I am glad that we chose Kahani to celebrate wedding anniversary. The food ,service and ambience was just perfect or should I say it was exceptional. Out of All the dishes we had chettinad fish curry and grilled scallops was the star of the show. I loved how the chef had carefully created these dishes by blending British ingredients and with Indian spices and cooking. This restaurant has a lot of potential and thank you for making our time at kahani a special one.
