Had dinner buffet and breakfast buffet here during our stay at the Sheraton grand chennai. The spread was huge. The dishes were so delicious. Staff were so caring and serving according to the individual needs. Chef himself walked down to the table to find the guests' requirements and made dishes as ordered. The ambience was nice. Excellent hospitality! Will definitely keep coming back to this place and would recommend it to all of my friends as well.
Fo a first-time India visitor as me, the experience was wonderful. Very friendly staff, excellent cusine and a huge variety of dishes to try. Highly recommended!
The spread was good. We had an outing for 33 pax. Everyone enjoyed the serves, food, extended deserts and beverages choices. Although the non veg starters needs some attention and improvements. We could mange with rest of the choices
It was a great great away from city rush hours.
The food is awesome, specifically you have more options for vegetarians. Varieties of desert.
A lavish spread of buffet.
The Reef is certainly a place one should visit. The theme of the interiors were designed combining sea, sand & the restaurant and this alone took 6 months.
There are few specialities which is certainly worth mentioning:
1. They have a 24/7 ice cream counter. Hence those who are staying in the property can have it at any time, as per their wish.
2. There is a dedicated chat counter (which isn’t there in any of the 5-Star rated restaurants).
3. There is a dedicated counter for the western cuisine. This place has its own oven that the pizza and pastas were made on demand from 11am to 11pm.
4. There is a live counter for making Thai Food. You can get Bao & Skewers here. Veg & Non Veg Food are cooked in separate grills. Do not miss to try these(highly recommended).
5. There is a dedicated counter for desserts.
6. They also have a dedicated section for Curd & its products like Curd Rice, Dahi Vada and accompaniments.
7. Of course there is a dedicated Indian cuisine section as well. This features delicacies from South India majorly and is divided into Veg & Non-Veg section.
8. I was literally surprised when I was told that their lavish spread of buffet over the weekdays were priced at just ₹550 and on the weekend,it is ₹800.
9. Lunch/Dinner buffet also has a complimentary beer 😍
10. The ambiance is something which shouldn’t be missed.
Coming to the property as such:
I haven’t had the chance to visit the property since I reached the venue real late due to the sudden downpour. I was told that the property has few restaurants with each one of them providing an unique experience of their own.
They have banquet halls which is good enough to accommodate upto 1000 members.
The sea is hardly 200 metres from the property.
Mahabalipuram is just 25 kms from this place. Crocodile Bank is literally on the next door. Muttukadu boating & other attractions like MGM Dizzee World are located very close by. Pondicherry can be reached within 2 hours.
What more do you need?
Do not forget to visit the property if you’re in Chennai & for Chennaites, if you wanted to relax, this is certainly the best place to visit.
P.S. I will try to give coverage about the entire property soon 😊
The ambiance at The Reef is not easily explainable in a few words. It certainly brings in a blissful and serene state of mind. This place is beautifully planned and has beach access as well. The food is Good , certainly could be better , they could add a few more main course dishes for what they charge ,however it certainly is not attracting the crowd just for the food. If you want a good relaxed evening with family and friends with safe beach access near kovalam even after sunset this is the perfect spot.

Visited reef on 13.8.23. For lunch buffet.. Price was 3000+ tax per head. The buffet spread was huge, all cuisines were included. Some dishes were ok .. Special mention for their excellent hospitality... They make you feel special with their smile and attitude. Their ambience was great.. The hotel has a very beautiful and soothing outside atmosphere. Only thing was their music was too loud that at a point I had headache.. Overall Sheraton is great experience.
We had lunch buffet at The Reef restaurant
and the spread was extensive, exhaustive but equally impressive. We had a pleasant birthday get together & impromptu celebration there. Staff esp Sharon & Ashir went above and beyond to ensure things were like as we wished.. Live music , wide selection of drinks , starters , main course , especially desserts made the family get together even more enjoyable.. It was indeed a premium service & experience.
Nice ambiance and very good service.. buffet menu is awesome and live kitchen is too quick to deliver.. loved the complete place. Kids will have their great time.. Highly recommended to spend some quality time with friends and family..
Had dinner buffet and breakfast buffet during our stay. The spread was huge. The dishes were so delicious. Staff were so caring and serving according to individual needs.
Good food! Service could be better though and the place seemed under staffed. Pricing too is on the expensive side
Excellent food and service by the restaurant ... Good and very sweet atmosphere and ambience... Everyone should enjoy..
Excellent taste.. value for money.. Good service.. All staffs behave like family member. Clean environment.
Great food. Great ambience. Great service. Would not think twice to visit again. A stroll to the beach is at close proximity within the same premises.
