamun, strawberry pastries, baalushahi.<br/>Overall 3/5 , food and service definitely needs to improve<br/>
Mihir Patil
Ever been to a restaurant who refuses to give you the bill? Well, here's one! Will get to it at the end of my review. To start with, there is nothing grand about this buffet except for the ambience! Yes..you read it right. The food sucks and the management sucks too. Never compare it with Barbeque Nation or even the newly opened Barbeque Ville. This place isn't even 1% of those two places.<br/><br/>Ambience : It's quite good and royal but you go to a restaurant to have food and not ONLY for the ambience. I went there on a Saturday and it wasn't too crowded. Cooling was fine and the decor was nice too. 9/10 for ambience.<br/><br/>Food : Food sucks to the core. The grilled starters were stale and tasteless. The chicken starter wasn't even cooked properly. Prawns starter was barely noticeable because of the size of stale prawns. I have had food at various barbeque outlets but never ate such tiny prawns which were highly tasteless and stale. The fish starter was pathetic too. It had some different taste and I am not even sure if the fish was basa as it tasted weird. Maybe it was stale too so it tasted weird. The seekh kebab starter was just okay. Overall, the grilled starters were total disappointment. To top it all, the servers keep asking again and again if we need one more round of starters. Guys, why can't you keep on bringing them until I ask you not to? Simple, right? <br/>Then comes the main course... The starters were so pathetic that main course felt better for a change. The only good thing was laal maas. Yes, I loved that dish. It was tasty. Dahi wada was good too. Everything else was just average. When asked for naan, they did ask me if I want a butter naan or normal naan which was a good gesture. Service wasn't slow, considering it was a Saturday.<br/>About dessert.. Gulab jamun was good. Suji halwa was just average. Ice cream and kulfi were good.<br/><br/>Now comes the showstopper moment... I had a food voucher from 'little' app and I could see the discomfort on the face of the guy at counter when I told him that I have a voucher. To top it all, he even REFUSED TO GIVE ME THE BILL, by saying that WE DON'T GIVE BILL TO THOSE WHO USE VOUCHERS. What kind of crap is this?????? Why the hell can't you give me the bill? It's not that you guys are doing me a favour by accepting the food voucher. Your restaurant is pathetic enough so you are advertising it on some food voucher app. I am actually doing you guys a favour by visiting it by buying and paying for the food upfront. Least I require is a bill after eating tasteless food at your restaurant. Aren't you entitled to give me the bill? Guess, I'll have to tweet or drop a mail to the government officials about how they don't offer you the bill. <br/><br/>Change your cook and attitude. Maybe charge 200 bucks extra and serve tasty food. If you can't, change the name to The Worst Buffet.<br/>
Snehal Roy
Pros - good seating arrangement. The restaurant is very spacious and very clean. Loved the variety in main course- specially laal maas, dum aloo, dahi bhalla. In desset chocolate ice cream, gujiya, gulab jamun were damn good. Price is resonable. 600 including tax per head.<br/><br/>Cons - welcome drink was bad. Atleast should give coke/mirinda. Service is slow..the waiters are not well trained it seems.
Jolly Sarkar
It was a good experience...it can be a nice stop for a family to have lunch or dinner...the barbeque ,buffet,n dessert were very good .Only the service needs a little improvement.

I WOULD HAVE GIVEN 4 STARS BUT... WE WERE AROUND 20 PPL HENCE WE CALLED UP ON THE LANDLINE NO WHICH IS MENTIONED ON ZOMATO TO BOOK A TABLE. THE PERSON ON THE OTHERSIDE AGREED FOR DISCOUNT OF RS 20 EACH. WHEN WE REACHED AND HAD OUR LUNCH THE MANAGER FROM GRAND BUFFET REFUSED TO GIVE US DISCOUNT STATING ZOMATO PERSON MUST HAVE SAID THIS WE DONT ENTERTAIN SUCH THINGS AND BELIVE ME THEY WERE ARROGANT. THIS IS CHEATING AND HENCE WE ARE NOT VISITING THIS PLACE AGAIN.<br/><br/>Great Food value for Money..... Cool Ambience... Good Service... <br/>Mouth Watering Starters for both Veg and Nonveg but with limited options..Equally good main course and desserts..
Raj Sawant
Best buffet place in a town , big restaurant & cool atmosphere. Well managed staff good in service. barbecue starter was fabulous, 🍤🍖 kabab, soup, main course, salads everything was great. Desert also not bad have lots of options.<br/>Everyone must try<br/>U will loving it 😙
Praveen PPT
Visited this place with colleagues for team lunch buffet. There is nothing grand about this place apart from the ambience. <br/><br/>Since there was some confusion with the location some of us went to other side of phoenix mall and when we entered east court and asked for the restaurant, we were shocked to see even the neighbouring shop guys were not sure about the existence of this restaurant and that was the sign that we were gonna waste our time and money.<br/><br/>Only Fish and a chicken starter was good. Non of the veg people liked it.<br/><br/>Ambience: 4<br/>Service: 4<br/>Food: 2.5
Jaya Butani
The place was located in east court of phoenix mall. The best part about this place is its ambience with some hindi instrumental music been played. The food is absolutely delicious with a reasonable price of Rs. 600 including taxes per person which is very good for a buffet in which you can get a lot of variety in food. The staff is very co operative and will ask you on timely basis if you need anything. Mutton seekh kebab and chicken manchurian were lip smacking.The only disappointment was we reached at 7:30 and we were not served with one or two starters which the people who came later were served.I have added this place to my favourites and will suggest everyone to visit it once for an amazing feast.

One of my favorite buffet restaurant in town. Already been to their seasons mall outlet, this time tried the one at Viman Nagar. <br/>Ambience- Truly grand in every manner, offers a lot of privacy.<br/>Food- Starters were good, but were missing one or two<br/>Service- Good, nothing to complain, had to ask for rotis many times, don't know why this happens at every buffet restaurant.<br/>Cost- Cost is lowest<br/>Overall a very nice place. Recommended.

