by far, the most amazing dinner experience in India. Open all day long, service is not fast, seats may be uncomfortable to someone, and definitely expensive; nevertheless it's worth trying, as the Indian-adaptation of Mongolian dishes is absolutely awesome and quite different from average Indian food.

Excellent decor, good ambience, courteous staffs and great food sums it all!!! Authentic Afghani finger licking food served in this restaurant but it comes with a cost for sure. Price is definitely on the higher side and with 30+% tax charged, you would end up with no scope for tipping for the good service rendered by the staffs. If they... More

The plus points are the food varieties and the location. The options are unique and the service is good. The ambiance is too good. The problems are the cost and everything is priced in the upperend side.

This is one of the best restaurants I've ever visited-rt fm the ambience, the funky 'newspaper' menus to the service-prompt & efficient-to the food-it all adds up to a great dining out experience; The kebabs are good-we tried the chandni & the galauti, but the biryani turned out to be even better!
