Great Food Experience

I had an amazing time dining at the resort. The food was a good mix of Indian, continental, and English cuisine. I particularly loved the chicken tikka from the tandoor, which was the best I had during my stay. The restaurant is known for its Sunday lunch, which was better than anything I have experienced even in the UK. Overall, the food was fresh and cooked to perfection.

Every evening at Ruffles was filled with entertainment. I especially enjoyed the karaoke nights, which were a crowd favorite. The entertainment staff was responsive to requests, so I could even hear some modern hits that I loved. The atmosphere was very lively and made for a great way to unwind after a day of exploring.
