A very tasty place if you are looking to have parathas along with reasonable pricing…..however the starters are very pricey with quantity being very limited…chicken65 was tasty and veg Manchurian was definitely lacking flavor
Tried three kinds of parathas…mix veg aaloo and paneer awesome tasty with dahi and pickle
However, for a one time dinner or lunch this place will not disappoint.

Another downside is their payment policy. They charge card fees for both debit and credit card transactions, which feels unfair. Passing on their business costs to customers isn’t right, especially when most places don’t...
