About

The Egg Mutton Kebabs and Poussin Fried Chicken (tastes like buffalo wings but a whole chicken) are standouts, and the chile crisp paneer is a must. Very clean, refreshing, shaded with fans and private cozy atmosphere perfect for dates — it's behind a shop front down a narrow corridor (difficult to find walking by), and service is quick though it's all fast food so don't expect home-cooked meals.

    the food was exquisite! The service very kindly, the waiters put air conditioning on us and so often they asked us if we needed anything, that was nice. Definitely i will back !

    Great escape right off the street. We had a great meal for a large group, the service was very quick and friendly team. Everyone enjoyed their meal from chicken fingers to chicken tikka masala! The chile crisp paneer is a must!

    Its a very modern and minimalist design restaurant. Its a bit difficult to get to. If you just walking the street you will miss it. Its on the street behind the Hindu temple in town close to the old Catholic University building. It's behind a shop front and you go down a narrow corridor to get to it. It's very pop up like with outdoor seating and tent like covering. The staff are very courteous and quick to serve. The menu is all fast food so if you looking for something home cooked then you wont find it here. I loooove the pizza and samosas. You could also give the bhajias a try or the burgers. They have some new sweet drinks and a revamped menu. I like that they are trying to renew themselves. There's usually some music in the background and the manager/owner always wants to know if you are okay. I have been here a few times and it's the perfect place for a date or easy meet up. It's a little removed from the town center and they have recently expanded the eating areas. It looks really cool at night. It's kinda romantic on a weekday evening if you wanna go on one of those easy and quiet weeknight dates. The staff have been there for sometime and pretty soon you get acquainted with them.

    Genuinely 5 stars in every aspect and category. Very clean, refreshing, shaded, fans and private. Cozy atmosphere. Great date spot. The Egg Mutton Kebabs were my favorite. The omelette vas excellent. I recommend the Poussin Fried Chicken among the 3 options. Taste similar to buffalo wings except a whole chicken. Very tasty not too hot. We are staying at the Savora Imperial Hotel and this blows it out of the water. We would come back daily if staying here.
