If you're visiting Renaissance, it's more for the class of it rather than the food. That being said ,the bite sized snacks aren't bad at all. Overlooking the lake for lunch is a different feeling and must be experienced. Go here with bae.
This is a beautiful cafe, probably the best in Powai as I love excellent service and high quality food and world class ambience with chic crowd.
They have undoubtedly the best buffet or a la carte service offered in Powai .. I have some really find memories of all the food festivals they host from time to time.. not once have I had a single issue with their fabulous food, excellent service or one of a kind ambience , or a sumptuous top in class buffet spread and menu selection...
The view of lake from the place makes it lake view cafe by the property its named, pleasant ambience with the view of Powai lake and an amazing flavour of food with great Indian and continental spread. I would love to give more than 5stars and a special shout-out for staff.
We went for one day stay and we had a lifetime experience in just one day at Renaissance . Love the food and love the staff loved all the hospitality ... Thankyou Renaissance keep coming back.
No vegan options in dessert.

Nice restaurant which has a great INDIAN and continental spread, I am reviewing the dinner buffet spread in this post.
There are total of 7 different sections.
First salad section- with make your own salad option as well.
Sufficient variety in both veg and non veg salads.
second right -opposite to salad you get the soup and snacks section.
At the center you have chaat section - with all the typical INDIAn chaat like pani puri sev puri and dahi puris. And then you have indian veg and INDIAn non veg main sections severing 8-10 dishes in each section
They also have a made to order barbecue in which one can have tandoori pinneples and paneer.
Desert section also has large variety of sweet to offer from cakes to INDIAn sweets etc.
The price for buffet dinner - 2500 rs exclusive of the taxes
Ambiance -5/5
Food -5/5
Price 5/5 (considering its 5 star hotel then I donāt expect to offer such a spread and quality at the lower price)
Nice place to take your family or loved one out for a dinner away from the madness of the Mumbai city.
My favourite is the lake view from the restaurant - with all this itās certainly a place to visit.
Lake view cafe is situated in Powai with a decent and peaceful lake view ambience... The buffet was tasty and had different varieties including the live veggies, meat chicken and fish grill counters... Justified to the rate.. Overall a nice experience..

Visited Lake View Cafe multiple times for morning breakfast while my stay at Renaissance. The place is quite picturesque - if you manage to get a seat near to large windows. Powai Lake's view is amazing from here. The food is quite good and the staff is courteous.

