SAMPOORNA RESTAURANT IN JP NAGAR- A REVIEW

BY PRIYA JAIN

I won’t waste time- mine or yours trying to describe the AWFUL experience. Brother’s birthday. Family dinner outing. We opted for a buffet. 275+ taxes per head.

BAD BAD IDEA

Starters: Gobi Manchurian and mushroom something. Served at the table. Cold. When we asked them to reheat, they replaced the gobi. When mushrooms were served cold and we objected, we were told ‘fresh ide madam!’ and it was not heated. Result: A platter of mushrooms wasted.

Minestrone and noodle Soup- Average

THE INSIDE VIEW. LOOKS GOOD, TASTES AWFUL

Main course- Paneer butter masala, some mix vegetable curry- all cold and almost over. Luckily some remnant taste, so was eaten.

Rotis and butter kulchas Served hot. THANK GOD

Rice- 5 varieties- Mostly cold and almost over.

Rasam Was decent

Gulab Jamun Was nice, Rasmalai- So so

HUGE BUILDING. HUGELY BAD FOOD

Vanilla icecream Served at the end was the best thing on the buffet. I am willing to place my bet on the fact that it came out of a box. That was characteristically cold. Thank God for that!

Bottomline: Never go to a place based on the size of the building. And never opt for a buffet post 9 pm, everything you find will probably be leftovers. This is officially one of my top ten worst dining experiences ever, the saltiest soup I ever had notwithstanding. NEVER GOING THERE
AGAIN.  


My brother could have bought a new shirt or shoes or both. We could have had four McDonalds Happy meals and he would have been happy with just the toys. And no, he is not a kid. He just turned 30.
