Since there is so much hype and good reviews about authentic manipuri veg and non-veg thali available here at Luxmi Kitchen, we went to try it. First, the wait time is quite longer than expected.

The homely feel that the food items used to have are not there. Its like its just another chakluk(thali). The manager or the man at the reception was pretty rude, although the staff were nice. Customer service is something that man has to learn before he shoos away potential customers. Happy to write that they have improved a lot from last year and i hope we get the authentic and nostalgic taste of Luxmi kitchen when they...
