The food was very light and homely. Also the variety of food frm different states makes it super interesting. Some dishes were outstanding, palak patta chaat, meat samosa, mustard fish, pork curry. Some were disappointing like idli, and black rice kheer. None of the desserts seemed appetising, but highly recommend it for the food.Also offers an amazing ambience in this world of swanky places, it's surrounded by indian culture and heritage. Quiet and experience.No booking, but tables move fast.
