Food: Inventive fusions with a pinch of letdown

Pijja Palace's menu executes an audacious transection of Indian and Italian gastronomy, evidenced by its Pijja Pizza and Malai Rigatoni. However, unsavory episodes of overcooked pizzas, stale ingredients, and ungenerous portions mar the otherwise innovative dining experience. The variety suffices, albeit with a hefty price tag that doesn't always justify the value.

  • Very Creative

    Unique, innovative Indian-Italian fusion with bold, memorable flavors.

  • Okay Variety

    Menu variety generally good, but some find flavor cohesion and execution lacking.

  • Small Portions

    Portions are small and not considered generous, or even tiny.

Vibe: Unwholesome bustle stunts ambiance

At first glance, the eatery's ambiance seems to absorb the vibrancy of its culinary assortments. Yet one is left to grapple with too-loud music, intense lighting, and the claustrophobic sensation of being cramped. Don't walk in expecting an intimate date night, for the place is too peppy for quiet whispers.

  • Great Drinks

    Inventive, refreshing cocktails paired with excellent service delight customers.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Too loud, bright lighting, and overly cramped space upset various customers.

Perks: Tight constraints on comfort and convenience

Traversing the labyrinth of sardine-packed parking to the crammed outdoor seating mirrors a test for your limits. High decibel levels suspend easy conversations and the sight of a rude hostess or long waits for groups dampens the mood further. Parents, especially, find themselves on a tightrope with non-accommodating provisions for kids.

  • Okay For Diets

    Accommodating of nondairy, better with dairy, good for some.

  • Bad Service

    Customers frustrated by rude hostess, slow service, and feeling overlooked.
