Tandoori fish tikka was spot on, juicy and smoky. Chicken lollipop good too. Service fine, prices decent for what you get. Been twice, both times solid.

Stopped by for a quiet breakfast and it did the job. Americano was solid, staff were polite. My sparrow breakfast came out a little cold though, and the fruit was mostly hard bananas. Not a big deal, just something to know. Place is easy to find, right off the main road. Fine if you want a simple, no-fuss meal.

The mocktails are hit or miss&mdash;Blue Lagoon was great, but they were out of several options. The food is delicious, and the overall experience is good despite the wait.

The chole bhature here reminded me of the ones my mom makes back home&mdash;fluffy bhature, not too oily, and the chole had just the right spice kick. Tried the Amritsari kulcha too, it was soft and buttery. Place gets crowded around lunch, but worth squeezing in for that kulcha honestly.

Loved the crispy baby corn here &mdash; proper starter material. Place is clean and nicely done up. Prices are a bit steep but the food makes up for it.

The dandan noodles with lamb were the real deal&mdash;properly spiced, rich, and filling. I&rsquo;d go back just for that bowl. The Tom Yum and wonton soups were alright, nothing to write home about though. Service was sharp, and the staff handled English easily, which helped when I asked about their wine list. Couldn&rsquo;t find a decent red to pair with the heat, but the food carried it fine.

Great spot for a quick bite near the ghats. Grabbed a thali and it came out fast, no fuss. Prices are a bit steep for the portion size though. Solid if you&#39;re in a hurry.

The window seats give you a really nice view, and the ghazal playing in the background was a lovely touch. Kakori kebab was the highlight, so soft and flavourful. Chicken korma though, just okay, nothing special. Service was polite and quick. Prices are on the higher side, but I guess that&#39;s for the vibe. Would come back for the kebab and the view.

The chole bhature was really good, fluffy bhature and well spiced chole. But heads up, there are a few shops with the same name right next to each other, easy to mix up. Slightly chaotic vibe but the food made up for it.

Vivek and Dhiresh really looked after us &mdash; their suggestions were spot on, especially the paneer dish. Service felt personal without being over the top. Place got a bit noisy later in the evening, but that didn&#39;t take away from the experience. Would come back for the staff alone.

The lassi was decent, though the place is a bit rough around the edges. Tucked down an alley, took me a minute to find it. Fine for a quick drink, but I wouldn&#39;t go out of my way.

Stopped by for breakfast near Assi Ghat. The homemade brown bread was fresh, really good with the eggs. Staff let me sit a while without rushing me. Prices felt fair for what you get. Place gets a bit busy later, so go early if you want a quiet table.

Stopped by for lunch on a weekday. Place has that desi village vibe, spread over three floors. Ordered the usual thali stuff, food was decent but honestly felt a bit overhyped. Nothing blew me away. The pickle basket though, that was proper. Ended with paan toffees, nice touch. Maybe my expectations were too high.

The Chinese side has way better vibe than the Indian section. Tried the crispy lotus stem, pretty solid. Staff were on top of keeping things clean.

The butter chicken was rich and properly spiced, though it did pack a punch. They brought out a cooling raita to balance it &mdash; smart move. A crisp lager would&#39;ve paired nicely with that heat.

The rose saffron lassi was seriously good, one of the best I&rsquo;ve had in a while. The grilled veg tandoori was solid too. The seating area felt really warm and homey, which I appreciated after being on my feet all day. Service was fine, no complaints there. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price.

The Thai som tum salad totally stole the show in that bento box. So fresh and zingy, I wasn&#39;t expecting it to be the best part. The rest of the meal was fine, but honestly I just kept going back to that salad. Would get it again just for that. Maybe a bit more next time though, the portion felt small.

Dimsums were solid, especially the Four Season one. Chicken bao hit the spot too. Quick service, good for a lunch break.

Went for dinner last night. Ordered the Galouti kebab and Raan &mdash; both cooked properly, soft and full of spices. Place had live music, decor was classy. Service was attentive too. Only thing, it&rsquo;s a bit pricey for the portion size. But if you&rsquo;re into Awadhi food, this is a decent pick.

The chicken wings were solid and hit the spot. Portion size felt a bit small for what we paid, but the place had a nice chill vibe.

Came here with a couple of friends after exploring the area. The food was decent, nothing crazy but it hit the spot. Service was a bit slow though, we waited a while for our order. Location is super handy if you&#39;re staying nearby. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if we&#39;re in the area again, but not my first pick. 😅

Been here a few times now. The Thai green curry with rice is solid and the veg ramen hits the spot. Service is quick too. Just expect a wait if you come during rush hour.

The regular thali is the way to go&mdash;decent price and food&rsquo;s always fresh. Deluxe one feels overpriced for what you get. Service was a bit slow today, but whatever. Quick bite sorted.

The pasta here is properly al dente, not the mushy stuff you get at most places. Chef clearly knows what he&#39;s doing with the sauces. Might be too tangy for some but I loved it.

We stopped by for lunch and ordered the thali. Honestly, one of the better ones around here. Spices were balanced, not too heavy. Vegetables tasted fresh, like they were prepped that morning. Dal was smooth, roti soft. Wish they gave a bit more rice, but I left satisfied. Good spot if you want a simple, clean meal.

Tandoori chicken was juicy, cooked just right. Veg platter had good variety too. Service was quick, got my food in no time. Solid spot for a quick bite with friends.

The cappuccino here was properly made&mdash;rich, not too milky. I tried the chocolate gluten-free dessert too, actually really good. Place was a bit busy when I went but the coffee alone makes it worth stopping by. Would come back just for that.

The veg thali was a good deal, half was enough for two of us. Daal makhni was really nice. Liked the dim lights and soft Bollywood music playing. Seats were comfortable too, which matters to me. Just wish the service was a bit quicker, but overall a pleasant spot for a relaxed meal.

The hand-churned ice cream is the real deal here. Also tried the tomato coriander shorba, which was a nice warm start. Place has that old-school charm, kinda liked it.
