kebabsville - sayaji hotel

this is a post regarding poor quality buffet at kebabsville, sayaji, bhopal.
i with some friends from lucknow went for dinner yesterday. even after spending a whopping 9.5k, we were so disappointed that we have blacklisted this buffet in our list.
the veg section feels like a waste of 840 bucks. they serve same old paneer and mushroom on the grill, like they have been doing every single night. there has never been any variation. while my non veg lover friends enjoy different tikkas and starters every time. either the chef's are too incapable of making something else, or the management doesn't want to. in either case, the customer wastes their money.

we ordered cocktails which were again a terrible experience. the cocktails were watered down so much that you could barely taste any alcohol. screwdriver was just plain orange juice, lit had everything else but alcohol, and old fashioned was just sweet water.

the main course was again disappointing, for thr vegetarians of course. lack of chef's thinking power comes into action here. all they can make is a paneer dish and a mix veg. while again my non veg lover friends enjoy countless varieties of dishes.

i hope this bitter review reaches the management and the chef's so that we can atleast be satisfied of the costly buffets we order in the coming times. for me, i'll stay away from this place for a year or two until i hear good reviews again..

ps: they've paid the local food bloggers and foodie groups so that they don't publish bad experiences. my post in bhopal's famous foodie group was not published saying "sir they provide us with event favours like discounts"

the food should name this place kabadville... pathetic starters and main course both..
won't ever recommend to anyone

though it's is at the outer side of the bhopal city, but still stands up in it's reputation. the choice of menu is good, specially the tandoor is best. desserts are unique and awesome. since,i am a non veg consumer i personally liked it.

the best barbecue in bhopal, i always tend to get carried away with the starters that have no appetite for the main course. but its equally savoury. just love the place, the food, location and overall everything about this food haven.

had vegetarian dinner in mid of may 17. ambience is one of the finest in bhopal. with live music and pools side sitting. 
in food we particularly liked the starters/ kababs . pineapple kabab was very good, and we ordered extra servings for it. the main course didnt meet upto the expectation created by starters. but deserts made up for it. 

on the serving front, we felt a bit left out, as the servers were more busy serving table with louder people seated adjacent to us. and we had to call them politely and remind many times for extra servings required by us.

my all time favourite. their starters specially the prawns are awesome. i went during the arabian food festival. live belly dancing was enthralling. food as usual was yummy. you can eat to your fill since it is a buffet and also partake of unending i repeat unending starters. desserts had baklava etc. a great experience.

the food and service both were great. the price was specially very much affordable and the taste is much better compared to other buffets i have been to. a must place to visit in bhopal.

delicious food. lovely ambiance. ultimately the best buffet in bhopal. it has a large variety of mouth-watering snacks. service is also very good. 👍

this place left an ordinary impression on me as i m a vegetarian bt if you are a hardcore non vegetarian than this place will fill you up!! great ambience, excellent service but food was unappetising and buffet didn't have much verity.

this is the best barbeque buffet restaurant in bhopal. it has got perfect ambience for a date. sitting arrangement is near pool side and background music is an add on perfect.
i love the starters they provide . it is crispy corn , various grilled paneer , cheese rolls , kabab etc for vegetarians.
for the main course, they have varieties from daal to paneer.
they have got varieties in salads, desserts, chats etc
everything is perfect about this place.
prices - 800/person for vegetarian

eye catching entrance and interiors.
had buffet dinner (veg) pool side.
live music ! hot kebabs. mouth watering desserts. (6-7 varieties including pastries)
we were served 3 veg kebabs-paneer, pineapple and mushroom.
didnt tried the soup.
vegetables were good (3-4 varieties)
2 types of daal and 2 types of rice
excellent service.

a big sprawling place, loads of tables, poolside, live band (sunday was bollywood and i assume it's the same always). great service & an attentive staff. i was staying at the sayaji so walked in for a beer. the hotel could use the bar space more effectively, they don't have bar stools and i had to unnecessarily occupy a table for just beer on a crowded night. can't comment about the food scene in bhopal and coming from delhi, i am always biased because it's really tough to beat delhi when it comes to food. didn't have food here, but full marks for ambience and courtesy.

the proximity of the hotel through a lane lined by trees on both sides, the serene atmosphere, all call for a second visit. the starters like peanut chaat, nimbu pani, fresh strawberry shake are all good to taste. neatly dressed waiters with fine cutlery, wall to wall carpeted floors add to the taste of already excellent food. veg biryani and mixed veg raita combination is ultimate. their speciality mango resmalai should not be missed on visit.

rated 4 because of ambiance, otherwise it's worth 3! barbeque was good, (prawns not as good as expected), but overall no dish was outstanding other than fish....

wonderful ambience with heartwarming service. the food as multicuisine tastes very good. this place serves only buffet veg and non veg. the menu spread is wide. variety of starters but few to choose from non veg main course. mutton in dum biryani was lil undercooked/overcooked as it was chewy. 6-7 extremely delicious desserts were served out of which lychee rolled rosugulla was eccentric and relishing. the attendants were benevolent and agile.
