The Yellow Turtle, a cafe and restaurant in Golpark, has introduced a weekend buffet that features more than 22 dishes, for both lunch and dinner. The buffet keeps shuffling the popular dishes, such as Chili Garlic Prawn, Vegetable Au Gratin, Chicken Mie Goreng Noodles and many more. The restaurant is the brainchild of young entrepreneur Apeksha Lahiri, who also runs Asha Audio after her mother, Mahua Lahiri, passed away. Apeksha said that the inspiration behind the buffet was the fusion of Asian and Continental delicacies. She wanted to respect each and make a buffet that would represent the best of each cuisine. The dine den’s Instagrammable brick wall facade and three-dimensional frescoes give it a youthful vibe.
