This restaurant is value for money for team lunches. They serve a wide variety of starters and main course. The dessert section is less, compared to the other BBQ places. They do not have a live grill on the table. Everything is served on the plates. The ambiance is really different and good. If you are going there for an occasion , do inform the management prior. Parking is bit difficult over there. Overall a good place to dine in , if you go as a group. Not suitable for casual dining.

Had high expectations towards this place...had called the management two days on advance asking if I should book tables or can just walkin and dine....the staff over phone said that we can walk-in directly...but when we went...the security stopped us and said that we arent allowed as theres a function happening....called the management while waiting and a lady showed up and spoke to the security instead of us and then she just walked away....no apology what so ever!! And then the security guy informed that we can dine in...was a total disappointment for me and my family, will definitely not recommend to my friends and family..bad customer management!

Main thing is environment... They decorated the hotel like forest environment... When we visit, the buffet cost is 540rs... Really worth for the food they providing... More starters, Main dishes r awesome... Desserts are really super & many flavours... Worth for money... If you guys want to go for gang dinner, choose it without hesitation... Then one thing about a guy who gave welcome speech, he had talent in music & he ll entertain you & he ll make you to dance... Surely u ll have more fun...

As the name says ANIMAL KINGDOM, It has got some really good interior designs giving you a feel that you are literally surrounded by lots of Animals in side the jungle . The food here is OK! Veg, you wont find much variety but Non Veg, its worth a shot. The cost is around 500 per head. Go and enjoy with your family. Happy dining!!!

Fun place to hangout. Service could be improved. Main course is not at all up to the mark,it is a disaster.

A Very decent buffet spread dining choice for any unplanned occasion or situation. You get a pretty good taste and varieties of food for the cost of ₹540.So animal kingdom is basically a themed restaurant with a atmosphere of wildlife creatures placed inside the dining areas. Food tasted good and not so great but you have to wide range of items spread on the menu. I’ve been to animal kingdom quite a couple of times, but this time when I went a lot of seafood starters were available which was not included during the previous visits. Also surprisingly the chicken biriyani was amazing.Finally, animal kingdom is never a let down during any of my visits.

To be honest, the place was really dirty. I dont think they maintain a lot. Starters would arrive very late sometimes. Though they have a lot of variety, the taste is something I didnt like for most of the dishes. If you are looking for variety of food in affordable prices, try this. But with the price, I dont think worth it.

540 for buffet which includes prawns, crab and mutton as well. Friendly staffs, good service. The ambiance adds a greater advantage to this restaurant, they made few animals move as well with sound which made them look more realistic. To be more precise there were few Chinese style starters and Indian style starters as well, mostly Chinese starters were sweet can be little careful on that. Other starters were amazing, crab and prawns made this amazing. Also they had variety of other starters where we usually dont have like fish momo and fish cutlet, etc. Main courses were also brilliant there were various variety which attracts everyone. Mixed sea food noodle, chicken kothu parota were the highlighted one. Overall it was an amazing experience and its worth the price.

I went at Christmas time for a buffet lunch and had a fully satisfied feel. The theme makes us feel like we are in some kind of dense forest or a cave like thing with animals around us. About the food I would say it is such a flavorsome and delightful to eat as many varieties were served as starters. The starters are the highlights rather than the main course here, so do try it 😎🤘. Overall worth of the money we pay for!.

This is a forest themed restaurant with a buffet menu. They serve unlimited starters and then there is the buffet for main course.To begin with, finding the entrance was a bit of challenge as it is located at the backside of the building. The ambience is good and the kids will the animals and the noises. But lighting was a bit low for my liking. They welcome the kids with a face mask and toffees.They served a wide range of starters from tandoori chicken to mini samosas and egg bajjis. The starters were just OK. In the main course, the items I liked were the stew and the mutton curry. The desert section was decent. Overall, I felt the food could have been much better.

Review №12

Crowded during weekends, feels like congested. During weekdays food menu changes. Staffs r polite, food quality is good but the place is not with pleasant ambience like being in a dark jungle. If u come as a group call and ask for concession. Ice cream could have been better. Enough two wheeler parking. Car parking not possible i think.. its situated under adyar fly over signal. Rain forest is also nearby. Can try once. Few may like this place.

Review №15

Worstest ever place to have a buffet. Even if they offer free food, just don’t step in.!!!!! They have a wide range of varieties. But everything is tasteless. And undercooked. Hardly two starters and main dish were worth to try. Rice was way to dry and uncooked. Even the desserts were unpleasant to taste. Totally not worth for the money you pay. Pay few more extra bucks and enjoy the meal at Barbecue nation or absolute barbecue or coal barbecue.. totally worth it if you are a hardcore foodie.

This is forest themed restuarant and food was so good, no grills at table but they serve all starters to table. The food is worth for money.Service wise they need to improve to compete the best out there in market, more friendly and kind service while serving starters.Overall good for money, different kind of starters from usual buffet restuarants.

