Gandharaj restaurant - Restaurant in Puri - Puri, India

Very Pleasent Stay at Hotel Sonar Tori, Puri near Swargadwar Sea Beach. Its just behind the Puri Hotel at Gopal-Ballav Road, 2min walking distance from the sea beach. The service staffs and the cleaning staffs are also polite and active. They always respond to the call though it's 6am or 9pm for cleaning room or to solve any issue. They also change bedsheet, pillow covers every day. Also its to be mentioned that the Restaurant namely "Gondhoraj", situated in the basement of the Hotel is excellent and reasonable. The price has been hiked in between our stay for puja vacation, but their foods are awesome. We ordered the tea also in morning and evening everyday for its quality.

The restaurant is managed by people having absolutely zero sense of hospitality. They do not know how to treat their customers well. Most of the dishes written in the menu are not available or would just be available if you order 3 plates of the same item. Most importantly the most negative thing about the manager of this restaurant was to give RUDE IMPOLITE opinion to us in between our own family discussion. The people coming to the table and taking orders are impolite, rude and move with an air of extra attitude around them. Really do not know for what. Now coming to the food. Food is average. We had ordered Fried Rice (which was okay however no cutlery provided to eat the same), Bengali Thali(ok, basic) and Egg Curry (horrible-felt like having some extra sweet curry). A small note to the restaurant manager: Among all the restaurants in the same lane you have your restaurant located in, please keep staffs who can atleast behave properly with your customers because your food is not that great for which you should take so much pride.

Nice rooms with a balcony as well. We got a good deal during our stay, obviously not during the peak season. The food was good also, and the sea shore was 5 minutes stroll from the hotel. I felt an air-conditioned room lesser than 5 minutes of walk from sea shore was a good bargain from having it on the marine drive. The staff were very courteous and they do help to keep the rooms clean throughout the day, I really appreciate the way they were approachable.

Hotel is nice, , has a parking space too Food is lovely, reasonable price, hygienic But the building need bit maintenance as there r many cracks and damps in the wall Location is also nice Reception was nice but they lack staff , like there were no person to take the luggage to room at check in I booked a 4 bedder room. Room was large enough but bathroom was very small rest everything was fine, I had a good time there

Though the place is not anywhere close to its glory days of 2009, I happened to visit the place in 2022 again with my family and it seemed to be working overall fine. The staff are well behaved , service is surely fast and the menu options are plenty. Bengali cuisines are still their specialisation and the price is reasonable. Lunches, dinners and breakfasts are available thought the lunch menus are the strengths.

Had a pleasant stay at this hotel, double bed room was spacious and bed was large enough to accommodate 3 adults. Hotel staff was courteous and polite and food was good with reasonable price. Overall good experience.location good just 2 mins walking from beach behind puri hotel but no rooms have sea view.stayed for 3 nights during christmas 2018

We had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Sonar Tori during 22 nd - 25 th February 2020. The hotel staffs were very polite and friendly. The hotel is approx 150 Mts away from the Golden beach. The restaurant is also very good. We were amazed by the food quality and quantity. It was very tasty. The cleanliness of the room was okay. Everything was okay. Only 1 negetive point. We couldn't find any working channel on the TV. Overall we were very pleased with hotel Sonar Tori. Will definitely book this hotel for our future stays.

The property is costlier than it should be. Although nearer to the beach, it's difficult to adjust with the food quality and services. If you're planning for an outside trip, never ask anyone to help you in arranging a cab for you. You'll find much lower prices if you walk few meters away from the hotel. It's good to take your food outside.
