uruka

uruka- as the name suggests a night of feasts, this family restaurant is definitely a treat for the food lovers. as tourists we visited this place with great enthusiasm, the lovely food, the great atmosphere and the warm hospitality by ms. karishma made our visit to the restaurant a memorable one. the starters, themaincourse were tasty and different. the suji halwa was the star dish for sure! kudos to the entire team for the great work.

location:(5/5) situated in the heart of guwahati city, uruka is easily located as it is in right beside themainroad 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, chicken pakora, 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, chicken curry, dalir bor tenga, and chicken with 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 and chicken with 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.

great place to be in for the assamese cuisine buffet. the service is really appreciable. however, addition of mutton in themaincourse could have made it perfect.

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 of chicken in starters and some boiled corns still it was okey but when they cross the limit while serving themaincourse, we found hairs in each and every dish of themaincourse 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.

absolutely the best concept with best ethnic assamese food. be it the different chutneys to curries, all tastes like home food. guys you can have a pretty good time with your family and friends in this restaurant. and i really want to point out about the owner(including his family members) who is so down to earth and took really good care of us. also shout out to all the ladies who served us. their outfits, attitude everything was so nice. p.s: they only provide buffet system and no à la carte and it's pretty good. buffet price : 490(including tax)

also themainattraction is obviously "palki" the human robot who will serve you the welcome drinks!

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 the chicken curry..the chicken was 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 themainmeal 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 and chicken fry... plus themaincourse 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...

the owner and staff were very polite n humble. ambience was good. very hygenic. a striking fact is that its an all women restaurent which is vey inspiring n empowering. the buffet pattern is awsome. starters are too yummy. but themaincourse items are not that tastey. can improve themaincourse. for dessert suji halwa was served which was again mouth watering. u guys r doing really grt. keep it up. bt ya have a lot of scope to improve themaincourse.

visited the place yesterday. it was really a place i'd like to visit again, for the well mannered staff and response, the hygiene and cleanliness maintained, the sophisticated outlook and also the food of course. i attended a buffet of rs. 400, that includes themaincourse and the dessert, whereas if you want to add starters, then just add up 90 bucks more. if authentic assamese cuisine and homely food is what you're looking for, you'd love this place for sure. so all in all, it's a thumbs up!!

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, chicken padoka and fried fish. the paneer pakoda was really tasty. the chicken pakoda was like the street pakodas you get these days. i felt that the number of starters were really less.

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

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.

a place for a perfect assamese cuisine
many items which you will love it for sure
from starters tomaincourse and till the desserts
a new concept in ghy and i am sure people h
should give it a try for sure.

food : 3/5
hospitality: 4.5/ 5
ambience : 4.5 /5
price : 3.5 / 5

they serve assamese authentic food. starter served by the staff andmaincourse is buffet. i enjoyed their starters. butmaincourse was not satisfied.

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, chicken to themaincourse, 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.

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 themaincourse. some special attractions were fish chutney, xaar, kosur thuror daal, chicken liver fry, chicken curry cooked in a unique style. in the dessert section the kheer (payash) was delicious. overall it was a sumptous meal.

uruka restaurant..
when you step inside, you can see the reflection of traditional interior decoration, the women dressed up traditionally will welcome you and provide the best hospitality through out the time u be there.
coming to food, they got a buffet lunch, rs. 490 including tax, which starts with some starters, live heater at the center of the table where you can heat your fish and chicken.
and then you get themaincourse with lot of varieties followed by a dessert plate and a beverage of your choice.
i enjoyed being there and eating a soul full lunch!
a must visit resta cutting some time from the busy schedule.
