Availability
There I was, at a Sofitel property in a country known for great hospitality and attention, yet standing up and running after the waiters to get service. Never again.
The food quality was good but it lacks in taste.
Too much Indian food on offer and limited choice of international cuisine is something they can look into but no complains. Everything was nice. Too many deserts on offer.
See my previous review during dat tym i visited for lunch and enjoyed it but today was really dissapointed to see the quality of the buffet (being a brunch) have deteriorated, went to sofitel thinking about the japanese food along with global food selection but today found no sushi no salamis no mussels no prawns or squuid on the salad bar, amount of veg options have taken all over the non veg, for me brunch means a meal between breakfast and lunch that have dishes from both breakfast and lunch but could not find any sausage or a dosa counter any wer whatever nonveg dishes available found it to be overly cooked mking the meat dry or under cooked... In either way both were like chewing a rubber refilling of dishes was slow salad did not seem to be fresh specially the lamb salad, tuna was smelling terrible in tuna salad... Asked one of the restaurant manager about unavailability of sushi sashimi or mussels so the answr was vietnamese food festival is on so who says vietnamese people dont eat sushi or mussels you can keep mexican counter chaat and dhoklas counter where there was not even single guest but you cant keep japanese counter greaaaaaaat even after knowing very few restaurant serve japanese sushi and sashimi or mussels on thier buffet but not dis time. HIGHLY DISSAPOINTED!!! Even think about your parking space no parking or entry for 2 wheelers... Reaaaaaalllllyyyy???? Why so, only people who have cars can come to savour the buffet?
Good food and value for money
The prices for the alcohol was in the higher side and also although you have IMFL you must also have Indian brand higher end spirits because alcohol will be the only reason that will stop me from coming back.
Great food
Excellent ambience and great vibe all around, however the service staff are very dull and none of them have a smiling face. This just doesnt at all have a welcoming feeling.
Overall great experience !
Team, this is my 3rd visit this year already and i thoroughly enjoy the food and the services! Thanks for being wonderful!
Food was nt gud n staff was not at all courteous, washroom was stinking.
excellent service and an eye to impress
The spread was extensive but lack taste. Not worth the price.
great service nice food
Food was not good taste and quality wise and no proper service by waiter as they were busy with foreign guests. Also due to father day I didn’t got any discount on account of membership and was not informed of the same
I feel bad for this hotel, such a good brand good looking hotel, good looking restaurant but the food was just average! Funny thing is that the food tasted fine but in most cases the food was cold on the buffet or had dried up just lying in bowls and the service staff or the chefs not even bothering to keep stirring the food so that it looks fresh.. The FnB head of this hotel must be a really busy guy to not worry on what’s happening to his most popular restaurant. The person reading may think one bad experience but I actually visited twice and my experience has been similar. So let’s start with the dim sums good in taste but had become hard and dry in the basket, sushi was not appealing at all but then I waited to get some fresh made which turned out to be excellent. Salad and cheese counter seems good. The Chinese and Thai again same problem tastes good but the food has stayed in the service dish for so long that it looks horrible and you wouldn’t want to taste it. So if you come here and wish to enjoy a good meal as the chefs to make small portions for you then you will love it!! The surmai in hara masala again an outstanding dish but I actually hurt myself 4 times eating it coz of the bones wonder why would they serve fish with bones in it. The continental section here I’m sorry but the food didn’t even taste good, the seafood dishes or the meats nothing great to talk about. Now this is a French chain so you are hoping the desserts are going to blow your mind but even that doesn’t happen, the mithai tasted better than the other desserts, the panacotta was so bad that you wouldn’t want to take a second bite. I’m sorry for making this feedback so negative but I really would hope the fnb gets improved. I can only feel sorry for this place as it’s such a convenient location and a beautiful place but they have a fierce competition from Grand Hyatt which has been so good with its food from the day it open.
Excellent Food and service. special thanks to Mr trevor & Mr laxmikant

Hi, Firstly I had made the booking and mentioned that I need a table with flowers and candle since I was coming there to celebrate my Wedding anniversary. I got the booking reply saying noted. When I got there, there was no arrangements done. And I requested the Lady at the desk to try and arrange something. After about 10 mins I got a table with some flower petals strewn across. Next the service was very poor. No drinking water provided and the Live counter Pasta ordered was obtained while I was going for some desserts. Most of the Food items were good in taste and the selection was fare. Thanks, PC.
This has been our fav place from the word go.We hv been patronizing sofitel since the 1st brunch tht we enjoyed here.The food is par-extraordinare.This is one place in mumbai which very tediously gives u every section frm chaat to asian to japanese to indian to desserts et all in grt variety.The indian main course i can happily say is like no other star places we hv visited.They dont make run of the mill indian food at all.Its this very uniqueness which is their usp.The service team & chefs work so beautufully together like a well woven pashmina.We dont hv hard drinks & non-veg hence when with slot selection this restaurant came on eatigo our joy had no bounds.Thanks Eatigo.Thanks for giving us our fav restaurant back.
Enjoyed our launch It was a South Indian food festival Meal quality was perfect Very good deserts
