This is hands down the best restaurant I have ever visited in a while. Food is amazing has little of everything for everyone . Most of the review talks about Himalayan side of menu , however for me I really enjoyed non Himalayan items . All items are well thought out with well balanced flavor profile. My favorite was chicken sandwich and burrata . Ambience and service were great. Servers were vert polite and you do really feel like they care about you. Definitely coming back...
