The restaurant offers good food and has a friendly, polite staff, making it a great spot overall. However, there are a few areas that could be improved. My friends and I visited on a Sunday, and while we enjoyed ourselves, a few things stood out. First, the upstairs dining area could use better lighting. The overhead light was so dim that we could barely see each other, giving the place more of a local bar feel than a restaurant. A little more light would make a big difference. After a bit of a wait, our food started arriving one by one. The food itself was great, but it was served on paper plates, which made it a struggle to keep them from blowing away in the wind. Even when we asked for a glass, we were given a paper cup. For a meal that cost around 1700 rupees, it would be nice to have it served on proper plates and glassware. Overall, it was a good experience, but a few improvements could make it even better.
