A must visit place to connect to our roots when in Mumbai with authentic preparations, flavors, and...

Dining at this restaurant was truly a delightful experience that combined great food, warm hospitality, and a soothing ambience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere set the tone for an enjoyable meal. The interiors are tastefully done, with a calm and welcoming vibe that makes it suitable for both casual outings and family dinners.

The service was one of the highlights of the evening. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, and every request was met with a smile. Their recommendations turned out to be spot on, ensuring that we got the best of what the kitchen had to offer.

When it came to the food, I was thoroughly impressed. The clams were cooked to perfection, retaining their natural flavor while being enhanced with just the right seasoning. The mutton dish was another standout — tender, juicy, and full of rich taste that spoke volumes about the chef’s expertise. To accompany these, we ordered appam and neer dosa, both of which were soft, fresh, and absolutely delightful. They paired beautifully with the curries and elevated the entire dining experience.

What makes this restaurant even more appealing is that such high-quality food is offered at a very reasonable price. It’s rare to find a place that balances taste, quality, and affordability so well.

Overall, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic flavors served in a pleasant setting. I would happily recommend it and look forward to...

Will not visit again.

Overall 1 start rating as I cannot give a zero.

Review: This was the first time I visited this place.

Total Chaos of the management was visible and they were running all over the place for nothing.

Our order was in sequence of mocktails followed by starters and then meals.

But the order was served in no sequence at all. Mocktails did not come at all in the beginning. The starters took longer time and were not ready before the main course.

Half the order of starter was not even served. We found out that the lower and higher category staff did not even correctly understand exactly what we had ordered in mocktails as it was still not served. [E.g. Red wine Sangria was ordered and after half an Hour the staff told us that they don't have it in stock. (They don't even know that sangria is to be prepared.)]

Before giving the starters the main course was ready to be served.

Eventually fed up with the situation we started having the meal.

Till the time we had finished half of the main course the remaining starters came but again one dish was missing. We refused to take it as we had enough Chaos by then. Still the dish was charged in the bill. And then a 10% discount was offered which was frankly, total nonsense.

Overall the worst management skills were seen today at this place.

Portion of few dishes was very less in quantity as compared...