Perfect ambience for your dinner. But only this is not enough the taste of food not so great, dtartets ate ok but the mains are horrible. Dessert although id ok

We had a team dinner over here I find the ambience great but the quality of food spoilt the taste and fun as <br/>Starter was pathetic, Dinner was OK and if you love sweets then desserts is nice.

Went there with friends on a Wednesday evening hoping to have "Grand Buffet" as the name suggest but it was utter flop. <br/><br/>Flaw #1:- It is essential to have a washroom in a restaurant where people who have come traveling all the way to your restaurant can get fresh and wash hands after a meal. Where as here you have to walk end of the mall to get to the washroom which by the way at night is so spaced out in corner doesn't feel safe to go there alone. No doubt the washrooms were well maintained and hygienic.<br/><br/>Flaw #2:- If you are serving something saying its unlimited (welcome drinks) make sure it's sufficient for all the guest to try it out. Later in main course the dahi vada's which were suppose to be tasty were insufficient and didn't get to eat once the dish was over. As there were shortage of glasses where we went there and when we had asked for glasses it took forever for us waiting still couldn't get hand on any. Well you need to serve welcome drinks as well on the respective tables how will people feel welcomed if you do not reciprocate the action. I did not get to try any finally whereas, some of my friends who had tried it said it was just mapro syrup added to soda and some orange juice. Drinks were biggest disappointment.<br/><br/>Flaw #3:- This is the main one ! Service !!! Too god damn slow. Not like you expect it would be like barbeque nation it was utter disappointment. We had to ask literally 3-4 times for a starter to repeat. Also I guess they don't have much variety of starters for veg also for non-veg. Being frustrated with service we didn't ask for options, just opted to go for main course.<br/><br/>Flaw #4:- Being a big restaurant and widely spread and with many guest with usually big groups attention needs to be paid at each and every table you cannot handle a section merely with 3-4 staffs in each section (as I notice the restaurant serving area was divided into two halves) so people in the end of the section feel left out. There should be more staff especially personal attention should be given at each table only during starters at least.<br/><br/>Flaw #5:- Not much variety in veg main course. Dal was the highlight and mainly had to survive on it throughout the night. Veg Chinese was not up to the mark the noodles were all dry and tasteless also the manchurian was cold. The food didn't dazzle the pallet or the tongue like it should.<br/><br/>The rating as for the ambience and the non-veg main course. They had alot of variety in non-veg main course like fish, chicken and mutton. Deserts were the same like every other buffet places. Better to pay little more for good service and lip smacking food, thats what we felt at end of the night after leaving this place.<br/>Akshay Gupta<br/>@abhay jagjeevan<br/>

Saltless food. Hopeless biryani. Smelly chicken.<br/>Not worth 600. You'll be disappointed if you're a nonveg lover. Only good thing about the place was the table in the corner where it feels amazing. But then food really disheartens you.

This one is worth your money. The variety they offer under 600 bucks is commendable. Went there for dinner on Wednesday night. For starters they had 5 veg and 5 non veg starters which included fish, prawns, chicken, mutton, tandoor. Chicken was not that great but prawns were delicious. Main course included 2 veg 2 non veg mughlai dishes, Chinese noodles and three types of rice. If desserts are your favourite part of a buffet meal I would not recommend grand buffet(they served kulfi though). Overall a nice experience.
Puneet Mehta
Lovely place!! They've got a vast spread for the buffet and reasonably priced. Great ambience coupled with highly courteous staff. Would rate this place anytime better than Barbeque Nation. The starters too were good. Honey chicken was the show stealer. Only recommendation to tge management would be to have more variety in starters for vegetarians.<br/><br/>Overall a lovely experience and worth visiting.

This is very nice place spend time with family & friends. Test quality was so very nice. Staff & Service is also excellent.specially I like gulab jamoon.
We The Foodies
We were deciding on a good buffet place to visit when we came across The Grand Buffet. After reading a lot of mixed reaction reviews we decided to give it a try and see for ourself.<br/>The ambience is just a the name goes Grand. Nice and spacious with a good decor.<br/>The food is similar to the BBQ nation concept but must say their main course is better than BBQN.<br/>Nontheless, good option to give a try, if not visited yet.<br/>Now coming to the menu, the starters include chicken machurian (good), chicken drumsticks, prawns, basa fish🎏, mutton sheek kabab, pineapple🍍, paneer and mushroom🍄. Tastes very similar to the one you will have at BBQ.<br/>The main course has variety of options in veg as compared to non-veg.<br/>Veg - veg fried rice, steam rice, dal tadka, dal makkani, bhendi masala, peas n mushroom masala, palak paneer, tomato soup, veg biryani...so lot to try from. Being a non-veg eater only tried the steam rice and dal makkani which was really good.<br/>Non-Veg - chicken do-pyaza ( just ok), fish in Thai curry (tasted just like a Thai curry), mutton Rogan ghosh (very tasty), chicken biryani (nice) and chicken soup.<br/>Overall the mains were good.<br/>Coming to deserts, my favorite 😀 had good options.<br/>Cut fruits, pineapple pastry, gujia (coconut filling pastry soaked in sugar syrup), shahi tukda, gulab jamun ( just yuuummm), moong dal halwa ( ok), chocolate and vanilla ice-cream and the best of all kulfi (mava, rose, mango - all too good)<br/>At a price of 600/- this spread is very good I must say.<br/>Only wud like them to improve on their serving staff, they are a bit slow, had to repeat the same thing more than once to get it done. Little attentive staff wud be appreciated.<br/>Overall wud recommend all to give it a try for sure.

Best of the best ! What we found here, finally we got place where we can celebrate our little princess birthday. Ambiance is perfect (10/10) i ask them for 100 guest, but unexpected 150 was there and they manage very well and up to mark. Specially thanks to manager Mr Ranjan, for man power managment with best service. Overall best experience. This is the place. You must visit. The GRAND!

