My favorite was the goat biryani, but the lentils with beef and the cabbage dish stood out too. I'm looking forward to visiting again and trying more!”

We ate delicious Kachchi Biryani (slow cooked goat), mixed vegetables, bread (naan, paratha), and of course, dessert! We enjoyed rasgulla and chanar sondesh, which were so delicious they need their own special review (gives me a reason to return!). The best mango lassi I’ve ever had. We will definitely be back!!”
