Chutneys Bistro offers a delightful Indian dining experience, with a buffet option that features a variety of flavorful dishes. The food is consistently delicious, made with organic ingredients that don't cause any digestive issues. The weekend brunch buffet is a particular highlight, set in a historic school building with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The restaurant provides a nice variety of items, including both Indian and American-style dishes, as well as a selection of desserts. The naan and rice are prepared to perfection, and the curries are made according to traditional recipes. The menu includes many items clearly marked as vegan or easily made vegan, making it a perfect spot for both vegans and non-vegans. The interior is quite elegant, and the wait staff are professional and fun, creating a pleasant dining environment. Customers praise the excellent food and service, with some mentioning that the tikka masala is among the best they have had. The hot food bar features delicious chicken in butter chicken that falls right off the bone, and vegetarian options are plentiful for those who prefer them. The dessert bar offers amazing treats like mango mousse, rice pudding, and fruit. The organic menu and friendly servers are highly appreciated, especially by families who enjoy the vegetarian options and sauces. Shimul adds a funny and kind touch to the atmosphere. Visitors often find the food very tasty and feel nostalgic, especially when enjoying the Indian flavors. Many consider it the best buffet spot in town, with lots of options for both veg and non-veg lovers, alongside fresh salads and desserts. Although drinks are not included with the buffet, the overall experience offers good value, excellent service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere.
