What I liked:
• Ambience: Modern, loud, and full of party vibes. Great for people who enjoy music and a club-like feel.
• Service: Staff was polite and attentive.
• Drink: Delhi Wala Banta is always my go-to, and just like other locations, it tasted great.
⸻
Where things went wrong (Food):
I ordered Creamy Chilli Chicken, Champaran Chicken, Garlic Naan, Rumali Roti, and drinks.
• Creamy Chilli Chicken: Tasted like previously fried chicken heated and mixed with raw bell peppers & cream. Not fresh and too salty.
• Champaran Chicken: Chicken and gravy tasted completely separate, like chicken was cooked/fried first and gravy poured later.
• Rumali Roti: Felt frozen; edges were cold and hard.
• Garlic Naan: Fresh but again too salty for my liking.
For the pricing, I expected far better taste & freshness.

Gratuity & Billing Experience:
They charge 20% automatic gratuity, even if you’re only two people.
Staff did inform us about the gratuity beforehand, which I appreciate.
However, later I noticed a reply from the restaurant stating that gratuity applies only after 10 PM during DJ hours, and from 12 PM to 10 PM there is no gratuity. That was completely untrue in my case—I was there at 8 PM, no DJ night, yet still charged 20%.
They also mentioned in comments that a free drink is provided to balance the gratuity, but no one informed us about any complimentary drink offer, and I ended up paying for both drinks I ordered. If that policy exists, it should be mentioned by staff clearly at the table, which didn’t happen.

Final Verdict:
Great ambience, good service, and a nice drink experience—but food quality felt average and not worth the high price. For the amount they charge, freshness and flavor should be much better. With premium pricing + automatic gratuity + no clarity on policies + disappointing food, I personally wouldn’t return for dining.
Might work for drinks and vibe, but not recommended for food if you care about value and taste.
The butter chicken is a must-try for the main course — rich, creamy, and full of authentic flavor. The lamb chops were cooked perfectly, tender, and seasoned beautifully. Absolutely delicious
Great food, great service, and great hospitality. Highly recommended
The Sham Savera Kofta was outstanding — rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The spring rolls were perfectly crisp and fresh, making them a great starter.
Amazing food, warm hospitality, and a great vibe overall. Highly recommend visiting and asking for Jassi
The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was well-seasoned and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The portions were generous, and everything arrived at our table quickly and hot.
What really stood out was the customer service. The team went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and satisfied throughout our visit.
I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and excellent service. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Special shoutout to our waitress, Shruti—she was super friendly, attentive, and made great menu recommendations. She checked in just the right amount and made sure we werent wanting something. Her service really added to the night.
Definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking for solid Indian food with a fun bar experience. Must visit!!
