I went for the lunch buffet on a Saturday. I have been here over weekends and have found it difficult to find a place...now it was not that difficult..perhaps the quality had come down or there were more options or perhaps, people just were not spending. Cuisine is, of course, Chinese.
Food - Starters and soup are served at the table. The chicken clear soup had a funny smell and no taste. There were two veg and two non veg starters. There was veg dumplings and fried veg wontons and there was a stir fried veg and chicken and chicken dumplings. Both the dumplings were good, especially with the accompaniment of the spinach based sauce. The stir fried veg and chicken was more veg than chicken and the dough was undercooked and raw.
The main course had a prawn fried rice which was good and a sichuan chicken noodles that hardly had chicken, but was tasty all the same. The crab gravy was good but difficult to eat as it was only the halved bodies of the crabs without the proper implements to eat them with. The prawn / basil gravy was good, though a tad salty.
I did not try the fish or chicken gravies on offer. The veg fried rice was not bad but the veg hakka noodles was too bland. The stir fried vegetables in a brown gravy was repulsive. I did not try a couple of other veg dishes.
The salad counter had a five salads including a non-veg one and all were quite good. The dessert counter had a mousse, a couple of cakes and a brownie (which was good) and a choice of cut fruits (good once again) and a choice of 4 ice creams with hot chocolate sauce, nuts and butter scotch to top.
You get a welcome drink or a pint of fosters with the buffet.
Chinese green tea is served at the table for no additional cost.
Service - Was prompt.
Ambiance - Pleasant, air conditioned, spacious. They have valet parking.
Price - Rs.696.50/- per person. Costly!!
Summary - Average food; satisfactory service; good ambiance; expensive!
Reco - May not go there in the near future.
