We&rsquo;ve been coming here for years and the vegetarian buffet still holds up. Lots of subzis and daals, plus eggless desserts which is a win for us. Staff even tweaked a dish when we asked.

The biryani had good flavour but the meat and masala weren&rsquo;t mixed evenly&mdash;some bites were dry, others too spicy. Service was slow too, even with empty tables around. I had a gin and tonic while waiting, which helped. Decent spot if you&rsquo;re not in a rush, but don&rsquo;t expect a quick meal.

Food was properly spicy, not the watered-down version. Clean place, decent seating. Parking is a bit of a pain, roadside only, had to circle a couple times. Service was quick though, got my order in and out within 30 mins. Fine if you&#39;re in the area and want something quick.

Quick biryani and chapatis even between lunch and dinner. Tea plantation view was the highlight.

Hyderabadi chicken gravy with butter naan was spot on. Biryani good too. Service slow but food makes up for it.

Been coming here for years whenever I&#39;m in Ooty. The veg thali still hits the same spot - proper home-style cooking, not too oily. Fish fry was crispy this time, went well with the rice. Place gets crowded during lunch hours but the staff keeps things moving. One of those reliable spots where you know what you&#39;re getting.

Biryani and tandoori were solid, as usual. Service slows down when packed, but staff manage fine.

Dosas were pretty good, but the coffee fell flat. Decent place, just a bit pricey for what you get.

Decent place for pure veg and Jain food. Fresh enough, prices fair. Service is polite but gets slow when crowded. Fine if you&#39;re not in a hurry.

Tried the chilli chicken and egg fried rice here. Solid stuff, not too oily which I appreciated. The checkered tablecloths give it a proper old-school vibe. Only thing is service gets a bit slow when it&#39;s busy, but the food made up for it.

The fried rice and tofu gravy were solid, but prices are a bit steep for the portion size. Good for a casual catch-up though. 😅

Came for the view, left impressed. Mushroom cappuccino soup and shepherd&#39;s pie were solid picks. Bit pricey, but the setting makes up for it.

Been coming here for a while now. Food quality stays consistent every single time, whether it&#39;s starters or the main course. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

The banana cake and mud pie were proper good. Cozy little spot above the bazaar, old-school vibe. Filter coffee was decent but nothing special. Nice place to just sit and read for a while.

Been coming here for a while now. The view from the window tables is still the main reason I keep returning. Food&#39;s decent, nothing crazy, but you&#39;re definitely paying a bit extra for the greenery around. The plant nursery attached is a nice touch too. Good spot if you just want a quiet coffee and some calm.

The pizza&rsquo;s already loaded with toppings and cheese, no need to add extra. Free wifi&rsquo;s decent too, worked fine while I was there.
