| - I attended this restaurant/banquet hall for lunch buffet and unfortunately I will never return.
The majority of food was not so much tasteless, but simply off-tasting. Having devoted so much of my time, money and hunger to devouring quality indian food from the GTA to as far as India, I feel as though I have a solid grasp on the cuisine, and Mumbai Sapphire has an abundance of work to do.
The majority of the curries here were extremely "soupy". Take the mattar paneer for example, cubes of paneer (cheese) and mattar (green peas) in a sweetish and somewhat thick curry sauce. At the Sapphire this dish looked like a big container of soup, I had to use the spoon to dig up and raise to the surface the peas and cheese, on top of that the dish was bland and textureless. I soon learned this was the formula to many of their curries, soup.
The butter chicken (the dish that has the potential to make or break this establishment) tasted like tomato soup. It was as red as Rudolph's nose and full of drumsticks?!?! DRUMSTICKS?? Butter chicken is made with boneless chicken and should have a creamy and comforting consistency to it. This one was a large container of tomato soup full of bones. In addition to this madness, Ariel G. told me how he informed an employee there of the overpowering wealth of tomato flavour in the BC and they told him how he doesn't know what real indian food should taste like.
Sadly there is not really any dish here worth mentioning. The service was good and they bring fresh naan to your table, which earned them 2 stars. To date there is still no indian buffet that holds it down like the Host, it's no surprise that they raised the price of their buffet.
