Nook - Restaurant in Bengaluru - Bengaluru Urban, India

Over price and less variety in buffet. Food: We went as part of official dinner and this place have very less variety of food, for veg please don't go. Hardly 2 starter. And taste wise fine. But not that great as masala I felt more. Service: good. Polite and serve to table whenever we ordered from live counter. Atmosphere: good, but could be more spacious. Price: over priced for the variety in buffet. Only if you are I'm Cessna and don't want to travel and go for this if you have budget.

It's been 5 years since I have been frequently visiting Nook at Aloft. But never ever has the experience been so disappointing. Two of us visited for lunch buffet today, the quality of the items, like Paneer, has gone down drastically. On selection bit, for soups, there was just one, as a standard, there are always two soups, one veg and one non-veg. For breads too, there was just one type, soft buns. But most surprising was the desserts counter, seemed like they had kept all the leftover cakes in a tray, and named them as 'Assorted Cakes', most of them not even fresh. Pls see the attached image and you will know what I mean. You cannot treat your customers like this, your dessert counter was simply offending! Even service was quite disappointing today. Indian breads were pretty good though, full marks for that! Called the Asst. Manager to give the feedback. Post which the main Manager In-charge came, along with the Executive Chef Gulzar, heard our concerns, apologized and promised to take care of these going ahead. Felt very pleasant talking with the manager, kudos to him, he took my number too to inform me once they have full menu on the buffet, pls pass-on my appreciation to him. As a customer, I felt fully contended and happy, and thought will go back, rate the experience as 5 star! Then we asked for the bill. One of the service staff said that the buffet charges for both of us have been waived off by the main manager. We dint expect that as we were already quite happy after speaking with the main manager, but it was a delight no doubt, so we asked him to call the manager to thank him. Instead, the Asst. Manager showed up, and he brought a bill, waiving off charges for one of us only, which felt awkward & embarrassing. Now here is the point - Even if you had charged for full, that would have bee perfectly fine, as we din't expect any waiver at all. But if you were making a special gesture, but waiving off charges for one person, and charging for the other, I wonder doesn't Aloft has a heart and budget to afford the waiver for both? And that too backtracking after communicating to the customer that charges have been waved off completely? That was petty on your part, left a really bad taste in our mouth, seriously, we were pretty happy after speaking the with your main manager, this partial waiver did more damage than good!

A chique ambience for a Sunday brunch. There was a huge spread of buffet, which included chats, salads, indian, Italian and choices of desserts. The vegetarian options could have been more though. We enjoyed a pleasant brunch with some good live music. The staff and chef were really courteous.

I went there for lunch on Thursday. Since place is located inside a business park, a lot of corporate teams occupied the place. Place is quite big, and entrance of the Aloft is really grand. Seating capacity is good, and ambience is quite colorful, complimented by colored dishes and cutlery. Spread is good, but there are buffet with larger spread. Food quality is really good. Though it's a buffet, but food quality is compared to al-e-carte. Desert spread is really limited for vegetarians.

It's not worth for the price they r charging . It's 1800+GST for weekday Thursday lunch. But you won't find it worth spending. They r using all frozen non veg items. Varieties r less and charges r more. Atmosphere is good. Service is good.

Was there for team lunch with around 35-40 members. Food was not great and service was not great either. Other colleagues also had the same opinion. Option was minimal and they took much time to serve food. Not much recommended. Live music was good with suggestion to play famous song to connect group.

This place rocks!!! That's how I would like to start my review. I have tried their breakfast buffet and also the Chettinad Samayal during a festival. You can never go wrong with this place. Their breakfast spread is humongous and you are spoilt for choice. They have a varitey of Indian (North and South), Continental, Pan Asian delicacies for breakfast not to forget the healthy options that are served in a separate counter. They even offer soy milk, almond milk other than your regular juices, shakes, smoothies etc. They offer a lot of fresh and seasonal fruits. I haven't seen a better range of cheese being offered anywhere. The service is top-notch and they are willing to customize items to suit your palate. I am a vegetarian and went there during the Chettinad festival as well. The chef and his team ensured that I got to taste the true Chettinad delicacies like Raw Banana, vada , Curries made of okra, conconut rice etc. Truly impressed. They would get a perfect 5 on all counts. Must visit !!!

I have earlier tried very few typically Bengali dishes like chicken mughlai and fish cutlet so when i got to know that aloft Cessna business park was conducting a Bengali food festival, i was absolutely ecstatic to visit. The cherry on top was the fact that their massive Bengali food festival buffet for lunch that would be available on 18th, 24th and 25th of March was priced very nominally at just Rs 999/- . To begin with i had a welcome drink with notes of gondhoraj lime. Next moved on to some fish kalia which was one of my most favorites in the main. There were also prawns that were cooked to perfection and served on skewers. You can also get beetroot cutlets and bhapa paneer that is a steamed preparation of paneer wrapped in a banana leaf and steamed to perfection. For the main course, you can choose to pick what's on the buffet or even request for a thali style service that is equally delightful and contains everything from begunn bhaja, aloo jhuri bhaja, papads, chutneys, beguni, luchi, mutton kosha, shukto, aloo posto and my favorite of all was the Kolkata style chicken biryani cooked in dum style with the traditional addition of the customary potato in it. I ended my meal with mishti doi that was served in earthen cups that was the perfect end to the lavish feast "amar bangla" (my Bengal).
