I honestly have only ordered on Uber eats (which feels shameful) so I really do owe this fine establishment a proper visit. I don’t know the atmosphere in there but it sure lights up my household. I love you so much. Thank you for always cheering me up.

Despite it being peak dinner time, the restaurant was empty with only a few people doing takeout orders. The service was very poor, with one waitress even asking a member of our group to hurry up and finish their meal so she could take their plate. The food did not taste quite right. The calamari had too much batter and the rings were too big to eat comfortably, as the membrane was left on and made it difficult to bite into. The vegetables in our biryani were overcooked and mushy, as was the rice. Overall, we were very disappointed and will not be returning to this restaurant.

However, during a recent visit with out-of-town guests, we were disappointed with the new chef's preparation of our appetizers. When I asked our young waitress if there was a new chef, she replied that there was not. The entrees arrived, and my spouse's mild dish was unexpectedly spicy, causing discomfort. Our guests did not enjoy their meals and left them uneaten. I was quite embarrassed by the experience and would recommend bringing back the original cook.
