The food is generally okay, but the biryani was very disappointing, and the waiter was not pleasant.
The atmosphere is nice.
I really wish they would add more flavour to the chicken in the biryani - it tasted like boiled chicken was added at the end.
I did like the paneer curry and the chicken starters.

Tasty foodAtmosphere
Really excellent food. Very generous too. Subtle spice, deep flavour. Great cocktails too. Service went from cool stand offish to very attentive. Overall a fantastic experience that would be better with consistent service but it’s a minor quibble.
This restaurant is amazing. It's a very romantic atmosphere & the staff are very accommodating. I've had no complaints here. I've been here twice - once about 3 months ago & one time about 4 years ago... I've had a pleasant experience both times I've been.
