                                Food was ok (not amused by rice/naan not coming with the mains), not amazing. I had to wait standing for about 20 mins for my table. The food took a very long time to come. We had to ask for water in the middle of the dinner and they only served one of the two glasses, so we had to ask again. Would not go back.
