Aura — Restaurant in Bidhannagar

Let's dig into one of the most scrumptious buffets in town at Aura-The Sonnet !! Aura is the Multi Cuisine fine dining and a buffet restaurant located at the ground floor of The Sonnet Kolkata , which is a 4-star luxury hotel. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This place is kind of underrated and never being a talk of the town but it offers a lot in terms of food, hospitality and so on... There are few buffet options available in and around our IT Hub, Salt Lake & most of the places are like okayish and you have been tried those places so many times already... So, this place can be added to your bucket list. 📄

Now the ambience was pretty vibrant, eye soothing and most importantly very comfortable... Wooden finished with velvety sofas are really cozy and gives an absolutely fine dining feel!! ❤🤩

I've tried this place before as well but they've renovated the decor and now it's more aesthetically beautiful and yesterday I visited this place to try their newly launched buffet which has a wide range of food items including North Indian, oriental and continental!... The buffet was quite good especially their North Indian Food Items. Starters were Yum , desserts were no doubt fresh and amazing in taste and One major good thing over here is their main course was really nice.. So, overall they maintained the food quality... They have separate live pasta and pizza sections where you can customize your food according to your taste buds and needs.

👉One can avail the buffet in both lunch (12.30hrs-15.30hrs) and dinner time (19.00 hrs - 23.30hrs). ☑️

I can give this place a big thumbs up as the food was nice, the ambience was pretty royal & lastly the staffs were very courteous and...

I went to Aura located in The Sonnet Hotel on the day of Panchami, 2023. They were serving pujo special buffet. The ambiance was nice and all the staff were very well behaved and polite. Their service was good, but only initially. Once the restaurant was full, they were struggling to attend each table. But I understand rush hours and didn't mind the service.

Now, coming to the main part of the buffet, the food. When they started serving the starters on the table, I was very impressed with the taste of each starter. All the starters were fresh, hot, and tasty. They served kurkure chicken, prawn popcorn, chicken kebeb, fish chop, garlic fish, mocha chop, paneer kebab, paneer stick, crispy chili babycorn etc.

Then we moved to the main course and started getting disappointed as many of the items were not good. The mutton biriyani was not good, padba fishes were tasteless and felt not fresh, prawn malai curry was average, fish paturi was made of basa fish and didn't taste good. Basically, all the main attractions were disappointing. Fulkopi curry was tasty, chili chicken was decent, and chicken curry was decent. Overall, the main course section was not good enough.

The beverages like aam pudina kacha lonka sorbot, Lassi, Virgin mojito were good. Most of the dessert items were good, too. The baked rasgulla was not up to the mark. Rest all like gulab jamun, chanar jilipi, pastry, Sandesh, mousse, etc. all were very good.

Buffet cost was Rs. 1070, which didn't justify the quality of the main course items. One more thing was they didn't have regular water to serve and only bottled water that costs Rs. 131 per 1 ltr bottle.

Overall, it was an okay...

I visited the buffet on this Sunday. It is not even a experience worthy of writing a review. I booked voucher from nearbuy and in the menu it was mentioned there that there 3 non veg starter and 3 veg starter. Where as it was 2 non veg starter and even among those only one is worthy of being called a non veg starter. The chicken Chapli in is not pure non veg as it is mixed with some batter and onion. Paying 796 rupees and not having a solid chicken starter is awful. Even in veg starter no good ingredients are used it didn't have paneer, baby corn or mushrooms. Only potato, cheese and a cabage stuffed spring roll. After this awful experience the worst live counters comes in to picture. As per near buy there will barbeque grill counters having chicken and fish items. In reality it was dhosa and pasta. On top of that no option for non veg pasta. Then in the main course salad counter was good. The veg items are also good. Coming to main attraction mutton biriyani, the mutton was stiff, not well marinated and awfully chewy taste. Chicken and fish was good in main course. Coming to desert the baked rosogollas are having so much fluid not sure why they are calling it baked. Baked rosogollas from reputes sweet shops are baked properly and fluid content is very less and much more thick. Very less option is dessert section. Coming to ice cream only one flavour basic ice cream with lots of toppings was not at all a worthy option is this quality of a resturant. This will be a advice from my side before visiting this place please ask them the menu. Do not rely on what...
