We had heard a lot of good things about the outlet in Marathalli. So with same hopes we visited this outlet with many great foodie friends. Nevertheless, it reached our expectations and yes, we were happy with their service. This restaurant offers nothing more than a solid buffet. This place is like none other, offering an unlimited buffet on restaurant-wide dishes, no restrictions at all.<\/p>\n<p>For veg starters, we had Vietnamese Grill, Mediterranean Mushroom and Paneer Rawal Pindi on the Live Grill. Veg Soup, American Cheesy Potato and Caramelized Pineapple were served separately.<\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lifeonplates\/24786401490\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"abs (17)\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1700\/24786401490_693afb9419_k.jpg\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1152\" alt=\"abs (17)\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lifeonplates\/24988698181\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"abs (20)\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1654\/24988698181_55e1531031_k.jpg\" width=\"2048\" height=\"595\" alt=\"abs (20)\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lifeonplates\/24988696501\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"abs (19)\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1578\/24988696501_3a1e5d6c44_k.jpg\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1503\" alt=\"abs (19)\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lifeonplates\/24451315514\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"abs (13)\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1712\/24451315514_dcd064e322_k.jpg\" width=\"1518\" height=\"2048\" alt=\"abs (13)\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>For non-veg starters, we were served Chilli Garlic Fish, Schezwan Prawns and Caribean Jerk Chicken on the Live Grill.

Live-Grill on each table is a great way to keep foodie excited. There&#8217;s live music at all times and the singer is amazing! They use plates with green\/black colored stem to differentiate between veg\/non-veg to avoid confusion. They refill the grill constantly and you won&#8217;t feel empty at any moment. The place gets crowded easily, so it&#8217;s recommended to have a reservation. The staff and management are friendly. If you use Google Maps, it shows directions to the back entrance of the building and it&#8217;s located on the 2nd floor.
