    Dull flavors, not cooked with premium ingredients - suffered acidity. The smokey jhalmuri was the worst - it was store bought, unpacked and served afte transfering into a bottle. Not cooked onsite.

    Very well spiced with tender lamb and delicious, rich masala. Sea bass was moist and also was served with perfectly spiced masala. We split a salad and rice side which proved to be just the right amount of food. Deserts looked good, but we decided to save them for our next visit.
