Everything tasted extremely flavourful! Chicken 65 was so soft & juicy, the biryani rice could be eaten alone by itself, the tikka was just an add on. Certainly recommend everyone to come & eat here.

We had dinner here & tried their vegetable Briyani, egg kothu & mushroom murtabha. Dishes were decent & service was slow & not very attentive. They also didn’t have many of the items in the menu this day. There was some birthday party happening downstairs in the event area & it was a bit loud that spoiled the ambience but otherwise they ambience is well lit, well decorated & clean. The restaurant is right on the street so easy to find but only paid street parking.
