Efes

Location: Gulshan 1
What We Ordered: Dinner Buffet
Total Bill: BDT 850++ Per Person

Food:

Salads and Appetizers:
Although there was a very limited choice of salads and appetizers, almost all of them tasted really good. The egg canape, the wonton, the spring roll, the rice noodle salad and the apple salad were delicious.

Assorted Appetizers (Spring Roll, Wonton and Pineapple Cheese Sticks), Egg Canape, Salads and Raita and Breads (Naan and Paratha)
Soups:
For soup, they had clear thai and chicken corn. Both of them were average.

Mains:
The mains were very disappointing. Among the indian items, the kebabs were very dry and almost all the curries tasted the same. Only the vegetable and the yellow daal were able to strike out. The same monotony was evident in the chinese items as well. The only outstanding item was the chilli pomfret but unfortunately this dish was refilled only once, that also after huge time gap.

Fried Rice, Chow Mein and Steamed Rice, BBQ Chicken and Chili Pomfret


Chili Chicken, Fish with Garlic, Crab, Thai Vegetable, Fish Tikka and Chicken Boti
Fish and Chicken Dopiaza, Vegetable Dopiaza and Daal
Desserts:
The desserts were perhaps the biggest dissapointment. Not only were they limited in number, the looks were repelling and all of them tasted blunt. Specially the rice cake and the tapioca pudding were not even worth a bite.

Overall Rating: 6/10
Desserts
Service: 
The waiters should have been much prompt in clearing the tables. One waiter had to take care of 7-8 tables.
Rating: 7/10

Ambiance: 
They have a fountain intended to ornament the ambiance. However, floating packets and dead insects inside it as a result of ill maintenance contributed to spoil the atmosphere.
