The Piano @ Savera hotel is a multi cuisine buffet restaurant. Ive been here once for a team lunch.The buffet spread included soups, salad, appetizers, main course and desserts. Soups, appetizers, flat breads and pizzas will be served on the table. We were served with hot and sour chicken soup. It was hot and had the right consistency.While I was sipping the soup, appetizers started arriving to the table. It included chicken, mutton and fish kebabs. Staffs were quite slow and not attentive to our requests. We booked for lunch and gave them a heads up on the number of persons, in advance. Still they couldnt cater to us properly. Quantity of starters served was little every time and it vanishes in no time. We had to wait long for the next servings. Tired of asking them repeatedly to get the starters, we had to move on to main course.Both the veg and non-veg main course items were arranged neatly around the live kitchen counter. There is another counter with a large oven that serves pizzas and flat bread. Most of the items tasted good. Especially, liked the mutton gosht which was prepared to perfection. Mutton chunks were succulent with perfect blend of masala. It tasted well with the accompanying soft rotis. Thin crust veg pizza was served on the table. Pizza had a lavish amount of cheese and tasted good.Desserts section had good variety of pastries, cakes, ice cream and Indian sweets including malpua and kesari. Ice cream was not frozen enough and it was runny.Those who are fond of wide variety of starters/appetizers, this restaurant would be a slight disappointment. For others who enjoy the full course meals and dont care much about the appetizers, thumbs up for them.Decent ambience and ample parking space for two wheelers and cars.

Destination : Piano @saverahotelchn .The New Food festival has started in the Piano with new updated menu at Rs.1458 for lunch and Rs.1575 for dinner and more exclusive offers for you!!! .Come as 3 and pay for 2😍Come as 5 and pay for 3😍.Special chat stall, lassi stall, falooda stall are set for the summer fest and the pizza corner with one of the citys wood fired pizza waiting for your order.The buffet has 4 veg and non veg starters each, 6 veg salads, 4 non veg salads, 15 desserts, 14 veg main, 4 non veg main course and 2 soups.... Thats a lot of option for you to select from and it is worth a try during this month with chefs special waiting for you.Deep blue sea, a blue curacao mocktail with ice floating gives the real feels of the name.Murgh malai kebab, veg momo, corn sheek kebab, grilled achari paneer, spiced chilly egg, grilled fish and lots of starters which just filled the tummy and I had to wait a while before jumping into the main course.Lucknow murgh biryani with ghost kholapuri and chicken in spicy sichuan sauce was a good combo and even veggies options was good( I tried too little to review).Desserts, the place were I was confused which to select and so just took one from each plate having aost 12 types of cales, pastries, puddings, sweets, fruits. It is a lot for a day, but once a while having a lot doesnt make you fat... .So just visit #piano in savera hotel and enjoy the new improved buffet in a awesome ambience with yoyr friends and family. .

