One of the best hotel ever worth the cash quality is awesome af it's worth to go over here♥️♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥
Beat seafood restaurant in Anna nagar, excellent service, Good ambience, good taste, Best place to visit family and friends. Good food at reasonable prices... Go for it...
The food was good and ambience was great but the variety is little less and they charged Rs 105 for service ...I don't know why they do like that
I had visited the restaurant for a friend's birthday and opted for buffet as were a huge crowd. The ambiance is very warm & welcoming. From the outside, you would definitely want to go inside and try the food atleast once. Thats how I went in. The buffet spread was pretty decent & food was really good. Starters were good/ Main course was jus okay/ Desserts were great. Go for it!
Service - Very good
I had been wanting to visit this place for long time .
Randomly one night we just stepped in for dinner and I must tell I just loved it..
The super cool ambience and super cool service.
We were provided first with dry papad and mayo while they were preparing our order
I ordered
Crispy honey chilli chicken: yummy and one of the best starters that I have had 😁😁
Lucknowi chicken Biriyani: I have never been a Biriyani fan but this was a twist and I just loved the Briyani
Overall I would rate this restaurant 5/5
Amazing place for a lovely meal with family and friends. Great service. Especially the buffet was awesome. Great menu line up for à la carte too.
For sure I would recommend this place. Had a lovely time with Family.
A Sudden plan and and we ended up in rose water
Ambience : it was classic buffet decor and was warm and welcoming.
Food : starters where flowing right from the moment mutton sheek was the best among them and we had around 5 non veg starters, couple of veg starters and everything was good no complaint made on it . ✌🏻
Main course they gave us a normal chicken biryani and we asked them to give their signature pot briyani they obliged our request and prepared us pot briyani it was good and had lots flavour in it ✌🏻.
There were variety of curries and breads available. We tested couple and it was really good and final part set is a dessert they had limited items and there was no variety in it I really hope they add some more items to the dessert
Overall good place to hang out
Special mention to the service 😄
Costed us 700 per person

Located in Anna nagar, this was a quiet dinner for me. The food was real good. My fav would be the chicken lollipop and the jelabis. Price is quite reasonable for the food too. Friendly staff.

I went for buffet... They have lots of varieties.. Chinese kebabs chats in starters to amazing curries and biryani is decent here.... Desserts were pretty good.... For the rate they charge food punches way above standards... Trust me this is a good pocket friendly restaurant to visit... Ambience was decent... Staff were amazing to suggest you dishes..
Went to this kinda swanky restaurant located a little in the interiors of Annanagar for dinner.
First off,the ambience was pleasant with greys dominating the room.They do have two enclosures with tables for people who prefer some privacy.The napkins we were given were extremely off putting though!
We started with the veg tom yum soup which was brilliant for the rainy evening.It had ample amount of mushroom,red chilli,lemongrass,broccoli.
We went with the pudina paneer tikka which was served a little undercooked.On our request they accepted to take it back.It was slightly better the second time around but wasn’t still perfect though the flavour was there.
Next came the stuffed mushroom biriyani.It was brilliant.The mushroom was stuffed with cheese and ginger garlic mostly,from what I could make out.But the rice was amazing and made me extremely happy.
For dessert we had Gulab jamun with vanilla ice cream which was again spot on.
The menu here was very elaborate and will definitely come back based on my dinner experience.
Living literally one street away, I’ve always been hesitant cause honestly I never liked the name rose water. But after a few peeps recommended, went there oh boy. Never judge a book by its cover! So they have an entire floor for buffet alone, but even though the place seemed empty. The manager insisted that there are reservations taken in prior and pushed us to the a la carte downstairs. They have a live fish counter, where you can select the fish of your choice. Highlight was the blue crab roast and fish tava fry. Everything was on point except for the phirni which was a tad bit disappointing. Will definitely try their buffet the next time.
I've visited this place several times for both ala carte and buffet. Very good place for non vegetarian food. The buffet features a few dishes executed very well. Will definitely recommend it!
Manager Mr Kannan was so polite and he also served food with perfection. The hotel AC are good and the food taste are so nice and tasty . The juices are nice and the rates are also good. Starters are nice and milkshakes are good too.... overall it’s a good restaurant to have a dinner.... 👏🏻👏🏻
The foods what they provided was very fast and the taste was seriosuly superb.. ..Muttons freshly made.. and the prawn soup is very tasty😍😍...
Kannan manager who sorted out us in our foods ..that guy is very humble and i think we can visit again and again for their superb food menus and his humble response to customers..
Over all a perfect place for family and friend's 😎😎😎
Good ambiance
new place
a must try in anna nagar for sea food they have live sea food counter buffet menu ala carte and more
their party hall is also good and the starters was just wow
they should improve on biriyani
Overall a good place to try

