Lovely to interact withFood spread: They change their menu for specials and themes which is awesome. We were amused with 5 continent themesDesserts are finger-licking deliciousHighly recommendedKudos to entire management

Not so very tasty food. Spread was also limited for the prices they charge. Only deserts were good. Nothing much to boast about in terms of food. This place draws in people purely for the sea side location. Beauty of the Chennai Seas and Adyar creek. Nothing much otherwise.

Yesterday I went for dinner buffet at Spectra. It is not up to the 5 star standards I would say. They are serving only 2 starters in both veg and non veg. Also they do not have any dishes with mutton and prawns. They only have chicken and fish. Even the biriyani is chicken. That is quite disappointing.. Taste was also not so good. Like out of 20 dishes I would say only 3 to 5 dishes tastes good.. Pizza was very worst. Bottom was fully burned and top layer was also not that tasty. The soups was also not good. One main thing was that none of the main course dishes are hot. Everything is chill. Cost is bit high for the quality and quantity of the dishes they serve. Only good thing is the service.

The best place in chennai if you are looking for some great food and experience. If at all you guys are planning to go there...... Sunday buffet brunch is the best, with a huge variety of food to choose from. And with the best view of Bay of Bengal..... One can really enjoy thier time.

Me and my friend had a huge expectation before going here. We were so excited. But to our disappointment it was just average. Did not expect this from leela palace. Their dumplings were amazing. Other dishes were ok. Dessert was also very good. The one thing which irked us was poor service. Also they served tropicana in place of orange juice! We were expecting freshly squeezed 😕. Not worth the price. The review is for sunday brunch. May be it was a bad day for us!

Good Experience in the Halloween Buffet. The variety was good.

Great buffet dinner twice a week and amazing buffet breakfast. Staff is super nice and courteous. Very spacious seating with beautiful sea views. À la carte menu is vibrant with many variations.

Spectra is among Chennais finest fine-dining restaurants. Located at the expansive Leela Palace Hotel in MRC Nagar, this restaurant offers unobstructed views of the Bay of Bengal and also the famous Broken Bridge! At night time the lights are amazing and its worth a visit at both day and night times.The food is delightful and offers excellent options A la Carte from Indian, European to Asian cuisines. On Wednesday nights there is usually a sprawling street food buffet, which is so popular among locals that you will need to book in advance for a table.The prices are high, but it merits the quality that is served here. The staff are usually friendly and attentive.Overall you will almost always have a positive experience!

Spectacular Spread. They have the regular buffet for lunch daily and Special ones for Wednesday and Friday dinners. Dont miss the Friday Seafood special dinner. They offer huge range of exotic seafood varieties. Though its got close to 6 different cuisines their Japanese Items Stands out. The Dimsum in Chinese section is a must try. Perfectly made ones.

Great food, lovely ambience, good marketing strategies, great customer engagement - I can use only one word and that is PERFECT!

Brilliant spread to binge on, the assortment of dishes from different regions of the country and the incredibly amazing flavours. I tried the ragi dosa and chicken curry, the keema Pao, the Indian starters (which unfortunately were average),the mutton biryani (which was lipsmackingly delicious) and ... I didnt have any space left in me, but then I had fruits,l and coffee to close out.And the view from the place was breathtakingly awesome

The best of world cuisine can be foundation at this buffet. I personally am not a buffet person, so requested for the their signature dishes.Just loved what i had:Squid pepper fry was absolutely yummySoftshell crab was full of thai flavourRamen was perfect with fresh soba noodlesThe Panna cotta with the sorbe was a perfect finish.

Loved today place. Very comfortable and lovely ambiance. Food tasted good and service was very friendly. Great place to hangout as couple or as family n friends.

Not at all worth the price. Totally wasted.

Sunday Brunch was very average. Good Variety and Good Service but average otherwise. Mostly, the ingredients seemed dried out and the textures were poor. Disappointing experience.

I stayed in Leela palace (December 2nd week) and visited this restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast and lunch was very nice and the day time staff was very polite and respectful but night dinner was pathetic!!! Night manager (for 19th December) was behaving very rude without showing any respect for customers and he made us wait for 2 hours to get our order!!! It was the same with other customers as well and they were also complaining the same. It’s better if the management teach the night shift manager/bearer on how to behave properly with the customers.