I recently visited The Grand Buffet with a friend. This one is the newly opened outlet in the East Court section of Phoenix Mall. Here goes the review –. Ambience – The ambience is pretty grand as per the name. The restaurant is spread over a huge area when compared to the cramped one at Seasons Mall.  I immediately developed a liking for the place just because of its non-cramped seating layout. I visited for dinner and the lighting along with the overall décor, gave the place a modern “nawaabi” feel. The golden chandelier right on the entrance is so very beautiful.
Shivani Patharé
Ok ok place. Very slow service. The only thing good in starters was the veg crispy and in the buffet was daal makhani. Rest all was nothing great.
Abhishek Bunge
Worst experience ever.<br/> I Booked this place for 16 people .<br/> And while booking I mentioned will they provide us some discount on booking.<br/> The Zomato Customer support guy called us and told us they will provide 10%Discount on bill.<br/> But in reality while we where paying bill I mentioned that u where going to give 10%discout.but Manager Answered rudely that we will not give you and it's yours an Zomatos business.<br/> Guys don't go to this outlet...<br/> They just want money they don't look towards customers satisfaction.<br/> And Mainly Service was too Worst..<br/> I will suggest Go for BBQ..
Aniket Yannewar
Not a place for a foodie!! Food doesn't flood in to your plates! Something that saves this place is the location and fairly good ambience. A sad thing if you are opting a Veg buffet!!

"The not so grand buffet"<br/><br/>Hubby and I decided to take my parents for a live grill dinner in Viman Nagar and so we chose The Grand Buffet.<br/><br/>Ambience is pleasing with comfortable seating but the air conditioning was poor. We realised this as soon as the live grill started and all of us were sweating because of the heat. We requested for a seat change but our request was politely turned down.<br/><br/>We felt the waiting staff was not well trained, at times they did not know what was happening around. It was quite haphazard and unorganised.<br/>We requested for drinks and we got a diluted fruit flavoured sprite drink. The drinks were not chilled either. The drink booth had no soft drinks after our arrival and nearly 6 people were struggling to refill the drink booth. It was a surprise to see nearly all the guests waiting in a queue for a shot size glass of drink. I would suggest The Grand Buffet management to provide better training to the staff for improving the customer's overall dining experience.<br/><br/>Food:<br/><br/>Starters were average. Many other places have much better live grill. We found nothing out of the ordinary at The Grand Buffet - they have emulated the tried and tested formula of Barbeque Nation. The usual prawns, tandoori chicken, grilled basa fish, mutton seekh kebabs, mushrooms and grilled potato were on offer. I would like to mention the crispy fried veggies were good. The veggies were crispy enough with an even coating of herbs and spices.<br/><br/>Main course was also good but nothing that you wouldn't have encountered at other buffet restaurants. We had pasta salad, chicken curry, fish curries in Indian and Thai gravies, Lal Maas (cooked with chicken, originally a Rajasthani mutton delight), veg noodles, paneer curry, rice and dal. Taste was fine and the food was well cooked - no problems there.<br/><br/>Coming to the desserts, the malai kulfi was a show stopper for me. I literally ate 4 kulfis as childhood nostalgia kicked in!!! My hubby probably had the same number of kulfis too. The rose and mango kulfis were above average. Shahi tukda was not the best I've had. Sabudana kheer was also very basic. Gulab jamuns were yummy. Fruits were available in the dessert section and just one variety of pastry was offered to the diners. Not impressed with the icecream collection as there was a choice of only strawberry and vanilla.<br/><br/>Finally, we would recommend The Grand Buffet - but with some major reservations. Service for one definitely needs an urgent improvement. An original menu (not a copy-cat one from Barbeque Nation) will help this place regain its mojo.<br/>Certainly not recommended for large groups and office team outings as the waiting staff would not be able to manage everything.