Ambience 5/5
Service 4/5
Food 5/5
A great place to have a good meal with your family. Visited this place several times and the food is great always. They take quite sometime for preparing but the food is worth all the wait.
Visited this place after a foodie friend of mine suggested this place and the place kept its name..first of all the ambience is so superb and the staffs are so courteous even at the fag end of the day when we paid the visit..We ordered prawns made in chukka varuval style and chicken lollypop,both of which were lip-smackingly good..On a conclusive note if u wanna enjoy a cozy dinner visit this place with your loved ones..
PS-U can choose the sea food from their pantry fridge
A banner outside the restaurant invited us in for some "authentic Kerala cuisine," and that became further evident from the generous amount of coconut oil used in the tawa fish, but as it happens Rosewater serves more of a variety of North Indian, Asian and Continental dishes apart from those of Kerala.
It is a fine dining restaurant where pretty much everything tastes wonderful. The restaurant has both buffet as well as à la carte options. We went for the à la carte, here are some starters that we would say are must-tries:
Tawa Fry: you get to choose your seafood out of the many on display, tawa fried seer fish is a great option. The pricing is as per size of the fish.
Crispy Honey Chilli Chicken: this was really good, honey with chicken can never go wrong.
Garlic and Butter Prawns: One of the best prawn dishes we've ever tried. Definitely give it a shot when you go here.
Don't judge a book by its cover... Tatz how i d like to describe my experience with rosewater :-).... What strtd off as a simple Sat dinner hunt fr dinner options ended in an amazing experience.... Gotta thank the place n staff for that.... So as my tagline goes tho we weren't greatly thrilled by the strong stench of fish whn we entered the place we juz decided to go with it and get settled to... First off the place is tastefully designed... A def 8/10 for tat and wen it comes to food its a sureshot 10/10 as all tat we ordered was a hit right from the yummylicious paneer tikka our all tym fvrt (tho it turned out a lil spicy for my lil one) well tat dint stop him from enjoying it😊... Then the manchow soup was nthng less than perfect .... The egg fried rice was (for lack of words 😁) supple n tummy friendly nd tastefully cooked perfect to the last grain.... The paneer sirka was well kinda weird but still made us fall in love with it as we gulped it down in the due course.... The chikoo milkshake couldn't be anymore perfect n thirst quenching (tx to us nt wanting ice lest it spoils the real purpose of the thirst nd the need to have sumthng soothing).... And finally thanks to the gentleman tat waited on us with utmost patience and lovely suggestions, great diligence in gttng the food on time alllll of these with a smile may i add ☺️.... Spl thanks Arjun sir.... Oh lemme nt forget the finale touch that almost gives u a royal feel.... Rose petals sprinkled finger bowl.... Indeed a royal touch and a super eco friendly tote bag to pack ur left overs..... In toto ROSEWATER rocks.... Thanks zomato for the suggestion n tx to all the courteous staff tat waited upon us making us feel like nthng less than royalty 😔😊.... Kudos keep the gud work going👍👍
Pleasant ambiance😊 Excellent service and good food. Mutton sheek kebab and pineapple tandoori was excellent. The deserts were also amazing specially matka firni 😋
Superb non veg buffet at reasonable price.
Place Neat and the person there , Service Good.
Vy Calm Eco friendly.. Especially taste of each dishes very tasty 😋 Crab , Potato fry
Godwin.. Thks to , Serviced by Floor Manager Kannan.
The food ,service and ambience were excellent. The buffet menu is perfect. Polite and friendly customer service. Had a good time with family.
One of the best seafood restaurants in Chennai. The wide variety of fish are mouth-watering. Their kerala cuisine fish varieties worth giving a try. A perfect ambience and service. Need to try the buffe asap... Totally a good brand (Rosewater) established in good place..
Anna nagar has always been a great surrounding to dine in, flooded with restaurants of different cuisines if you're from the western part of Chennai. One such addition to this area is Rosewater. A very unique name, and by sticking to it, they serve Rosewater as a welcome drink to start with and end it with Rose petals.
Rosewater is a multicuisine standalone fine dining restaurant, which spreads across three floors. First floor for the A la carte menu, second one leads to the buffet and third being exclusively for the parties and events. EazyDiner and Rosewater hosted a Chinese New Year festival which runs from Feb 1-15, where my friend and I visited to try their special curated menu for the same.
Minimal decor, yet it stood out and was in par with the festival. Hangings of Chinese lanterns added more brightness to the dining area. First floor can seat upto 40 people in the go roughly.
We started our meal with a rosewater, which was super sweet and refreshing. In soup, tried the Tom kha special seafood, truly one of the best seafood soups I've had so far-Yummy and spot on. Starters included Chong Qing Chicken lollipop and Prawn Butter garlic. Lollipop was yummy, well done. I'm a big time Prawn lover, so this was definitely standing out for me,Tasted great. Mains included Sizzling seafood fried rice, chicken sizzler with oyster sauce and chicken chilli gravy. Seafood rice was good, it had some bits of prawns, somehow i felt it lacked a bit of spice. Chicken sizzler was well done, and the sauce was spicy enough. Chicken chilly gravy did not suite my palate. I felt it was tad bit burnt, and the soy saucw was overpowering. Desserts include Carrot halwa and Saffron Rasmalai, of which I just loved thr rasmalai. Done well and tasted excellent.
The fest is on till February 15, for both lunch and dinner. It's a great chance to check out the Chinese delicacies that are served here for the fest. So don't miss it.

