Extremely disappointing and unprofessional experience. I visited this restaurant today with my parents, expecting a pleasant lunch based on the 4.9 rating and the fact that Google Maps clearly showed the restaurant as open until 10:30 p.m. This is how most travellers plan their visits, especially when coming from another city and we trusted the information shown online. We travelled from Puri, spending ₹300 on the cab, only to be told upon arrival that they do not serve “outsiders.” This was said (Deepitish) in a disrespectful tone to my father when he politely asked why the restaurant was refusing service despite being listed as open online. There are CCTV cameras, so the behaviour can be verified. We were later told that a wedding was happening at Sterling, and therefore the restaurant would only serve wedding guests. If that was the case, the responsible and professional thing would have been to update: • Google Maps hours • Their website • Their availability so that guests do not travel long distances only to be turned away. Instead, we were told things like: • “Why didn’t you call before coming?” • “You should inform us before travelling.” • “We won’t serve you.” These statements are unacceptable from any hospitality establishment. We received no apology, no acknowledgment of the inconvenience caused, and no assistance in returning. We had to walk nearly 2 km to find a way back because cabs were not available in that area. I cannot comment on the food because we were never served. But the lack of communication, lack of professionalism, and dismissive attitude we encountered make this experience one of the worst I’ve had in any hotel or restaurant. Until they update their process, communication, and behaviour towards guests, I cannot recommend this place to anyone.

Great food, chef "shiv sankar"amazing & his Chicken Makhani, Chicken biryani are best with excellent desert. Great atmosphere 🥰

I recently stayed at this beautiful property and had an amazing experience! The hotel itself is aesthetically pleasing, and it offers plenty of perfect spots to take stunning photos — ideal for your Instagram or travel memories. One of the best parts of my stay was the view of the beach from the hotel. It was absolutely breathtaking — whether it was sunrise, sunset, or just a calm afternoon, the view always looked picture-perfect. The ambiance is peaceful, the surroundings are clean and vibrant, and the location is ideal if you’re looking to relax by the sea. Definitely a place I’d recommend if you're looking for a stay that combines comfort with incredible beach views.

Definitely the best foods I've tasted. The chefs are very good at their job. I would love to appreciate the Indian Cuisine Chef "Siba Shankar" for preparing us a beautiful & delicious "Chicken Makhani". The breakfast prepared by Chef Sujan is the most healthy and mouthwatering at the same time, really loved each dish prepared there. Even the Chinese dish was tasty. Would recommend Fish & Chips for starters and must try Chingri Malai Curry.

The service at the Sterling Resorts always astonishes me to the fullest. Here at Puri we are very fulfilled to have experienced such a great hospitality. It was mother's day the day we arrived and we ordered a customized chocolate cake from the kitchen and the Pastry Chef Priyanka she baked it perfectly to our expectations and more... Very great taste...

Amazing food and very sweet staff. They even gave us complimentary dessert as we reached late and couldn't order much food. Our server Ashish was thoughtful and professional. The menu had a wide and tempting variety of food options and drinks. A must visit when in Puri to enjoy a great meal.
