You should definitely try Kadak. They have some unique flavours to their dishes, it’s not the typical flavour that you make expect. We tried their chicken wings, chicken biryani, and dabba gosht. All three dishes were unique, it’s different and it’s working ! Lastly, you have to try their guava mocktail, it was absolutely incredible.

Nice place to be on a cold rainy November evening! Service is knowledgeable and friendly. Food was good with high marks to the fried eggplant and crispy shrimp. The harissa half roast chicken was a generous portion, moist but a tad over seasoned with the dry rub which we found gritty and a tad too hot! Ambiance is warm and welcoming. Will be back. Great place for a pre-theatre meal.
