Review- Sunday Buffet at the Newly Opened JW Cafe at JW Sahar.

On a bright Sunday afternoon, we stepped into the opulent lobby of JW Sahar and looked around awestruck. Swarovski crystal chandeliers glistened as natural light poured into the high ceilinged lobby designed with metal and glass elements. We walked on the polished marble floor and paused at the entrance of JW Cafe to take a quick picture. We are happy we did that. Because afterwards we forget everything. Everything but happiness and a lingering pleasure that good food brings. We are talking about the much talked about Sunday brunch spread at the newly opened JW Café at JW Sahar. We had seen many pictures on our Instagram feed but nothing had prepared us for the celebrations that unravel every Sunday at JW Café.

All around us happy patrons sauntered around drool worthy food and then settling down to relish it with loved ones. We did too and that’s why we will now tell you our top 5 reasons to indulge at the JW Cafe:

The Study of Seafood section – If you love seafood, the variety at the JW Café is going to make your mouth water. Try choosing between King crabs from Alaska with meat so white and succulent, you want to eat them till you are full… lobsters and jumbo prawns- served cold with dips of choice or with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Done eating? Wait…  New Zealand mussels await you too. We told you first that the Study of Seafood would be rewarding. :-)

Mussels- Want to try some? Head to JW Cafe

Say Cheese- Want some exotic indulgence? Choose your favorite variety of cheese from the spread- Gouda, Brie, or Pecorino and take some olives, pate, crackers and crudités (vegetable sticks) and savor them. While you are at it pick some cured meats too, return to your table, kick your heels and dig in. Just like we did.

Live Counters- The live counters at the café pan across Thai, Arabic, Indian, Japanese, Sri Lankan, Pizza and pastas, Indian gravies and chaat items and more…What we loved is that the authenticity of flavors in each section is assured by specialized chef. “License to Grill” section serves seafood like prawns, rawas, red snapper, grouper fish and chicken grilled with select spices

Inside Tip- Want to eat them all, wear loose pants, just like we did. 

Desserts-  “They look so good, I wish I can take some home with me” whispered someone at the desserts counter. We wished we could too. The dessert spread has treats like fresh donuts, churros, cheesecakes, pastries, brownies….just about anything that can make you go weak in the knees. Before you jump up and down gleefully, we would like to add that there are toppings for desserts too- jellybeans, jujubes, sprinklers, marshmallows….and ice cream and Indian mithai. “Let me have just one” said no one ever at this counter at JW Sahar.

Child Friendly so children can have fun too- A sneak peek outside the JW Sahar reveals happy children playing games and indulging in fun activities so mommy and daddy can have some heartfelt conversations too. Dedicated staff members overlook the children and happy children hop back to their tables replenish energy levels and eat with their parents in between games. With the onset of summer holidays, JW Sahar surely has given a thought about their little patrons too. Nice :-)

We recommend you to try the buffet at JW Sahar over good food and heartfelt conversations with a loved one. As Luciano Pavarotti once said- “One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.” Go on, listen to him. We were always told to listen to wise men.
