“ Nice all-you-can-eat salad buffet and good choices for the main course. Get there early, it gets crowded around noon. ”
“ Here you pick the main grilled dish, then it also gives you an unlimited salad bar. They also bring you fresh fried polenta. You could also choose the salad bar only, but the only protein I saw were boiled eggs. I didn't see any fruits during my visit. They charge a service charge which was a bit strange as we receive only a half service: obviously the salad bar is self-service. This restaurant lacks windows, but air conditioning was on. What most people didn't mention was that we can have a barista made espresso at the entrance for free. I've seen (ridiculously sweet) free coffee in a thermal pot that you pour in a tiny plastic cup, but this was the first for me, and I value Rs 6-8. Very good value. ”
“ Very busy from 12pm to 1:45pm. Around 2pm there are plenty of seatings. You choose from the daily menu, ranging from different cut of steak, pork, chicken, and salmon. The bone in steak and ribeye were both excellent. Great Char grilled flavor. All you can eat salad bar includes grilled vegetables and great potato salad. Lots of selections at the buffet bar for an amazing value for lunch. There are no tourists here, just locals working or living nearby. Service is very prompt, food comes out quick. Great quick lunch spot with delicious charcoal grilled meats. ”
