We visited with friends and a kid. Ordered a non veg platter which had well done kebabs and dips. We ordered lassi and masala chas which was nice but over priced for the small kullhad in which they were served. We ordered an awadhi and a lucknawi biryani. Both were delicious and had well marinated meats. However they both tasted exactly the same. Quantities were good too and one pot biryani easily serves 2 people.

We went as a group of 4 friends and absolutely loved the meal and drinks we had there. The vibe was wonderful and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was very tasty. The Lucknowi biriyani, galouti kebab, dahi kebab and sheekh kebabs were absolutely delicious. We're planning another visit there soon!

Food was exquisite and absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, level of noise was very high, and when I asked if the music could be turned down or off, it wasn't done.

Food was excellent, not an everyday typical Indian cuisine, but a well distinct cuisine style “Avadh/Lucknow style - flavorful, and meets the palate decadently, this was a big plus. Service was great, even though the place was packed we were seated within 5 to 7 mins of our reservation time. The only one big negative is that it’s a very small place and gets loud when it’s packed especially with a large group during dinner times. I would have enjoyed my dinner had it been a bit quitter.
