It is a nice place . Very well made , nice ambience , there pasta was really nice but the staff behavior needs a lot to make amends.

Try the pizzas and the chicken wings in barbecue sauce here...simply delicious. The breakfast(continental) too is nice. Especially recommended for non-vegetarians. The place has good ambience and nice music too. Great place to chill out with friends or family. More
