    As it was Iftaar I think to avoid the long queues. Jugs of water and savouries should/ could've been placed on the tables. The coffee station is unavailable as the food queue blocks usage during peak time. Perhaps this could be placed somewhere else. The food was excellent a wide variety of food therefore something for everyone. Salads, fruit and desert bar had a good variety. Ice cream station was a hit with the kids. The waiting staff was friendly and helpful. The buffet was continuously filled with fresh food. The curry gets a 10/10 we just missed the rooti.

    Dear Ferial Shukran for your reply, I am glad you had a great time, however next time when you do a booking, please request some rotis and we will gladly make some for you.
