uruka

absolutely pathetic food, quality is very bad i think i have food poisoning. quantity is very less and there's a robot there which looks very creepy. i believe the food was around 3-4 days old. i would've rather ate at street vendor it would have been better. the starters were bland, thechickenfelt like rock.

i went there for my hubby's birthday celebration after watching the reviews. but what i got 😡 was so terrible. i booked a table for 7 people but we were served with so little quantities. they said that because of covid they are serving at the tables. they gave us one small bowl ofchickencurry for 7 people. they dont have enough rice to serve.

location:(5/5) situated in the heart of guwahati city, uruka is easily located as it is in right beside the main road of silpukhuri. there is place for car parking.

ambience:(5/5) beautiful and spacious interiors with large accomodating capacity inspired by assamese culture and traditions.

food:(3/5) this place served buffet of assamese food. the welcome drink is thekera tenga sherbet which i loved. in starters there are food items like local fish fry,chickenpakora, paneer pakora (loved this), prawn pakora, veg pakora, fresh corn salad with 3 different ethnic chutneys. there is endless supply of starters. the mains had 3 sections. first is the condiments which had various chutneys and achaars and salads. second part consisted of 2 dals, all the bhaajis, torkaris, pitika, xaak(greens), fried rice with fish innards, khaar. and the last part contained the proteins local fish with mustard,chickencurry, dalir bor tenga, andchickenwith koldil. dessert consisted of all things made of jaggery curd with jaggery, jaggery coated khurma and sooji halwa. although i liked all the food items, my favourite was dalir bor tenga andchickenwith koldil. and i also feel they could improve their flavour profile a bit. as an assamese myself i am very critical in this matter.

service:(5/5) the best part is their service and hospitality. one of the few eateries in assam which is entirely operated and served by women. all the women are clad in beautiful assamese attire. there are also 2 assamese woman robot serving food. very cool. everyone was constantly asking whether we wanted anything more or less even though it was peak lunch time and the place was almost full.

value for money: (4/5) per person rate was almost rs. 500 which i am willing to pay for such a relaxing and feel good lunch. so value for money is really high.

heard a lot of this restaurant and we have been there today and what we found. . first of all the straters which are pathetic as shit . gave us some fried bones in me ofchickenin starters and some boiled corns still it was okey but when they cross the limit while serving the main course, we found hairs in each and every dish of the main course and when we complained they respond nothing... we almost puked and couldn't have the dinner and even after so much they didn't gave us any discount took 2000 rs for nothing just nothing. . i highly recommend anyone not
go there ... go to barbique or somewhere else but not here.

they call it "tradition with fusion", partly true ..i liked the ambience, the hospitality of the staff.. specially the "robot welcome part". but here i would like to add that they can improvise on their taste specially thechickencurry..thechickenwas a bit stale..but rest items were delicious no doubt.. and q bit more variety can be added in the starters as people focus more on startes than the main meal in buffet meals.. rest it's 10/10..

so, finally visited this place!!!
the buffet food was so tasty, it's pure assamese cuisine without spices and all...
one of the best assamese cuisine restaurant in guwahati, the staff is so polite and humble and the owner is so well mannered and polite, really love the starters paneer pakora, sweet corn, fish pura, prawn pakora andchickenfry... plus the main course was also damn tasty...
the price is reasonable at 490 per head including tax...
in dessert i loved the suzi ka halwa which was made in pure desi ghee...
will definitely visit here again...

my experience in uruka was not extraordinary. i felt it to be a bit overpriced for the number of items and the quality of food they serve.

the starters were a let down. we opted for the non-vegetarian buffet. firstly we got a sour welcome drink. then the starters came pouring in. they gave us a street style american sweet corn, veg pakoda, paneer pakoda,chickenpadoka and fried fish. the paneer pakoda was really tasty. thechickenpakoda was like the street pakodas you get these days. i felt that the number of starters were really less.

the main course was a let down. they had all sorts of typical assamese chutneys, curries but they lacked that flavour. and there was onlychickenand fish curry available. no mutton or any other protein. i only loved the kosu jool and the pumpkin fritter in main course.

the desserts were yummy however. they served cut watermelon slices, curd with jaggery, sooji halwa and coconut balls. i loved them.

the service was a highlight. the staff comprised of only women in traditional mekhela sador and they constantly were asking us for refills and stuff. i really hope they can improve their taste and the quality. otherwise it's a very nice concept.

if you want great service with good ambience for family/friends get together, this is the place to be. but sadly, the food quality didn't measure up. so much that some of my guests had upset stomach the next day. i was happy to celebrate my marriage anniversary the first time but unfortunately the food didn't even meet my expectations of good assamese food. even though the menu mentioned lot of items, they only served only a few items in the buffet.

