Masala Restaurant - Buffet restaurant in Ernakulam - Ernakulam, India

It's not just the food that is great, the ambience, service, kids play zone, and overall experience which also include magic for kids, live music and caricatures adds up. It's been an year or two, but recently their spread and quality of food improved a lot. It was the spread for another 5 star restaurant which was highly rated by me in Kochi, but I would change the rating to Masala's spread. One thing I have noticed is not many (I guess only Hyatt) restaurants have Mutton items included in their spread, but Masala always have Mutton Biriyani for the brunch.

It's our third day here and we absolutely love the buffet all three times a day, especially the desserts. The staff personnel were also very friendly and always attending to your needs. Would definitely come back.

I would Like to first of all thank The Holiday Inn Hotel for the Great stay experience of 5 days and most importantly the great and excellent services from their in house restaurant - The Masala Restaurant. Our Team- Ms.Nisha Mary and Ms.Jenny were their on their business trip during the period of 18 Aug- to- 23 Aug (checkout) at the Holiday inn and had a personal on hand experience of the Great service and Cuisine at the Masala restaurant. We were assisted by the Restaurant team and I have to specially mention the names- Mr.Shyam, Restaurant manager , The Chef- Mr.Anaswer, Hostess- Ms.Sneha and one more lady whose name we forgot. The Chef very keenly took out time to explain on the various dishes that him and his team prepared, ably assisted by the Manager, Mr.Shyam and Ms.Sneha. Such exemplary service and assistance added flavor to the wonderful and delicious food on the platter. Special kudos to the entire team and a must try place when you drop by Holiday Inn, Cochin for Stay or Visit.

First dinner after enrolling in the Dining Privilege program. Was offered complimentary 50% off for the buffet dinner. The buffet spread was good with quite a good options. Wasn't quite impressed with the Mongolian stall offering grilled Mongolian recipes though, but rest was good. Highlight would definitely be the hospitality. The staff kept checking on us if everything was ok and whether we needed anything special. Having been member of Hyatt Dining club and Marriott I was blown away by the hospitality. Kudos to the team especially the restaurant manager. First impression has definitely been very impressive.

Situated inside holiday inn, vennala. This restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet. Went for lunch buffet and was a bit disappointed to be honest. Ambience was good and the staff was helpful. The spread however was a bit less to my liking, varieties wise. Quality also was a mixed bag, with some dishes being good and others average. Main courses were average, but the salads and desserts were very good. Overall, for the price (999 rupees + tax), it was only OK, not great.

We have been here for Christmas brunch.. Ambience and vibe of the restaurant was good.. Decoration was good. Some Lavishness was missing. Taste of was the food was very average.. Just for couple lunch/dinner you can go..

We had the Sunday Brunch. The food was very good with great variety. The meats were very well cooked with the perfect doneness. Great dessert selection too. The chaat section could use some improvement though. Waiting staff Narmada was very attentive to our needs. The live music gave a lovely feel to the atmosphere too.

We went there for a reunion of friends. First thought of going for a la carte but found the buffet menu very tempting. Some of us had a couple of drinks and then had this buffet. The buffet spread was very good. Couple of starters, soup etc. Then plenty of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Everything was great and had a good time. Narmada was great and the service is A++.
