Common Concerns

Showing 2 of 5

Limited variety

Several diners found the dinner buffet smaller than expected, with limited hot dishes, mains and vegetarian choices.

Room noise

A private event made one dinner unusually noisy, while another review reported echo and poor sound quality during live music.

The Bottom Line

The Fountain Restaurant in Oud Metha is built around buffet dining, with a different theme on many evenings and a well-reviewed Saturday brunch. Visitors come for dishes such as biriyani, sushi, seafood and generous dessert displays, while the brunch adds live music and family activities. The strongest feedback is for food quality rather than sheer scale.

One brunch guest praised fresh oysters, fall-apart beef short ribs, grilled prawns, roasted salmon, salads, mocktails and house-made ice cream. Asian night also earned specific praise for nasi goreng and tom yum soup. Desserts are a recurring bright spot, with crêpes, waffles, ice cream and cotton candy helping make brunch appealing to families.

There is a less consistent side. Several dinner guests felt the buffet had too few hot dishes, mains or vegetarian choices, and one seafood visit found the seafood section entirely raw. Service is often warm and attentive, but plate clearing, replenishment and à la carte timing have occasionally caused frustration.

A private event also made one dinner much noisier than expected. Call ahead to confirm the night’s theme and ask about seafood availability. Drivers can use valet parking, and Groupon was mentioned as a way to improve brunch value.