Myself and my wife chose Rosewater in Annanagar for our dinner and opted their buffet to try their spread.
We thoroughly enjoyed the food, ambience and service of their courteous staff.
Pani Puri, Dhahi Puri, non veg starters, Lucknowi briyani, breads with butter chicken, pasta, chicken oyster sauce, deserts - rasmalai, strawberry mousse and firni were just outstanding.
Their efforts to provide good food and experience was evident.
Will have to come back for their sea food from their a la carte menu.

We celebrated a birthday/anniversary at Rosewater. It was a relatively new buffet place, so we were the only big group at the venue at the time.
Food: 4/5 – Their buffet spread was good. The welcome drink was a delight, Rosewater with Basil seeds. The starters are brought to the table and served, as there is no actual live grill at the table. The offering is basic, so don’t expect exotic foods here. We liked the chicken tikka, mutton kebab, crispy chicken and fish starters. I was excited when they served pepper crab too, but it was pretty disappointing as the meat was bland because the flavor from the masala did not adequately mix. Vge options were pineapple, veggie kebabs, gobi and chaat. Veg and Nonveg soups are served too, but I generally avoid them to keep space for other delicacies. Dessert also included the basics like rasmalai, phirni, cakes and icecreams, nothing exceptional.
Ambience: 5/5 – They have separate floors for A la carte and buffet dining. I’m pretty sure there is a floor for banquets too. Since the crowd was less, it was pretty quiet too. Ample seating is available for groups of various sizes. Our seating was in a separate room near the entrance since we were a group of 15+. The placement of the main course dishes was at the center of the main dining area. Picture perfect moments were many as the place is well lit.
Service: 5/5 –Their service was good, and any extra serving of starters was quick. Valet parking is available, but there is more than enough parking space in the vicinity too.
Overall, it is a decent buffet outlet in Annanagar, and you get your money’s worth.

