Spectra - Restaurant in Chennai - Chennai, India

If you are looking more on Non-Vegetarian, then this is not the place for you. Most of the Non-Veg starters are not good in quality and taste. Needs a lot of improvement on Non-Veg starters. Other than this, everything is highly recommended. Having lots of varieties and covering most of the cuisines. Have lots of varieties in Vegetarian. Good in taste as well. Multiple live counters for main dishes and desserts. First time seeing this much number of desserts. Ambience is perfect for any number of people. Highly Highly recommended for team gatherings.

We went for weekday lunch buffet. The spread was great with dishes from multi cuisines but the quality wasn't that great. Breads and rolls were fresh and good. Veg soup was too salty. Appetizers were warm. Salads were good. Sushi, chicken nuggets and Tenderloin Stroganoff were the best of the spread. Mutton was so tender and good. Big letdown was Chicken Biriyani, red sauce pasta and gulab jamun. Many desserts were placed but except for 2 items nothing else were impressive. Definitely not worth for the money.

Loved the lunch buffet. Huge spread, multiple cuisines. The paneer and salad section was my favourites. Exquisite flavours. The quality of food is very good as expected. The service is a tad too slow. A ladle took about 15 minutes. But otherwise all good. The view from the restaurant was beautiful and quaint.

I was Extremely disappointed with the Sunday dinner buffet at Spectra. The variety and quality is not what is expected of a Leela palace Hotel. Nothing in the buffet was impressive, food was very cold and the chicken biryani was very bad, deserts were good. We had a bad experience. Service was okay. Quality of the food is bad. They are charging around 3,000 which is a total waste of money. These people are getting worse and the quality has gone down now.

Visited for Sunday Brunch and although we had a hiccup with the seating initially, we eventually enjoyed the brunch. The place had reasonable crowd even at 12.15pm and we were given the seating either closer to the entrance or to the storeroom or kitchen or whatever that end of the floor comprised of. Totally unacceptable for a brunch which was charged at 4500 INR per head. After an argument, they arranged a proper seating for us. Definitely not an acceptable behavior in a 5-star place like Leela Palace. Coming to the brunch- 1. Lot of lamb and mutton varities were there 2. Grilled lobster and shrimp and lot of fish and seafood were served 3. Sushi - Veg and Non Veg 4. Salads and Mediterranean 5. Very good North and South Indian varieties 6. Varieties of Briyani 7. Dimsim and other items were there 8. Beef and Pork were served too 9. Chaat , live counters like appam and pizza were there 10. Good spread on cheese, salami and breads 11. Very good spread of desserts We opted for alcohol inclusive brunch and we were served, wine, cocktails and rum. Guess unlimited. We also enjoyed their cappuchino at the end of the meal. We spent almost 3.5 hours in the brunch, food was good, tasted nice, and very good service. Mr.Subin - who served us was wonderful. Loved the experience. Will definitely visit again.

It was weekend so the place was completely booked. They said we only serve buffet. Requested them that I can eat anything. I have been to multiple country and explored the local cuisine. But my daughter and wife are very picky Plus during weekend going out is for a change and chill. But for some reason I thought of looking at other places That's when Neelima called me volunteerly and asked, would you mind sitting in Spectra amd we will serve whatever you order. I was super happy that there are people like Neelima who don't want to lose a single customer. As promised, we were given a table viewing the beautiful broken bridge and beach. She is already giving me an exception and she is giving us the best seat. Food to be honest we didn't know what to order and asked them to suggest. some food was customized since there was a kid, Paneer Tikka was amazing but the Chinese starter was little sweet. Probably it was our mistake that we suggested to make a chilly garlic Chinese starter less spicy. But Neelima and others Prekshta, Painuli were very helpful to remake the dish. We had to insist so much then they did not exchange. otherwise they wanted make another starter. Who does all this now a days especially when you are just 3ppl ordering ala carte. Very impressive customer service. And the smile never disappeared once from their face. For main course ordered Kadai Paneer which comes along with roti Apart from that we ordered masala kulcha. The main course was brilliant especially seeing the sea and spending good time with family. Missed to mention another incident which was again our fault. As soon as you enter, there is a lounge area on the left and we thought Neelima said she will serve food there. The person Ajay did not know the background said we don't serve food here but we have a different menu. By the time Ajay checked and came, Neelima had already gave a table to us. Was feeling bad that I was rude with him and asked him to take back the desserts which he shared before going to speak with Neelima. I went and apologized to Ajay immediately and asked him to add the desserts in the bill. Again he didn't show any emotions but smilingly said, customer comes first for me. Super glad to hear from staff very similar response and they genuinely feel it and you can make the way they talk and serve food. By the way one of the largest buffet I have seen. Took 5,mins only to.check the buffet Food 4/5 Ambience 5/5 Staff 10/5. One of the best well mannered staff I came across Ensure Neelima Ajay and other staff recieves this feedback because they earned it

My all time favourite. Very good buffet restaurant. Good food. Brunch on Sunday have wide spread.

One of the best 5 star buffet in Chennai. Totally worth it. Cherry on the top- amazing sea and broken bridge view!!
