Read moreOh god. The most pathetic restaurant visited ever. Please can I have a 0 star review rating for this one.
No courtesy upon sitting down, no one to attend, owner's son is taking order, they don't have the "MUGHLAI MENU" by which they are running the restaurant but a Puja Menu which has everything except "A SINGLE MUGHLAI ITEM" on the menu.
The waiters served chicken tikka and honey chilli potato on serving dishes with a fork and asked us to eat it (Plates and Cutlery - sorry they don't do it there). When we asked they said, "Oh yes you will need that right?"
We also never got glasses to drink water either btw. When asked with a stern voice, unwashed glasses were given. I personally got mine changed twice.
Masala Papad - oh what a joke. If you're a true masala papad fan, you choose if you want to laugh on it or cry. Also, normal time Papad is ₹50 and if you ask during puja menu then it's magically ₹110 and the owner ain't apologetic about it.
We ordered lime soda. Received lemon water. Just like a WOW.
No tissue papers on table - when asked - the owner at the counter thought we asked for his kidney.
At the end, I wasted ₹2500 for a dinner here. So ofcourse I cannot give anything positive about...
