“Good tasty food... We enjoyed paneer manchurian, garlic naan and few other stuff... With beautiful Faloda ice cream”
“Updated Review: I believe it’s only fair to visit a restaurant more than once before judging it, so I’m updating my review after my second visit. This time I ordered the Veg Thali, and unfortunately it was disappointing. The dal was watery, the rasam was cold, the curd was sour, and most of the dishes were gravies with very little variety. A simple dry vegetable stir-fry (like okra, cabbage, or beans) would have balanced the meal much better. I understand restaurants adjust spice levels for a wider audience, but the food lacked not just spice—it also lacked salt and overall flavor. I ended up eating mostly the watery dal with mango pickle. My first visit was enjoyable, but this experience was the complete opposite. I hope the restaurant improves the taste, seasoning, and thali menu because the service and cleanliness are still good.”
