However, the quality of the ingredients was undeniable, and everything still tasted good! The service was prompt and friendly. It’s worth checking out if you're in the mood for something different!

" I had dinner with my colleagues here and we were mostly pleased! The food was tasty - particularly the chicken tikka—which was spot on! The staff was nice and attentive, but we had to wait a while to be seated. The vibe was quite upbeat, making it a good choice for gatherings. I would recommend this place to friends!
