this is such a good fine dining restaurant in the prime locality of Mysore, yet many people are unaware of its presence i feel, i personally think that this restaurant isn't advertised pretty well, there are very few or less details about this restaurant online such as the menu items, prices, service, parking ...etc. its buffet price and availability details are not mentioned anywhere on the internet, i finally had to call up the restaurant to get the buffet price and availability details before visiting it myself for dining, and also i came across many people who were aware about this restaurants presence but they didn't know that it served buffet. this restaurant also offers free WiFi to the customers.
coming to ambiance, to keep up with the name funnel they have decorated the area near to the entrance with a stack of aluminium funnels and that's about that, the rest of the area looks completely just a normal fine dining restaurant, it's really a big restaurant and can accommodate a huge crowd also they have a little party garden area which can be booked for any special occasions. the seating felt little cozy but the lighting indoors are very dim and dull.
coming to buffet, we had been on Sat so the buffet price was Rs 249/- (plus tax) on that day, one starter (veg Manchurian) was served at the table,
Buffet Spread - there were 3 side dishes (2 veg and 1 non veg) for roti's, rotis (Indian bread) were served at the table, 2 veg salads, 1 veg biryani, 1 white rice, 1 rasam, 1 dessert (jamun), 1 ice cream ( Vanilla with 4 different sauces), 1 papad, 1 raitha, 1 curd. for a price of 249 Rs the spread was worth it, food was good and satisfying, buffet prices are different for different days, and i don't know if the buffet spread will include more items on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday where the buffet prices are more.
Service was really good, they kept on clearing the table by removing the empty plates from time to time so we could have fresh plate and table had more room to keep new plates. over all a really good fine dining restaurant, i feel it needs to market and advertise it self more. also they give 15% discount on the final bill for student group.
I had visited "The Funnel" on 20-May with my family for lunch. The ambience was good.
We took some time to order since there were many options. We ordered Cheese Corn balls. They were very tasty. We also ordered the Vegetable Platter. One word of caution is that their portions are huge so please order carefully. The Vegetable Platter had all types of Grilled vegetables including Potatoes, Onions, Paneer, mushrooms and Naans.
For main course we ordered Vegetable Noodles, Schezwan noodles and Peas Pulav. The highlight was the Peas Pulav as it was very yummy and wholesome. We finished the meal with refreshing fresh lime sodas.
The only improvement required was their table service as we had to be ask for being served on many occasions.
Overall a good place and a place worth visiting for lunch if you are in and around Mysore.
