Really good Dining Experience

During my stay, the buffet breakfast at Heritage Madurai was truly the best I've ever had in India. The variety was impressive, and every dish was delicious. I also had the pleasure of ordering from their menu for dinner, and the service was incredibly attentive. It felt like they genuinely cared about our dining experience.
