Some restaurants I've been in Bangalore and their reviews

"Burrrppp!"

Here is a list of some of the restaurants I have been to, and my opinions - You can take them as a brief review. I am talking only about buffets in the following restaurants. The list is not complete, and I will be updating it frequently. I won't waste a lot of time, describing too many things - Short and sweet, I say... The idea is to only tell you whether you can avoid it or venture... or whether it is really worth it. You can find more information on other websites if any of these catches your eye

Jalsa

Highly recommended

• Food tastes excellent

Mainland China

Recommended

Barbecue Nation

Average

• Starters and desserts are excellent. Starters are no good for pure veggies
• Good service

The Mark Boulevard

Poor

• Extremely crowded
• Completely self service
• Average food, got over two hours before close of buffet. Many items were not refilled.
• Ambience was ruined because of crowd - Felt like a market
• This is my experience. Apparently others have had similar experiences

Ruh

Poor

• Similar to The Mark Boulevard, food got over although they started ordering and getting it from somewhere
• Taste was average, nothing spectacular
• Very bad management of customers - We were made to wait for a really long time before service started.
• Although this was my experience, some of my friends have had very similar experiences. Some people however have had very good experiences as well.

Heera Panna

Average

• Nothing to talk about, it was an average place.
• Try Jalsa instead - Though run by the same management (I heard) Jalsa far supersedes this and Ruh
• Quite pricy for the overall experience.
