My boyfriend and I ordered a curry of the day (butter chicken) and a beef burger. Both are horrible. This is one of the worst cafes I have tried in my life. We only ate half and left the remaining. My beef patty is burnt and the patty tastes yuck. My boyfriend is an easy eater but he had to complain about his butter chicken. We will never go back. Its such a waste of money. View all feedback.

Delicious food and drinks. The staff is very friendly. The combination of Indian and Western cuisine is a great concept. The view of the bay is also impressive.
