Kandeel - Fine dining restaurant in Surat - Surat, India

Food has a decent taste. You will not like everything you order but quality is nice. The view is unparalleled because it's a must have experience as you don't visit India's first revolving restaurant daily and they too on the 16th floor at ring road, Surat. When we had visited, continental items in the menu were not available. That is something which they should improve upon. No sizzlers is also a big drawback.

It's was a good experience at a restaurant as it's located on the 16th floor and while eating you had a 360dg view of the surat market area. Now coming to food it was not so good as expected and furniture and lift needs to be upgraded. Service was good.

The revolving restaurant is one of the oldest restaurant of surat , located on the top floor of hotel Tex plaza in the textile market. It is Asia 's first revolving restaurant, it compete one revolution in about 90 minutes . The restaurant serve buffet only on weekdays and normal A la carte dishes are served throughout the week. The buffet offers 20 -25 dishes, veg as well as non veg . We started our dinner with mock tails and starters. The mock trials were served at room temperature and were not at all chilled. There was not much variety of starters, there were only 4 to choose from. Veg corn cake is good in taste the rest are average. For main course there were 3 veg curries. Paneer tikka masala was very spicy, veg bagwan was good. The accompanying masala rice was not cooked properly and the roti were under cooked and stretchy . The desserts were a complete disappointment, there were just 3 to choose from , gulab jamun , cake and ice cream. Not at all worth spending rupees 600 ( per person ) Although ambiance and services are good , but overall the buffet was a total waste of money.

Visited this place on my last visit to Surat, It was supposed to be a revolving experience. But it stopped revolving for about an hour while we were there. Started revolving when we were about to leave :(. But it was a second visit to this place, Previously it was working fine. So probably this was a one off day to visit :). Ambiance is nice. On this visit i noticed they have also started buffet which was not there about 3-4 years ago. We decided to not go for buffet and have a dining experience. Started with Cream Onion Soup, Tried this first time and loved the taste of it. Toast Cheese Garlic Bread were given as complimentary with it. Which were super crunchy and cheese. In starters we had Masala Papad, Veg Crispy and some Paneer starter. Veg Crispy was the highlight of the day. One of the best i had. We ordered only one dish of it, So per head quantity(For 6) was less :(. Paneer one kind of common and had ok taste. Another one was Hydrabadi Tikki, which was my choice. And it was good until the time i had coconut taste from it.(Don't like coconut in my food). But if it wasn't there it was perfect to have. Coming to Main course we ordered Paneer Bhuna (Again Paneer :(, Because of majority votes - sadly). But it tasted well. Little bit on spicier side. I ordered Masala Chaas with it which was very well made. Probably would have liked main course more if it was not Paneer again. Overall it's kind of Good visit. Not a wow kind of food but decent enough to like. Will try and visit again for Buffet sometime in future. My recommendations :- Cream Onion Soup, Veg Crispy, Masala Chaas

Great restaurants, they serve great , foods taste so good ... Quality and quantity is great .. price is moderate ...but really worth for the atmosphere and the upper view of surat.. you must visit in the evening to the lighting effect of surat revolving around you ..

All over good experience But order taker person was to much create confusions kindly please educate him about food Service was very nice Keep it up

Food quality is good ..Only for experience revolving while eating...

Good food with great atmosphere. Price is bit high. Main attraction is "Revolving System" on 16th floor. If you seat in one table and have your food for atleast 1 hour, then you can see the whole Surat form your seat .
