The Melting Pot: Market Cafe - Buffet restaurant in Chennai, Nemmeli - Chengalpattu, India

Overall the food quality was good and the ambience was nice. I would recommend for a family or even couples as well. Food : To start with food and dishes available, it is buffet that we went and they had good variety in starters, main course and dessert. I liked their mutton curry and chicken starter. While there may not be many options but the taste of both veg and non veg starters were good. Ambience: while the restaurant might be compact with limited space but their outdoor view and the resort is good and you have access to their lawn and beach as well which is worth visiting. I really liked it. Cost: It is around 2k per person for a dinner buffet and I would say it is bit expensive but given the ambience and the food quality I would say worth the spent. Overall if you are looking to spend some good quality time along with good food with your loved ones I would recommend this place for sure.

Beautiful place for a dinner date. Loved the A la carte menu, decent mix of Indian, continental and Oriental. But the oriental food would take more time to prepare since they come from another part of the resort. Service is Excellent, catering to every need.

South Indian foods were more delicious than others. We stayed and had a wonderful breakfast in this restaurant.

Even though we weren't staying at the hotel and visited only the restaurant, found the ambience absolutely beautiful. Restaurant was packed to full capacity on the weekend so reservation is recommended. Staff is very polite and helpful. We opted for buffet but the spread was comparatively less and also predictable for the price we pay. Paneer in starters and main course was amazing and literally melting in the mouth, it was that soft. Starters and Main course were all good. Heard a lot about the desserts at this place, so the expectations were high but I didn't find it mind blowing. Can opt for this place for special occasions. Had recently gone here for our wedding anniversary celebration and the staff prepared a cake for us at such short notice. Very friendly and helpful staff who made our celebration even more special

I had gone to the KokoMmo restaurant, since it was full and waiting time was 2 hours decided to try this restaurant. The buffet here was extensive and tasteful. The menu was really good. I had a little of everything from salads to main course to desserts and some tacos as well. All the dishes were tasteful and the people were helpful. My best liked item was the prawn chettinadu gravy . It had a unique flavour of its own. Edit 13th Aug 2023 Too damm expensive they have jacked up the prices and it's totally not worth it . I have paid 4500rs for two persons .. they also charge a service charge of 5% which I don't think is acceptable

Easter Brunch was very well planned and orchestrated with a fairly large spread .Sushi ,continental food and the live counter was good. Desserts were themed with an easter twist ,this was beautifully done .We were served ice cream that was made in house .It was very good. It would have been better if pizzas were on the menu

Perfect ambiance with excellent food - Thanks to the chef's. We loved all the dishes out there, the below are My favourites * All desserts items - am not a great lover of desserts but they impressed me with there taste !!! Love at first bite * Briyani - Well cooked mutton briyani with perfect taste * Grill - All the grill items are too good, Chicken & Fish must try * Cold cofee - it would chill your soul * Chicken sorted - Enchanter of your tast buds Trust me !!! It's worth visiting

Mouth watering buffet with huge list of menu options. Loved all bites of food. Staff is friendly but some on service are only after top ratings on trip adviser so beware of their happy faces. Starters, salads, chats, main courses and desserts, everything was just amazing. Would go again while visiting Mahabalipuram.
