The food comes really spicy so do not take recommendations from the waiters and give precise instructions to make it less spicy than usual. Prices are on the medium side. Situated in the residential locality of karve nagar. Parking could be an issue of you're carrying four wheeler. Some staff members are friendly and shinde are rude, as if they...
