Seasonal Tastes — Restaurant in Zone 13 Adyar

I was here for my son's birthday and we enjoyed to the most.

We entered the place around 8 pm and the Hostess Anisha was very good to give us a table quickly, even though we didn't book the table.

Ambiance was nice and huge roofing the place looks big and roomy. I just loved it.

We got to choose our own table we took it by glass facing the front of the hotel. Once we settled in our table they offered us water asking if we need regular or bottled. We settled for the regular water.

Now the Staff named Ravi came to us and asked us if we would like to go for buffet or Al carte. We went for the buffet.

Coming to the food they had huge spread.

we had the Garlic herb chicken Soup, Which was pipping hot and tasty my wife just loved it.

Starters we had Fish nuggets and Lasuni Murgh.

Fish Nuggets was tasty and the fish used was fresh and tasty my daughter loved it.

Lasuni Murgh was spicy and tasting good aswell.

They had huge varieties of salad and non veg salad aswell. Loved them all,

The mezze counter was good at visuals, but i should say the hummus which was thick without the olive oil and labneh tasted sour and water, which was a little disappointment as daughter loves pita bread and labneh, but was not great today.

Coming to veg starters they had paneer and veggies, my wife loved the paneer.

Main course was huge i settled for the international Grill fish and grill chicken . Fish was fresh and tasty

My wife chicken biriyani, Mutton Rara, Fish Malabar Curry and white rice, my wife loved the Mutton and was relishing it when she was eating the same.

In live counter we had Pizza and pasta. We ordered the chicken Pizza, Which my son enjoyed and loved it. It was awesome.

All this while the service was good and the Ravi ensured that plates were cleared from our table and refilled our glass with Water.

One Mr. Abishek came to our table, asked if food was good and needed anything else. He took our feedback about labneh and ensured that will pass the information to the chef.

After sometime the restaurant manager Amresh came to us inquiring how was our food and if we needed something. I informed we are enjoying and have come for our sons birthday. he wished my son and asked if we would like any dish to be made on order. we said its fine and we are enjoying.

We then went to the deserts section,

I had the Fresh Cut fruits, Water Melon and pineapple.

My wife had the coconut barfi, Kaju Katli , My daughter loved the Kaju Katli.

My son had ice-cream with choco chips and chocolate sauce. My son felt the it melted too fast.

He then went for the deserts, chocolate pudding, black forest pastry, Raspberry mouse , he loved the Chocolate pudding and enjoyed it. Even my wife and i loved the chocolate pudding and it was really tasty and nice.

I loved the Custard with Fruits and the Blueberry Cheese cake

My wife had some moong Dal HAlwa which she said was tasty and loved it aswell.

We were all full eating the deserts, and that's when Abhishek, Amresh, Ravi and Anisha came with a small cake written Happy birthday , with a Sparkling Candle.

They sang Happy birthday and my son cut the cake, we were really overwhelmed and really loved the hospitality the staffs showed us.

I would say this was one of the best meal we had.

One the way back in car my son was really happy and told me that he will never forget this birthday.

I should say the Hospitality and service was really great from the beginning to the end time in the hotel,

Staff's Abhishek was even courteous to take our photos and food photos aswell.

As the Westin brand say's Eat Well , I should say i 'Ate well' and had an amazing meal which i will not be forgetting...

We had gone for a Sunday brunch, which was a buffet—and the varieties were my oh! my oh! my! From the moment we entered, the ambience, seating, decor, and the sheer spread of food were impeccable.

I love continental food and bang on—I had it. Indian, Italian, Chinese, Continental… name it, and they had it all. Sadly, I couldn’t savor every bit of it. I couldn’t even taste each dish, even if it were just a pinch—that’s how massive the spread was. And maybe that’s exactly why it’s priced at ₹3000 per person. You’re paying for both the quality and the experience.

Moving on to the favorites – I’m usually allergic to prawns sometimes, so I’m always cautious. But they had a prawn roulade with green sauce that tasted really good—and the allergy didn’t kick in this time, so that’s a win! They also had an antipasti bar, pastas, and pizzas. I tried a bit of pizza and totally liked it. Simple, fresh, and done right.

They had an equal number of veg dishes too—but I didn’t really pry into those. I tried fish tikka, lamb, and there was a continental tenderloin lamb counter, which was okish. Right beside that was a Chinese counter where I tried some dumplings.

And then… the sinful dessert counter! It had gorgeous pastries and an equally elaborate spread of Indian sweets (which I skipped) but picked up for my son. The continental pastries were yummy, but my tummy just couldn’t take in any more. Wish I had more space to taste more!

We had some mocktails too—one with orange and something else I can’t quite remember. Later, I requested another one and got a mango-based drink instead. Refreshing overall, though I did wish they’d served the same one again.

There was also live music—a female singer performing. A few of her songs were lovely and added to the vibe, but a couple did throw off the mood while we were enjoying the food.

A nice surprise was the art counter—a friendly guy drew a cute little tortoise for my son, and that small gesture honestly made me quietly happy.

I’d really love to visit again, but maybe for a more meaningful lunch or dinner—with fewer dishes, a slightly trimmed-down price, and less guilt about not being able to taste all...