I visited during the same time last year and then today. Had breakfast today and quality has gone down considerably and costs have gone up. The number of items have also been reduced. I wouldnt recommend eating the buffet brunch or breakfast here. Would recommend waiting until things get back to normal.

Helpful friendly staff. Food delicious especially the sushi!

Expensive and food taste is average.

Will not suggest anyone for Spectra since I had a very bad experience in regards to service and cleanliness.The service initially was horrible not worth a 5 star until we had complained to the resturant manager.Secondly the linens spread on the tables were torn. We dont expect this from a 5 start hotel. When told about it the manager, he told they knew about the mistake and after that also they had given us the same table.Lastly to our surprise, in a 5 star category hotel, I always knew orders come properly on table after checking what we have ordered, but in our case we had ordered for 1 Butter naan, 2 garlic naan and 1 lacha paratha whereas we got 1 Butter naan, 1 garlic naan and 2 lacha paratha. When we had informed to them they told mistake might have happened plz adjust.Is this how managers treat guest in a 5 star hotel? Poor service and worst maintenance 😔RegardsAkash Deep Agarwal

One of our favourite Sunday brunch options in Chennai. They have a range of food to choose, from sushi to live seafood cooking station, Indian food, dumplings and much more. The desert options are plentiful which after sipping back champagne and eating as much food as you can you’re left feeling totally stuffed and content. We are yet to have a bad experience here. Worth the money every so often. The view is great too!

Nice and Cozy place to chill out

What I call is the standard global-cuisine buffet... but I will add a bit of staff warmth to the experience; as one of my photos show the enthusiasm of the staff to demonstrate the perfect way to blend the filter coffee - street ishtyle.Missed french toast in the buffet.All in all, if you are staying at the Leela Chennai, chances are you will have the breakfast... In word I shall sum it up... Enjoy :)Excellent restaurant and good food quality.

Amazing place!

Excellent breakfast, very wide range of dishes on offer, all very well done - European, Chinese, Indian - a number of breads, cakes and desserts. The fruits on offer are wonderful, served beautifully. Recommended for breakfast!

Good experience, buffet was good

Awesome!!

Tried breakfast buffet and dinner . They taste good . Muffins are little dry .

We had a so-so time. Spectra at night, is an underwhelming experience, stick to the A-MAZING Brunch Buffets.There were a mere sprinkling of customers on a Saturday night, a strict-looking lady in black escorted us to a table, then asked us to sit at an adjacent table while she prepared it. Her preparing was dumping the cutlery in a corner for us to place in the right positions. An unwanted test of our table skills 😏After that fabulous welcome , she banged drawers, cutlery and bustled noisily around like bad background music, through our meal 🙄Then came the wait staff assigned to our table, who thank God was super sweet. He found out all the gluten-free options for us, patiently. We had our food brought in time. The standouts were the Mango shrimp salad , the goat cheese salad and the Almond Panacotta. The Vanilla Creme brulee was too cloying in sweetness, one taste and we left the whole thing.Then came the shift change for their staff, as they have a different menu post 11:30 P.M So we were asked at least twice if our plates could be cleared. That was a tad annoying for us as Im a chatty eater and my sister is a terribly slow one, but we had to speed up our eating 😑.We paid 8000 for the two of us, with an alcoholic drink .In short if it isnt a buffet, I aint going back.

All-Day-Dinning Multi-Cuisine Restaurant.

Food was very good , Thank you chef Kaustubh for your amazing pasta.

The buffet is great however dont go expectung the buffet to be open 24 hours. After 3:30 pm you can only order from the menu.

Good quality food!!!!!!!

I think this is the place where you can see the second most Koreans after Starbucks in Chennai. (Friday evening or weekend buffet)This is a restaurant I go to for sashimi in Chennai and it is very good to go out with friends with unlimited drinks.One thing to note is that you have to be careful with raw oysters. I was fine, but my other friends had food poisoning and struggled for days. It seems different from time to time.
