This is one of the best under rated restaurants. I am impressed by their courteous behaviour. We went as a family of 15 and had a splendid experience for the dinner buffet. Items were replenished in plenty. Huge variety of foods. We have been given a complimentary waiver for kids meals (3). The ambience and live music are just amazing. Looking forward to visit again 🎉🌟

Hands down one of the top 5 best casual dine Veg restaurants in Hyderabad. We happened to be in Abids area and thought of giving it a try for dinner, as we always went for breakfast in Taj Mahal hotel. The crowd was chaotic and we had to wait to get a table. There is no valet here. The security personnel take a great care in maintaining parking decently and in an organized manner. The ambience was good, no "wow"s though. Good hygienic maintenance, I can say. Staff some times be good, sometimes due to the pressure they get, tend to go out of courteous track. This is not a place to go on romantic dates :P But if you crave for the right food, you're at the right place. We were very hungry and didn't want to wait. So cancelled starters and went with main course. We ordered masala tawa pulao very sceptically. The quantity was very huge. It was enough to serve moderate persons. The taste was unexplainable. The chef knew his way with the spices. He knows what he's doing. Every bite was so yummy. A bit spicy, it was. I have had 3 helpings and I was not even thinking about my friend :P To salivate my thirst for the lime sodas, I ordered the sweet and salt versions of lime sodas and was very happy to say that I got them right. The bill was a little expensive but it's worthy.

Well managed. Quite spacious when compared to Taj Tristar. The ambiance is kinda old fashioned.  We had Chilli Honey Fries and Paneer Tikka for starters and fries were really amazing. We had the sweet corn soup followed by Indian Bread. There was a live chat counter, chat was decent. Papaya Salad was the pick of the salads.  Curries section had Methi Mattar, Kadai Paneer, Beetroot fry, tawa veg.  Rice section was good. Biryani and fried rice were decent. Noodles was great with the vegetable sauce.Pongal was something that we didn't expect to be on the platter.  Desserts section had wide variety of options including 4 different flavors of ice cream, strawberry mousse cake. Dahi Vada along with curd rice was on the menu along with sambar. Ambiance - 4.5/5 Food - 4/5 Service - 3.5/5 Value for money - 4/5

Good vegetarian buffet with wide spread of varieties .  Pure veg food. Very affordable . Best part is they keep serving the starters hot & fresh. The food is very delicious and exquisite in taste. Best place in Hyderabad for vegetarian dinning. A very well maintained place and well behaved staff

Perfect restaurant for Veg-only lovers. Lunch buffet for 2 cost us Rs. 826 including taxes.  2 types of rice, 1 Veg dum biryani, Noodles, 3 sweets, 3 veg curries, 2 starters, roti, mango juice, pani puri, pasta - All this for Rs. 350 buffet is justified. But with a full hall, the place is too noisy. Go there only to enjoy the food. Superb quality veg food. So many families turned out for the lunch buffet. Too noisy place. Vehicle parking is in Taj Mahal hotel campus and on the main road.

They keep updating their menu which a great thing. Impressive! Taste : 4/5 Pricing : 2/5 Ambience 4/5

Had been to this place this weekend with family. A decent place for a vegetarian lovers. Staff was nice and as it got crowded service slowed down.  A decent spread with Paneer 65 & veg corn cutlets as starters, both of them went well with Mutter shorba. Roti and butter naan was served at the table but again late service. They had pulihora too which was way better than the veg biryani in the spread. Paneer butter masala & Gobi palak meets expectations. Mango dal, sambar were huge let downs.... Desserts were just normal and ice creams weren't cool at all... Ambiance - 3.5/5 Spread & Variety - 3/5 Staff & service - 3/5 VFM - 3/5

Pathetic service! Ruining customers time, energy and money. pathetic staff! right from manager to serving person. who the hell gets food item and place it in the place that we are eating? like seriously? Hospitality is something that only some people understand and clearly Taj staff is pathetic in that area. Hope I had a option to rate negative.

I would not give even 1 star for the food, only fancy names on the menu for eye catching. Tasteless and will never dine again. Will request diners to not go by name, will regret it later. Only thing is good is fast service that too because they have huge waiting queue... LOL for God sake why so much crowd here... my first and last experience!!
