*update*
my latest visit to this veryrestaurantwas tad disappointing. the momos seem to have lost the zest that it promised once upon a time. don’t know why. maybe change of chef or change of mood. the golden fried prawns were blatantly average. as it lacked the crispiness that any foodie longs for. also the crispy chilli pork was nothing delectable. schezwan non veg mixed chowmein was just fine. honestly was a bit dejected while walking out to see the food degrading of arestaurantthat once showed so much promise. sigh!
but will visit once more to finalise my verdict.

review based on first visit:
after being repeatedly disappointed by momos offered by most of the restaurants in guwahati — my relentless search for a decent plate of momos got me here.
my order summary:
pork momos
mixed non-veg schezwan noodles
golden fried prawns in sesame seeds
chilly pork dry
the pork momos stood up to most of my expectations. the batter was soft, the minced meat was tender and juicy with needful spices. the soup offered along was delectable. above all the price was reasonable. however, the dip(chutney) offered lacked the spunk my spicy tongue longed for. nonetheless, that can be looked through. hence 4/5 for the pork momos
non veg schezwan noodles: the quantity was enough with generous servings of meats and veggies. and the noodles were thin and didn’t stick to each other, which for me is a good sign and sight. the spices hit my taste buds and kept me intrigued. so 4/5
golden fried prawns: it was just fine because maybe it lacked the crispiness or the dip offered tasted like fermented soyabean (akhuni). all in all it didn’t evoke any emotion from my taste bud with reference to the high price it commanded. will give it a 3/5
chilly pork dry: this was tad disappointing and blatantly average for me. i felt nothing was in place. the meat was bland. veggies were over cooked. the spices were not in the right combination. it just didn’t work out for me. but to each to eat his own. hence 2/5
my verdict: thisrestaurantshows promise to offer cuisines at par with most of the pan-asian fine dining restaurants in guwahati in a reasonable price. however, the ambience is youth centric. so not an ideal place for an all family outing. but reasonably a good place to chill with friends and enjoy the food.
