See, honestly it's good in its price. It's really affordable and best when you take in groups. The place is neat and unhygienic. It's not photographic or aesthetic. Just a sobar place to eat with a gang or family. You can moderate the level of spices in the food by telling the waiters before they make. I tried both main course and starters. Nice experience overall.

It surprises me how i did not find this beautiful place before. I always pass through the petrol pump area but never noticed. The restaurant is neat, clean and beautiful with amazing staffs. Especially the manager who himself served the guests even tho there were servers present. I had a long talk with him and didn’t even feel for once that we met for the first time. Food is delicious. The quantity is humungous for the price we are paying if compared with other rest. Coming to the taste and quality. We ordered:

1. Chicken tandoori: usually i find tandoori chicken to be dry unlike here the pieces were moist and tender with no redness inside. The masalas were nicely soaked up the meat. Yum.

2. Egg wrapped noodle: The potion was HUGE! My mom and i could finish it. We parcelled it and still it was enough for my dad and me for dinner. Tasted good as it should be. Had a lot of shrimps & chicken. Not at all dry. And the egg wrapping was a piece of art. Must try.

3. Mongolian chicken: Very saucy. Had tender stripes of chicken with crunch bell-peppers which i loved. Went well with the rice. And this too was huge.

4. Tutti frutti: its my mom’s favourite. It was nice and had a lot of fruits. But we both felt there was too much bananas which didn’t quite go well with our tastebuds also I personally didn’t like the banana-ish smell.

5. Arabian delight: this one again had a lot of fruits. Too much fruits. And too much bananas. I didn’t like this one.

Tho the desserts weren’t the best part for which I’ll give it a 4.5/5. The other dishes were brilliant. Will go frequently now as it close to my place.

RECOMMENDED.

The quality and quantity of food served is pretty good for the price. There's ample of options in the menu. I wouldn't recommend ordering mocktails though.
