A totally satisfied meal. Had the naan, chicken tikka masala & mutton donne biryani. Truly enjoyed the taste. As a person from Bangalore the donne biryani brought so much memories. Jamoon for dessert made it complete 😋

I wish to give NEGATIVE stars would be an option also. TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. NEVER EVER GOING TO COME BACK AGAIN.

We were a group of 6 who went to this place today. Chicken & Paneer was good. But the horrible thing was MALAI KOFTA which was more like CARDAMOM SOUP. There was no Malai in that. Worst MALAI KOFTA I have ever seen.

But, that was not at all... The scariest thing about today was that, the full serving area was managed by a BRAVE FEMALE STAFF. I forgot to ask her name but she gave her best to that job. She was taking orders, cleaning tables, handling the cash counter & serving food as well. We were there for more than 2 hours & there were almost 4-5 tables occupied by guests (somewhere around 20 people). But that girl was doing everything there was nobody who was assisting her. The shameless kitchen staff were watching through the glass but none of them had the courage to come out on the floor & help that girl.

The owner/manager should be ashamed of themselves for such poor management. This was a clear show of work place exploitation.

It felt like an Indian cooking Netflix show in there. Food was insane. Highly recommend lollipop chicken drums, it's the best fried chicken in town. Warning thought it's very complicated when the whole order is not shared with everyone.

I went there with a group of friends & it was phenominal. I've always been hesitant to try out Indian food in restaurants because they hardly ever compare to the homemade stuff but, this blew my expectations out of the water. We ordered a massive platter to share between the 4 of us. It was the first time I had Indo-Chinese food & it made me became an instant fan. I highly recommend their lollipop chicken & the chicken manchurian. The service was very courteous & welcoming as well. No matter how much I try I can't find a single nitpick.

Alot of choices in the menu! Tried the Mango Magic drink, would have been nicer if it were colder. Otherwise shared 3 dishes, one chicken curry, one mutton bryani & a cheese paneer, all pretty tasty & a bit spicy! We added garlic naan bread which was good.