“Expected high but Average experience !!!”<br/><br/>I visited this place out of curiosity (for barbecues @ less price 'Comparatively'). Entered and impressed with decent ambiance(Specious). Started lunch and telling myself "Not bad, not bad, not bad". Finished my lunch and realized "Not that good". <br/><br/>Suggestion: Of course the word Barbecue is synonyms with Barbecue Nation and Sigree. Do not visit the place if you want to compare it with BN, it will be a big let down then.<br/><br/>Last words: As I said before prices are comparatively less, you can visit once.
Noori Leeba
Awesome experience...love it..enjoing very much..<br/>Feel good..<br/>Kids r enjoyed...starter was delicious...<br/>Main course is super..<br/>Desserts r good...<br/><br/>Customer services very poor
Gaurav Singh
I expected a lot when i heard that this is the second outlet and the extension of The Grand Buffet-magarpatta, pune. Ambiance, Service was good but food was next to Ok! as the kebabs, chicken served were not completely cooked. We had to keep it for long time on sigri before we can have them. Price is reasonable so that doesn't mean we have to cook our-self so may be management should look into this. May be it had been resolve as we went a month ago. But do try out once. Cheers!!
Aditi Bansal
Nothing tasted good or even ok in the whole menu, staff would not recognize ur request to get u the starters especially the beg starters. Not at all worth going again. Highly disappointed!!
Coby
Visited this place for team lunch and had a so-so experience. Place is spacious and ambience is good but the air conditioning was poor. Service was below average. The servers were inattentive. Starters didn't have much variety but main course and desserts were good. Of course no match with the reputation, variety and quality of BBQ Nation but could improve.
Akshara Tarkas
The food is good. It also has a wide spread of food. It's on the similar lines as Barbeque Nation but this has more variety for the main course whereas Barbeque Nation has awesome starters and desserts. In all good food. Definitely worth a visit
Mangesh Bardapurkar
Very bad time management.....taste is wrost.....going with family n.my wide was.full disappoint....please.dont go if you are going for good taste......very bad experience...
Juned Nayak
Worst service no time management kaise bhi dete hai time par nahi serve karthe just wastage of time in that buffet।.....................................
Neyaz Alizafar Khan
Was it expecting to be bad, since my couple of experience with Season's mall Grand buffet was not good. But this appeared worst. Ambiance - Awesome, Space - Good, Service - Avg, Variety of food - Just ok, Taste - Very Bad. <br/>We go to such places to eat and eat good. Not there to sit and enjoy the air-conditioned ambiance. Guys you lack so many things in your food preparation. The most amazing thing is that after my so many instructions you guys could improve it.<br/><br/>Go, only if you want to sit in AC hall.
Dipika Dutta
My visit to The Grand Buffet was a mix of hits and misses. I went with my colleagues for team dinner.<br/>First of all it is located in East Court Mall which is in front of Phoenix Market City. It is a very deserted place with few shops. <br/>Ambience of the restaurant is nothing exceptional. The buffet menu had a wide variety of items. Non-veg starters were good but vegetarian starters were not upto the mark. Main course included number of items such as chicken curry, mutton roganjosh, crab curry, chhole, paneer, baigan, biryani, noodles, manchurian, dal, rice, raita, papad. I liked crab curry and chicken biryani the most. Dessert also had an extensive spread with items such as kulfi, gulab jamun, cakes, gujia, lauki halwa. I generally don't like lauki halwa but this one tasted good and so did gujia. Rest of the desserts did not meet our expectations. <br/>I will rate this place as follows<br/>Ambience: 3<br/>Food: 3.5<br/>Service: 3
Jax Warner
Best part - We got 100% Discount on whole bill on 8th Visit under their surprise offer category. <br/><br/>Very Few people Know this - They told us that anyone can also get 100% off on any of your visit under their surprise offer category we got select at 8th visit. <br/><br/>Apart from that here are my rating - <br/><br/>Ambience - 10/10<br/>Starters 10/10<br/>Main course - 10/10<br/>Service - 10/10 ( Staff were very kind and friendly. Love their service. They will make feel like a king<br/>
Das Priyanka
Awesome ambience with soft instrumental music playing at the background and the great grand buffet at a very reasonable price. The Viman Nagar outlet is a must visit for all the foodies out there. Went there for a lunch buffet on Saturday. I booked my table through their website, from the Table Reservation tab which was quite a hassle free experience. When it comes to food, the starter options are really good and tasty- especially the prawns and pepper chicken. Talking about the main course and dessert, as the name suggests- its grand and drool worthy. I loved there spicy and juicy mutton curry from the main course section. Overall, I had a good time and enjoyed their servicing which was damn quick.<br/><br/>I don't mind, giving a second visit to this place for sure.
Anant
Average is the word, went with high expectations but came back highly disappointed!<br/><br/>Ambience: Overall okay with sufficient lighting and an open area, doesn't feel stuffy. Light instrumentals playing in the background <br/><br/>Food: They have tried to produce a buffet similar to barbecue nation and failed miserably. Overall the preparation was average. Period. And yes, no chilled drinking water available.<br/><br/>Service: Went on a Wednesday and found it to be understaffed, took a lot of time to clear the plates once we were done with one course and were moving on the next. This is something they need to look into.<br/><br/>Overall not a place I would recommend to someone, better spend 100-200 bucks more and hit barbeque nation instead.
Shalaka More
Very good place for corporate dinners. Food is great and a lot of variety for vegetarians. Service is very good. We were almost 50 people and got a good discount too. Happy that all team members loved it. Reasonable rates and great taste is what makes this place a must visit.
Adwait Chandekar
Worst ever experience.....I have visited with my wife for lunch on Saturday 1st of April 2017.....The air conditioning was not working and the most worst part of it they don't even give cold water.....Wen I asked for a bottle of cold water they said we don't serve cold water......I suggest don't ever visit this place.... Worst experience worst place.....Very average food taste.... Don't try this
Anirudh Chaudhary
This review is written keeping in mind the vegetarian food. The starters were pathetic except for paneer that too just the first lot. Even that became chewy down the line. <br/>When I started with the main course, i came to know the importance of starters coz that was even worse.<br/>Now coming to desserts- in a buffet its a bit difficult to serve bad desserts, but The Grand Buffet made it happen. Kulfi: BAD, Dal ka halwa: UNDERCOOKED, pastries n fruits: TASTELESS<br/>The only thing good was vanilla ice cream, for which i need to thank AMUL or KWALITY WALLS.<br/><br/>I will never recommend this place to anyone.
Uday Kshirsagar
