I had been to this hotel seriously I had very bad experience.

Chicken ghee roast which is medium in taste

neer dosa there was some insect was in it. Please find the photo below.

Ordered bangda tawa fry which was not fresh one it was smelling too. I just took a spoon of piece after that didn't even touch it.
