Some people have described the food as too mild; that was generous as my mutar paneer was utterly tasteless and whatever the cheese was, it wasn't paneer, as it had melted to a goo, coating a few frozen peas. The much-heralded cheese nan was just ok. However, the worst thing was the service. Now, I don't like over-attentive service but there is somewhere between that and scowling indifference.

To cap it off, the price is on the high side so there is nothing to commend the place.
