Very big restaurant with lots of seating. Would be great for bigger groups.
The food is great, well spiced and everything with its own individual taste. Would highly recommend the lamb dish.
Chicken 65 was more like Chicken Pakora, i.e. crispy fried chicken pieces and sauce served separately. Usually the fried chicken pieces are tossed in the sauce and cooked together and not served separately.
Also, Chicken 65 is prepared with curry leaves which adds a distinct flavour to the dish. But here, it was served with some other leaves. I have had Chicken 65 in London with curry leaves, so the ingredient is definitely available here, not sure why such an important ingredient was missed by the chef.
Coming to Chicken Biryani, it was nowhere close to south indian style biryani. It was just chicken and rice cooked together with very low spices. South Indian biryani is known to be spicy and flavourful in taste but this was anything but biryani.
Also, the restaurant is very expensive for no apparent reason. The decor and ambience is very average. In fact, you will feel hot on a warm day, they should keep the door open for ventilation. The plates are too small, more like a desert or starter plate and not fit for serving main course. And the food is strictly average.
Overall, I had a very disappointing experience
It has the vibe that is pretty casual and offers dosa’s, thali’s, as well as curries.
Evenings can be very busy here but a lunch spot is generally ok for a walk in.
Everything is well cooked with the lamb being my preference.
Definitely worth a try.