If you want to try BBQ and ‘Grand’ main course then Grand Buffet is the place I would recommend. They start with BBQ starters, serves it the same way as BBQ-Nation. Though they have limited options in BBQ and other starters items but I must say they are all tasty (I would mark BBQ-Nation’s starters little higher though on taste). But when it comes to main-course, as said – its grand indeed. So many options and variety in main course and whatever I tasted it was great, right from appetizers to main dishes and desserts. Especially I found desserts really good; it was beyond that typical gulabjamun, jalebi, rabadi or phirni. They had something named chandrakala (tasted like balushashi) and other item like ‘shankarpale’ but very crispy and rich in taste. Dal-Makhani is my favorite dish and they serve just amazing makhani. <br/>Every main dish had multiple options like 2 dals, 3 rice, 2-3 veg. curries and same for non-veg.<br/><br/>Service was good, very quick and proactive. Ambiance is very nice, very traditional/shahi or should I say Grand :) . The copper pots for buffet looks so rich. The price in return is moderate and worth. I definitely recommend this place. This place is preferred for big groups, you will enjoy the most :)
Devendra Bhoge
The concept is similar to BBQ nation. Ambiance is great...<br/>Starters - ok ok... bbq better<br/>Main course - OK. = many options..<br/>live counters - nothing much there..<br/>salads  - nice<br/>deserts - ok ok...
Pravin Mandge
Usual place to hangout with friends or colleagues. You can team lunch. Not too costly neither cheap. Cost wise good alternative to barbecue nation. Overall ambiance is nice.
Vipul
Pretty decent taste. The concept is same as barbeque nation. This place is a shade cheaper than barbeque nation. You would miss live counters. Nice ambiance.
Cuba Libre
Finally I found some nice option at Viman Nagar. Wow very nice decor and grilled starter. Huge spread an nice hospitality. Staffs are very friendly.
Pallab Kumar Banerjee
I visited here second time with a group of 10 people. The food here is very good. The service was also very fast. The good thing is that soft drinks are included with the buffet . Will visit here again
Rutika Gajbhiye
Had been to this place for dinner with few of my friends, and had an amazing experience of food, ambience and the staff. To start with, the food was very tasty and presentation of it was also nice. The staff was very co-operative, helpful and attentive, as when ever we called them for some need they were available immediately. The ambience of the place is very classy and soothing, which makes me give an overall 5 for this place. I would definitely show up in future as I specifically liked chicken biryani of this place!
Kalpika
Very bad experience..... Food quality really pathetic..... Staff is good ...chiken kebabs was smeling... Salad and soup both of testless... Improve your food quality.
Kedar Sengaonkar
Went to this place on monday night. The entire place was almost empty. There was only 2 tables. Food was looking fabus but taste wise it was below average. Concept is similar to Barbeq nation. Coming to starters chicken was not fresh , prawns were undercooked. Fish was ok ok. In veg paneer tasted completely raw. As it wasn't marinated properly. <br/>For main course it's hige buffet set up. Where in veg some gravies tasted almost same. Not really worth for money.
Tejas
Very nice place for family or friends dinner. We went here for collogue farewell party. Love the ambience as it's small but still good. Idea of this restaurant is similar to other restaurants like barbeque nations. But I find taste is better than BBQ . Nice place for large number of people for dinner.
Nishad
Yesterday we received really pathetic service. We asked roti at least for 10 times! But we didn't get roti in the dinner. Finally we gave up.<br/>Really disgusting hotel.<br/>Why you people running this if you can't provide basic services?<br/>We got welcome drink at the end of the dinner, we are absolutely helpless as we were repeatedly asking managers for proper service.<br/><br/>We won't visit this hotel in life and won't recommend anyone.
Shreekant B
Found this place on Zomato. I was aware about grand buffet at Seasons so had come here at Viman nagar out let with lots of expectations. Place is really good with good food too at very much reasonable prize. Will be coming back with team.
Deepti Gurav
This is one place I have read such mixed reviews about! Surely it got me curious to know, what does Grand Buffet exactly offers! Finally, our team dinner gave me the opportunity to explore this place. Read on :) <br/><br/>SERVICE: We decided to visit GB on a Wednesday evening. Considering it was a mid week, we didn't make a reservation for our dinner. The lady at reception arranged a table for 7 of us immediately. Smooth sail there. <br/><br/>However, the service here lacks the spark, the warmth. Not that the people were rude or anything, maybe little bit more of a training in hospitality would just do the trick I think. <br/><br/>AMBIENCE: The location (East Court of the Phoenix Mall) works perfectly. It's away from the hustle bustle of the mall and one can have a nice meal with family or friends here. <br/><br/>The restaurant is spacious and I liked the sitting arrangement here. There are two areas for dining, though I didn't check out the outdoor area, hence can't comment about it. So if you are in a big group, there should not be absolutely any problem in accommodating. Of course having a prior reservation always help in such cases.<br/><br/>FOOD: Starters and spread is not as lavish as their counter parts, but it's not inadequate!<br/><br/>Non veg starters had Chicken, Fish, Prawns and Mutton. Very much covered everything a non vegetarian would look for. Moderately spiced FRESH food, good in taste. <br/><br/>Veg starters had Paneer, Grilled Pineapple, Crispy Vegetables. Just as fine. <br/><br/>Main course is a decent spread. Vegetarian section didn't seem too appetizing to me :-( non veg still had some interesting dishes to try such as crab curry, mutton gravies and absolutely delicious Chicken Biryani. <br/><br/>Deserts are limited. Kulfis, Ice Cream, Gulab Jamun, One pastry, Cut Fruits, Sabudana Kheer and Halwa if I recollect well. <br/><br/>COST: Super. For 599, what more could one ask for. It's definitely value for money :) <br/><br/>Now I know why this place has such mixed reviews. There are certain aspects which are well managed, and some which requires improvement. Overall a decent place, should not disappoint you if you don't carry high expectations :) <br/><br/>Enjoy! Bon Appetite
Darshan Maru
Visited on a Weekday for Buffet Dinner. This is an alternative for Barbeque Nation and has the same kind of Barbeque buffet. Ambiance was Pretty good. We ordered for Veg Buffet and we're surprised with the Veg starters. Babycorn chilly was delicious, Panner starters was also delicious and panner was so soft and mouth dissolving. Unlike mock tails at Barbeque, soft drinks are served complimentary. Main course was also spread with Variety of curry, Rice and Dal. Finally on the Desert menu, Gulab Jamun, cheese cake, and Ice cream was very good to have as sweet dish. Kulfi were also delicious and with some flavours. Overall, A very good and delicious Buffet which made the day... :)
Txschadab Psyhead
Went for a Sunday lunch buffet, for a birthday celebration. Table booked in advance. Had asked for birthday decorations but they denied. (though most places deny). Ambience is warm and great. Unlimited Welcome drinks available(coke, sprite n fanta). Initial services were prompt. Live grill available with fish, chicken, prawn, mutton, paneer and mushroom options. Loved it. Really delicious. Did not want to stop. Main course too was widespread for both veg and non veg. Though couldn't have much but tried a bit of all. Flavours amazing. They also had goan crab curry. And mutton rogan Josh and biriyani were amazing. One can order hot garlic butter nans. Lots of salad both fruit and veg as well as seafood, non-veg options available. However corn in the chicken soup was undercooked. Desserts section had surprisingly good spread with ice creams, kulfis, gulab jamum, sahi tukda and sabudana kheer. Loved sahi tukda. All great. Great value for money. A cheaper alternative to bbq nation. Service speed for starters could be improved. Great experience. Will visit again.

