I bought mutton kothu and chicken Biriyani. The mutton kothu was really good and the Biriyani was good but it could’ve been little more flavorful. But really liked everything ❤️

I had an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious — every bite was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The portion sizes were generous, and the presentation was neat and appealing. The service was excellent too; the staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout our meal.

Overall, I was highly satisfied and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience.
