One of the oldest places in HG, powai. We always tried the buffet, lunch, dinner or breakfast. The spread is standard - soup, salad, main n desserts. The soup is always good, salad n cheese spread are fresh. The breads r nice. Desserts also r great. Mains are ok, not the best. They have a baked yogurt in the breakfast, that's awesome.

Parabola- Rodas Ecotel, Hiranandani Powai 💕 Long review alert 🚨 Overall experience- Food - 4.5/5 Drinks - 4/5 Service - 4.5/5 Ambiance -4.5/5 VFM - 4/5 Detailed review- Parabola is a lovely restaurant Located in the Rodas Ecotel hotel, at Hiranandani Gardens, Powai on the ground floor 😊 just next to Haiko supermarket. I visited with a friend for a dinner on Saturday evening. Easily accessible since it’s at such a fantastic location. The restaurant was almost full except for 2 vacant tables at 7pm on Saturday. Really comfortable and spacious seating and lovely view of the busy Powai streets 😊 and hustle bustle of traffic... They have an a la carte menu as well as buffet during dinner ❤️ We tried few dishes from both 👍🏼 Jalapeño mutton seekh kebab - my favourite in the non veg appetisers section 😍 mutton seekh kebabs but with a twist as these had minced jalapeños too that made the kebab spicy 🌶❤️ and dollops of melted cheese stuffed in the kebab helped cut the spice a little 👏🏽 very unique and tasty seekh kebab! Grilled chicken with rainbow crunch - taste wise this boneless chicken on skewers dish was great - light masalas and spice with a soft yet crunchy outer layer 👌 but the chicken was a little hard, if made softer it will be perfect Masala Hummus and pita, garlic cream and grilled garlic naan - first of all the presentation of this dish was just perfect 👌 hummus was good, I am a big fan of this dish ❤️ but what was even better was the garlic cream 💕 delicious garlicky flavour in a smooth creamy accompaniment 🤩 went so well with the pita bread and naan 😘 Chilli Corn 🌽 Tarts - Savoury tarts with chilli, sweet corn 🌽 kernels and drizzled with cheese! I’m not a huge vegetarian food fan, but this was spicy and tasty ❤️ lovely presentation with croutons 💕 Another veggie appetiser- pesto paneer tikka ❤️ a must have starter for all vegetarians and non vegetarians 👍🏼 Soft cottage cheese cubes marinated in Green pesto sauce and grilled to perfection with veggies- tomatoes, capsicum and onions, in the tandoor 😍 Lip smacking yum 😋 never had pesto in a tandoori dish! Drinks - In cocktail we tried two - Sweet and Sour Orange 🤩 vodka based with Orange juice and grenadine ♥️ Atlantic - brandy based cocktail Mocktails- Non alcoholic Bubbly and Spicy watermelon 💕 Two thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼 for the cocktail Sweet and Sour Orange ❤️🤩 Buffet dinner spread - Reshmi paneer tikka and the Rajasthani murg tikka were delicious in the appetisers 💕 In soups I liked the tomato Pudina shorba more than the chicken noodle soup! Tasted so yummy ❤️ In the mains I liked the Chicken Biryani! Long grain basmati rice flavoured well with spices. The chicken in the Biryani was equally good too - no small pieces, but big meaty ones 👍🏼 Dal makhni with muttar pulav was delicious 😋 Hakka noodles were tasty and a must have for vegetarians ❤️ Penne arabiata was yummy too 😊 Grilled fish was light and fresh, from the continental section in the buffet. The mutton rogan josh and dum Ka murg were both gravy based dishes from the Indian section and were perfect with naan and roti 👍🏼 Jobson was our server for the night. He was courteous and warm. My friend had a cold and while we were deciding on what to order, he offered us warm water 😊👍🏼 he recommended the drinks and even ordered a special cocktail for me after asking my preferences Prices are reasonable and quantity of dishes in a la carte is good ❤️ buffet dinner is at 699 plus taxes! The chef of the restaurant also visited us and was very receptive towards our observations and suggestions 😃 This restaurant is definitely going to do well! Final verdict - Coming back soon! It’s perfect for a family meal or even a corporate party. Hope they come up with new food festivals to keep the momentum going 👍🏼

It located in the heart of Powai near Hiranandani Garden Square, beside Haiko Supermarket. Its ambience is classy, sophisticated and very corporate. It serves two type of dining : buffet and À la carte. Its menu include north indian, south indian, continental and live counter is also available in buffet. So I went there for lunch on a weekday, I love the way they treated me, gave me attention, asked me what I want to have, will i go for buffet or À la carte. So I chose veg buffet : Cranberry Breezer as a welcome drink Pickled onion and beetroot salad Vegetable coleslaw Sprouts salad Tossed salad Subz shorba Dal tadkewali Vegetable pulao Steamed rice Scallian noodles Asian green in chili bean sauce Ratatouille Pasta alfredo Aloo jeera hingwala Kadai sabzi Paneer hara masala Gajar halwa Butterscotch nutty bar Chocolate pastry Blackcurrent gateau Pineapple delight Orange jelly Angoori rabdi Food: I love the taste of food, specially scallian noodles, paneer hara masala, chocolate pastry What i didnt like was kadai sabzi, because the cauliflower in it was not chopped properly, which made me turn down. Apart from it, i liked every dish. This place is indeed the best place i ever had buffet, impressed with the treatment and how open they for any suggestions. Looking forward for more dine here.

We went for buffet team lunch and were thoroughly disappointed with the food. There were flies all over and people seemed least interested to serve.

*Appetizers* Throns of chicken (biryani poppers) with chilly salsa is a very basic but beautifully presented biryani poppers served with chilly salsa. The taste of it very much new and Salsa just adds the right spice to the flavor of the dish. It's like what butter is to bread you can say on similar lines. Pickled onion mutton seekh kebab has a very strong flavor of onions in it. While the soft and juicy mutton kebabs are just heaven. Smoked prawns with mint butter is a new thing which I tried here. Normally prawns are made butter garlic base but they prepared it in mint butter which add a zing to the flavor of it. It's really worth a try. Wine infused river cobbler with lemon butter is another great dish but only for seafood lover. Reason being it is very prominent in taste and those who has a thing for seafood can definitely go crazy for this appetizer. *Mains* Rajwada prawn masala is a very royal version of prawns curry which goes very well with paratha and rice both. The right spices and curry it just very apt for mains. Bhuna Kari kaa mutton is one of the soft and well cooked mutton I had in a very long time. This place does Justice to your cravings so well that it makes you happy. Bengali fish curry is prepared in the traditional way as and how preferred by the Bengali. Mustard is very strongly present in the taste of this dish. Not a mustard lover? You should definitely avoid this. Fish and chips is a very classy and go to combo for me. I Kind-Off enjoyed their version and preparation of it the sole fish was very fresh and fried perfectly. Chips on the other hand were little bit oily but that's fine in my opinion. Very oily is something bad but little oil is okay. *Desserts* Aaam ki nazakat is a refreshing end to one's meal. Being in Bombay and getting fresh stocks of mangoes here it is very much appreciated how well they used those ingredients and perfected a dessert like this. It's sweet and yeah for those who wanna lose some calories better gain by having some amazing stuff like this. Gulkaand bhara gulab jamun is a fusion of Gulab Jamun stuffed with sweet juicy gulkand the combo is good. And I think they can innovate more in the taste of gulkand like Rose gulkand or chocolate gulkand many other.