Nice buffet dinner experience. After a very long time tasted hakka noodles which reminded me of similar taste at Taj during my teens. Perfect ambience, food from welcome drink to dessert. Satisfied spread for a vegetarian. A little tweak here and there would be perfect. Disappointed with withe curd rice, very important to end a veg meal and corn starters. Otherwise fantastic.
Rosewater Fine Dining restaurant that is been newly opened in Annanager is a perfect place for great food they serve both buffet and A la carte.
They have 3 floors
Level 1 - Fine Dining, which caters Indian, thai, continental, Chinese cuisine.
It also has its seafood array with assorted fishes, crabs, prawns & lobster.
Level 2 - Buffet Hall, they almost serve 20+ items starting from their welcome drink, starters, salads, curries (veg and non veg), desserts and chat counter.

A spicy grap soup 👍
chicken zatari kebab and milli juli sheekh kebab ❤️

MAINS:
I JUST LOVED THEIR FISH MANGO CURRY ✔️
I personally recommend you all to try it ❤️ it was actually served for roti along with 2 other Currys namely chicken thai curry and dum handi gosh but then we ended up getting a steamed rice just to have it along the fish mango curry ❤️
Fish tawa fry ( it was good but we felt that the malasa need to be fried little more as we could sense the stickiness)
Fish kandhari is another (MUST TRY ✔️) it was too good 😍
Lucknowi chicken biriyani i actually dint feel it as a biriyani 👎
DESSERTS:
Rasamalai, phrini, kiwi mousse 👍
The overall dining experience was good i just loved their peaceful ambience ❤️
The restaurant that is offering Great food in the best ambience @ affordable prices .. .

I specially liked the Tandoori mushroom roasted, crispy baby corn, Lucknowi biriyani chicken.. The biriyani tasted very different and it is unique in its style of preparation 👌🏻
Tawa fish tasted very yummy
For desserts, there was rabri Muzaffar, jalebi, Gulab jamun, rasamalai, orange mousse, chocolate mousse, matka phirni, vanilla and chocolate ice cream ..

There are way too many restaurants in Anna Nagar ,but one that serves buffet all day is quite rare and this restaurant satisfied that.
The interiors are classy and royal like...
Coming to the food,they serve six veg and non veg starters that also includes crab cos it's Christmas and the crab was succulent and spiced right..
Tom yum soup-💙
Fish fry-💙💙
Their menu focusses on Italian, South and North Indian dishes.
Jelabi is on their dessert list which is an added bonus❤️❤️along with Rasamali and gulab jamun..

