Please please don't visit their restaurant if you want authentic Indian food. As an Indian and a desi cuisine aficionado, I can assure you this restaurant doesn't serve anything close to Indian food. Their rates are unreasonably high because the quality and taste of their dishes don't even deserve half the amount they're charging. The quantity of their dishes is absolutely miniscule as well. The chicken 65 WAS SWEET. The breading around the chicken was way too thick and the chicken wasn't even tender. Just because its red doesn't mean its chicken 65! The chicken biryani was an absolute joke. The kids in our family can make better biryani than this. I was perturbed by them choosing to go with boneless chicken breast instead of bone-in chicken pieces but despite that, the biryani was all wrong. Barely any proper masalas and dry rice. It tasted more like "khichdi" mixed with some chicken curry. They don't even serve raita with it and expect you to purchase it separately. The chicken mix grill was the only thing worth having as the chicken breast pieces were juicy and quite delicious. The mango lassi was absolutely delectable as well. The rogan josh was also a disaster as it didn't taste anywhere near the real authentic recipe. Tasted just like some cliché mutton curry. We couldn't even finish our food as we lost all appetite and had to pack what we couldn't manage to eat. Please don't get deceived by this place just because it has great ambience and plays bollywood music.

Good food and decent ambience, but I've tasted better Indian food for far less price elsewhere. I would recommend the restaurant to improve their quantity and washroom access. Service was excellent though.
