Lovely place and good food. However a bad experience given that I had booked for the Summer Restaurant Week only to find out that the set menu would mean ‘smaller’ servings and ordering from the A la Carte menu (which we did) cost the same for much more by way of servings and choice. Tbh it’s the server who gave us this heads up, when asked as we suspected it on seeing the menu. I don’t see the point in restaurants offering these ‘set menus’ which is supposed to offer value but in reality is just masquerading with smaller servings and limited choices. Not a good look for a highly rated ‘Michelin Star’ restaurant!!!

One of the best restaurants in Dubai, and it happens to be vegetarian! If you request beforehand, they can make the dishes vegan for you too. The presentation was excellent and the taste was even better. Every dish was amazing. This was a 16 course menu based on food from all over India, but primarily featuring dishes from Uttarakhand such as burans-ras, til ki chutney, bal mithai, gahad ki dal, jakhiya aloo. The team is really nice and full of passion, which you can clearly see in all the food they make. They are relocating to Dubai Hills soon, and I wish them all the success in the new location!

I’m a regular and I would’ve wished for the main courses to arrive after the starters and not everything at the same time, this is the second time I was experiencing this, but we still love this restaurant and everything coming out of the kitchen, however, our clay pot didn’t taste as it should.
