I've heard immensely about this restaurant so visited here around 3 o' clock when its mostly empty. Its a small place with very limited seating capacity. Zomato and Swiggy partners can be seen crowding up the entrance. 2 and 4 wheeler parking is at owners risk as the place has no dedicated parking space. We had to park in an alley opposite to it. Upon entering , you a greeted with a pungent smell, which really questions the hygiene. So its advisable to be seated in the AC family section. However, the family section is not very upkempt and feels outdated. Started off with Veg Manchurian , paneer Manchurian and noodles. All tastes good and pleasing. Then had a special dish Narmada Paneer which I would highly recommend. Its a huge paneer cube filled with aloo masala, with a crispy hot and spicy layer. Its heavy on the tummy too. Takes time to prepare so order in advance. As for main course, we ordered Malai kofta and butter Naan, which were above average.

Didnt had further appetite for another star dish - Tadka Panner. Staff here is courteous and fast serving. Overall a satiable experience and can definitely...

I recently visited this restaurant and tried Paneer Butter Masala, Butter Naan, and Kajju Biryani. The taste of the food was really good – flavorful, fresh, and well-prepared. Each dish had its own authentic touch, and I especially enjoyed the richness of the curry paired with soft, buttery naan. The ambiance of the place is also decent – clean, pleasant, and comfortable enough for a family outing or a casual meal with friends.

However, one thing I strongly felt was that the pricing is on the higher side. The cost of the dishes does not really match the quantity served. Compared to other restaurants offering similar items, the portions here are quite small, which makes it feel a little less value for money. While the quality is undeniable, customers usually look for both taste and sufficient quantity when dining out, and here the balance...

Awesome Food taste for me as I am an north Indian. Food was tasty for all vege if you are searching for vege food then you should visit here.

But if you are on diet then I will remind you that they use Ghee i.e; clarified butter instead of oil mostly.

Oh geez ... I don't like Ghee , but I can adjust with that as don't want to eat Non-veg.

My best 2 items that recommend is 1. Panner Chatpata with Naan and 2. Handi Biryani. Rest is rest.

Quantity is enough for 2 person if you have a normal person diet. Quality is good as it's price. Food are not overpriced and taste is the things that is still same as you have ate last time. Food is hygiene, well maintained, well staffed.

Service is Good and during rush hour traffic we can't except Best.

At the end of it, I love Veg , I love Biryani, and I...
