Reviews
I see a smoking plate being carried to a nearby table and I know what I’ll be ordering.
Our host is friendly and efficient. Our server attentive and checks our order for correctness. The service and attention to detail is good. Our table is cleaned a number of times and waters are refilled fast. I don’t think I got to anything less than 1/2 a glass.
The smoking plate is dahi puri. Nicely done. The yoghurt mousse on it is unique. There a bit of a kick from the masala. Very tasty. Very enjoyable.
For the mains we had lamb shank nihari and butter chicken. The playing is gorgeous. The food has a nice unique taste. A bit different from the regular flavors of these dishes but in a good way. The garlic naan bread delivers.
The texture of milk looks beautiful, tastes just right, and offers an excellent capper to a delicious meal.
Great experience. Nice ambiance. Good vibes.
Will be back.
Overall I would recommend the Tamarind Prawn and the Tawa Branzino over everything. The prawns were spicy and fresh and tender. The branzino was super tender and flavorful as well. Forgot to mention the Kurkure Maitake Mushroom – which is heavenly and meaty. Super great option to order!
The butter chicken is what you’d expect and the Lamb Shank Nihari was good too if you like lamb. The chili cauliflower was good as well, can ask them to add more chili flakes if you like spicy foods.
On top of that, the Dahi Puri had beautiful presentation, make sure to have your phones ready! We didn’t order drinks because we were still going back to work in the afternoon. I have heard great things though, can’t wait to go back and try.
Our host, Araceli, was the absolute star of the evening. She navigated us through the menu with expert precision and genuine warmth. While the pricing leans into the “Michelin territory” without the official star to match, the experience still hits a high note.
The Sip
• Guavalution: A vibrant start! A nice little spicy kick that wakes up the palate. ️
Small Plates & Starters
• Himalayan Momo: MUST TRY. Delicious, unique, and easily a highlight of the night.
• Masala Jackfruit Taco: MUST TRY. A fantastic vegetarian twist that bursts with flavor.
• Dahi Puri: A playful spin on golgappa, though it didn’t quite reinvent the wheel.
• Tandoori Maitake: Interesting and earthy; worth trying once for the texture.
• Chili Cauliflower: Fell a bit flat—felt more like a standard pakora/tempura and missed the “wow” factor.
The Mains (The Soul of Rooh)
• Rooh Daal: ⭐ LEGENDARY. Exceptionally authentic. Dare we say… better than Dal Amber?
• Saffron Rice: High-quality, perfectly fluffy basmati.
• Breads: The Garlic Naan and Onion Naan were the perfect vessels for that incredible dal.
The Sweet Finale
• Kela Kapi Brownie: Rich, decadent, and deeply satisfying.
• Texture of Milk: A creative twist on Rasmalai, though the taste was just “average.”
• Khumani Ka Metha: 10/10 for Presentation, but the flavor didn’t quite live up to the stunning look.
From the moment we were seated, the waiter’s demeanor set the wrong tone. We were abruptly instructed to place the entire order “in one shot,” delivered not as guidance but as a directive, without courtesy or explanation. Guests were repeatedly addressed as “boss,” a term entirely out of place in a refined setting and indicative of inadequate training in hospitality etiquette. Fine dining is about more than food—it is about grace, respect, and attentiveness. On Christmas, of all evenings, this lack of professionalism nearly spoiled what should have been a memorable dinner, creating a stark and unfortunate contrast to the excellence of the kitchen.