Rosewater Annanagar- One of a kind restaurant and definitely a crowd pleaser with the best buffet spread in town, Be it the starters or the main course- the food is top notch plus there's quality/quantity /variety/ flavor and every starter/main course is prepared piping hot as per need without any wastage. The interiors and the ambience would definitely please any crowd/ family and is certainly worth the money. Do give it a try if you fancy a lovely evening with family and friends :-)
Taste : 4.5/5 ; Ambiance : 5/5 ; Service : N.A ; VFM : N.A
Rosewater Fine Dining is a new restaurant to land in the locality of anna nagar which itself is loaded with places to eat and to stand out you need to be something special and with this in my mind i agreed upon the review session held here..This restaurant is located on the 4th main road which is quite a secluded here and hence the problem of traffic is off the question which leads to a decent parking space and also peaceful environment...
The Restaurant is divided into 2 floors where the first floor is for A-La Carte the second is for buffet..Though dining areas are between small and medium they are well made and well organized and give out a fine dining look..The A-La carte restaurant can seat around 50 odd ppl and is also spacious too this also includes a couple of PDRs too..They specialize in seafood which is evident with the presence of a live fish counter which has a lot of varieties of fish that can be cooked as per our wish..
The Buffet hall is bigger in size with a seating capacity of 75+ ppl with the buffet counter in middle..The Ambaince here too is rice and it gives a fine dining experience...And here too there are couple of PDRs with 20 PAX capacity...The Buffet items which include Soups, Salads, Maincourse and dessert all well arranged too...
We were here to try out the buffet basically but were also served with some of the A-La Carte Main course items..The starters are served on the table and these are bbq starters FYI..Given below is my take on them...
Welcome drinks consisted of the signature Rosewater and Lemon juice..Both were pretty decent with the rose water being rooh afza with loads of basil seeds/Sabja..
Soups : Pepper Soya Chicken Soup : Spicy soup with loads of veggies like mushrooms. babycorn etc with also generous amount of chicken Cubes..This was the part of the buffet in addition to which we were also served a spl crab soup which would be any seafood lovers delight..It was so thick in consistency and rich in taste with loads of veggies and generous pieces of crab..
The Starters impressed me a lot as most buffet places have starters mostly of the same bbq taste..Just differentiated with chicken and mutton..But here the starters were of different variety like Tawa Fish, Pepper Fish and Khandari Fish and mind you the fish used here are rich vanjarams and hence were sood good in taste..The Khandari Fish with rich taste of coconut due to presence of coconut cream and cooking in coconut oil was my favorite...The Tawa fish was more of chettinad taste with rice flavor of curry leaves and the pepper fish was spicy and tangy in taste leaving a lasting impression in my mouth..Tandoori prawns we so delicate and yummy in taste that i just loved them..Couple of chicken tikka varieties that made to the table were the kalimirchi kebab and kasthuri kebab which were quite average in taste but the freshness of the chicken was evident in the succulent pieces of meat...total of 5 veg and 5 non veg starters are served of which we ditched the veg ones..
Main course that was served to us was of the A-La Carte menu which consisted of naan varities like Garlic naan and Tandoori roti both of which were pretty decent IMO..Along with it came a new naan variety called as the Taftan which was bit fluffy bread which had an hint of yogurt and was topped with seasame seeds..Gravies that accompanied were Butter chicken which was the usual with rich butter taste, Mutton Handi which was really good in taste and super good in consistency with well cooked soft cubes of mutton..The Dal Makhni was too good and had a thick consistency and rich taste...Lucknowi Biryani also came to the table cooked with a layer of dough on top which held the flavors intact..But here the Biryani was kind of tweaked to the likeness of chennai ppl as this had few slices of chilis and hence was bit spicy which is not how the luknowi biryani is but nevertheless was really good..
The Desserts were usual Gulab Jamun, Jelebi, ice cream and cut fruits in addition to their spl Malai Phirni which to me is a must try..So rich and good in taste...
The Pricing of food items in A-La Carte varies from average to slightly on the higher side but the food and service was well worth it..I did say about standing apart and this place stands apart in the department of starters..Though not that great in variety the ones that reach the table are really fresh, rich and good in taste which is not the case elsewhere...Priced around 500rs-775rs based on veg/non-veg option and weekends this is definitely worth a try...

😍😍😍 Rose water fine dining - a hidden gem in Anna Nagar.
AMBIENCE - It is royally fabulous. The lights and seating give us a very good vibe 😍. Buffet area is in second floor and ala carte is served in first floor
FOOD- we tried their buffet menu.
Five non veg starters and five veg starters available for buffet on any given day. Menu changes everyday. 😍😍 For group bookings we can choose our desired dishes.
Must try dishes - salt and pepper prawn, kasthuri chicken, khandari fish, matka phirni, rasmalai, muzzafar.
Khandari fish was perfectly marinated with masala and well cooked. Salt and pepper prawns is one of the best prawns dish in chennai.
Their lucknow briyani is a hyderabadi styled briyani presented in a very desirable way. But it tasted more like normal rice mixed with chicken gravy.
Among the mains - mutton handi needs a special mention for the tender soft mutton gravy.
Their desserts are very yummy - rasmalai and matka phirni make us crave for more.
Other dessert dishes include - chocolate and orange mousse, chocolate and vanilla ice cream, gulab jamun and hot jalebi.
Most favourite dish here is their rose water with chia seeds 🤤🤤 refreshing, sweet and healthy drink.
PRICING -

SERVICE-
Service is prompt and quick and waiters are ready to attend to our call anytime.
Four stars for their wonderful ambience and the excellent service.

