Visited this restaurant on a sat night located in ITC at grand central. Firstly, the ambiance and the decor of the hotel is not even a close bit of the one at Andheri east. The Hornby's Pavillion is the equivalent of the Peshwa Pavillion at the Andheri one. Much like the latter, we went to try out the dinner buffet at Hornby's.
The range and variety was ok. What didnt impress me was the taste and the conveinence of dish placements. The Indian veggies like Paneer Korma, Mutter Veg was below par. The appetizer of corn patis was the worst i have ever had, was cold and tasted stale. The biryani was awful and I found the yogurt in the dahi wada a little sour. The saving grace was yet again the benchmark dal bhukara. Along with that, i did enjoy the tomato noodles. The deserts were very basic and nothing to take the word on it.
All in all, the food, ambiance, taste was quite mediocore. I would have happily accepted this at a 2 -3 star hotel or at a mom & pop indian joint, but def not at ITC nad def def not when you are paying 1150/- pp for a buffet.