Great place for lunch n dinner. All the starters tasted amazing. Limited main course and deserts. Place was lil dark coz of the cave theme. Kids would definitely enjoy the sound n animation of the animals. It was pretty warm in the restaurant n caused lil discomfort. Nominal price and a definite place to visit.

Starters - main dishes - Desserts are all okay. Place near ice cream station is very bad. Guess management need to look into it. Lighting inside premises is dark theme I guess, since some areas do no have light and not able to see what food is served. Service by all the staffs is commendable

Review №27

A good themed restaurant that serves unlimited starters and main course (buffet).This restaurant is on the 4th floor so one has to take the elevator. The elevator itself needs a sound maintenance and thorough design change.The restaurant is generally crowded during the weekends and it is a must to reserve your slot before turning up there. With enough seating within one feels cramped with the seating space.The lighting is dull (to give it the animal kingdom) theme but makes it difficult to see when seated at some corner tables.Food, especially the starters is fantastic and they keep filling your plate up until you say a NO. Main course is good too.The toilets within the restaurant are okay and requires regular maintenance.Card payments accepted here.One requires about 1-2 hrs to thoroughly enjoy the meal.

Average food... Some are really bad... In my whole outing it is the first time I was served water in a paper cup... The Roof top is nightmare... If it is weekends you really need to have enough patience to dine... Price is comparatively less but still not worth it

Went for lunch buffet on a monday with two of my cousins. We all wanted to try a non-grill restaurant this time. The ambience was good and the restaurant was a jungle themed one. The starters were all sooo nice and there were like around 14 starters including veg and non veg. The items were of the correct spicy too. Especially the prawn and fish were the best of them. The service too was quick. We took our time to taste all the starters and tried few of them again for their taste. Coming to the main course, just like all other buffet restaurants it was a okayish one. Our tummies were fill with the starters itself so we couldnt try all the items. They had all varieties of Indian breads and they did not become hard soon like other restaurants. The chicken and mutton gravy were great for the butter naan. Biriyani was too spicy and chicken kothu parotta was also too good. There were around 8 items in the desserts out of which 5 were only good. Carrot halwa was the best of them. They had three varieties of cakes and all them were so hard and were not good. To our surprise they had nitrogen biscuits. But another surprise after gaving it was that it wasnt a biscuit. It was a hard cake which tasted bad. We had it just for taking a video with smoke and spitted it out. The overall bill amount for three of us was 1620 whch definitely was a great worth just for the starters. Would have given 5 stars if not for the desserts.

I have been to this place with my team for team lunch. They offer only buffet here.The ambience is done in theme of forrest , I will rate ambience as average , it needs more light , looks a bit gloomy. Restaurant having two dinosaur replica as you enter. Both the replica can make the sound and do some movement once they on the power. Kids may enjoy this part.Service is good.About food I will rate it average they have a range of veg and no veg starter but nothing taste so great.Rest of main course is ok. I enjoyed fish curry with plain rice in main course. One thing is, bread item they will serve only when you ask them. Desserts are quite good compare to many buffet I have been to.

This restaurant short comings is its ambience. In the name for forest theme this place is claustrophobic, dark and with no ventilation, suffocating.Food has always been like no one can eat just one. The varieties of starter and main course spread is more than any of the restaurants our there for the price. AB and Barbeque nation give you tasteless spread. To give a list of starters that I remember@Welcome lemon drink1. Garlic veg soup2. Sweet and spicy wonton fries3. Panner tikka4. corn and mushroom pepper fry5. Bbq sweetcorn and water melon6.

A new theme restaurant in the outskirts of Adayar. Enjoyable theme. Qualitative buffet food system. The place inside could have been more spacious. Ambience looks like a forest full of plastic set up of animals and trees, which for a few may look clumsy but the theme being animal kingdom it is to be accepted. Very good food. Visit once. Cheap and best too.

Visited this place 2 days back for lunch. Chose buffet. Started with lime juice which was d welcome drink. I must say they had varieties of starters, almost all are yummy and make you full. Chicken manchurian, chicken 65, chicken tandoori, mutton sheek kebab, egg bajji, prawns 65 and few veg starters. Again, d main course list was huge wit 3 types of biriyani, egg fried rice, noodles, kothu parotta, chicken manch gravy, mutton kuzhambu n a few more. Coming to deserts now, not bad. They had vannila n strawberry ice cream, pudding, gulab jamun, ilaneer payasam (this actually tastes lik coconut milk, yet not bad), bread halwa, some sweet (which we did not like). So yeah this is definitely worth the 540 we are paying. One big con would b d horrible entrance and suffocating lift. D restaurant’s ambience s really gud which makes u forget these.

Theme of the restaurant is unique and well maintained. However, the first thing one would notice is the uncomfortable smell due to the restriction of air flow. The lights are too dim for people to see anything clearly, specifically you have to believe that things are right in your plate 😊. Off late, the restaurant is not serving quality food and hygiene. Being a vegetarian, I could see the white plates werent washed to clean. When I asked for a clean plate, the waiter disappeared carrying out all the plates! Non vegetarians get black plate!
