ERNAKULAM - food - cheap

We stayed in Ernakulam a few days and found a cheap - good place to eat. The Abad Hotel on MG road. On the 2nd (US) floor are 2 restaurants - one Indian food, one Continental food. We ate at the one with the Indian food - it was a buffet so we could eat as much as we wanted. There was a reasonable selection. With non-alcoholic drinks the bill was always less than $8.00 - this was for 2 of us!! And lunch is cheaper, I think the bill for 2 was less than $6.00!!
