Pure Gold
Just as I am back for my vacation, I visited Golden Star. This time I went on a Sunday to savour their Unlimited Aamras. My my was I in for a surprise. The aamras is to die for. I do not think or know of any Gujju thali restaurant which serves purest of Alphonso aamras then Golden Star. This is the only restaurant who stand for what they advertise and deliver exactly what they say. Hats off I am a die hard fan of this place now and forever.

Hey! Lords
This place needs no introduction. And the owner knows it very well and so do the waiters.
The place reeks of the owners arrogance which is reflected in the waiters attitude. (I haven't met or even seen the owner).
When a restaurant has waiters as old as the place then the arrogance shows. No doubt they are so well experienced that they may be able to make out how much a tables bill will be and how much they will tip. But that does not give them the freedom to behave in a way that they make the customers feel uncomfortable.
I think if they read this, they will understand and change their attitude.
The food is not so great either. The continental food is absolutely bland and their white sauce needs drastic change. My Marwari cook at home prepares it 10 times better than at Gaylords.
A restaurant like gaylords which is a landmark in itself and will keep on doing well because of their location, should not take things for granted as the mightiest also fall with time, if things and attitude remain the same.
I used to frequent Gaylords once if not twice a month at least and bring all my outstation guests here. but no more since the last 2 years it has been diminishing from my FAV list. I hope the standard is brought back to the older times.
And oh! i forgot to mention the guy in the Bakery counter really behaves like a LORD HEY! LORD!

Nothing Compare!
I just love it. Everytime I am in India I make it a point to visit this place near Charni Road stn. And this time of the year when I go to Golden Star Thali I freak out on their Undhyo. I do not know of a place that serves a better Undhio then at Golden Star. Our family, being from the USA do visit as many restaurants as possible even the places serving Gujju and Marwari thalis but Golden Star thali takes the top notch place in serving thalis. Even their dal bati is to die for, their service staff dressed in typical Rajasthani attire Pagdi et al are the best and courteous too, they just keep coming till you drop eating. Even their catch line is. WE SERVE AS LONG AS YOU CAN EAT.
