Went to Machaan yesterday for lunch. They've taken up an entire floor of a building and converted it into a restaurant. The restaurant has a jungle theme. My kid had a great time spotting all the almost life-sized stuffed animals they had planted all over the place. They even have a few faux banyan trees to go with the theme.
Going with the recommendations of fellow burrpers, we went in for the Aam Panna Jaljeera. Boy, what a treat it was. It was a bit spiced up, but very flavourful.
We went for the the lunch buffet. The appetizers were served to us on the table itself. The pani puri had turned soggy and was mediocre, but the samosa chaat was excellent.
While the buffet didn't have an lavish variety of items, it was good enough for lunch. The dessert variety was good - ice-cream, mal-pooda, kheer, brownie cake, chocolate mousse and fresh fruit.
I was impressed by the waiter (can't recall the name, but the lastname was Ganguly).
Overall a very positive experience. Highly recommended. Safe to go there with friends and family.
