Waters Edge Cafe - Mahabalipuram

This restaurant is located inside the Radisson Blu hotel and resort in Mahabalipuram. The restaurant offers buffet options for those staying in the Resort. The breakfast options include a convenient spread of Continental and traditional South and North Indian options. They have a wonderful coffee and tea bar which makes fresh coffee. I've had varied experience on the taste for the filter coffee but overall like the Masala chai here and recommend the same. The service in general tends to be good. I do think having some additional staff for taking orders might be helpful. It can get busy on certain days and given the crowd that's possible in a resort, patience is a virtue! : I got a chance to order some local dishes when I was here. The Madras onion and keerai (spinach pakodas were amazing with masala chai in the evening. I also had the mango milkshake which was very delicious. The duty managers do a good job service intervention when you have an issue. So do request for the manager in case you run into any issue. I recommend this restaurant for the snacks and beverage choices. Highly recommend the breakfast options available here. If you are a Radisson Blu rewards member and stay at the resort, you do get 10% discount on the food and beverage here.

Good food and great Ambience. Had a good family time.

The food and service was good. The buffet price is on the higher end but only limited non-veg items were available.

Beware! Don't even step near the buffet. A la Carte might be a better option but we saw many people waiting long to receive their food. Buffet did not have the right service and the food was average at best. Service was pathetic. The chicken kebab was uncooked and despite a complaint from another guest, they took a very long time to remove it. Would never recommend this place.
