la uppu

had a dinner buffet. they have variety of options forvegand non veg. nice place, good ambiance moderate crowd

we had been here last weekend. these days finding a restaurant where staff is polite and takes good care of the guests is rare. however, this is one such restaurants where waiters/staff really care about the guests. they are very polite and friendly. food is awesome. loved chicken tomyum soup and few other starters (bothvegand non veg). they even gave complimentary sweets which were really amazing. place is well maintained and we opted for zomato gold. they were kind enough and knowledgeable enough to take the gold code and offer us a discount. food, ambience, staff - i rate 5/5.

as it was our 5th engagement versary we were planning to celebrate our special day. we decided to go to grand mercure - la uppu restaurant.

we were extended a warm welcome by the staff and were guided towards dinning area. we chose a table outside the restaurant, next to the table there was kids playing area so kids can play n dine together
the ambience of the restaurant is very calm and elegant.
we opted for al- carte and orderedvegclear soup, the taste of the clear soup was good.

in starters, we ordered chicken satay and chilly paneer. chicken satay was served with peanut sauce. the taste of chicken satay was mild n good. chilly paneer was spicy and tasty.

for main course, we took roti, dal, chicken creamy sauce pasta and chicken fried rice.

in chicken creamy pasta, big chicken chunks in the pasta wasn't fresh. taste of pasta was just ok.

chicken fried rice was bit salty. informed the bearer about salty fried rice. bearer informed the head chef and chef got us a normal fried rice.
totally we enjoyed this restaurant.

pluses:

1. ambience: the hotel building is majestic and looks like a palace. the le uppu restaurant is spacious with both indoor and outdoor seating. we opted for the covered outdoor seating which was good. it was right next to a mini water fall and a fountain. excellent ambience. they have a carrom board , they also play live music.

2. service: excellent, from the time we entered were taken care of. there were always asking  if we needed anything. perfect. no complaints

3 food: we went for the lunch buffet on a sunday

a) mexican chicken soup: excellent spicy and flavourful, salads : mix ofvegand nonvegsalads: good, breads: good

b)starters: tandoori fish: excellent, chicken skewer: spicy good, tandoori prawn: live counter: good

c)main course: mutton biriyani: excellent, mutton gravy: very good, chicken gravy: good, noodles: good, chinese gravy: good, daal, potato gravy: good. overall main course was good

d)live counters: dosa, pasta , pizza, appam and stew : good

d) soft drinks, fresh lime soda, lassi, thandai: good

minuses:

1. desserts: disappointing: gajar ka halwa : bad, mud chocolate cake: good, choice of ice creams, mango pastry(disappointing), honey dry fruit brownie (good), creme brulee (very good) , fruits, kiwi mousse: all the desserts were extremely sweet. wish they had some more indian dessert options. some of the dessert options didn't seem fresh, especially the mango pastry.

2. price: rs 1250 per person (all inclusive).: i am putting this as a negative because i was very disappointed with the dessert section which i usually look forward to in a  buffet. else for a 5 star restaurant this price is decent.

final verdict: perfect place to spend for a lazy sunday brunch. wish they updated their dessert menu

food: 3.5/5

la uppu restaurant, grand mercure, mysore

this is a new big hotel started recently located near highway circle mysore. i just fell in love with the way the hotel looks from outside, wanted to visit this much earlier but couldn't go due to my health reasons.

it's better late than never, i had been there last saturday for buffet dinner. there is some ugd work going on opp the entrance of this property creating muddy potholes not a good sign at the entrance but ofcourse hotel can't be blamed for that. cars were parked here and there but as there is valet parking that's also not an issue! :d

what really impressed me was the architecture of the building and the lighting used which makes it look like a palace at the first glance! what impressed me even more was the kannada speaking staff in the parking & entrance. it's always good to hear mother tongue that too in a posh hotel like this! 😊

just when you enter the hotel you shall see la uppu restaurant. though nearly maintained, restaurant is very narrow and you have to brush your shoulders with others if people of two tables early around the same time! apart from that colors, lights, presentation of the restaurant is very soothing.

though there was ala-carte, we opted for buffet for usual reason of trying more cuisine. buffet spread isn't huge considering the price! all you get is some salads,veg& nonvegstarters two each, north & south indian main course and some good choices of desserts. what is little new to mysoreans is inclusion of pizza is the buffet! (which only us pizza is serving and radisson did serve for few early days)

salads were good especially it's presentation on ice bed, being vegetarian i felt starters are two less in number as only two starters are served. coconut cashew roll and tandoorvegplatter were the starters which was average on taste. i was excited to eat wood fired thin crust pizza but it disappointed me as it was over roasted on one side and opposite on the other with mediocre toppings. pasta was good in taste.

main course was the real let down in the spread as curries were too bland (hotels of this category will serve bland main course considering outside customers but it was little extra bland here). desserts were the plus point of this place as each tasted better than the other except gulab jamun which was too sticky.

staffs are very friendly and courteous, ambiance is good too but the only drawback is the average food (in buffet, might be good if go for ala-carte)

plus:
ambiance, staff, desserts

minus:
main course, lesser spread for the money you are paying!

price: 1335rs nett for dinner
1010rs nett for lunch
