My fiance and I were looking for a place to throw an engagement party. We needed a place that would accommodate our needs and a staff that was eager to help us arrange the night the way we imagined. We were expecting around 200 guests so we didn't want a hall that was too small or too big. Delicious food, apt space, and friendly service were the main things we were looking for and we found it all at World's Fair Marina. The staff was very professional, friendly, and easy to talk to. There were no glitches in their service during the party and the staff was always available for addressing our concerns. Especially the manager, Mr. Siraj, was very patient with us and addressed every phone call. There are two halls available at this venue. The main hall on the ground floor is bigger and has stage space and dance floor, while the top floor is smaller and lacks dance floor and stage space is very limited. But I think if you have a bigger party you can probably book both floors to accommodate all your guests. There is a balcony that looks over the main hall from the top floor. We went with the main hall which was perfect size for our party. The outdoor decoration lighting on the trees also added to the party ambiance. The gazebo and the bay area was gorgeous at sunset. But they need to make a few touch-ups because it looked weathered. And they should definitely fix the fountain outside, it would make a huge difference. The menu was diverse in taste. We chose from the vegetarian Indian menu which includes drinks and hors' dourves for the cocktail hour, appetizers, main course and desserts. We were able to taste the drinks and the dishes before we finalized them. We were more than satisfied with the menu; it was just delicious. From paani-puri and bhel to breads and paneers, the guests loved the food. If you are planning on a non-alcoholic cocktail hour, I would highly recommend the fruit-punch; it's not any ordinary drink.
Pros: Abundant parking space, friendly staff, delicious food
