So I came here with very high expectations after reading the menu, everything sounded very interesting. The okra came first and was really good, light crispy batter and the sauces were nice as well. The seafood chowder that followed was a little thin, and there was some maida or something which was lumpy and had not incorporated well. The butter garlic prawns had an extremely thick and heavy sauce and we could not taste the kaffir lime at all. The Rechado had a nice flavour, but the fish was frozen and the texture was off because it was weirdly soft. The calamari was nice and crispy, tasted like a calamari chilli from an Asian place, no curry leaves and nothing 65 about it. The prawn toast was fried in oil at the bottom and was very heavy. Lastly, the Modak was not a Panna cotta at all, it was frozen and tasted more like a kheer. However when I brought that to the attention of the person serving us, he didn’t charge us for dessert. By and large the service was very nice and the guy was extremely sweet. The place was nice and minimalistic as well, just disappointed by the food. Hopefully it gets better because the menu is promising
