I am sorry to say that we did no enjoy our meal at your place. First I rang to book my table and there was a table with reserve sign on the table so I asked if we could be moved there rather sitting in the middle with two children. One child was three years old and having a glass table was bit dangerous. The reason I was given was it was reserved and they are coming later on. We were there till nine pm still nobody turned up. The whole restaurant was empty when we left. The food was not properly cooked and not well presented. The crispy bhahas were not cooked well. The bhale had so much salt in it. When branjal oro and bhaji for pav were served without any corrindar in it. When shikhand was served without any almonds and pista decorations. It just look as if sugar was added and served. According to the the charges for the dish I am sure you could have done better. It was my birthday and I invited my son and his family over. If I had known that it is nowhere near like how it shows on the web I would have selected a decent restaurant where things like would not happen. I have nothing to say to my family and friends apart not to recommend. I would like you to feel guilty so that you can improve rather than deterate . Our bill came quite high. But next time for decent food and better service I would think twice before select this place. These are my...

The manager and staff were quite rude and discriminating. We (me, my husband, my parents and my 2 month old son) went for lunch here yesterday. During the same time there was a group of young lads and a non asian couple. During lunch the manager came and checked with the both the parties how the food was whereas we were not ask neither he was welcoming.

Now please note we were in typical desi dress not sure if he discriminated because he thought we were not worthy of it.

Anyways fastforwading it to bill payment. He personally came and greeted the non asian couple and checked them out. Whereas, he did not even bother to smile back or acknowledge our thanks when we said.

He literally ignored us entire time we were there.

Being swaminarayan my parents don't eat onion and garlic so we thought it would be a good experience for them. Alas, they proved it wrong.

Even the staff did not explain what was available properly she muttered so quickly that my husband thought that only buffet is available and nothing else (which was not the case) which we realised after they provided amazing service of reciting the menu to the other groups personally.

Really disappointed. If the management reads this please make sure everyone is treated equally. They should not judge the the book by its cover. For verification you can check the cameras and the bill payment.

Thank you jai...
