    Overall the food was good waiters were a bit rude however. They did seem very tired however I still expect a professional to be able to work through that and put their best face forward.

    I had an amazing dining experience at Fitoor. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated right away, setting the tone for a fantastic meal. The drinks were a delightful start-the Guava Mocktail was absolutely delicious, and the Sakura was just as refreshing. For appetizers, the Bombay Papdi Bhel and Open Fire Chicken Kebab were must-tries—bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The Truffle Mushroom Kulcha was a true delicacy, with its rich, earthy flavors perfectly balanced. To end on a sweet note, the Gulab Jamun Crème Brûlée and Paan Ice Cream were the perfect indulgences, blending traditional and modern flavors seamlessly. If you’re looking for a place that offers incredible food, great service, and a memorable dining experience, look no further. You will not be disappointed!
