"New place in town. Went for a friday lunch. Environment was good. Food was average. Many room for improvements. I ordered a chicken thali set and 1st time I was surprised with a thali set with such less variety and first time saw a thali set with fried egg which was quite weird. Only one vege and one chicken gravy plate. I've had thali which were way cheaper with many varieties. Really need improvement on this. Service time needs improvement. Had to wait nearly 45 mins for food to arrive. Clearly understaffed during peak hours. Revise your food varieties and improve service time. Overall ok.. hope to see improvements the next time."

"This restaurant serves an incredible biryani! The rice is perfectly cooked, with a fragrant blend of spices, and the meat (chicken / mutton) is tender and flavorful. The portion sizes are generous. The coffee was equally impressive, with the perfect sugar level, not too sweet, just right. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion size. Easily one of the best biryanis I've had. Highly recommended!"
