It's rare for me to be at a pure veg joint for dinner, but the guests with me were such that i had no option.
I had heard about Sattvam serving authentic veg and jain cuisine and decided to give it a try.
Located at sankey road between cauvery theatre and vyalikaval circle, this restaurant has a huge seating area.
Despite that don't try to go here without booking on a weekend, it is packed with our gujju, marwari brethren...
The decore is decent and elegant, seating is comfortable, though the elbow room gets a little tight while eating.
There is an interesting signage at the entrance about how to maintain your kids by your side, and in fact there is a designated kids play area, which unfortunately was under renovation during our visit, so the restaurant was infested by loads of kids... Naturally the decibel levels were relatively very high and a peaceful meal here would be hard to imagine.
Coming to the food, we had the buffet wherein soup and starters are served on the table.
The soup was tomato tulsi soup and had a good sweet sour taste, and the starters included makai seekh kabab, paneer tikka, mini cutlet of sorts and an aloo roll kind of starter. The taste was alright and the food was served hot thankfully.
Going to the main course, they had a reasonably large spread of salads/chat followed by curd rice, bisi bele bhat, pulyogre, rasam, steamed rice, pastas and american chopsuey. The north indian variants included about 6-7 dishes and veg biryani.
The biryani was dry and pretty poor, some of the curries were better such as matar kofta, paneer and choley.
Some of the dishes had a sweetish tinge which i don't like but many people especially gujrati's love.
To be frank, the food was very average... that until we got to the desserts.
A huge spread awaited us including bengali sweets, pineapple jalebi, halwa, mousse, pasteries, ice creams, chocolate fountain, phirni and more... My mouth is watering again just thinking about it.
Most of the desserts were really nice and the fruit cream and gajar halwa were brilliant. Not too sweet, and that was the key.
I believe all baked desserts are also made eggless, so thats a big plus for the pure veggies.
Service was good and very quick, i loved the fact that rotis were served within 2 minutes of being ordered, everytime! This ensured the food could be eaten hot and is a big plus.
On the value for money front i feel it is over priced, but that depends on how best one can utilize the buffet... for the hardcore veggies its not a bad option at all.
