GoogleWe went there for Valentine dinner and it was an okay experience. I found this place as a recommendation from my friend and was disappointed. Firstly, when I called to make a reservation, they said they would not take any reservations for that day but when we went there, we were asked about it and then were added to a reservation. Secondly, the food took more than an hour to come and I had to ask the manager to check on it. We had 3 more tables next to us and everyone was served. The food overall was okay. The fish was very fishy and was sour with the tomatoes and onions on top of it. The lentil was okay, nothing special. The chicken curry was good but the chicken tasted little off. Overall, the quality of the food did not match the price and a long waiting period for the food did not give us a good experience but only gave the points for the ambiance.
