Downside : ladies toilets were dirty. I remove one star for that.
Attended a special birthday party in the afternoon with a group of 90 people.
Enough space for a dance floor and dining.
Very impressed with the staff efficiency, friendliness and excellent cuisine at reasonable price.
Will definitely be arranging more parties there and will visit again.
The menu has 3 veg starters, 2 veg mains and 5 veg sides. The starters were OK. Nothing stand out. Bhel puri was good but I think it's hard to get wrong. I found the aloo tikki quite dry. It tasted like a ragda petit without the chickpea base. I wished it had the chickpea.
I really liked both mains. The kofta was really good. It's on the sweet side so be warned if you don't like sweet mains. The paneer was good and reminded me of a chilli paneer starter. Tried the dal makhni which I liked but not as good as Dishoom.
We also had the chocolate dessert. It came with vanilla ice cream. I did not like it. It was quite bitter which was not an issue. The problem for me was the texture. It was not smooth on the palate. It felt like there was too much gelatine (which made me realise I forgot to check if it was vegetarian!). It was one of the worst chocolate desserts I have had.
My advice is to avoid the chocolate dessert. I am sure the traditional Indian desserts are fine.
