One of my favourite places to have a full Indian vegetarian buffet. I’ve loved their consistency in quality and variety. From chaat to soups salad, curries to tawa, Hakka and Pav bhaji dosa, variety of naans. Soya Chaap,Biryani,Mutton, Soups are excellent. Even end with ice creams and sweets along with varieties of tea and coffee. It’s a complete experience for a decent price. Highly recommended
