Good ambience, classy, Indian tapas like place.

Chicken biryani - 7/10 : well made, in an earthen pot, tasty, but the chicken could have been done better.

Chicken kabab - 7/10 : moist, well made, but needed more taste and marination

Lamb kakori kabab - 8/10 : really good job on this one, almost melts in the mouth, as they claim. Not overly spicy, but has a discernible black pepper taste to it.