When we came to know that Piano Restaurant, located on the ground floor of the Savera Hotel had started a Summer Fest Buffet. With their special offer like come as 5 pay for 3 or come as 3 pay for 2 priced at Rs 1458 for lunch at Rs 1575 for dinner, available on all days except Sundays till June 2019. we just couldnt resist and made a beeline to the hotel for lunch.Chef Jesu explained that the dishes have been chosen from all round the globe and a leisurely walk around the buffet, you would get the impression that you need to seriously think about pacing yourself so that you could enjoy the variety on display.To quench our thirst we had the mango and pineapple mock tail followed by the Potato Leek and Chicken Soup. The starters were delivered at the table and included Sichuan Spiced Chilly Egg, Murg Malai Kabab, Tawa Grilled Murg Masala and Cajun Spiced Grilled Fish. The fish was quite thinly sliced so as to help the flavours permeate and Grilled on a Hot Plate and served. It was quite fresh and with the right amount of spice so as to tickle your taste buds. Quite an exciting fare I must admit. In between we were also served some delectable chicken and Veg momos along with a dish specially made by the Chef for us the Chilly Prawns, that took us down memory lane.They also have a wide variety of salads too.Now you need to take a breather and have a walk around to get things settled in your stomach because they have live stations where you can order Pizzas both Veg and Non Veg on a wood fired oven. The Non Veg Pizza was a fully loaded affair with quite a lot of cheese and chicken. They also have other live counters as well like the Lassi Counter, Chaat, Mocktail and Falooda Counters. Now that you have tasted all this you need to take another break so as to leave room for the main course.Iam a die hard Non Vegetarian so I wanted to taste only the non veg dishes. The Lucknow Murgh Biriyani was quite good and the chicken cooked to perfection with sides like the Kholapuri Ghost, Chicken in spicy Sichuan Sauce,and the Grilled Fish with Lemon Butter Sauce which again proved to be another favourite of mine.You seriously would need another stomach to fill in the goodies from the Dessert section with their wide array of Pastries and Indian sweets. To round it all off we had a demo from Chef Anish on the making of the falooda. Would adding ice cream to the falooda negate the slimming property of the basil seeds?With this thought in mind and a full stomach I made my way out of the buffet, a time well spent with excellent food and attentive staff.

Worst service on a week day Friday. The buffet had lots of vinegar added items and couldnt consume more than a plateful. The restaurant turns off ac and attends to their internal work even before customers could leave. The lady at the welcoming door didnt have a smile on her face and couldnt treat customers well.. food was not great for the buffet price ..

Been there a few times and the last couple of times I had buffet - once for lunch and the other time for dinner. While the spread is good, the selection of menu is poor; for example, I picked a Chinese fried rice and found no Chinese vegetarian side dishes to go with it. The food was cold by the time you reach your table. The starters served on the table were good. There was live music on the day I had dinner and the guy played some numbers.

I stayed in Savera Hotel and the Buffet Breakfast and Buffet Dinner in Piano Restaurant was complimentary for me. There are variety spread of food,pastries, desserts, sweets, Cakes, North indian and south indian dishes were available. They maintained a pleasant.Ambience. The guitarist and the musician added pleasant ambience in the Dinner Buffet Hall. The starters served on the Table were excellent.

I enjoyed dining at Piano, Savera. I have always felt welcomed at the Savera properties.The buffet spread was modest but well arranged. The seating and ambience makes you feel comfortable!There are items in the buffet that remind you of a pitstop barbeque/ all-you-can-eat buffet along the highways of NOVA, USA. But the Indian dishes on this buffet have authenticity in flavor. The hot curry-meats were overcooked, but the ones in the cold salads were well cooked.There is a lot of history that India owes to the chettinad (Pepper gravy). The age of discovery in Europe followed the need to find a cure to the black plague, and circumvent the monopoly of Indian spices by the arab traders. The visigoths were aware of Kerala and the eastern ghat spices from voyages of early christians like St. Thomas himself. The chettinad/ pepper curry was one of many curries, sought after (worldwide) for good health. To me, it is by far a hallmark of any item on a menu at a south indian restaurant. The chettinad gravy at this Piano was an absolute stunner, true to its cause and does taste like that of you would get in Chera Nadu. More specifically I would say that it tasted like that I had in Selvi mess, Salem.The dessert spread was fine, but the taste did not impress as much as the lunch. Indian desserts were good but the western desserts felt a little off. I am not particularly familiar with butter cream pastries in India, I have also had a hard time getting authentic whip cream in an Indian foods confectionery store. The cakes/ gateau do stand out own their own but I grew up baking Betty Crocker cakes on lazy weekends. To me this super moist cake serves as a benchmark of how a quick-bake cake should taste like.I would recommend this place to those who have a foreign friends visiting Chennai and if they ever enjoyed dining at a country club buffet.For homegrown chefs to serve authentic meal... is a praise to the Indian culinary craftsmanship!