Not exactly a Grand Buffet but a good buffet nevertheless !<br/><br/>With all the not so favorable reviews of this place it wasn’t at the top of my list while looking into Buffet options for a Sunday Lunch. However due to an ongoing promotion we got a deal to try their buffet at 349 pp/all inclusive (Rs 599 otherwise) so it was an offer we couldn’t resist and gave them a visit. <br/><br/>An important point to note is the fact that they are located on the east court of Phoenix Market city so park/plan your visit accordingly, they’re not located in the west court where other establishments like 212 Cafe, Shizusan, Bar Bar, Star Bazaar etc are located. This part of the mall doesn’t have a lot of hustle/bustle which might work to one’s favor if relaxed eating is what you aim for, it certainly worked well for us<br/><br/>The Food – Their starters are definitely their USP as I couldn’t remember the last time we went to a barbecue place and we finished every single skewer of starters we ordered. Yes it was that good – may be it was our lucky day because every preparation was exactly how it should have been. The surprising part was the Paneer Tikka (not bland at all) and the quality of Paneer as it was just melt in the mouth types.<br/><br/>Picture Credits - Shweta Parijat

Delicious food , Excellent service , Perfect ambience !!!<br/>Best Place in Pune for Buffet.<br/>Awesome Experience :)
Roselin Marian
Only starters were gud,they have timings like 7pm to 9pm and 9pm to 11pm for having dinner we need to finish dinner in the mentioned time or they will be behind us reminding,we started dinner by 7:40pm and got reminder at 8:30pm to hurry up ,bad experience we had yesterday they need to manage bookings accordingly,will not visit again nor suggest anyone ,spoke to the manager there his reply was can't help.
Ashutosh
We went there for lunch. The food was yummy and the service was quick too.<br/>Starters were very tasty and the main course as well.<br/>For Desserts there were less options. Otherwise a nice place to visit. Recommended.
Tushar Sharma
The starter started well but then it faded too quickly <br/>Strangely, arbi snack was one of the top in flavors and diff to try . <br/>Most of the things for veg were passable in barbeque section and  not to mention...<br/>The service was dead slow, atleast in our case on veg table or it looked so...<br/>main course spread was also as usual nothing worth mentioning or repeating. At places like this if  I have to look for main course to full my self, I am actually disappointed. <br/>The desert were real let down, the mal-pua was hard, the pastry too dry at base <br/>This place needs to work on the food if they need to compete as with the price charges it was not at all worth going and could have been an easy pass..<br/>Ambience : 4/5<br/>Food; 2/5<br/>Service: 2.5/5
PS :I Love Food
Amazing variety and good on taste! Generally places which offer buffet lack on vegetarian front, there are not much options to be explored, but for a good change this place offered me yummy vegetarian varieties. The starters were good on taste, barbecue was good! They had a huge spread for mains. The desserts could have been a bit better, some one-two delicacies more. <br/>But overall really nice, quiet ambience and pleasant staff! You can go here with family and enjoy a cozy lunch/dinner! 👍🏼
Dixha D Raina
Not at all, a place to  visit again.<br/>Was excited to enter the place as ambience was great but was totally disappointed with the food variety and taste. Better to go for BBQ at such a rate. The only starter i liked was chilly baby corn and nothing else, they had no great variety in starters (May be i am comparing with BBQ) but that's the truth...<br/>So overall review--- no food variety, servicing was ok, ambience was great, waste of money, taste of food :1.7/5 ...<br/>So better decide and go   :)
Pooja Mandawale
So I was tooo hungry and thinking for trying street food yet I had to motivate myself to hv this food and go Bcuz my frnd wanted to go there and I must say d ambience is too good and then the food is thik thak.. OKish place. And overall one time visit. I mean I'll explain y! They've good buffet system but taste and items can be improved. Less barbecue s they had ya. Vegans u wil go crazy with d options. C basically we go and eat out to avoid food which v can make at home perhaps when I went there v had Bhendi chi bhajji then I also don't like Panner and they had Kolhapuri paneer! Dude!!!! Wot can I now do. Mag pakavvvv watla Mala main course. V had good starters v had some paneer stuff then some Arbi stuff which I'll rate as d hero of meal. Now therefore, for service I'll rate 3/4, for food 2.5/5 and for the ambience I'll rate 4/4. Bcuz d space is too good, khup free watate, wide space open space and nice space..! Perhaps they did not had the own toilets when I went. My experience was not tht good when went yet I'll plan to visit again Bcuz I want to taste other things too! So there goes my review!

Have visited the grand buffet yesterday. The non veg starters was good , the veg starters was not that great . The veg and non veg main course had lot of option and it was yummy. The only suggestion I can give is to improve the dessert selection. There was sheera , Shahi turka , Gulab Jamun , Pastry, cut fruits and Ice cream. Was looking for something great. Any way it was an nice experience. Will definitely visit again ...

This was my review few months back:<br/><br/>If you are a veggie, a big big no... else, okay to go.<br/><br/>550 bucks for a veggie food is like pouring in drain. Very limited & boring veg starters. limited & regular variety of main course. ordinary desserts. ambience of similar to a family restaurant.<br/><br/>However, when i have been a treat last week (Jan'17), i was surprised to see the amount of phenomenal changes they made in entirety. I wanna turn-around my earlier review and state that:<br/><br/>Superb Veg Starters, Soup, Especially their Rotis & Daal Makhani are one of their best. Nice desserts to end with. Now i feel paying worth Rs.600/- . Ample space and nice ambience. <br/><br/>Good going and expect more to come :)

BBQ nation on a small scale. Occupancy was less when I was there. Good starters but the main course can be better. I feel They have kept it simple.

I went there once for the team lunch. Ambience and music is pleasant.<br/>Many options for veg starters. Welcome drink was good.<br/>Desserts had many options like gulabjam,lauki halwa,ice cream.<br/>Good to try out once.

Been for lunch here. Same concept as barbecue nation. Food was good but less variety. Some vegetables in main course put me off so much like padwad nd aloo ki sabji !!!! I won't even try this at home so why in a restaurant. Their sweet potato veg starter was amazing. Rest of the food was good but nothing great. Desserts were very few and only Indian. No cakes and pastries. Good ambiance. They need to put more on the plate as they will be constantly compared with BBQ nation which has already set the standard very high.

The food is very good. Both Veg and Non-veg is ultimate. Chicken was very good. ambiance and service was also good. I only tasted starters and desserts which were amazing. This is must visit place.

