I just visited it. I liked the service provided by employee anuu, she was soo polite & great at service. Taste was good & overall nice experience at this store
The food was mind-blowing & full of Punjabi flavours. Service was great, staff were polite, & the place was clean. Loved it - definitely visiting again! Dhawan2271!
What sort of restaurant doesn't have menus? We were shown one on a telephone but we were 3 older ladies & none of us could read the small print. To my shame I lost my temper & asked aggressively for a menu. We were then given one but it was heavy in chicken & paneer {cheese} with no other real choices so we left. I don't know if the food was good but, no menus! Seriously?
