- Nowadays we do see a lot of new restaurants serving buffet to the customers. The first impression that people have is that if you don't have a huge appetite the buffet is wasted. People still believe that its better to just order for something from the a la carte menu. I totally disagree. I have observed that in such restaurants, the a la carte prices are so hiked up that even ordering the bare minimum the price exceeds the budget. We all should comprehend that it is not the quantity the buffet is meant for instead it is for the variety. In a buffet, you can have soups, 2-3 starters, 3 veg and 3 non-veg main courses and 2-3 deserts, as much as you want at around 500-600 bucks.At certain joints they also give you a complementary beverage.
So here is a list of the greatest buffet joints, that will provide you the best experience of dining, you have ever had.
- Oh!Calcutta.(Nehru Place, Delhi): This restaurant is one of the many brands of the specialty group of restaurants. This restaurant has at least one dine in joint in most of the metropolitan cities which include Kolkata, Delhi and Bangalore. This restaurant has revolutionized Bengali authentic food, it has taken elements of Bengali cuisine and presented it to the world and has taken it altogether a different dimension. The buffet here cost Rs. 550 + taxes. In which you are served with 2 delicious starters, 2 soups, salads, 3 mouth watering main courses served with rice or Indian breads, and last but definitely not the least 2-3 awesome deserts. All of there delicacies are distinct from one another and tastes like something you have never tasted before. When i first went there, i was awed by the food and it still reserves a very special place in my heart. It is a must place for all those non-residential "Bengalis" who miss their own Bengali food such as "SHUKTO"," MOCHA'R CHOP" etc
Overall I will give it
8/10 Stars
- Mainland china(GK-2 New Delhi): This joint is considered one of the greatest when it comes to Chinese cuisine. They serve wide array of proteins such as squids, Peking duck, shrimps and lobsters and even turkey during the Christmas season. Again a brand launched by the specialty group and they too have experimented heavily with the Chinese food, we all know. The price is something around Rs 495 + taxes. Just like Oh! Calcutta, they too serve 2-3 starters, soups, 4 main courses and deserts that really provides the appropriate ending to the lunch.
Overall i will give it
8/10 Stars
- barbecue nation( DLF city phase IV, Gurgaon).One of the best restaurants i have ever dined in and believed me out of this joint no-one comes out unhappy or dissatisfied. This restaurant provides a unique service. Every table has a small flag, at first you may think that it is just a show piece but the whole idea is that, they keep on serving starters which include innumerable kebabs but veg and non veg.And then comes the lunch. Just like the previous restaurants this too serves dishes that are very different from the other and their distinct taste can be tasted. Here the only weak point is the lunch. Though i understand that after having such brilliant entrees the lunch moves out of focus. This restaurant also nails the ambiance, the idea of serving the entrees on the table grill itself in order to make that it is hot is eye-catching and very efficient.
Overall i score it
7/8 Stars
( lost some stars only and only for the lunch rest was awesome)
- Indi Joe: Personally, i always wanted to go to restaurant that served continental buffets such as pastas, lasagna, pizzas,etc.And this is what Indi Joe does. It not only serves Indian food but also serves exceptionally well-made continental food. It has a good ambiance and also has a advantage of being a bar. It has a outlet in Ambience mall, Gurgaon. All the dishes is once again very distinct, what it lacks is the taste to certain extent. Though the effort is valiant but i would scored it much higher if they could nailed the taste of the dishes
Overall I score it
6/10 Stars
Music with dinner is an insult to both the cook and the violinist.
G.K.Chesterton(1874-1936)
This quote is very appropriates in this case as these restaurants completely concentrate on the food and makes sure that every customer they serve is happy.
My advice try out all of them and you decide which one you like is the
best. Cause for me it is very difficult to decide
Bon appetit
