I love the fact they offer vegetarian options as well. Parking might be tricky, but once you're inside, it's a delightful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was a roller coaster. The food was fantastic, especially the samosas and chutneys! However, the service was a tad slow during lunch right after they opened. I understand it’s a busy place but maybe they need more hands on board. Otherwise, I am happy with the food quality and will visit again when less busy. " (*Curated Review*)
