Spice Route Melange (BYOB)

recommended by a foodie friend last night I visited this place for the bengali buffet they are serving till sunday to celebrate the durga puja . very nice curation of buffet menu. Even from a price point it worked out . Also the atmosphere was so nice each diner started interacting with the other table & it became like a big family talking & eating together. It satiated my craving for kolkata style biriyani . It also served dishes like maacher tok & 'plastic chutney' delicacies which I could not even think of tasting in this side of the world.

This was my first visit, and I opted for their buffet. Unfortunately, the vegetarian menu was quite underwhelming. Although they offered a wide variety chole, paneer lababdar, spinach corn (saag corn), stir-fried vegetables, hot and sour soup, lemonade, vegetable pakodi, chana masala, spinach dal, cauliflower pakodi, noodles, naan, white rice, pani puri, and samosa most dishes lacked flavor and texture. The saag corn was especially disappointing, and the stir-fried vegetables tasted like they were made using hot and sour soup as a base. The paneer was extremely tough to eat In contrast, the non-vegetarian selection Goat biryani, garlic chicken, pepper chicken, and Amritsari fish was decent. Among the entire spread, the pani puri, samosa, and a few desserts were the only items I enjoyed. Th

I am staying at the Hyatt which right next door and have eaten there several times... .for me it is a vegetarian's dream. The choices are many and always delicious. I am especially fond of the dal makani ( brown lentils in tomato sauce with cream) desserts also quite good. RIce pudding is lovely and the strawberry ice cream seems to be homemade and fantastic. Best ice cream I've ever had. The staff is always cordial and welcoming. I love this place.

We recently had a party at Melange. The food, ambience and service were all outstanding. I have to especially mention the amazing quality of the food. The restaurant has a positive reputation already for its Indochinese cuisine but the Daal Maakhni was the best I have had in any restaurant and other north Indian items (Eggplant , Malai kofta, paneer dishes) were all excellent. The food compares with the best of Indian restaurants , even in India and I highly recommend it. The service also deserves special mention.

The food is quite expensive for the taste. While they offer a good variety, none of the dishes really live up to the price. Their service and ambience are nice, but that alone doesn’t justify the cost. We ordered from the menu—maybe the buffet would offer better value.
