    The place is good.

    I'd knock off two stars for the food 'cause the samosa tasted stale, like it was from the previous day. The other dishes were alright, though. And for the service, I gotta say, the staff was pretty arrogant. When I complained about the samosa, the server just gave me this stare and later tossed the bill.
