Quality Hypermkt Salwa Rd Miserable Buffet

Quality hypermarket on Salwa road is a good place, with a variety of products on display in the ground floor only. the first floor has a collection of readymades for all... But the indian buffet counter in the food court on the 2nd floor, is miserable.. there is never any food in the dishes kept for the buffet. when you ask the supervisors they say"a big group just came... or food will be refilled" but we have noticed that they take tooooo long to refill. even the refills are in very small quantities which is not sufficient for a group of 6-8 people too. the dishes are always cold and are never full. however there is plenty of cutlery available. and this gets refilled without fail.I guess the managers in the food court are least bothered about the buffet counter - indian cuisine. i would suggest anyone who goes to the buffet counter, should take a look by opening the dishes, rather than going only by the names written and displayed. Dont just pay QR 25 and get fooled.

Brit, there is food there, it's just not available immediately.

In other words the restaurant is guilty of only putting out what they expect to be consumed, rather than having heaps and heaps of food go to waste. Shocking.

He has a right to expect that the food will be available, no matter what the quality.

So how much do I have to pay to start expecting food in a buffet instead of just cutlery?

This place actually serves the best Indian food at nominal price. Most of the dishes they have priced for around 10-12 riyals which are normally charged around 35 riyals in other places. and its more than worth it. many of our client meetings are held here in the afternoon as there are very few good restaurants in Salwa road. its hyginic and the staff is very courteous. Luckily not many ppl know about this place so not very crowded.

I am always amazed at how people "attack" the buffets as soon as they open and then waste lots of food.

Life Rockz, I think you are the staff of this food court, it is very common in all buffet dinner most of the dishes are empty and it takes long time to fill, and you need to keep on asking them. its a trade secret.

When they started few months back, food was excellent.Service was excellent. Management act smart by pretending they didn't notice empty vessels. This attitude su**s.

You pay 25Qar and you're still complaining?

Thats what most people leave as a tip when they buy a meal.

Should have told them to refill all the dishes before you could start your buffet.

then go to a 5 star or a fine dine restaurant. at least you'll be expecting rather than assuming. :)

M sure it would be just 1 of incident...... We regularly visit the food court out there and have had a very good experience. now common, where else would u get a wide variety of dishes for just 25 riyals.... now, if u compare with high end restaurants which charge 49 riyals and above to the 1 quality food court offers, u cant compare.....

The ambience is totally amazing with service on par with restaurants which u normally dont get in a fast food chain outlet....

Also, the food in the restaurants are so damn cheap with the same quality speciality restaurants offers....

As far as the supermarket is concerned, u will not find the varieties as much as Lulu or Safari provides, but its not crowded and parking is ample.....

I personally feel its worth the money u spend in.

Value for money....
