The Oriental Hub - Navi Mumbai

Located right across from Inorbit Mall and near the train station, this restaurant is popular for its affordable buffet and consistently draws a large crowd. The weekends are particularly busy, with dishes like Burnt Garlic Veg Soup, fantastic Sushi, Dimsums, Momos, Corn Cheese Balls, Veg Crispy, Cheese Paneer With Lemon Grass, Chilli Garlic Noodles, Mix Veg Fried Rice, and Honey Noodles being must-tries. For dessert, the Vanilla Ice Cream is recommended. They also offer a unique walking mobile minibar and a great selection of cocktails at the grand bar. The interior is decorated with wooden elements and Buddha paintings, creating an Oriental ambiance.

Situated directly across from the main entrance to Inorbit, The Oriental Hub boasts a fantastic ambiance with a soundtrack of 80's music playing during our visit. The menu offers a fusion of Indian, Thai, Chinese, and other Far Eastern cuisines. We thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes we tried, as they were all delicious and served in generous portions.

The Oriental hub- Located in superb location of new Mumbai/vashi, very near to train station and just adjacent to inorbit mall vashi. Restaurant got perfect front side parking and it’s facing towards mall. You will surely convince that they have kept the name perfectly. Perfect place for people who wants to have an oriental fine dining food. They serve Lunch Buffets which is their speciality but we couldn’t try it as we went in evening. Guys believe me they have wonderful sushi and dim sums. I am sure they have done lot of trials and tastings for sushi. Decor is nice and has kept simple with casual and comfortable sitting. Certainly ambience gives the feel of fine dine oriental restaurant. Staff is very good and friendly. Menu is created nicely as it has oriental section which is loaded with different varieties. I was surprised to c that they have got Indian food as well in the menu. In a way it’s good for guests to choose from lot of options. They have just started Alcohol and I am sure that their bar will be busy.Beverages- Manhattan- Little smoky whisky based drink with sweetness and lime. Good option if you like sweet whisky based cocktails.

Was superb with broccoli florets, baby corns, small diced tofu, French beans, and zucchini inside it. Strongly recommended (5/5) Veg Sushi- Awesome sushi with cream cheese, chives, carrots served with wasabi, pickled ginger and soy. Try it out friends if you are sushi lover (4.5/5) Salmon California roll- simple but worth trying it. (4/5) Wild Mushroom Dim sums - Wild Mushrooms tossed in garlic and fresh herbs. Perfect balancing of garlic flavour and friends believe me it had thinnest possible covering it was possible. (4/5) Prawn dim sums- Prawns with chestnut cooked nicely.

(4/5) Honey Noodles- Perfectly crunchy noodles served with strong flavour of sesame seeds and topped with vanilla ice cream. Best part was it wasn’t chewy. (4.5/5) Lemon and lime cream Brule- Pathetic Brule I ever had, wasn’t set properly, shud use castor sugar/ super fine sugar and not the grain sugar for caramelizing it as that’s the best part of Brule. (2/5) To sum up it’s a perfect destination for oriental food lovers. Don’t miss out their sushi and dim sums.

My review of this restaurant is exclusively based on my experience during Buffet Lunch on 28-10-2016.It was around 14.00 hrs on 28-10-2016, myself and my wife visited this restaurant for Buffet Lunch.The waiter offered to serve soup and snack on table .as a part of Buffet lunch package.we were offered Soup after 10 mts and we have to use the intervention of another waiter to get first round of snacks served after another 15 mts We could not get the repeat. We moved to Buffet Lunch.To our shock and surprise,.out of seven trays of food kept there ,three were empty,one was almost empty.The remaining two trays are (half full) one Rice and another Noodle .May be one more dish..There was already a quarell on between the waiters and customers for their inabilty to supply sufficient quantity of food including starters.No desert items were found there.The waiters admitted their helpnessness .We left at 14.45,most the time spent in waiting without food.There were no adequate number of staff to cater to the needs.There was no supervisor during the Buffet lunch time.Sufficient food could not be prepared to serve the available customers.The restaurant was not full.We paid the full bill of Rs 998 and left the restaurant called Oriental Hub with very much dissatisfaction .Cleanliness was not maintained properly.Our past experience when it was newly opened was very good.We suggest not to visit this Hub for Buffet lunch even if the restaurant is half occupied.Or else ensure that there are sufficient number of waiters to cater to the customers.They cannot besolely blamed .If managed properly,it has an excellent potential to be rated as good.
