Tried their barbecue buffet with friends last weekend - such a fun concept for a group! Paneer tikka was okay but the marinade felt a bit bland. Dessert counter though? Totally worth it 😋

The mutton nalli nihari was properly rich and fall-off-the-bone tender. Dabba ghost had good masala too.

The turnip cake with burnt garlic was really good. Crispy outside, soft inside, and that garlic gave it a nice kick. I liked it a lot. The molten chocolate lava cake was moist and rich, though it didn&#39;t have the gooey center I was expecting. Still, it was a decent dessert. Service was friendly and the seating was comfortable, so I didn&#39;t feel rushed at all.

The masala shikanji was so good, definitely the highlight for me. Kulcha looked amazing but the taste was just okay. Fine spot if you&#39;re hanging out with friends, nothing crazy though.

Stopped by for breakfast around 9:30. Eggs Benedict was solid, hollandaise tasted fresh. Place fills up fast though, had to wait a bit for a table. Worth it if you&#39;re not in a hurry.

The fish thali was solid and easy on the wallet. Staff kept things moving even when it got hectic. A decent spot for a quick lunch, though noon rush means a short wait. A cold beer would&#39;ve paired nicely with the fish.

Jagadeesh knew the menu well, suggested a solid lobster dish. Portion was generous, service stayed professional without being over the top. Good spot if you want a hassle-free dinner.

The high tea spread was so well put together &mdash; loved the mix of savoury and sweet. Sat in the library corner with a book and honestly didn&rsquo;t want to leave.

Nice spot for a relaxed evening. The vibe is warm, though it gets a bit loud when packed. Parking&#39;s a hassle, so we just cabbed it. Their Old Fashioned paired surprisingly well with the grilled chicken.

Been going here for years and it still hits the same. Got the Chicken Shashlik sizzler and honestly the smoky sauce is just as good as I remember. Portion size is massive, could easily share. Only thing is the seating feels a bit cramped, but the staff were polite and let us take our time. Fine for a casual meal.

Buffet spread was decent but the live tandoori counter made it worth it. Just expect a wait at peak hours.

Grilled stuff is solid, no doubt. Had the chicken tikka and it was properly charred, juicy inside. Only thing that bugs me is the napkin thing&mdash;you gotta ask twice to get a fresh one. Service is hit or miss but honestly the flavour pulls me back every time. Quick bite, decent price, done in 20 mins. That works for me.

The a la carte menu had some solid options. Mutton main was cooked properly, biryani had good flavor. Chef actually came out to check on us&mdash;that was a nice touch. Place was decently busy for a weekday. Service was quick enough. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Been here a few times now, that paneer tikka never disappoints. Water charge still bugs me though.

Tasty mutton biryani and the egg masala had a nice kick to it. Tandoori roti was fresh too. Right on the main road, easy to spot. Parking&#39;s a bit tight though.

The strawberry wine was a nice touch, and the chicken burger was juicy. Quiet spot for dinner, though seating is a bit tight.

Been coming here for a while now, and the butter chicken biryani still hits the spot every single time. Tandoori stuff is solid too. Place isn&#39;t fancy, service can be a bit slow, but honestly, for a chill dinner with friends, it works fine. Consistent quality is why I keep coming back.

The crab thali was massive, fresh, and that Konkan curry had proper punch. Sitting under the coconut palms felt nice. Staff were decent too.

The mutton bhuna was really good&mdash;came out fast even though the place was packed. Caramel custard was alright to end with.

The bombil fry was crispy, curry had solid spice balance. Small place, basic seats, but fish thali worth it.

Stopped by for a quick bite before heading out. The place has that old-school charm, right near Marine Drive. Can&#39;t say much about the food, just had a snack. But the vibe is nice, feels like a piece of history. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something fast.

Stopped by for a quick bite and honestly the tea was the highlight. It&rsquo;s strong but not bitter, and they give you a decent amount. Place was clean and service was fast, which I appreciated. Wish the seating was a bit comfier, but for a quick stop it works. Would come back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

The staff knew their wine list inside out&mdash;helped me pick a Malbec that paired beautifully with my steak. Attentive without hovering. Solid spot if you&#39;re into food and drink matching.

The Sunday brunch spread is solid &mdash; live dosa and chaat counters plus sushi. Kids&#39; play area kept them busy, so we actually got to eat in peace.
