We ordered Roast Chicken as an appetizer and Butter Chicken, Andhra Chicken Curry, and Kadhai Paneer in the main course. Kadhai Paneer was decent but the other dishes were great! We had to wait for a very long time to pick up our food, but it could have been the new year rush too.

How did they get their food license? Food has plastic spoon pieces in them. Their drinking water has oil. When asked about it the staff member was so rude and asked us to put a review on same but he did not even offer fresh glass of water. He should be definitely this location manager if am not wrong. What gave them that confidence to speak with customers like that? This is not the land for such kind of people. Beware of this person please, he would not even care if you see a cockroach in your food. But someone please teach him how to live in this country. He can be recognised with his black wig

I ordered some soup, it was OK albeit not great. Not too spicy, which is good. The other dish was fish fillet with rice. A pretty large portion, moderately spicy, a lot of rice but not too much fish. They offered fresh water, which was just regular tap water with not so nice taste. When I ordered mineral water, instead of it ($2) they brought a small plastic bottle of regular spring water ($1).
