Chilli/Manchurian/Lemon Chicken1
Fiery, sticky glaze with crisp edges, served piping hot — a highlight of the buffet.
"...the highlight 🔥 — served piping hot with really good flavour and balance." — BHARATH D A
Chicken Kabab2
Juicy and well-cooked, this dish adds flavour and complements the buffet experience.
"Chicken Kabab is also very good — well-cooked, juicy, and flavourful." — BHARATH D A
Hyderabadi Biryani3
Aromatic but often spicy; can be overpowering, yet a staple on the buffet.
"Biryani is decent but needs better balance and consistency, particularly with spice levels." — BHARATH D A
Donne-style Biryani4
Inconsistent quality; can impress but often falls short, according to reviews.
"The other biryani (Donne-style) is inconsistent — sometimes good, sometimes average." — BHARATH D A

So: go for the chilli/manchurian/lemon chicken, and know what you're walking into. The 3.9 is everything around the food — not the chilli/manchurian/lemon chicken.
