  Ordered Manchow soup and Chicken fried rice through doordash. I must say, I never ever had such a nasty food in my life even at the most isolated places. In the name of food it feels like they sent the left over food from other customers plates. Throwing straight into the trash bin. NEVER EVER VISIT OR ORDER FROM THIS PLACE.

  Good service, good drinks, decent ambiance but that's it. The Biryani we ordered was some of the absolute worst we've ever tried. Everything lacked salt. We've come a long way from Dandi, you know? It's not a crime anymore to use some salt. Biryani was not flavorful. The supposedly "spicy" chicken biryani would've been scoffed at even by the wh*test Danish guy: no heat whatsoever made only worse by the lack of salt and flavor. Shrimp was seemingly cooked up in a hurry by someone who saw shrimp for the first time and hated spices. Would never visit again because no amount of good service can replace flavorful food which I thought is what you go to a restaurant for.

  Tried lunch buffet last Saturday, 1. Non veg - none of them were good 2. veg - only jeera rice was good, tadka dhal was ok but too salty, rest of them were no good 3. Starters - pani puri, mango lassi and other snacks including donuts, masala papad were excellent. 4. Pizza - the dough was overfermented and it tasted very sour 5. Butter Garlic Naan and butter naan- it was good when hot, afterwards it was very chewy and no good. After having buffet, felt heavy and bloating though did not eat much, it put me to sleep after an hour instead of being energetic after meal.

  I’m kind of disappointed with the service, food, and lack of transparency, I expected better given the reviews. When we ordered our masala, the server made it seem like garlic naan came with our meals. I had to ask twice before he finally clarified that it was an extra charge. I also tried to ask if our fries were coming out as an appetizer because I wanted to see if we could swap them for something else. Before I could even finish my question, he interrupted me and told me I needed to be patient because the kitchen takes a while. It felt unnecessarily rude, especially since that wasn’t even what I was asking. The masala itself was also very bland compared to other Indian restaurants I’ve been to. If you’re looking for the bold, well-spiced flavors you’d expect from Indian food, this really didn’t have that. There’s also an automatic 18% gratuity that we weren’t told about before sitting down, and I didn’t see any sign mentioning it. I don’t mind automatic gratuity, but it should be made clear beforehand. Given the service we received, I can see why they add it automatically.
