If you are fan of Desi style LOOKS and ambiance and value the atmosphere more over food taste, quality and service speed then this is your place. For ardent food lovers like me, this place was nightmare. We went there quite late (11pm) so I won't complain about not getting to order from namak mandi. Though now I think, it won't be any better so the closing time of restaurant actually saved us (items from namak mandi takes over an hour to cook). I tried to order stuff from namak mandi but the order taker humbly refused as their closing time was approaching. So we ended up ordering: Des perdes special soup 7/10 Lahori mutton karahi 3/10 Reshmi kabab 7/10 Malai boti 6.5/10 Vegetable fried rice 5/10 Mutton chops 6/10 Palak paneer (had no paneer) 2/10 Fresh salad, raita, assorted naan and puri parathas.
The service was very slow and delayed even though we were the only people they were serving. My point here is if it is your closing time and you are so keen on shutting things up, then kindly don't take the customers if you are not going to serve them properly.
We wanted more puri parathas n had to wait another 30 mins just because they closed the kitchen and had to reheat the oil. Wow just wow.
On top of that they charged us whopping 27k+ for the food including SERVICE CHARGES for the most pathetic service I have ever received from any food place.
Overall experience 3/10 Value for money zero Would visit...
