Great Stuff!
Rarely do I give 5 stars to any joint. But I must give a 5 to this one! I have been here about a dozen times. Never has a bad experience. Only time I got angry was when I had to wait for a long time to get in. They can't help that anyway.
Well, they've tried a bollywood in colonial raj theme for the decor, walls and menu but I think it falls flat. It's not pathetic but not great either.
I met my (then) prospective in-laws here for the first time. I'm not sure, but I think whenever I goofed up answering something, I passed on the fish fry and prawns to them. The tasty dishes were distracting enough. :)
On a serious note, I must say that the food here, rocks! Consistency is their hallmark! Anything Mutton or fish here, tastes great. I just love the mutton biriyani. A meal for two minus drinks will come to Rs600+
Service is good. Music is usually old instrumental Hindi numbers, which is true to the theme.
The man at the door resembles Shikari Shambu (but doesn't look like he'll goof up easily) :). He always smiles, which is a good thing.
The place gets real busy on weekends, so it might be a great idea to book in advance if you want to be here. Now this also happens to be wifey's favorite joint. So I guess there is a positive bias here.
This makes me want to be posted at Bombay (this doesn't mean anything!)
peace.