to the management of uruka, please reconsider the menu if you are going to serve assamese cuisine. we don't mind simple food if the taste is great. but brinjal withchickenparts is a bad idea. so is bhedailata maach with old fish that smelled. sad that you ruined an assamese delicacy.

wish your food menu was as great as the service that you delivered. hopefully you take this as constructive criticism and bounce back.

the buffet here is a disaster.please never try the buffet uncookedchicken..worst experience ..wouldn't reccomend anyone to come here.there was no liver in the liver fry just neck pieces and all

this is a place that has commendably coupled innovation with tradition. it provides an assamese buffet spread at a reasonable price. starting from the appetizers which include fried chickpeas, corn, paneer, (small local) fish fry,chickento the main course, the essence of assamese cuisine has been vividly projected. the sauces served with the appetizers are not of the generic kinds and will leave you asking for more. the flavours of some of the dishes however have scope to be improved upon. one of my personal favourites was the bhedailotar maasor jul which was cooked to perfection. the crockery, including the glasses, is of kaah (brownie points).
we had gone there on a sunday. the hosts and their family were present. they were extremely polite and hospitality was top notch, starting from the moment we entered to the time when we left. they were personally attentive to the customers and offered various options (including a couple of off-the-menu choices) to a customer who was particularly choosy about her food. the staff is extremely well behaved and service is quick. however, they had to be occasionally directed to tables.
the restaurant is spacious and there is enough room to move about without congestion. parking may however be a problem during busy hours.

ordered food through swiggy...what a wastage of money,chickencurry was watery and sweet, and the kheer too was so watery.... really is this what assamese authentic food is...very dissapointed with the quality of the food. thumbs down

come only if a city dweller never have tested any good assamese cuisine. people like me who has tasted good traditional and village assamese foods, this place is really disappointing.

key drawbacks:
1. as per their menu they serve "pura, i.e. cooked over hot charcoal", but in reality evrything is fried in oil, just in table they place those fried items over hot charcoal.
just check the previous pics in zomato only, you will come to know.

2. the fish in "masor tenga" was not properly cleaned, and fish intestine was still present which was making the taste very bad.

3. instead of serving in a proper manner, just after seving 1 pakoda or 1/2 pieces ofchickenthe staff was asking again and again "are you done?" "do you want any more?". a normal person will feel shy to ask for food again and again.

##don't take any non assamese friend to get him some taste you assamese foods, you will be ashamed.

i visited this place today with my family and indeed it was a splendid experience. a peaceful and traditional ambience with warm hospitality. it had a wide range of starters followed by a ethnic assamese cuisine in the main course. some special attractions were fish chutney, xaar, kosur thuror daal,chickenliver fry,chickencurry cooked in a unique style. in the dessert section the kheer (payash) was delicious. overall it was a sumptous meal.

visiting uruka was a pleasant experience. i have rated the restaurant with four stars. however i believe it would be more helpful to the potential visitor and the management, if i provide an area wise breakup of the score. the rating would be based on an overall scale of 5.

innovation (4.5/5)
the restaurant has been genuinely innovative in terms of using many elements of western fine dining traditions and applying it to assamese restaurant industry. this incorporation is visible in the attire of its staff, the dessert tier stand, an assamese buffet. infact this is perhaps the first assamese restaurant to have a live grill on the table.

service(4.5/5)
a word in praise has to be said for the high levels of courtesy with which every customer is taken care of. the lady, probably the manager, was extremely courteous so were the rest of the waitresses and the waiters.

food(3/5)
the menu spread in the main course was satisfactory. but the spread of appetisers was under satisfactory. thechickenthat was served was batter fried and the style was more western than assamese. the prawn cutlet had less meat and more of the binding agent. in terms of the main course, as indicated the variety of choice is justified although there is great scope for improvement in terms of taste. the dessert section items among others included ‘suji ka halwa’ and ‘gur payokh’ which are not a part of standard assamese culinary traditions.

uruka is a relatively new restaurant which specialises in typical assamese cusine. i must admit the service, cleanliness and hospitality of this place is one of the very best in the city.
review
food-(4/5) they serve buffet lunch and dinner @₹490 (all inclusive) and they have some snacks and other items in the evening hours.
uruka serves essentially assamese cusine...home styled food items. buffet comprised of unlimited small fish fry,chickenpokora, prawns pokora, corn salad as starters.
main course comprises of a variety of chutneys and pickles, salad,chickencurry, fish curry, a variety of dal, and vegetables.
people who likes oily and very spicy items might find the food little bland...but overall food is quite good and fresh.
ambience-(4.5/5) the place is quite spacious and well decorated. the place is super clean and well lighted. i liked the ambience, however they could have placed few more comfortable seats. car parking in that area is a big issue.
service-(5/5) simply awesome service....i loved the way food was served and the way staffs greeted us.
i must admit the service is 5star in this place.

overall, this place is a good place to visit when you are really hungry for unlimited home styled foods with family and friends.
