Food was delicious and we enjoyed exploring dishes we had never had or even heard of before. The waiter was patient, friendly, and knowledgeable, and made sure we were well informed on any usual aspects of a dish (like the Litti Chokla being very dry by design). The prawn pepper fry were fantastic, and the mutton ahua was so spicy but so good. The bread under the beef rib eye really needs to be cut with kitchen shears and not a steak knife, but it's so good (soaking up all the yummy steak flavors) that I have ordered it every time I eat here. The cocktails were lovely.
