If you are in and around Trinity circle or near Manipal centre to be specific and want to try a simple , neat and buffet then you should head to Pinxx. The hotel is just above hotel royal orchid reception .
The staff is cordial and friendly . The chats are served to the table . The starters and the rest of the dishes have to be picked by people . The roti basket is also given to all the people on the table where they are seated .
You have a few continental dishes as well . People also have different salad options . If you are planning on a Friday or a holiday it’s better to have reservations as the number of seatings are limited .
Good place for a small team lunch or a small family dine out .
Pricing is decent not too cheap not too costly considering the location and spread of dishes available for the customer. suggestion to hotel management is there are no visible board either at entrance or at gate so that people can find the hotel easily. If they can get some banner or a marking at the entrance then it will become easy to find the hotel .
I had a great experience at Pinxx. The manager was especially attentive. The buffet was delicious and they also served me three starters, naan, coffee and dessert. Highly recommend!!
The place was explored at the last minute as we were searching for an buffet place for lunch and to be honest the experience was really mind blowing. Even though the veg dishes were limited but whatever available ones were really delicious. The staff were courteous and helpful as we were having infants.

Visited this restaurant recently for lunch buffet , I was quite skeptical after seeing the rating and reviews on Zomato . The restaurant is located inside the Manipal centre / complex . You have to take a right at the Trinity signal just before the metro station and the building will be on your left side after about 200 metres .
Coming to food there were just too many items to list , from coffee to soups to salads , biryanis , noodles , pastries , sweets etc etc .
We started off with the soups there was corn soup(veg) and chicken minestrone (non veg) .
The corn soup was pretty good ,but I wasn't a fan of the minestrone soup , I felt there were just too much veggies and too less chicken .
Then they served us starters , I was about disappointed that they served only 2 starters one veg and one non veg . In veg they served hara bhara kebab and in non veg tandoori chicken . I really loved tandoori chicken , the flavour the quantity the size of the chicken pieces were all extremely good . The veg kebab was ok ok not too great
Then there was also a live chat counter , and they served us papdi chat which was also really good , the quantity ,the taste was all there
The bread rolls were freshly made so tasted really good !
Then we moved on to salads and they tasted really really good , there were about 6 varieties of sales but my favourite was chicken sausage salad .
There was dahi bala and dahi dishes . They were all really good .
Then finally came the chicken biryani , it was heavenly ! The complexity of the flavour , the spiceness even the chicken pieces were really coated well with flavour ! And they were lot of chicken pieces which I really liked.. sometimes restaurants in buffets They are really conservative in putting chicken pieces in biryani . There was also kohzi chetinad chicken curry to go with the biryani even that was really awesome ! Ps - damn spicy .
Then there was soy egg noodles which was again really good ! It was hot and wasn't oily or anything though the best part of the noodles was the chilli fish sauce , the fish was so soft and cooked perfectly it was just amazing !
There was vegetarian equivalents , three or four dishes of rice and also noodles and various curries like dal and panner etc . I tasted only the vegetarian curries and they were also really good not great but really good .
We also ordered butter naan , but wasn't satisfied with the taste , the naan was really thick almost to the size of roti , I didn't get much of the butter taste .
We then moved to the deserts , first we tried the dudhi halwa , it was really great it was hot it tasted really good . Then there was rasgulla and dry jamun and both were really good , I loved the way the rasgulla was served . Then there was white chocolate and pineapple pastries , they were really average the white chocolate pastry was soggy , the pineapple pastry didn't have enough pineapple punch in it .
The cheese cake was pretty good . I didn't try the sugarless cake . Then there were fruits
We were first told there was ice cream but then the manager arrived with three big bowls of pista ice cream! The ice cream was damn good too!
Overall a awesome experience , the staff were really friendly and very attentive they served us food to our table , majority of the food was really really good .
Points cut for only one starter which is very dissapointing , bad naan , soggy white chocolate cake and for treasure hunting chicken in the minestrone soup
Food was good, service was excellent and staff was very polite. Overall we had a great time.
Food is really good. Basic spread but worth the money
Centrally located in Manipal Centre, The Royal Orchid's Pinxx, is a great place for an afternoon buffet. From soups to chaat, veg and non veg, plus a moderate spread of delectable desserts. The place has elevator access, a calm air conditioned ambiance and a team of very polite staff, which will make your meal all the more enjoyable. Most of the seating are in cozy pairs, but with an advance booking, they will rearrange the seating for a group of 10-20 people.
It's priced to fit an Executive's purse. My whole experience was very enjoyable but then again, I was in the company of some very lovely people! Go try it out, I'm sure you will enjoy it too.
Second visit and didn't disappoint. Less crowded, reasonably priced in the heart of city! Yummy chat, starters, main course. Just sufficient unlike other over priced places that have unnecessarily large spread and sub optimal taste

Food was good, everything had a well balanced taste. Tandoor bread section could hv been better stocked.
Service is sub par, the 2 waitresses were struggling to manage the large crowd, had to call them multiple times to get a glass of water
Peaceful place to enjoy lunch and dinner