Barbeque Nation concept. Whats difference? Starters aren't upto the mark of BBQ Nation but ample of varieties  available for main course and  dessert. They also do serve juice and soft drinks on buffet. Liked Mutton rogan josh, daal tadka and Shahi tukda<br/><br/>Ambience 3.5/5<br/>Service 3.5/5

A friend insisted on visiting this buffet place for dinner.<br/><br/>Hadn't heard a lot about this place yet thought of giving it try.<br/><br/>As planned reached for dinner, it was a weekday towards the end of 2016.<br/><br/>The place looked spacious and very less occupied. We settled down towards the centre.<br/><br/>I wanted to wash my hands and surprisingly they didn't have a washroom. Hence had to use the common one of the complex.<br/><br/>We asked for the menu to know what is being served but didn't receive it. The welcome drink was served tasted more like Fanta. <br/><br/>The veg starters were the usual ones being served at buffet places. Mushrooms, potato, paneer, baby corn. Mushrooms was the only thing I liked. <br/><br/>The veg main course was not much, veg mix sabji, paneer, daal tadka, Hong Kong noodles and rice, plain steamed rice. We had to wait for over 20 minutes for the roti and also had to keep reminding for it.<br/><br/>Finally towards the desserts again not much options. Gulab jamum, ice cream, shahi tukda, kulfi. The only thing perfect were the Gulab jamun. <br/><br/>What put me off was that in some bowls the spoons were lying submerged and no one bothered to remove it.<br/><br/>Overall experience was not very pleasant. Later on the place became very untidy, the air conditioning was switched off, despite of requesting they did not switch it on, and we were sweating due to the barbeque. <br/><br/>I didn't like anything, surely will never visit again. <br/><br/>Lastly before leaving my friends who opted for the non veg meal realised that mutton kababs were served on the table beside ours. When enquired why was it not served at our table, they said we didn't ask for it, however we had asked for the menu as soon as we were seated. Such reluctant attitude.<br/><br/>A very bad experience to end the 2016.

If you're bore or looking for an change other than bbq nation.. This is the place to be, limited starters but tasty. Compare to Bbq nation they have better main course. Mutton rogan ghosh and crab curry is mouth watering and yes shahi tukda and gulab jamun too.<br/>More specious and kool ambience. Need to improve service little bit and mangers need to start paying personal attention to every guest.
Abrar Pathan
Ask them to provide all starters together as they will give the mutton related starters later on and the food as compared to price is much worth and food is also tasty but if you are excepting more than good for best you wont find but worth visiting i all aspect
Pushkar Jethwa
Worst Service Ever... Attitude of waiters were not good.. Very arrogant.. <br/>Waited for like 10 mins every time before starter is served back. <br/>Quality of starter is OK. My friend left thebplace because of poor service... Not recommended to anyone

(Review by a VEGETARIAN Foodie)<br/>Heard a lot of good things about The Grand Buffet and thought of finally giving it a try and it turned out to be a okayish experience. <br/><br/>FOOD:<br/>Considering a vegetarian, I didn't really have much of a choices. And the limited choices which I had weren't out of the world either to satisfy the taste buds. The starters were okay, there were quite some choices to make in Main Course but when the options are like Bhindi Masala and Fry Karela, you would rather stick with the basics and live with Paneer.<br/><br/>SERVICE:<br/>This part was pretty good, the servers were pretty active and always ready to help. But they were at times a little unfriendly and didn't know what dish was made up of what and what else could be our choices so staying informed with the dishes would have really helped.<br/><br/>PRICE:<br/>I believe there's a slight flaw in the pricing as the prices for the vegetarian and the non-vegetarian buffet is the same while the non-vegetarians get twice the number of choices to eat from. Not being stingy, just saying.<br/><br/>But compared to other restaurants who offer buffet options, they're way cheaper so they just need to work a little on their food and service and they will be back on track.<br/><br/>Overall, a fair enough experience for me, probably a great choice for the non-vegetarians. Might not feel worth it for the veg fellas!

We went there for lunch, when we reached at 1.00 pm there was no one in the restaurant. We were the first to enter at that time. Imagine it's just opposite to a big IT park and there was nobody, surprised.<br/>Let's get straight to the menu, there is no complimentary drinks as we get in BBQ, they serve Big Cola in small glasses. <br/>We got onto starters in veg they had, Paneer, Mushroom, Gobi Manchurian, potato tikki. Out of which paneer, arvi and allo tikki was OK. The waiter was reluctant to increase <br/>In non-veg they had, chicken Tilkka, fish, prawns, mutton seekh & chicken Manchurians. Mutton seekh came after 2-3 reminders. Chicken tikka was Ok, prawns were very small and hard, chicken manchurian was bad it only had the thick upper layer and inside it was not that much chicken. Fish was OK.<br/><br/>Now coming to main course, the rice kept were cold we had to ask them to make it warm. U took methi dal Which was decent. Next the thai curry was also cold. Salads were decent. I didn't try the remaining items. <br/>Dessert, they had gulab jamun, dudhi halwa, shahi tukda and kulfi. All were good. Except that you won't get topics and variety like BBQ. They're trying to copy BBQ but they can't, the difference in price is only 50 rupees. My suggestion spend that 50 and enjoy it at BBQ only. This is a no no for me.
Sagar Awale
Bad Food !!! The are running a BBQ nation style theme but can nowhere match them.This restaurant is nearer to my office so I went with my team for a lunch. We hardly saw any crowd there. Most of the non veg starters were not fresh. Also service is not good. Strict No No for this place
ASHIT RAINA
Starters n desserts were good. Main course was ok. But there was not enough verity to taste. Service was below par. Ambiance...not bad. Reasonable rates.<br/>Not a great experience! Hope they will add more verity to their menu and improve service.
Amit Jain
The food and service is good. Nice ambiance and great staff. We had a team lunch and with 50 ppl eating together, we got everything hot (except ice-cream) and fresh !!
Amol Khedkar
The ambiance was good but the quality of food as well as variety was not up to the mark. The service was very poor and the staff was not courteous.
Reshmi Raina
As it was new in Viman Nagar area.. Went there after seeing the holdings.. Frankly speaking I didn't like it much.. The starters were good.. Main course was ok ok however dessert was the best, ice cream, moong dal ka halwa, gulab jamun, gajar ki barfi, fruits and not to forget kulfi was the best!

