Encounters - Buffet restaurant in Hyderabad - Hyderabad, India

You certainly can't say it isn't a nice setting for an evening meal, with great tables inside and a truly relaxing environment outside with the water features and pleasant canopies. The staff are all super friendly while remaining professional and proactive with the service. Space at the tables was great with them being large and spacious plus everything was spotlessly clean throughout. The choice at the buffet inside was really good with all the dishes kept topped up and fresh and great flavours across the board. From side dishes, main items and deserts there was a full range which should satisfy most people and gave plenty of reasons to return for additional courses. While a buffet dinner might not always strike as a high end affair, this is certainly different and one which was truly enjoyable and I'd recommend even for a special occasion.

The in-house restaurant Encounter offers sumptuous breakfast treats. Even though the items in the menu are limited, if you are loquacious enough you can chat up with staff, who is always ready to offer items unmentioned in the menu. For instance, a pizza, a pasta, fresh juices and shakes . So you can chart your very own gastronomical romance if you are a little venturesome. They have both indoor as well outdoor seating. Place is tastefully designed and comfortable. The staff is confident and very interactive and displays good hospitality skills. I enjoyed the buffet with beautiful antiqueish interior artefacts and nice outside pool view.

Visited this place for lunch on my birthday. The place was super packed while we reached there. Soup was mediocre. Coming to starters, chicken was not great, although fish was good and loved the papad panner which was crispy and super tasty and followed by some Chinese which were decent too. Main course was also fine with the breads served on table followed by some biryani which went well too. Loved their desserts as it had my favorite double ka meetha follower my many varieties which had chocolate mousse, Rasmalai and few more.

Taj Krishna is definitely at the top in the list of restaurants that I would prefer any time. I visited the Encounters Restaurant in Taj Krishna a couple of days ago, with my family. We went there for a Sunday brunch and they satisfied us just as usual. They had ample of options to choose from in their buffet spread. We went there, thinking that we would come back home in an hour or so, but we just couln't hold our horses after seeing the variety. The supervisior of the restaurant during our visit, was a really good host. He made sure that the dining experience was as smooth as it could be. We were looking for a dish like butter garlic prawns but it wasn't there in their buffet. Just so that we could have what we wanted to eat, the chef there made the arrangements to make this dish and then served it to us, going out of their way. Moreover, they had an exhaustive range of desserts during our recent visit. They had ice creams, mouth-watering halwa and many pastries. To talk about their staff, they were quite friendly and efficient. Overall, I would definitely recommend trying out this place as Taj will never let you down, and will always use your feedback to improve themselves. Hope you find this review helpful.

Excellent spread for a breakfast buffet. If the weather isn't too warm, the outside seating is a great choice. The pool and fountains add to the comforting ambience with a soft sound of trickling water. If the weather is warm, stay indoors and enjoy the air conditioning. :) There are live counters for omelettes, dosas, puri, waffles, pancakes, etc. Seating is comfortable with the cane chairs having tall armrests. On the whole, would recommend 10/10.

BEAutiful experience! Celebrated our anniversary in this amazing ambience, the interiors are gorgeous, the outside lawns are simply overwhelming, standout restaurant with global cuisines. And the staff is really hospitable at heart, always smiling and helping making it all a memorable moment

A very classy nice restaurant. Warm welcoming staff. Food was okay. We expected dishes to be little different but, It tasted quite oily and doesn't seem to be fresh. Chicken was quite hard. Also, less options in vegetarian corner . Frankly speaking, it was equal to any ordinary restaurant buffet experience but acc to price it was not up to the mark. There is a day and night difference in what food we eat in Vizag , Mumbai, Delhi Taj and this experience in Hyderabad Taj.

Was there for coffee over the weekend. While the ambience and food was great, the servers seemed grumpy and moody with no smile on their face or a welcoming personality which was not a good experience. They need to have better and pleasant customer service and attitude
