Earthen Oven, Fortune Hotel, Sohna Road, Gurgaon

[Rated: 2/5] After reading review on another website about the awadhi food festival buffet, I was waiting for an opportunity to visit Earthen Oven. Except the pricing (Rs499 for a buffet) nothing seems to be going their way.

Service was shabby. After serving the first helping of starters nobody came to ask for repeat. Finally after reminder the waiter did come, but all the appetizers in his plate were cold (Left over portions after 15 minutes were still being served)

The food was no better except the biryani, which was the only saving grace. Though the menu was regular awadhi but the preparation was poor. We just couldn’t taste the Shorba. This one will make the soup served at the hospitals proud. In the main course, Mutton was hard and the fish was over salty. The Shahi Tukra in dessert was absolutely soggy and had already mixed like a pudding.

My earlier experience at this hotel wasn’t pleasant either. Looks like apart from the above average interiors nothing else is going in favor of Earthen Oven.
