We started with their Paneer Tikka, which was perfectly charred and marinated in a tangy blend of spices. The Butter Chicken was rich, creamy, and had just the right balance of sweetness and spice—pairs wonderfully with their garlic naan, which was soft with a crisp edge. The Hyderabadi Biryani deserves a special shoutout for its aromatic rice and tender meat, served with cooling raita.

Sweet hint in dosai...I ordered plain dosai and they served masala. I ordered no eggs veggie fried rice and they cooked them in the same egg pan so they tasted like masala omlette. Coconut chutney was frozen and thawed to serve. Sambar was very good and the tomato chutney. Glad I asked for gajar (careot) halwa taste, i took a small bite from that and I had to spit it out. Last but not least the guy with glasses who was behind the front desk was either oblivious or didn't care whatever it maybe, but when he came to drop the veg friend rice his arm passed my chest and his upper arm was almost on my chest and instantly had to lean to my left quite a bit to move away from being rather uncomfortable. Anyway not coming bk here ever!

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options are really good. I recommend the Vegetable Biryani!!

Love the fresh look of the restaurant. Very excited to try the list of new items added to their menu. Briyani combo and Indo-Chinese combo are so far their best.
