This restaurant received mixed reviews from customers. One customer experienced long waits for their food and poor service, while another customer found the malai kofta and butter chicken overly salty. A different customer was disappointed with the bland biryani they ordered. However, the restaurant also had its share of positive reviews, with customers praising the authentic Indian food, especially the vegetarian options and naan bread. The lunch buffet was also highly rated by customers. Overall, while some customers were dissatisfied with their experience at the restaurant, others found it to be their favorite Indian restaurant in the city, with delicious food and friendly staff.
