But the experience was extremely disappointing. To be fair, we did reach there just as the lunch buffet was ending, so that could have been the reason for the bad service and low quality food.
First of all the ambience is nothing like photograph suggests.(yes i saw that ad in the newspaper and website...kudos to the photographer!!)Its actually quite tiny and not at all classy. I admit that im prejudiced by my experience with 'sagar' restaurants in B'lore, which is what i was expecting. If that is what you looking forward to, avoid this place!
The Masala Dosas arrived barely warm with the rubbery texture of having been precooked and heated through. The masala was cold! So was the chutney. The onion chutney tasted almost entirely of garlic. And the sambar again seemed refrigerated and warmed through(not heated)
The Mango Lassi was good.
The buffet was finishing as we reached, all the other customers seemed to have opted for this. Since we didnt try it, i will not comment.
Luckily for us the chat chef arrived shortly so they were able to offer us pav bhaji (nothing else) It was a saving grace in that it atleast arrived piping hot. To be fair it was pretty good.(at least in comparison)
We bought a sampler of the sweets on display; besan ladoo, anjeer halwa, kaju katli; and ended up throwing the whole thing out. They were not fresh at all.
Since we arived there around 3pm there was limited staff. They were polite but it was odd that we had to descibe what pav bhaji was. The service wasnt very efficient.(Maybe bcos there really wasnt much to serve!)
On the whole we went looking for a elegant vegetarian experience reminiscent of Indian Sukh Sagar and vowed never to return.Do not go there if expecting the look and feel of Sukh Sagar in India or Dubai.
I would suggest that if they cant handle customers at odd times then close down for the afternoon like most places in doha. To claim to be open from 6am to midnight and not providing good service they might be losing more customers than they realise. Doha is not that large and word does get around. Also a bad experience means you dont get a second chance.
We went on a thursday afternoon. So they shouldve have been expecting a weekend crowd since lots of people do get the afternoon off on thursdays.
