Top 6 buffets in Cuttack- Bhubaneswar (Twin cities)

Top 6 buffets in Twin cities

Buffets are a good option for those who value verity over quality. Yes, in a buffet the quality is reduced to an extent while it is compensated with verity or in other words the number of options you get. So, in a way, it is a bang for buck experience for those who want to enjoy a 3 course at a decent price with more than one option per course.

The second great feature in buffets is “All you can eat”. Of course, you can eat whatever you want and how much ever you want, but can you really? Well, it is up to you. The basic idea is to take whatever you want according to your need.
This is to ensure the minimization of wastage. You don’t need to order again and again and pay for each order. Pay once and leave with a belly full.

Today I will be rating my top 6 picks for buffet in Cuttack- Bhubaneswar region of Odisha, also called twin cities. I am going to rate each restaurant based on verity, value for money, quality of each course, service and ambience.
