Food: Mediocre meets Inventive

The Butter Chicken Pot Pie encapsulates the restaurant’s creativity – a golden crust housing delectable butter chicken. Pani Pani Poppers explode with flavor, and the Truffle Cheese Kulcha oozes deliciousness in every bite. Yet, the menu falls flat, with several dishes being bland, portions small, and the price unjustified. The novel idea of twisting traditional Indian cuisine doesn't always translate well onto your palate.