For first time we went here. The ambience was the best in Anna Nagar. There was 4 veg starters, 3 chicken starters, 1 fish and mutton starter. 2 chats both were good. Main course the Briyani was superb and perfect dum. They had 4 different types of non veg gravies each of them had different taste and were very good. In desserts they had cute little gulab jamun a and rasmalai . The matka phirni was the best of the lot it was less sweet but brilliant.Must go with your family and friends.The best value for money buffet I have ever had.The best restaurant in Anna Nagar period.

Awesome place. Ambience wise also food wise.
After going lot of BBQs wanted different kind of buffet. Really enjoyed. Perfect place for going as group & for buffet. Quite economical too.
When we hear the word ROSE WATER, unknowingly own mind drives toward a spiritual, calm, peace mode. With this name ROSE WATER , a fine dining restaurant has new launched in Anna Nagar with sea foods as their strength.
Starting with food, we had CRAB SOUP, I personally felt its not my pallette. the soup alone was so good with refreshing taste, which can perfectly fix your appetite for you lavish meal. But addition of crab to the slurpy soup didn't melange well.
Since its a buffet you get to taste 5 to 6 varients of starters,
We had ZATARI CHICKEN TIKKA, which was so soft and succulent with mild flavours.I had a notion that Zatar is a herbal paste made with basil and olive oil and it was an eyeopener for from because it is actually a seed. Which gives a zesty tinge to the dishes.
MILI JULI SHEEK KEBAB, again sounded so weird when the waiter was explaining the dishes, it's sheek made with both chicken and mutton. The sheek was so juicy enough to pop out its relish.
ONION RINGS, A simple and classy serve, which had a perfect crispy outter with smoky hot onion inside.It would have been a amazingly good serve if it had some beer fragrance in it.
CHICKEN LOLLIPOP, I personally didn't like chicken lollipop because it had a dominanting sweetness in it. But overall it was a kind of sweet and tangy serve.
CALAMARI SZECHWAN, calamari is one of the delicate meat which should be handled with great care, because it cooks in seconds. I felt it was overcook and had a chewy texture. Apart from that the marinate was too good to compliment a south Indian tastebuds.
Apart from this the do have a seperate sea food section, which has catches like tiger prawns, Crab, Seer, Red snapper, pomfret and lobsters. You can choose your choice of fish and make your favourite dishes out of it.
We tried Rosewater special TIGER PRAWNS, which was perfectly cooked with some smoky and creamy masala. It was served in a sizzling hot plate and we had FISH TAWA FRY AND FISH KANDARI, which are dishes made from white pomfret which tasted so delicious.
Moving on to the Main course we has Malabar fish mango curry, Thai green curry , Dum handi Gosh with assorted breads and Stream rice. I liked all the dishes and the Malabar fish curry with steam rice was out the world.
For dessert they had litche mousse , kiwi mousse, gulab jamun, phirnee, jalebi, cutfruits and icecream.All tasted good but nothing to rave.
Overall its one of the best place in Chennai to experience the best sea foods.
Although Anna nagar is a happening place in terms of food as there are many new places coming up every weekend. There has always been a huge hole for buffet places. That is where this place fills right in.
"Rosewater" is a generic name and they do all their best to match to that name starting from Rose water sabza as welcome drink and sprinkling few petals of rose in the finger bowl which feels kinda nice.
They function in 3 levels - First floor is their fine dining restaurant which is peacefully designed to give you a pleasant experience. It also has a live sea counter with array of fishes, crabs, lobsters and prawns. You can choose any of your liking and they will happily cook that for you and also caters Indian, Thai, continental and Chinese cuisine.
Second floor - is the full time buffet counters serving 20+ dishes (welcome drink, salads, curries both veg and non-veg, desserts and a live panipuri counter). It also has private rooms for corporate or family dining. Prices start at Rs.550 for V and Rs.650 for NV (may slightly vary).
And, on the third floor is their banquet hall.
These are some the dishes we tried and absolutely loved it. For starters Onion rings, Chicken lollipop, crab chilli, Mili juli seekh Kebab, Chicken Zatari kebeb, Calamari Schezwan.
For main course, Taftan with fish mango curry, Thai chicken curry, Dum handi gosh and Lucknowi chicken biryani. All the 3 curries were excellent and you can even have them with steamed rice. The biryani was slightly less spicy for my palette.
From their Sea food array, we tried Rosewater special prawn sizzler - perfectly cooked prawns with nice gravy with a smoky flavor. Definitely, the best!
Fish tawa fry and Fish Kandhari - these are white pomfret from the live counter.
Overall, this place is a good value for money and definitely a must try.
Good enough and giving my whole heartfelt 4* rating for the first restaurant in Chennai in the very first visit
Went for a lavish team lunch on 28/11 and appreciate the effort of one of my colleague ( Ashok S ) for finding such a nice venue. Thumbs up 👍. Below are my detailed observations
Ambiance - great 5/5
Parking - limited , may be 6/7 cars max but you will get it in working day
Tried mostlt nonveg as our kartika masa celebration was just over on 24/11
Service - awesome , most of them are from Northeast who are best known for their great service in this industry. Cheers 👍
Food - Super , keep serving good stuff
Welcome drinks - fruit punch , rose water ( their signature drink ) - impressed me from beginning
Clear chicken soup - exact bang on right taste
Pani Puri as a starter - where they have failed as neither the stuffing nor the spicy mint/tamarind water had the right combination ( Only few states where you find the best pani Puri is Odisha , bihar and parts of UP & Kolkata as well ) but won't decrease my rating for this minor mistake
Tawa chicken was little over spicy and salty but good
Mutton seekh kebab - really good and soft while keeping the mutton taste intact
Chicken lollipop - slightly burnt but taste was at par ..can pay little more attention while preparing this just to remove from oven just at right time . Lemon slices would be a great add-on
Fish pepper salt - good enough , didnt get the fish name but
Chilli crab - tried crab after a good gap . Can be improved . The disection was not accurate , some some pieces was having flesh and some having not..
Main course
Totally thumbs up for prawn mango curry and methi fish curry
Mutton rogan josh - not at par , gravy was not good - learn it from Hyderabad or north India
Naan was good but Tandoori roti could have been better
Dum biriyani - pot was covered with cooked wheat roti kind of stuff ( Hyderabad recipe will have just the dough cover) just to keep the aroma intact inside , one plus for the chef for this idea . Taste was 90% matching with Hyderabadi dum biriyani.
Sweet Dish
Didn't try much to avoid sugar stuff
Firni was good enough with controlled sugar
Rasmalai - was soft but taste of sweet syrup was average and small room for improvement
Note : haven't tried any veg stuff and won't be able to rate . Allu patty and baby corn ( forgot dish name ) in the starter was good.
Overally , a satisfied and heavy lunch at affordable price.
Good experience, delicious food and exceptional service
Biriyani and sheer Kebab was amazing.
Nice spread ....... overall a really good experience.

