cabana terrace lounge - pal heights mantra

been to this place for couple of times for dinner. the ambience of the outlet was pretty good. have booked the table over zomato and got the table soon i reached the place with no waiting time. on my last visit the restaurant wasn't cleaned properly as i could see cocroaches over table. coming to the food, we'dorderednon veg platter, chicken steak, palak paneer, roti. coming to the drinks, haveorderedblue heaven and virgin mojito. drinks were okay in taste but taste of foods weren't upto mark. steak was bit salty. the presentation of the food was nice. all are served with right temperature. staffs were polite. efficiency of service was poor as they takes much time to serve a dish and attention towards us was missing and they don't serve you food. here's my breakdown reviews.

ambience: 4/5
efficiency of service: 2/5
taste of food: 2/5
presentation of food: 4/5
temperature of food: 5/5
worth of money: 2/5


room for improvement: efficiency of service and taste of the food needs to be improved.

apart of ambience there was nothing good enough at this place. service isn’t bad it’s the worst . it took them straight 30 min after we got a table to take orders although there were very few guests and 70% of capacity is still vacant. well in starter weorderedthe non-veg platter and pamphlet fish which was just ok nothing special to be mentioned and in main course we order stuffed kulcha with afghani murg which was just bad. drinks were overpriced and u have to wait at least 30 min to get it refilled. if i have to compare with other nice places in bhubaneswar with this it’s the worst place in terms of service & food where i hv dined. skip this place and thank me later .

pros- hygiene
cons - we were 7,orderedpaneer butter masala , veg kadhaii , crispy corn, sweet corn soup, chilli paneer. quantity is okay, but taste wise it's not worth for the price you pay. you can get better place near by with 1/4th price. not a place to visit second time.

it's a beautiful rooftop restaurant, perfect for dinner dates and family outing. has a soothing ambience. i loved the tent canopies.

coming to the food, weorderedtomato soup, fish & chips, bali prawn, tandoori pomfret, veg schezwan chowmein & schezwan prawn.
the tomato soup was disaster, we returned it after tasting. the other seafood items were all amazing & were fresh too. i loved the tandoori pomfret & bali prawn. i recommend it.

service was a bit slow and when we returned the soup, we expected the soup to be replaced with better soup but they didn't bother to rectify it. they even added it in the bill when we had complained about it and returned it without having it. either they would have replaced it or would have deducted from the bill. that's a disappointment from such a prestigious hotel.

• ambience - 4.5/5
• food - 3.8/5
• service - 3/5
• value for money - 4/5

ambience was good
but didn’t like the food much.. whatever weorderedwas oily and had only two options for mocktail.. which was not even included in menu..

the ambience is grt.. nd u get to have nyc clicks only if u have a hifi phone.. nd d food ws bad everything iorderedws too sweet.. nd the service nd presentation of food ws far below the pricing standards.. 😊

any rating the place gets is because of the ambience and comfy furniture.

the service is as bad as one can imagine. the servers are not active enough, they don't even look like they notice the guests waiting to be served. we literally had to wait an hour before we walked up to one of the managers.

the food on the other hand adds to the reason why we would not consider visiting again. weorderedwild mushroom risotto and we got button mushrooms with cheese khichdi instead.

me.ali thank you for the bday arrangement in a short notice. love the decor best ambiance n food was nt tat hyped bt okaz okaz. weordered
