Extensive menu with a range from North and West Indian food, to Oriental food. The restaurant looks unpresumptious, but they have several USPs: a digital menu that has over 300 items. Their starters are divided into 8 categories!

Then there are main courses, the Indian bread sub-menu, rice and noodles, mocktails, vegetarian food, and lots more. In fact, we didn't even venture into the innards, where they have a proper bar!

The next USP is their amazingly fast and courteous service. The states arrived in 5 minutes! We had Rajasthani Veg Tikki and Chicken croquettes. The person who took the order knew about every single dish we asked him about (Satish), while the person who waited on us (Santosh) was charming and polite and eager to serve.

The third USP is the good itself. It was creative, well cooked, with generous portions and delicious to eat. We got so engrossed in eating, we forgot to take many photos! For the main course, we had a prawn Malvani curry and Paneer Bhatti (the paneer was charcoal-grilled before being cooked with onions, tomatoes, spring onions and celery).

The mocktails were superb too. We, each, had a different one, naturally. Every one of these was great.

For dessert, we ordered gulab-jamun. That was the only "average" item on our purchases.

I strongly recommend this place. Thank you, everyone. I was told the owners are from South Karnataka. A picture hanging on the wall showed the deceased person to be a Shetty. Bless his soul.

P.S. The locality is not the best, but the trip is worth it! They also deliver and do takeouts.

P.P.S. They also do burgers, pizza, nachos, salads, tacos, and so...

This restaurant is right behind the Sassanian. Easy to locate and near to Marine Lines station. Food: We ordered Soup & Sizzlers here.🍵🍱

Spicy Grilled Fish Sizzler :🍽️ . You can select either Pomfret or Basa, we selected Basa. The fish served was a large fish cut into two pieces, was marinated and grilled nicely. It was served with rice, fries and a lot of veggies. Veggies and rice had mild flavors but the fish had some really spicy and strong flavors. So it was balanced. Overall a good dish!

Vietnamese curry soup :🥘 This was spicy and coconutty. Chef's spl. curried with herbs stirred in coconut milk. Flavoured with Lime and chilly flakes.

Service :

Service was good and quick. The restaurant is usually crowded on weekends.

Ambience: Good for fine dining. Family friendly. They have 3 different sections. One is close to the bar, the second one is cozy with sofas & the third one is right next to the entrance They serve alcohol in all the sections.

Conclusion: Overall Nice and pocket-friendly place.

Fun Facts: Vietnamese people consume the largest number of instant noodle🍝🍜 in Asia, even more than Japan - the home country of this processed food.