Very good restaurant in Annanagar, so far I have visited, I love the live counter which is only the cost they don't charge extra for preparing and it's worth of money, welcome drink of rosewater and finishing touch with jelabi...😋😋😋😋😋 please do visit and share your reviews
One of the best places I've visited! Such beautiful ambience! The taste here is amazing and a delight to the taste buds! A special mention to all the veggies about Stuffed Mushroom ! Its one of their signature dish!💯
Their mocktail varieties are amazing as well❤️
4.1/5
Rosewater might seem like just another restaurant with a plethora of confusing varieties. (They have a party hall, buffet and an A la carte. However, according to me their buffet is a winning catch.
They have a different buffet menu for different days of the week. I've only tried the Indian menu so far.
They have a variety of melt in your mouth starters that I could not get enough of! Decent main courses. Average desserts. I definitely think they should improve on their desserts. Not necessarily quantity wise but quality wise.
Overall, great experience!
Definitely will be going back many more times provided they don't increase the prices
Very decent food Not a very huge choice but the food an service were better than anticipated The best of the starters was dahi poori and was pleasantly surprised to be served dum biryani A special mention abouta the yum hot jalebis Pocket friendly veg 625 an nv 700 nett
excellent food, very good ambience, good service, quite expensive but worth it.
its a good place to have a family party, They have a seating capacity of 175 people,
I would definitely recommend this restaurant to my friend. After a long time we had a very tasty food
We tried Rosewater, chennai last week, the food was great, freshly cooked very tasty (especially those sea food were awesome) and the dishes were presented really good. The service and the ambience was overall good. The sweets were delightful and really ,really fresh. Though the food is slightly expensive it is worth all you give here.

