We were late for lunch buffet, yet the service was topnotch and they waited for us to complete our lunch before food was moved out. Special seat for kids. Food was good. Beef was amazing.

What can I say, I have a sweet tooth. :-) But the dessert at Masala were really good. The other spreads were also equally delicious in the buffet. Even with us being vegetarians, we had enough choices to go completely gastronomic.

Wide variety and excellent 3/4 course dinner buffet. Cost 1700 inr for 3 which ain't bad. Need more soups though. Had only two. The Biriyani wasnt up to par in taste when compared to its looks.
