had my induction at marriott hotels. staffs were very polite and welcomed everyone with a smile. the entrance to the hotel is pretty messed up due to metro rail construction work, and that could be a turn off. otherwise, the hotel is very easy to access.
the food was pretty amazing. they had number of salads, including egg, fish, chicken and mutton. starters were really yum. brinjal fry was my favorite. it was juicy in the inside with a little bit of crunch on the outside. ghee rice had the right amount of flavor and you would not hesitate to have it twice. the fish curry was excellent, and there was no raw smell in it. every dish was properly cooked, the meat was soft and had the right amount of spices, but for the biryani. it was such a turn off, as it was very bland and the meat was very hard. it was little difficult to chew as well.
vegetarian lovers can definitely opt for this place, as they had a wide spread- paneer, mushroom, gobi, zucchini, mixed vegetable curry and what not. their kala jamun was notgreatas it was over cooked. they fried it a bit longer and it had a burnt taste. blueberry cake and tiramisu was such a turn on. they were rich in flavor. they also served ice cream and payasam.
staffs were really helpful and helped us with whatever we ask for. it would have been better if they acknowledge when we speak to them. initially i was wondering whether they listened to me, as they just looked at me and kept walking. eventually, i got used to that. they somehow manage to give whatever you ask for. the number of starters for non-vegetarians was very less. they could have had more sea-food other than the two fish gravies.
a chef was in his own world, talking to a particular customer the whole time so loudly standing right next to us which was quiet annoying. he could have spent more time with other customers as well, which would have made the guests more comfortable and an opportunity for them to address these kinds of customer needs in the future. except for these minor glitches, it was a nice experience. good ambience. decent food.
