The Square

Nice quaint place inside Novotel. Buffet spread is excellent, many nice seating options, staff is helpful. They provide a la carte and buffet for lunch and both are good. Chicken Thai curry was nice and good quantity. Paneer gravy was good too. Overall good experience with ambience and food. Good option for any party or treat

Went to The Square for a Sunday brunch and was pleasantly surprised by the array of sorted dishes! The ambiance is a casual and pleasant one. There is a good spread so we took our time to try out whatever fancied our eyes. Continental cuisines where spot on, Indian dishes were not at par though ... They have an impressive dessert selection, which the kids enjoyed. With live music, good ambiance, great food and courteous staff, it was a Sunday Brunch well spent.

Some meals are so satisfying. Dishes that tickle our taste buds, identify the richness, mild yet tangy enough .. traditional yet diverse.. and more. I was lucky enough to enjoy Assamese food last night Assam cuisine boosts of fresh local produce - vegetables, herbs and abundance of fish and meat. The rich soil grows Bhut Jolokia chilly, Ginger, Elephant ear, Bamboo, Bananas not to forget that Assam is a heaven for non veg lover’s.. pork, fish, mutton ,duck etc Monjeeta is cooking up a storm, recreating food that speaks volumes about it’s traditions and culture. I began with Starters : #Chicken_in_black til : different yet tasteful. #Spinach_flitters : crunchy munchy yummy Both fingerlicking good. The mains begins with a stomach cleanser called #Khaar. Ginger, raw papaya, pulses, taro and banana peel ash are the main ingredients. I tasted a Khaar made with cucumber, pink masoor Dal, cooked in mustard oil. I called it my comfort food and it’s to be eaten with rice. This is the first course. I helped myself to some Rohar Dal from the veg section which was simple. Second course is usually the meat. A thick rich gravy with indian spices and juicy pieces of mutton. #Mutton_curry was #Delicious. The four pitika are Simple dishes but a big hit. These are siders that are eaten with the mains. They break the monotony of a certain tastes and are essentially taste bud cleansers . #Alu_pitika was made with mashed potatoes, raw cut onions, green chillies and fresh corriander mixed well with cold mustard oil. #Bengna/baigan_Poora had roasted eggplant, and the same ingredients mentioned above. #Pineapple_Tok steamed pieces of pineapple with panch phodan(5spices) in mustard oil. Delicious #Bilani_Poora made with roasted plum tomatoes, skin removed and mixed with ingredients similar to baigan Poora. The final dish is the tangy and sour tasting #MaasurTenga. Today’s was tomatoes and lemon that add sourness to the fish curry. This thin curry was mind-blowing. #Sweets Rice Kheer: creamy thick rice Kheer, mildly sweet. Lots of dry fruits. Gaja: Similar like a Balushai , sweet and rich. Rasgulla : melt in your mouth. Delicious Nariyal Laroo : soft, sweet and terrific ladoo Black til Laroo : similar taste like a til ka ladoo with less Jagger. Being a Sunday night, each and every table was occupied. The buffet has continental, indian and the Assamese counters. However this was popular as one had to stand in line for refill. I take a bow , Monjeeta has outdone herself. A talented chef, good host and spokesperson representing her state. Kiddos..May more success come her way always! The food festival is on and Punekari very much within limits. Have a look at my pictures.

Great buffet experience. They have good spread and live counters for pizza pasta. Dessert section was really great. Ambience of the place is also nice. Worth going for special occasions

It was good but the buffet incharge female staffs were not good, behavior was not good, very rude and direct.