I went there on 13 dec, 2016 on dinner with my colleagues. Here are some pros and cons of the place.<br/>Pros:<br/>1- starters are undoubtedly good ,specially you should try chilly prawn such a heavenly taste.<br/>2. Fair options of veg and non veg main course.<br/>3. Nice idea to introduce chinese and thai food in main course menu.<br/>4. Non veg salid options were fair enough. <br/>5. In veg main course i liked daal fry and rice.<br/>6.sweet options were good.<br/>7.Place was really very spacious and beauitful.<br/>8. Last but not least the price is reasonable.<br/><br/>Cons:<br/>1. Service was not up to mark.<br/>2.despite of prior booking there preperation was not appreciable.<br/>3.one thing that i dint like at all is they neither have separate stick for veg and non veg barbeque nor separate cooking material veg/non veg food preparation. This thing is really disappointing for pure vegeterians.<br/>4.drink they serve is too sweet amd ridiculously bad in taste, they should offer better mocktail options.<br/><br/>Over all its a worth place to go and price is reasonable.<br/><br/>I will write again if they worked over improvement points.<br/><br/>Thanks.<br/><br/>

First I visited TGB with my colleagues and impressed to get the service of buffet and decided to celebrate our 1st wadding Anniversary with my hubby at TGB. Really We had the best food at this buffet and we can't explain the quality of food that was one of the best food and service is brilliant. All skilled and professional staff at this...<br/>once again thanks to giving us nice service keep it up. i will suggested to other friends to visit this buffet..
Mandar Joshi
Tasty food with nice ambiance! There is quite a variety in the starters for both Veg n Non Veg. The only area they need to work upon is the desserts. Come on guys.. it can be better.. <br/> Also I'd like to suggest something... Why do you have a fixed menu? A Foody like me likes to taste different dishes on every visit but your menu is fixed which is not good.. Please kindly work on that.. Keep up the good work... Would love to visit again... :)

Great place to suffice your hunger. Every detail is given special attention. Starters and desserts are too awesome. Make sure that you are hungry enough for going to this place. The most exciting part was Juli counter was very very good.
Ankur Singh Rajawat

Manish Mishra
You guys are doing great service to humanity. The ambience is classy, the service is great as well and coming to main part, the food is top class too. The starters are tasty as well.
Pratibha Kachi
Went to this place with friends. Very slow service. They don't have much choices for vegetarians. Not much in deserts. The food served was cold and chewy. They didn't change even after complaining @it.<br/>The main course doesn't have that authentic taste. We had dal makhani. But it wasn't tasting any close to it.<br/><br/>Ambience is good. Food can be improved upon.
Ramya Rekha

Sunita Raul
Best buffet place in pune. Must visit this place with family and friends to enjoy grt food. The food is very tasty and they also have a lot of variety for veg as well as nonveg. Unlike other buffet places they have make a good balance between veg and nonveg dishes. I being an vegetarian loved all the food. The manager over there Mr. Suresh was at our service with his staff and made our evening more comfortable. Overall I can say it is a must try place for everyone.
Ankit Malvi
One of the best places to have dinner in pune. Food was awesome and very well served. Specially the Mutton curry was very tasty. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Specially the manager over there Mr. Suresh was at our service and also helped us in selecting the best food. I would recommend to visit this place with friends and family if you live in pune.

Samal Sunil
Had a chance to visit this place last today with my freinds today without any prior booking however we manage to get a table for 12 people after waiting for a while. Service and the foods which we tried were amazing and the service was amazing. Special thanks to operation manager and people who were serving us for swift service. We will make sure to visit again.
Santosh Patil
Worst restaurant ever been in Viman Nagar Pune.<br/>There was looooooooooooooong hair in my food.<br/>I would not even rate 1.
Azhar Shaikh
We booked for 40 (+-10) persons with cost of 490 inclusive taxes. when we reached venue manager said cost has been changed after long argument he continued with 490 per head. But service was worst i ever experienced in any restaurant...... Prawns starter was given only once...no veg starters on time...though people who served were polite but not trained enough....oily and spicy food....when we asked for check manager was insisting to pay for 40 people thought only 31 people came for lunch and reason he said that we prepared for 40 people . . .if you prepared for 40 people then why starters were not served on time?<br/>Never will recommend this to anyone
Tejas Mahajan
I had been to this place on 26th November Saturday for lunch. I will rate it on a scale 1-5 with 1 being lowest and 5 highest.<br/>Food : 4/5 We started with 2 types of welcome drinks which are ok, followed by starter which were scrumptious and well marinated but one or two were cold, main course was good both veg and non veg, chicken biryani was great, since they have only Indian Deserts I would say they were good but they could even have a cake or pudding in addition to it. Kulfi was also great.<br/><br/>Ambience - 4/5<br/>Service - 3.5/5<br/>Value for money - 4.5/5<br/><br/>At last a good place for parties with friends and family and will definitely visit again.
Satya Pati
Visited the place last Friday. Ambience is good. Manager and staff are well behaved and courteous. They served 2 welcome drinks which were average. They served 5 non veg & 5 veg starters.In Non veg starters chicken fry, prawns and fish were really good. Tandoori chicken and chicken wings were of okay type. In veg starters chilly baby corn was really good. Others like seekh kebab , panner malai kebab n mushroom grill was okay type. Service was a bit on slower side. But after I brought it to manager's notice it was quick. Manager himself came to serve starters n check from time to time. A very good gesture... keep it up. In soup chicken badam shorba was a disaster. Main course spread was good and had variety having chicken, mutton and fish on offering. Desert section was also good having 3 types of cut fruits, gulab jamun, Loki ka halwa, shahi tukda, 2 types of ice cream and kulfi.<br/>Food was good in terms of both variety and taste.. Ambience and service were also nice. Will surely visit again
