Must visit! The restaurant is cosy, the food is giant taste! We had the chicken biryani set, came with rata and Chai (which was spicy and flavorful). We also ordered the broccoli (yum), dahi kebab (excellent), and the goulati (not great). The service was attentive, and friendly.
My friend shreya who’s the marketing manager at BKC recommended me this place. The staff was very friendly and recommended amazing dishes. A big thanks to Arsh, Arnab and Dipankar for taking care of us. Would definitely recommend this place.
