We hosted a family lunch at Shayona Restaurant for a group of 30 guests and opted for their set menu, which included three starters, four mains, naans, pickles, and far far. The restaurant was specifically chosen to accommodate the Jain food requirements of some of our guests.
Initially, we had some concerns based on mixed reviews and feedback from other family members who had previously dined there and were not entirely satisfied. However, after speaking with Shaishav, the manager, he listened carefully to our concerns and took appropriate steps to ensure the event ran smoothly.
Most importantly, the food was freshly prepared, well-balanced in flavour, and not overly spicy or oily, which was appreciated by all our guests. Everyone was pleased with the selection, and there were no shortages—in fact, there was more than enough food for everyone.
The space allocated for our group was sufficient and comfortable. The only minor issue was that our seating was close to the kitchen, and at times the kitchen noise was noticeable. That said, the overall ambience was simple, clean, and pleasant, very much in keeping with a restaurant associated with a place of worship.
In terms of value, the price per plate felt fair considering the quantity and quality of food provided. We did not feel it was overpriced, contrary to what some reviews have suggested. Table and seating arrangements were well managed, with enough room to move around without feeling cramped. Plates and cutlery were readily available throughout the meal.
The food was served buffet-style, and we were given adequate time between courses, which allowed guests to eat comfortably and at a relaxed pace.
Overall, it was a positive experience, and our guests left satisfied. A good option for larger groups, especially where Jain or vegetarian dietary requirements are essential.
