located in the bustling city, times square is a resto-bar that will sweep you off your feet. with a very fancy and appealing ambiance, great food, and a range of refreshing drinks, this place makes it into the list of my top resto-bars in town.

the ambience was genuinely impressive. the fancy wall art, vintage posters, booth modelled spaces for sitting and a very well lit bar were a treat to my eyes. along with that, the music was great and the place had a very mellow and lively vibe to it that made me feel relaxed and energetic at the same time. there was a snooker table as well, making it a great spot for chilling out with your squad and spending some quality time. the place being family-friendly, made it even better! we had a lot of fun trying the delicious dishes and refreshing drinks of this place. trust me when i say this, this place has really amazing food. let's get started with what we had.
.
lady fish panco was the first dish served to us. it was fried to perfection and the crunch when i had a bite of it along with the light brown shade of the outer layer proved that. it had been served with classic tandoori mayo sauce which was a super smooth combination. the fish had a perfect flavour and didn't give off an extreme scent of sea-food that made it a show stealer. the subtle tangy aftertaste was good.
.
next on our table was the barbeque beef. in one word, spectacular. both presentation and taste exceeded expectations. the sauce that was used to cook the beef was mind blowing. i was surprised to how tender the meat was and loved how it melted in my mouth. it had an exquisite blend of sweet and spicy flavours to it and a very strong aftertaste.
.
up next were the king prawns koli wada. every bite of it reminded me about the very authentic taste of the bombay sea-food. it had an explicit desi taste to it that reminded me of the indian spices at all times. the best part is, it spiced up my taste buds but didn't burn them. it's crunchy and moderately wet texture was pretty great. i'd give you a small tip, it tastes even better with onions and i'd absolutely love to have them with a bowl of curd rice.

then came in the chicken tikka sushi. again, i was impressed with the fact that it was not spicy to the tongue but spicy enough for you to know the flavor. it had an excellent flavour on the outside with the perfect color. to the contrary, it was slightly undercooked on the inside.

in the main dishes, the first was my very favourite, chicken biryani. my nose caught the beautiful aroma of the rice and got hooked to it. absolutely lovely! the biryani had the perfect amount of ghee, making it very delicious. i could distinguish all the brilliant flavours that were put into it. the same fact that it was mildly spicy impressed me yet again. the gravy was slightly unique and gave off a homely taste which was very good compared to the usual gravy that we eat. it wasn't harsh to the throat and went along well with the rice. the chicken was beautiful. the spicy taste that it had was a perfect match for the rice. it was very juicy so my taste-buds had an amazing time.
.
.
then came the naan and mutton kolhapuri. the naan were pretty normal. there were surprisingly not very dry and were well roasted. the mutton curry was well-cooked. the mutton pieces were big and had the perfect texture. the flavors were to the point but they can work a bit on the quantity of the gravy. apart from that, the pieces soaked the flavour pretty well and have off a very authentic taste.
coming down to the drinks, i had the classic long island tea and my favourite, vodka cranberry cocktail. i found them very refreshing and they are my regular choices so i was very satisfied with them. along with that, i had some fine whiskey.

my overall experience was very great and this resto-bar is highly recommended to the people who would love to have a lovely time with their friends, family or even by themselves.
