Being a buffet lover, I am always on the lookout for good buffets place. Was off lately exploring nearby Vashi for some good buffet restaurants. This place got me interested with its widespread buffet menu, so I dropped in with my friends during the lunch to try their North Indian and Punjabi dishes and the beautiful buffet spread. ๐
๐ Location: This place is at 1st Floor, Satra Plaza, Palm Beach Road, Sector 19D, Vashi. It is easily accessible from the Vashi Railway Station via Auto.
โถ Ambience/Dรฉcor/Service: Speaking of Ambience of the place, it was truly rejoicing and gives a flashy rich Punjabi House Kind feel. As you enter this place you will surely get a perfect Punjabi vibe around.. With Punjab mannequin everywhere and even the staffs dressed in Punjabi attire you truly get that feel. They have also worked on getting the ambiance as much close as possible to Punjabi culture. Taste of Punjab not only brings the taste but the overall feel of Punjab. With hourly live performance on Punjabi songs, you are bound to get groovy. The interiors are beautiful with all golden lights, silk curtains, quirky cushions and designed sofas and tables, it is just wow!!! They have very well recreated the Punjab vibe by playing pop Punjabi music, placing various statues of Punjabi people and utensils, those big thalis and lassi glass like a big Punjabi wedding setup. Warmth, good vibes, celebration mood, colours, satins, happy faces, just like attending a marriage ceremony. A fully decorated horse statue is placed in a corner of the entrance, in which usually bride groom's go to marry. It reflects a huge buffet place is well maintained with proper and comfy seating arrangement for both large and small groups. The sitting arrangement of the place is pretty huge, they can accommodate around 80 to 90 people at go. The interior and the dรฉcor of the restaurant is beautifully decorated. This buffet restaurant is really good for family gatherings, team meetings for lunch and dinner. During the weekends is very crowed so prior reservation is required. The service of the place is great. The staffs are cordial, well behaved and were very helpful while we were deciding what to order โค
