Onam Sadhyas - a much awaited event in my life - was a complete disappointment at Kumarakaum HSR Layout.
As soon as we reached at 12.40 the Usherer informed us that there was a 20 minute wait time which was promising since I had not made a prior booking. My 75yr old mom, 5 yr old daughter and I, were extremely excited about the Sadhya. We were ... View Moreeven happy that they had a waiting room in the 4th floor. However, we soon realized that it was 1.20
( waiting time: 40 minutes ) and my daughter was famished and complaining!
While we watched bigger groups who arrived after us being sent to the 1st floor where the food was served, we were kept waiting. We were then asked to go and just wait in the 1st floor, which we did and I thought common sense would prevail and they would give preference to a group that had a small child, instead the usherer there seemed to give preference to bigger groups. In fact many people who came after us got seated.
At 1.45 we were finally allotted a table and just as were waiting to be served, we were asked if we could get up and give room to another big group. Of course, it was the last straw! I had to literally raise my voice and tell him that my 5year daughter had been waiting for 1 hour! The bad experience completely put me off and I am sorry to say that the Sadhya didn't seem to taste of any!!! What I did taste was a very bitter experience.

When 20 of us from office went for the Onam sadya, the so called unlimited meals even charged us the extra 13 papads(13*5) that we took, and the 4 bowls of curd(40*4) which they served us even without us having asked for it, where the curd is actually supposed to be a part of the Kerala sadya.
Food was fairly good, but nothing exceptional for R ... View Mores.250/head.
Service was HORRIBLE.
1. They kept plastic glasses, which flew away, whenever it became empty.
2. They never asked for second serving of any dishes.
3. They asked for second serving of rice only after we waited for long.
4. On asking for a rasam serving, they took 10 minutes.
5. Above all, even on reserving the table for 20, after reaching there, we had to wait for 1/2 an hour to get the first plate of side dishes+papad+chips served, and the last plate was served nearly 10 minutes later, only after which the rice, and dal were served.
Ambiance was good, but truly not worth so much of hassles.
I think my experience in Ente Keralam was much better, though the sadya charges there are on the higher side. View Less
