As someone who grew up with authentic Indian food, I was excited to try Bhogali at Grand Palladium Palace—but it was a huge disappointment. The mango lassi was nothing like the classic Indian drink; it lacked flavor and even looked off. The Goan-style fish I ordered was terrible, and the mutter paneer wasn’t any better—poor taste, poor presentation.Garlic naan had no garlic at all.

My girlfriend has a dairy allergy so an Indian restaurant usually isn't the best option for her but once Chef Danyal found out, he was so accommodating to us. He took the time to make dishes that were off the menu just so she can enjoy her dinner.
