A Cozy Dining Experience with Delicious Food
My friend and I visited this restaurant on a Friday evening, bringing along a couple of wine bottles to enhance the experience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the tone for a relaxed evening. The restaurant, a converted house, was neatly arranged with well-placed tables, soft lighting, and mild background music, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
We requested a four-seat table to have enough space for our appetizers, and the staff readily accommodated us. However, our seating near the glass doors made it a bit chilly.
The service had its moments—when we asked for a wine opener, we were given one that required the strength of Arnold Schwarzenegger to pull the cork out! After some struggle, the young waiter attempted to open it but eventually took it inside and returned with the cork successfully removed.
For appetizers, we ordered Gobi 65, Paneer 65, and Onion Pakora. The Paneer 65 was outstanding, with well-cut diamond-shaped pieces that were cooked to perfection. I'm not usually a big fan of paneer, but this dish was an exception. The Gobi 65 was served oven-hot and retained its heat well, adding to its appeal. However, the Onion Pakora was underwhelming—not necessarily bad, but nothing to write home about. A single chutney was served for all three, which complemented the dishes nicely but could have had more variety.
Already full from the appetizers, we opted for a simple Plain Dosa for the main course. While it was decent, this place is more known for its North Indian parathas and variety of options, so perhaps we should have stuck to their specialties.
One area that could use improvement is attentiveness in service. The waiters were quite busy with other tables, mostly serving families and couples, so it took some effort to get their attention to place our order.
Overall, it was a pleasant evening with good food, a warm ambiance, and enjoyable wine. A few service tweaks would make it even better. I’d definitely recommend this spot, especially for their North Indian offerings
