Food Review - Feast, Sheraton Bangalore

The all day dining restaurant at Sheraton Bangalore is called Feast. Located on the ground floor, it allows seamless flow between the lobby and the restaurant. The decore is simple yet elegant, and most of the area is divided between the buffet and the seating. Needless to say, the seating capacity is quite large as this happens to be the area where breakfast is served for all guests.

At other times of the day it is an ideal place to relax and have a quick snack.
For lunch and dinner they have a la carte as well as buffet on the menu. We had the buffet on the night we visited.



The spread is quite large and they have various sections to it. The salad bar has about a dozen options, both veg and non veg, and not all are for the health conscious eater with some of them having copious amounts of cheese and mayonnaise. Starters were served on the table, veg had options like paneer tikka, babycorn and channe ki tikki. Babycorn was tasteless and paneer was just about ok. Non veg had fish and chicken
Kabab. Sadly all the starters were rather not memorable.

There was a section of oriental cuisine with noodles, fried rice and a couple of dry and gravy dishes. We tried the noodles which were unfortunately rather cold and we didn't have much of it. The fried rice was pretty good though.
A small spread of Italian and continental items such as roasted potatoes, zuchhini rolls which were good, some cheese based lamb dish and some bread options. A live pasta counter added to the options, but we didn't try the pastas.





Indian section had few south indian dishes like rasam with steamed rice, avial, curd rice and a fish curry. 
Lamb biryani was quite nice and the veg biryani was not bad either. Raita was available to have with the 
biryani, but we had it more with the dal makhani which was thick and delicious. 

The dal tadka was also good.

They also had paneer gravy and mix vegetables along with chicken curry and mutton rogan josh if i'm not mistaken.

The indian cuisine was pretty much the saving grace and that's what filled our tummies mostly.




The desserts section looked inviting and we had reserved some space to satiate our sweet tooth. A variety of cakes, souffle, mousse decorated the display counter. Some cut fruits were available as always for the diet conscious, and their caramel custard was a little watered down, could have been a bit thicker. The rasagulla was the pick of the sweets, but we were disappointed at the lack of Indian sweets - no gulab jamoon, jalebi, halwa, kheer, nothing! A live ice cream teppanyaki counter was interesting and had 6-7 flavours of ice cream and a whole lot of toppings, we tried a mixture of mango, vanilla and chocolate and it was quite interesting. A favourite among kids for sure.

Service is as expected from a 5 star hotel of this standard. Pricing is expensive obviously, even though it might not be ideal for a special occasion, maybe dining with family or friends.

They also have a sunday brunch  priced at 1695+tax without alcohol which might be a feasible option for a relaxed meal.

Rating - 3.5/5
