service was pretty bad, there wasn’t a lot of crowd and still no proper response from the waiters. f
The service was pretty bad. Despite there not being a lot of crowd, we still didn't get a proper response from the waiters. The food was below average, especially for its price. The golden fried prawns' batter was undercooked, and the kizhi parota was literally just prata and curry put together, lacking authenticity. Overall, the experience was quite disappointing considering the cost.

We go to this restaurant because we like some items on the menu. However, the service is a hit and miss. Sometimes we receive welcome drinks, and sometimes we don't. They claim to be out of certain items, but when we order the same drink from the menu, they are able to serve it to us. Some diners are served drinks in glasses, while others are offered paper cups. ♀️

Good friendly staffs in the restaurant and there was EID
A very good restaurant with a nice ambience. The staff were friendly, and there was an EID buffet taking place during our visit. The taste and menu were well-planned, and we were allocated a place to sit down and dine together. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and will come back again.

First up, the biryani was indeed good. I ordered the basic chicken biryani and it was full of flavour. The gobi Manchurian was acceptable, though it lacked a bit of oomph. The bindi masala was very tasty too. The mutton korma was a little too sweet and rich, and the mutton itself, though tender, seemed pre-cooked and lacked any depth in flavour. Overall, it was a good visit, but the biryani was particularly delicious.

My second visit. Came on last day of lunar new year. No Q and good food. This round tried other food
My second visit. Came on the last day of Lunar New Year. No queue and good food. This round, we tried other dishes which we missed on our first visit. Our favorite dish is the Inji Puli prawns. They were so good we ordered them again. Surprisingly nice is their paradise mutton soup, which tasted so different from other Indian soups we've had before. The only disappointment this meal was the Malabar chicken dumplings briyani. Overall, it was a good meal with affordable prices.

Had Mutton Dum Biryani ($17.90) for lunch, and it was good. The service was friendly and prompt. They served me a complimentary glass of mint lime juice, which was much appreciated. The ambience was nice. Basement parking is available within the development.