I have been there to this restaurant for afternoon lunch buffet. I have gone a little late than the reservation time so the restaurant is completely empty. I have booked this restaurant through eazydiner prime. Since I went late they didn't honor the 15% eazydiner discount. They had waived off my kids buffet cost. They had served mostly veg starters along with traditional fish, one fried chicken, one wings. I somehow felt that the non veg options doesn't meet the expectations and their buffet price of 840 per person. The same price will give you a lot of options in places like BBQ. Veg options was fine. Customer service was good and also the atmosphere. I guess they didn't expect much crowd today hence they reduced options even on the weekend buffet. Adding a few more varieties will make the buffet cost effective. Overall the food was satisfactory.
After 8 months today I have visited royal rose water for buffet. Trust me after long time I find lots an lots of improvement. In food in atmosphere also initiative new ideas trying to Innovativing. This time when we had non veg really very happy with mutton soup mutton sheike kabab, good prawn, fish filters,chicken starters are tatsty happy with chef. Also I had veg vowww ultimate mushroom soup paneer starter with mashroom baby corn 🌽crisp. Vowww desserts are good good beetroot halwa cooked so good. Honestly I never expected strong come back with best quality food. Loved it. Also personally restaurant owner addressed us regarding food ambience. She honestly patiently heard our reviews and idea for improving. Please do visit this restaurant for surprise changes. And their staffs are polite and clam serving really better way.
Went for Diwali buffet and it turned out to be a real festive treat for the taste buds.. first restaurant to serve mutton in all course right from soup, starters, main dish and it was worth the taste especially the mutton biriyani pieces were so tender and scrumptious. Our entire family enjoyed all the lip smacking dishes. Will definitely visit again.
Our team has really enjoyed the delicious lunch at Rosewater last week. Tastes great! Amazing. The food quality and services are top-class. Excellent services, friendly staff and great atmosphere. Nice restaurant and definitely recommend this place.
The food was lovely…..we were a big bunch with 6 adults and 8 kids out of which 6 kids were 5 year olds. The staff was so courteous and accommodating. All the 5 year olds ate for free and the two 8 year olds ate the buffet at half the price. The timings were also convenient for folks who wanted a relaxed late lunch!

We went for the dinner buffet, we were greeted with the warm welcome and guided to a large spacious table.
Ambiance: Pleasantly lid lights great for dinner. Perfect level of music not too loud, good for a conversation and not too soft so people in other tables cannot overhear. It is the friendly place to have dinner with family or friends.
Food: There are two welcome drinks included in the buffet. Five types of appetizers, part of the buffet, are served hot and fresh at the table. The appetizers are refilled promptly at the table fresh and hot. The food is fresh and authentic in taste.
Service: They cleared the used plates instantly. They refilled the Appetizers and waters right away. They were very attentive to the guests.
We ordered Arabic tea, and it was great, we loved it.
Overall, It was a great unique experience and great value for money. I will recommend to my friends and family.
Loved the ambience. They serve midnight buffets which is great advantage for people working in night shifts. Welcome drink was Rose water & Mango drink which is good. Soup was excellent. Starters both veg & non veg are excellent. Main dishes has limited varieties. Deserts are good, I loved the carrot halwa. Customer service was ok, No musical disturbance. One time can try with family or friends.
Glad we found an awesome place to dine in anna nagar.
We found all their food yummy, healthy.
Hot home style non veg soup, starters were served in a jiffy..
Excellent tasty buffet lunch, in live counter we got pop corn & waffle.
All their staff were friendly and speedy at service
Tables and used dishes were cleaned so quickly
Even their valet parking staff were so decent