I recently visited the Lake View Cafe at Renaissance Hotel Powai to try the buffet spread and was absolutely enthralled by the evening I had.
The cafe is large and comfortable and in the day, has the stunning view of Powai lake.
The interiors are modern and elegant and the cafe has appropriate seating for groups of all sizes.
Let me tell you a little bit about the buffet.
ā¢Salads, Cold Cuts and Cheeses
This is always my first course and although it may sound like thereās not much effort involved in these dishes, they are highly dependent on freshness. I was quite impressed with the flavours and variety of salad. There were about 7-8 salads with veg, non veg and seafood variants. The cold cuts were fresh and covered meats like pork, chicken and turkey. I also enjoyed thoroughly enjoyed cheese counter.
ā¢Tandoor and Grills
This is definitely my next course at a buffet usually as I do enjoy fresh, hot protein. LVC has some pre prepared tandoor items lying in a hot plate to be picked up instantly as well as an extensive on demand grills counter. I really enjoyed this counter that covered items like corn, paneer, 2 kinds of fish, chicken and sausages. Yummers!
ā¢Chaat Counter
If you are a street food lover, then you are going to be ecstatic about this counter. Itās got every kind of chutney, puri, seb and papdi you can think of and you can just unleash your creativity on a plate!
ā¢Main Courseā¢
ā¢Indian
The Indian selection at renaissance is the largest one in my opinion. It caters to their foreign audience who enjoys trying the local cuisine. So as an Indian at this buffet, you can imagine some of of your favourite dishes to be available. Dals, vegetables, rich gravies, hot breads, rice, pulao, Biryani. They have it all, and theyāve aced it all!
ā¢Continental
This was my favourite counter because it has some delicious, light flavourful food. Butter garlic fish, chicken with jus, cheesy scalloped potatoes and lots more! I thoroughly enjoyed the pairings and flavours.
ā¢Asian
The Asian counter featured a customizable noodle soup with lots of vegetables and meats to choose from. The flavourful broth, pulled noodles and toppings could be customized to your liking.
The counter also had lots of appetizer and main course options. Semi dry appetizers , fish, gravies, rice and noodles all of which were quite impressive in taste.
ā¢Dessertā¢
How many of you skipped the upper part of my review, just to read this part first.
Well, well, well. If you love dessert, you shall not be disappointed for the renaissance has a better than normal dessert spread!
A special waffle/pancake counter + a frozen ice cream counter + Indian desserts + a massive counter of cakes and pastries.
Yes, all of this on one evening.
I found the frozen ice cream counter a great one as you could pick an ice cream of your choice as well as your favourite toppings and watch the chef mash them all together in the exact proportions that you would enjoy. How very satisfying!
The cake counter had lots of flavours ranging from exotic fruits to rich chocolate, cupcakes and tea cakes so as a customer, youāre really spoilt for choice.
I absolutely loved the spread and service and after overeating galore, we decided to take a walk by the lake which was just a stones throw away.
Overall, the evening was an enjoyable and relaxing one and I am sure to return!
Very good food. We ordered indian fare, butter chicken, prawns, mutton roganjosh and dum biryani! Service is good and ambience is okayish, a bit noisy! Prices are understandably steep. Worth a bite overall
Had an amazing time brunching here! Lake view cafe is one of the best places to visit with family and friends. We had gone for the buffet menu where they were running Mixing Thanksgiving Festival. Very beautiful place with great ambience and food.
Quality of food was awesome. We had buffet dinner and loved the pasta, chicken biryani, chilli chicken and all the desserts. The taste of the food was quite Authentic & delicious.
A great place if you want to eat Indian as well as continental. I used my QuickPerks dining card before billing and got 15% discount on my entire bill. I was totally impressed.
Service, ambience and makes it overall a experience to remember.
Really love the vibe of the restaurant and would like to visit again, staff is extremely humble and the food is really great
Buffet Spread was amazing, Staff was very humble and polite to help us explain the spread and special thanks to Aditya for taking care of us
Amazing place overlooking the lake, and the buffet spread is vast, Where as the staff is very generous and anticipating especially Melban the Bartender makes amazing cocktails

Went here for Sunday buffet dinner with family. This place is expensive though. After looking the whole buffet menu I went crazy. Because there were many options. From salad, starters, rotis, pasta, gravy, rice to dessert. In love with their food, service, ambiance. If you want to try different cuisine food then this place is right for you. You need to book the table before 1hr. And thatās the only minus point. But itās fine.
This is sucha amazing place šš it was osm going there, a well furnished area and tasty food whatelse we need guys šš¤¤ I feeled satisfied ..

.
.all thanks too lake view cafe

Had an amazing time brunching here! From signature cocktail to the sprawling lake views its perfect setting that can turn any lunch into a special occasion.
Anf very beautiful place with great ambience and food.
Thank you..
Quality of food was awesome, but quantity of same was not as per expectation.
Lake view cafe is one of the best place to visit with family and friends, will advise to go for lunch.
Let me just say it the brunch buffet is worth every penny . We had the eggs benedict and the cheesy omlettes .the we had the platter of cheeses with cold cuts . Moving on with the bagels and muffins and baked goods . Then some dumplings kimchi and stir fry all with fresh juices . We basically ate our lifes worth there n still couldnt get enough. So it is a place you need to be at !
Lake view cafe is a perfect place for a quiet and romantic date. The ambience is good. The food is excellent but what takes the cake is the service provided by the entire staff. The moment you enter the restaurant , you would be delighted to see the way they make you feel special. I had buffet dinner and loved the pasta, chicken biryani , chilli chicken and all the desserts. A great place if you want to eat Indian as well as continental. Would love to visit again
