I absolutely loved the atmosphere at The Grounds. The decor is stunning, and the ambience makes me feel relaxed and comfortable. They’ve put a lot of thought into creating a welcoming environment. The service stood out for me. It was the perfect mix of professionalism and friendliness, which made the whole experience even better. Everything about The Grounds—from the decor to the overall vibe—felt thoughtful and inviting. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a place to unwind and enjoy excellent service.

Good food! It's in a great location, so it's a must-try. Service is a 3/5, but if you're lucky, you get served by some very energetic waiters who would want you to try more stuff. The others just don't pay any attention to you most of the time or are very cold to you. They keep taking away the menus even if you ask them that you need one for your table to decide and order more stuff lol. But I guess that's not a big deal. Overall, a must-try if you're looking for good Indian food along with a good view.
