went to this place for a team lunch. we had the buffet here.the spread was quite balanced and good. they had salads, raita, kheer, batata vada, fish fry, chicken tandoori, dal, palak paneer, chicken tikka and egg plant.
the food wastastywith just the right spices. loved the batata vada, chicken tandoori and palak paneer. only complaint was that the chicken in chicken tikka was a bit undercooked.
the place was crowded which tells you that the food there is popular. but it does get cramped for space during peak hours.
