Ordered Paneer Tikka Biryani with Medium spicy level, but it was so spicy that we could not eat at all.
Kesari with the combo was not good, but regular breakfast items were great. Service could get better, felt like staff are not paying attention and busy with behind the counter activities

I used to eat here all the time... it's been about 4 months. I ordered it as delivery today, and I've never experienced anything like this! They literally watered down everything! Portions are smaller, and it literally looks and tastes like spices in water. The bread is still good though. Super disappointed. Won't be back.

Tried Indian food here for the first time & definitely coming back to this place, service was 10/10, atmosphere was 10/10, & food was 11/10, there’s no reason why this place should be rated 3.5 stars
Bad experience, my brother got sick after eating food from here , no good

Chole bhature was bland and not soft at all
Very bad service! Servers are rude and very impolite! Food is okay
I won’t go there again because when we asked for water the server said there’s no anymore water because they ran out of water…. Who the hell in the world run out of water to drink at a a restaurant ? 😅🙁

Came here for some chaat and I was in for a big disappointment. I’ll let the pictures do the talking, one is what was delivered (not sure this can be called chaat) and the other pic is the advertisement

Hi Everyone:
We visited this place couple of times already and recently visited around June 2025. Experiences are always mostly the same — nothing changed.
At summary :
Food Quality : We ordered 2 masala dosa this time and it was pretty fast because the restaurant was not crowded! Quality of Dosa was really delicious 😋, we enjoyed a lot!
Service : First of all, everything is online like placing the order and all. I know lot of people like that but we didn’t like that approach, no one even bother to offer a glass of water. It’s just like a robotic approach, place the order and it will come but no one will ask “how was the food?” Or “offer a glass of water” etc etc. — kind of personalized approach which gives a great feel.
Atmosphere: it’s really very nice ambiance inside, gives a pleasant environment overall — we throughly enjoyed !!
Overall we enjoyed throughly but unable to give 5 because of service. If the mgmt. provides attn. towards more personalized services it will be awesome!

Fantastic Dosa and Hydrabadi Biriyani. The ordering system is very annoying. You have to order and pay online using a QR code. You have to give the tip up front.

Food was very authentic. The chole bhature was amazing. Definitely ask for onions/achaar on the side because it didn’t come with it.
