The host was rude. Asking us to put our sleeping 1 year old kid in a kids chair and refused us putting the stroller next to our table to keep him sleeping next to us. He made the whole experience at the restaurant Uncomfortable.

I visited the restaurant at 1:10 PM and ordered chicken biryani. After about 10–20 minutes, an Indian family arrived, placed the same order as mine, and were served by around 1:45 PM. However, I still hadn’t received my food by then. I asked the staff why my order was delayed and why others were being served before me, despite arriving earlier and ordering the same dish. Eventually, I received my food at 2:05 PM — nearly an hour after I ordered — which made me late for my flight. To make things worse, two other guests who came in after me also got their meals and finished eating before I was even served. This experience was disappointing and frustrating. I hope the restaurant improves its service and treats all customers fairly, regardless of their background or nationality.

Very slow service. we had reservations at 8:15 and were seated at 8:40 and food arrived at 9:40. Food was average. avoid the biryani it’s just flavored rice with tossed in meat not the real deal
