🍛 What We Loved
The menu is extensive—think chaat, dosas, sizzlers, parathas, biryani, and even risottos—all vegetarian with several vegan and Jain options clearly marked. The Chole Sliders, Peri Peri Manchow Soup, and Paneer Lapeta stood out with bold flavors and great presentation. Their Biryani and Sizzlers are ideal for heavier meals, while the chaat section brings Mumbai’s street-side energy to your plate.
One of the best surprises was the fusion touch—like Schezuan Noodles Dosa and Tex-Mex Tandoori Mushroom—playful, but still honoring authentic Indian roots.

🌟 Ambience & Service
The interiors are stylish and welcoming, with Bollywood-themed décor that gives it a fun, casual vibe. Service was friendly, fast, and helpful, especially when navigating their large menu. Dishes arrive hot and well-portioned.
