My friend and I decided to lunch here after all the rave reviews from various sources. It was calm when we met. The interiors aren't anything to rave about. This is an all vegetarian Italian restaurant and given the competition in the area it takes something for a vegetarian italian place to hold its own.
We opted for the buffet. The welcome drinks (limited) and the starters (unlimited) were served at the table.
The plusses +++++
The baby corn fritters (okay bajjis) were perfect. I ate about 7 of these. We asked for second, third and fourth helpings. Salsa was yumlicious. Nachos with some cheesy stuff was good. I liked the lime water I asked for. They have a live pasta counter and we split a dry spaghetti with loads of veggies. The dips to go with everything was fresh and different - spinach was one and jalapeno was another. Bruschetta was good. Soup was just like how one makes at home.
The minuses -----
The breads- ever tasted bread that was left out in the air for too long? Yep, dry, hard and totally lacking in freshness as compared to warm fresh crisp bread I've had in several other places. For me, to go wrong with garlic bread, my favourite kind is a crime in itself. They have a variety of them assorted, pita, garlic bread and all tasted wooden. The management ought to look into this for the breads are a big part of the buffet. My friend found the kiwi welcome drink too sweet. Desserts were boring. Mango ice cream had ice crystals on it and was made from artificial flavouring.
The biggest thumbs down is for the mosquitoes. Huge buggers that bit and buzzed around us and spoilt our appetites. This was because we opted for outdoor seating.
Would I go again? Yes, when I'm in a mood for spaghetti. I plan to call ahead and ask if they are having baby corn for starters and only then head there and next time, I'll just stick to the starters, pasta and most importantly INDOORS!!!!!
